Medical certificate is for 30 days.

Cost me a 100 Baht. Quite a farce.

The real important facts are self qualified by signature (epilepsy e.g.).

It's 3 years now from the thread start.

And KTB has taken the same lazy approach as SCB and cancelled internet banking through the website. Mobile app only!

How fast does one drive in a rest area ?

Indeed a good question.

The accident did not happen on the motorway as such.

How crazy must one drive in a rest area to kill his passengers?

Anything else? From above needed. 

I suggest you do that e-Learning procedure at home and get a QR code.

Can save you sitting at the office and watch some video there.

Quite boring and some very simple questions.

I have just done that in preparation for my 5yr/5yr extension next week.

Self taken pictures.

Superstar "mai thai". Picture before concert started.

These boys took care:

Not true, they normally search bags and pat down for booze, but sometimes its a sponsored event by beer companies where they are selling beer inside

What is not true? My observations?

They are years ago and I had no urge to check again.

Good for you that the events you see have such a good security.

These "morlam" events are full of trouble due to brainless drunkards. Extra protection is needed. It's ages that I came near such event.

One was in our village at the school yard. Guys with pump guns taking care for security.

The other one was a "superstar" event with huge crowds.

Military police taking care.

A cheap camera "holder" is any plain chair/table/shelf. Camera placed so that lenses are just over the edge looking down.

Freehand will hardly give satisfying results.

Even "good" webcams often have only 1080p (1080 pixel) resolution on the long side.

My fairly average Android phone has 4624p. And that is just good enough under ideal conditions. Camera holder, exact alignment. Good light. Paper/document lying plane.

Screenshot from Lazada. But should be available at shops in town.

Thanks!

I have a spec at last!

I assume you get ch7 in CM?

 

If you live close to the city I am sure you will have DVB-T2 signal. That's the successor of analogue TV signal. Introduced since years and analogue switched off.

What johng shows is the right thing.

But you might be successful with smaller/simpler antenna.

Then you additionally need a cheap set-top box.

So for example, if the due date is May 23, can I go on March 25? 

No. You could try for an exception (at a superior) if you have travel plans (with some documents).

Game of luck.

I navigated through to single Non-O visa.

Fee 120 AUD.

About 78 USD.

TR 60days is 60 AUD.

Reasonable.

Maybe BBC doesn't like me.

BBC is a hard nut to crack. They seem to use sophisticated methods for VPN detection.

(I tried it quite a while ago out of curiosity)

I am using NordVPN since long. Expires in June and I will extend with the additional option of a dedicated IP address. Should make detection more difficult.

The mentally ill should see a psychiatrist and not seek Pattaya for healing.

Finnish people considered happiest of the world. He is an exception to the rule.

I am not into US politics but recently saw a video clip showing his critical mental and physical state.

Find a way to avoid sliding into gerontocracy, rule of the senile.

You don't give them your passport.

Deposit size is fairly universal, i asked a few.

 

Deposit for small scooter 1000 Baht.

Passport is copied and given back.

Contract signed and stowed under the seat.

The exchange rate is the problem. Wise would give a much better rate.

Exactly. SWIFT sending would mean that in the end the Thai bank will do the exchange with their current rates. And they are significantly worse.

Example:

WISE EUR rate now about 39, Bangkok Bank TT rate 38.5 (!).

1.28% less, is around 25000 Baht in a 2 million Baht transaction.

I CONVERTED GBP 1000 to THB within Wise and it cost 5.47. Then transferred THB to Bangkok bank cost THB 31.7 = GBP 0.70. Total fees = GBP 6.17

0.617 %, better than for EUR.
