Rented and abandoned. Read the full report. Also interesting that he/she needed money for a gun(!) to take revenge on some ex.

Yes. But what do I care whether it's four or five reports in a year sitting at the desk.

". The above mentioned documents must be sent by registered mail and the receipt of the registration kept by the foreigner. Send the mail before the renewal date 15 days to Immigration Checkpoint in local area where the alien resides." From: https://www.immigration.go.th/en?page_id=1666 Doctor was faster 😊

In contradiction to what has been written in the forum and what I have done. Will later search for some references.

Dumb question. Your profile says you live in Phuket? Shouldn't the letter go to your local office? It's some years that I did by postal mail and always to my office.

What is wrong with Thai women (on dating websites) in 2024
KhunBENQ replied to StayinThailand2much's topic in General Topics
Women who are single and living in Thailand will have no problem if you ask them for a video chat on LINE. And they might even insist to see and talk to you on video to make sure that YOU are not the Nigerian scammer. Lots and lots of such remarks in the descriptions (no scammers, don't bother me etc.). Two sides of the medal. -
What is wrong with Thai women (on dating websites) in 2024
KhunBENQ replied to StayinThailand2much's topic in General Topics
Someone had to say it. If you filter for Pattaya and some other redlight hotspots, what do you expect? And the big majority of those WANT to meet and are real (many photos heavy filtered though). Some just want to lure you to their bar/club etc. The best looking have hundreds of messages piling up and dump their profiles, create new. Big difference looking at provincial cities e.g. And even for Pattaya I would estimate that numbers like 95% gold diggers are exaggerated. Let it be 75%. -
Don't expect any serious issues to be discussed with this figurehead. Close to no real power except denying countersigning laws. The plane thing has easily been digested (quickly paid from the petty cash). No lack of VIP air traffic to/from Thailand. The submarine engine is nothing he can discuss. Can best act as a mailman.

Jomtien Immigration improved backwards
KhunBENQ replied to Kinok Farang's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When I read all the fuzz about 90 day report in Jomtien I could come to the conclusion that it is not possible there? My last online report cost me about 5 min on the mobile and approved after 1:47 hours. -
Photo recognition for the banks
KhunBENQ replied to briley's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Good reminder. Haven't shaved for two days 😊 (I go as no beard) Seriously: visit the branch and ask about an exemption. SCB led me through a procedure to confirm that no limit applies on my own risk. Until now I have not got a notice from Kasikorn about facial recognition. Only with Bangkok Bank it works after they reworked the procedure. -
It's measured in mg/gr or percent. 2.32% is 23.2 mg/gr of cream. Usual "Difelene" brand in Thailand is 1%. As far as I know OTC stuff in Germany is limited to 1%. Pills can have up to 100(!) mg of Diclofenac. Be aware of the side effects particularly on the liver.
-
The box says 8 gr as shown in self taken picture above.

And are you looking at a certain example (flights, airport)?

Recently read a rule of thumb. (from Europe) While your shadow is shorter than you, sun is strong enough to build Vitamin D. About 15 min in the sun is enough. Don't take Vitamin D for no reason! Too much risk with overdosing. As the sun in Thailand can be so high up you might have to sunbath/lie down or you just burn your skulp 😊

Did some search and both regular Kellogs as well as Nestle contain about 8 to 10 grams of sugar per 100 gram. If you chew them dry you will notice that it must be sweetened. Much less though than the choco stuff etc. I eat Kellogs and will continue. 100 grams is much more than a serving. The few grams are far from what I consume with chocolate etc. (I am an addict). To me it looks like Kellogs is made from drum rolled corn while Nestle is some extruder product from corn porridge. Just to uniform and lot of fine bubbles included ("foamy"). Tried it and don't like it.

Severe drought? Shortage in sugar? Sounds strange to me suffering from the endless queues behind the huge sugar cane trucks. Many passing along the house. If there is shortage of sugar I assume it's more from the fact that it ends as ethanol for fuel. Bought sugar about 10 days ago and no sign of shortage. Must be new.

Two factor authentication (2FA) app (urged by WISE)
KhunBENQ replied to KhunBENQ's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
That's really interesting. I am always concerned about the possible loss of the phone. What a hassle to get back to normal. -
You forgot Villa and TOPS at Central which are MY two most important spots. That western food shop "Cheese 2 Meat You" has some interesting stuff too.
-
Since I while I was bothered by the WISE app about installing an "authenticator". Another mythical number generating app connected to other apps. Google again seems to flood the place with its Authenticator app? After some research I decided against and setup "Authy" from a company named "Twilio". Account "hard wired" to my Thai phone number it seems. Never heard these names before and now hope the the next WISE transfer will go smooth. Anyone has own experience with such apps? How does it add to security? I have not quite understood the extra benefit.

Not much worse then now. Who fishes for the purse? They fish for their mobile, search for the bank app, search for the QR code scan and then... hopefully it will work. Payment always comes as a surprise. (sorry for repeating the boring reality) Extra steps... It becomes more and more a PITA to use online transactions. Just think about the introduction of face scan. Brilliant. Not only here. 2FA hunts you. But that leads too far.

A computer illiterate friend in Jomtien called me for help as his new external 1 TB HDD (3.5") could not be formatted (bought online somewhere...). After looking at screenshot and head scratching I found that this c.ap identified as 10(!!) TB 😁 Price though was really good at 800 Baht. But for a paperweight too much. I told him for his next shopping at Friendship to walk another 100 m to Advice and buy a working piece.
