In the visa forum there is a thread (no replies yet) from "Guest". Is that an intended new feature? https://aseannow.com/topic/1309721-extention-non-immigrant-visa-o/

You can do the usual spam checks: 1) check the sender address (not the display name which might be "Facebook....") by using "detail view" or whatever it is called by your mail provider. On the PC it might be enough to move the mouse over the sender field. 2) does the mail address you with personal details or is it just a "Dear Facebook user..." type? 3) does the mail contain links and where do they point to?

Ok. Need a hammer 😁 Unplugging needs a winch. I'll ask mods to close the thread.

(no idea about duplicate pictures, upload error occured, I should not try on the mobile, total mess) About the above: Yesterday bought this flat Häko outlet. Is this normal that the plug won't sink completely?

Three pin: Häko: New normal?

Some are lucky like me. 5 hours until approval today. Others not. A mate living nearby always gets reject without comment. And that after it worked for him in the past. And even worse: no one at KK office is willing or capable to tell what the problem is. The guy has never left the country or moved residence since about 15 years!

Fine, so the sheiks can drive electric solar powered and have more oil left over to exp(t)ort.

Same further east

(noticed post above too late) Are you serious? A Tunisian kills two arbitrary Swedish football fans in Brussels? He is on the flight but 99% identified from a confession video on the net. Claiming to be inspired by ISIS. Swedes targeted as revenge for Koran burning in Sweden. A denied asylum seeker that should have been evicted. Same s.it everywhere.

When did you last hear the anthem at 6 PM and people "freezing"?

Sounds like a necessary measure with the repeated cloud error messages.

The rule set/laws/taxes regarding motor traffic is a complete outdated joke. Don't know where to start. Instead of shuffling billions around to manipulate fuel prices encourage people to buy fuel saving cars and don't advantage bulky Diesel pickups. Some of the most boring "mix" of vehicles on the roads. Comes just after Afghanistan ????

Bangkok prices. Prices for rest of country easily 0.50 Baht higher, islands maybe more. Diesel price fixed by subsidies/preferences at the expense of petrol/gasoline users.

On the other hand, who wouldn't want to escape from that:

And those who come from other cold countries in Europe have to fight with the electronic tourist visa application to beg for 60 days (proof of residence, accommodation in Thailand, flight booking, financials bla bla). Worse for 90 day Non-O with health insurance. The non PC savvy often can't get it right without help. Completely outrageous a.. kissing. How many legit Russian tourists with their devalued currency have the money for a 90 day family holiday? Everybody knows what they are fleeing from and their "innovative ideas" to finance the stay.

No. Same like ID card, driving license: picture taken with digital camera at the office. Bio-metric data incl. fingerprint and iris scan(?) is transmitted electronically to Bangkok office.

I just checked for mid to end November.

Check hotel bookings after mid November for popular hotels. I was a bit perplexed. Maybe I am spoiled from my tours during COVID.

Average pension for Swiss male is about 50000 CHF/year. Well over 4000 CHF/month. Exchange rate about 40. Expect more Swiss on Phuket or Samui????

Quite a number. Swiss pioneering Pattaya in the early years with restaurants and some bars (Soi Diamond, Soi 7 area). With the extremely overrated Swiss Franc and the average pension Swiss have a good standard here. Might drive tears to some British pensioners in comparison.

Absolutely. More like a tourist assistance. Nothing targeted to expats.

Occasionally you read about some celebrity staying in a high end resort in Phuket or renting villas. All in the upper 5 digit Thai Baht per day.

Some years ago a guy photo-shopped his Thai pink ID card to proof his argument. Too bad he didn't know that there is checksum which didn't match in his photo-shop If only it was that easy with all the squabblers.

Towards Khon Kaen and Udon Thani there are road blocks on an arbitrary basis. They have laser speed checking devices before the checkpoints. So besides the usual tax/overloaded trucks they make good money from speed violations. 1000 Baht is the minimum fine now. But as most checkpoints are at fixed locations the experienced locals aren't bothered.
