  1. For letters Germany's customs checkpoint is notoriously slow/overloaded. 6 days can happen. One speculation: parcels from Thailand now prone to even more stringent checks thanks to the wonderful cannabis liberalization? Sniffer dog needs a break.
  2. Played with a number of tracking sites. Found two vague results that are similar.
  3. Even ordinary registered mail is tracked in the destination country. You should try the tracking site of the destination country (UK?). If it shows up there it has passed customs checkpoint. The last update you show says "in transit at intermediate country", DOH for Doha, Qatar? Why do you think it has reached destination country?
  4. Mr. Krisana in a hurry like so many. Now he has time waiting for his next life. Hard to find proper words for such stupidity. In the end putting the value of his bike above his life.
  5. Is your friend a Thai person? Any friends/acquaintances having a pickup?
  6. Maintenance failure? Sabotage? Terror act? Better not think of technical failure.
  7. You didn't get my point. Why should a 6 month old be a problem why you can travel with a passport almost 10 years old.
  8. Photo in passport can be up to 10 years old. Just saying.
  9. Once brought same photo as year before to KK immigration. Officer smiled and asked for a new one next year.
  10. Crashed into a residential area. That will be terrific loss. Passengers on board: “Of these, 169 are Indian nationals, 53 are British nationals, 1 Canadian national and 7 Portuguese nationals,” Air India said."
  11. 2nd video about the range extender for keyless entry. Long known and still manufacturers can come through with this insecure stuff. All that just to save pushing a button on the fob. My new Toyota has this too. Fortunately there is a not too difficult trick to deactivate the key transmitter temporarily. For other models things like a metallic box for the fob recommended. How silly.
  12. Been reported in another threads/other offices. I am not affected. Yellow house book accepted here. Why? Maybe because it's free and immigration does not like free services.
  13. Lying bastard at the lorry wheel. Of course he tried to save the effort of preparing to stop. If he felt that there is a problem with the breaks why not honk and flash the lights? Being first at the green light is not a win in Thailand. You can't be cautious enough.
  14. Yes that's the first thing to try for laymen. Use all available options incl system stuff, win update stuff... (I don't have the exact wording at hand) Did you say how big the C drive is in total? Another simple thing: use Windows search to find huge files (> 1GB or so). Maybe you find some of your videos that can either be deleted or copied to D and then deleted on C. Videos and huge downloads are the #1 space eaters.
  15. 139 That was a fun night. After which you should take a taxi or Baht bus.
  16. Drones over Pattaya. Better keep your helmet on at any time. What a bombastic article. Just can't swallow it in total. Hunt overstayers with drones. Sounds feasible doesn't it? Do involved person's have shares in a drone distributor? They read too much and develop phantasies about the total control by the Chinese totalitarian regime. Zillions of cameras, face detection etc. etc.
  17. If only I had a list of fallen cranes in Thailand. That would be a long one. At least no deaths this time.
  18. If I knew who claims it now I would have kept it. Who is so corrupt to keep 12 million Baht in cash at home and forget it?
  19. Found this on the skyteam website. Skyteam a group of airlines. They provide information about documents required etc. Likely on TIMATIC which about all airlines use. So they should very well point to the necessity of TDAC. https://www.skyteam.com/en/flight-and-destinations/visa-and-health
  20. I haven't read through the thread so probably mentioned. No alcohol at gas stations (7/11 etc). I have car so how far to the next watering hole? In Germany gas station is the last resort if all else closed 🤣🤣
  21. A mate arrived on May 22nd via Dubai (Emirates) and told a similar story. The majority of travellers unprepared. Filling TDAC at some desks.
  22. So sure you need a proof of residence (res.cert.). Worst case: read that it can be complicated: DLT will give you a request letter. With that and only with that immigration will issue free of cost. Some unlucky guys have to wait weeks for it. Maybe an "express fee" might help. But really worst case depending on office.
  23. Also recommended or mandatory for foreigners: Online "training" at home. Watching some videos and answering simple questions. Results in a QR code. (I don't have the details at hand now). Many threads about it in the motor forum.
  24. Health certificate is always necessary. Local street side clinic. 100 to 200 Baht. A new proof of residence also assuming you have no other means (yellow house book or the like). Also depends on the individual office what they accept. Where do you go? You are on a long-term visa/stay (Non O?). Yes almost 6 years until your birthday on May 27.
