  1. Years ago I was at the revenue department and applied for return of witholding tax. It was approved and I obviously was registered and should have a TIN? The only document I can find is a "K.21" (ค.21) from 2016. Can someone confirm that the (pixelated) number (10 digits) appearing twice is the TIN? (not sure from translation results). I am interested as there is a chance that my German bank would ask for (happens from Swiss banks regularly).
  2. Guess they won't have much time for party. Likely participating in that salvage operation for the sunken Thai Navy ship. (that's the only current news about US navy and Thailand) https://aseannow.com/topic/1320541-thai-us-mission-launched-to-find-remains-of-missing-htms-sukhothai-crew/
  3. I blew up two of these sensor switches Smells bad.
  4. Yes. Can be delayed by the federal council but not be impeded. And the warnings are loud and many fold. 25 grams of cannabis allowed to carry in public. Street dealers dream.
  5. Exactly that and I have it from talking to some agent in Pattaya (some 2 or 3 years ago). Bangkok Bank otherwise "complicated". So this for those who use an agent with "shady" methods. A sentence from the agent to a customer that I remember: all I need is your passport and the money. "The money" being the 25k Baht for his special service.
  6. Oh those test engineers. Tests are a significant cause of disaster (see Chernobyl). My last job: <deleted> Soo inconvenient.
  7. And showing the many alternatives around Pattaya. Home Pro at BigC Extra is convenient and probably serves similar interests. And if that is not enough, just follow the road passing BigC Extra parking entrance and get to the back entrance of the really big HomePro on Sukhumvit (without ever driving on Sukhumvit).
  8. Checked their website and found nothing in the Pattaya area. One location halfway to Bangkok.
  9. Impossible to think that such details of a deceased's apartment are shown to public in western countries (medication [tranquilizer], many notes in English(!), a brochure in Russian [maybe multi language], walking stick, false teeth...).
  10. Many empty bottles that you can call opened to cause some confusion.
  11. Until you get an official answer, let me guess: it's the email address. Generally unwanted. Hiding it (not clickable) like callcenter(at)ais.co.th might work.
  12. Are police that "nice" because she is Chinese? Handcuff and off to the padded cell. Just think what would have happened elsewhere. Some nice loads from the taser.
  13. Khon Kaen immigration told me that I should show some proof of income source (pension statement) in addition to one year of bank statements with the monthly transfers. I will probably prepare a big staple of paper incl bank statements from home country and WISE transfer receipts.
  14. At Kasikorn a full detailed messaging about every transaction cost 20 Baht/month extra. Bangkok Bank sends a message if the debit card is used online (don't know whether there is a minimum amount). Yearly fee is 300 Baht for the account and card. To me the headline is simply misleading/wrong conclusion. Not the app does anything but debit cardholders data was leaked. Can be a fraudulent online shop or simply a (foto)copy of the card incl. the three digit verification number, First things when I get a new card: store all data from the card locally on my PC incl. a photo of both sides. Then scratch off the three digit number. Rarely use the physical card at all. Cash withdrawal cardless. Never let stores save the debit card details (untick the option in case). Always enter data from scratch.
  15. There is quite a mix of side effects and overdose in the thread. Blurred vision, headache, heartburn are quite frequent side effects even on normal dosage of Viagra. And that is described in the leaflet ("after four hours...").
  16. Likely the reason. Some wind map says 9 to 10 kts from the south (gulf). Just a proof that the bad air is "homemade" and not blown in. Millions of jammed/clogged cars, Diesel preference via tax/fuel substitute. Diesel exhaust levels forbidden in the west since decades. What do you expect?
  17. Read that Thailand has been downgraded on some democracy index. Not surprising when the main opposition is kicked out for flimsy reasons.
  18. You would be on the safe side with an IDP based on your Thai driving license (5 year regular one). Australia seems to acknowledge the one year IDP (1949 convention) only. This was the rule in Thailand for decades, so no problem. You go to your nearest DLT and ask about a one year IDP. DLT: Departement of Land Traffic ("traffic office"/"motor office"). Which region are you living? There is a very recent thread about the IDP: https://aseannow.com/topic/1319103-international-driving-license-for-thai-local-licence/#comment-18674767 Before the nitpickers wake up: it's an "International Driving Permit" (IDP) not "license". License from issuing country (in your case Thailand) has to be shown together.
  19. Completely normal for WiFi(?) connection. Router as well as notebook likely not on latest high end WiFi6?
  20. Intermittently cutting in and out? Download rates of 200 or more do not pose a problem for watching streams/videos. Messengers, website browsing even less bandwidth needed. So I doubt it's a band-width/rate problem. I miss a concrete description of what kind of problem you have? Frozen/buffering video streams? Could you provide an example (if generally accessible)?\ Which internet radio channel? (link) Internet radio has very little bandwidth requirements and still it can make problems. I had similar experiences in the past (with 3BB). Had used radio stream via a website, after using a dedicated app for the radio channel no more problems. There are other quality parameters for an internet connection than pure up/down rates.
  21. "Near" is relative. Dotted line is Takhian Tia subdistrict. 21 km straight line from the beach.
  22. Google translation from a Thai source (topnews.co.th): The incident occurred on Road 331, inbound to Sattahip, Village No. 5, Takhian Tia Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District. Chonburi Province I borrowed a much better view of the incident and marked the desired U-turn. Now think what an adventure it is to cross over with such a creeping vehicle. Right lane allowed speed 90 km/h.
  23. It's not precise but plausible. 331 direction south to Sattahip. "Near" Pattaya: 331 is about 16 km direct line from Pattaya beach but of course much closer to the "darkside". The spot seems to be three lanes of concrete, same like near rd 3240 which leads to the darkside. Drove there last July first time after many years and was "shocked" what has become of the "rural" two lane road of the past. It was a wide terrible junk of concrete with lots of construction still going on (wide as a motorway). I missed the "rathole" underpass over to 3240. Very unpleasant driving and not a good path for a "rag and bone man" with his saleng. I am split in judging about these vehicles. Sure they should not be on such roads (I hate it). On the other hand for the poor it's an affordable way to make some money to survive.
