After the link to the article has been fixed things look better 😊

It's gone and I have 11 pages of notifications now. Not that it costs me a cent but is there any impact on performance (open notifications)?

Would make the story more credible if there was any link to a trip report. At these times of war it must be even more difficult to do such a trip.

The Thaiger link leads to Soi Buakhao one way 😊

It's bad enough that these toys with no license/insurance whatever are driven in the village by kids. Easy doing 40 km/h or so. But turning in to an open highway is a death wish. Fortunately not seen yet in our area. Only in the lawless zone called village.

Agree. Solar energy adding to the general mix is OK. Plenty of solar farms in the country, one 60 MW not far from us. But why add expensive decentralized solar installation in a fully developed area? Such things make sense in remote places where a new electrical installation would cost more. Here we have that out in the farm land for water pumps and the like.

Where can I find the price? Tried hard.

What nationality? Where does he live? Asking because income letter might be obtained by some (honorary) consulates on a personal visit same day.

Would be good news. Don't need another drought year like 2014. Difficult to bear. The test here will be around NYE and first half of January when the coldest night temperatures appear. In a neighboring province it easily goes down to single digit Celsius (< 50 F).

Stupid comment of the day. A housing village in Pattaya is safe then, not in the sticks? How many foreigners have been killed in hot spot areas? Done to death with a machete, baseball bat, iron rod... I live in the sticks with the family and NOT in a housing village cramped with strangers. Zero tensions with the neighbors.

Yep, who believes that an Amazon business wouldn't do a cash audit at the end of the shift?

One granddaughter went to a college for two years. Some kind of commercial education. I once browsed through the hundreds of pages of printed material she got. Unbelievable amount of detailed stuff remote from life. Never ever would a college student master such huge amount of material.

They want sheep who silently endure their fate and don't make trouble. Adequate educations is available to the upper class and those who have sponsors for the better schools. From the linked article: 1%! from top schools. The village school is down the road. First hour in the morning is flag call and singing anthems. A poor victim (student) has to "sing" however bad the voice is. After that a lenghty speech from a teacher/rector. Two long holiday periods (6? weeks each) plus the maximum amount of public holidays. Lots of boy/girls scout stuff, endless drill for parades, sport festival. Sport field is dusty and bumpy. Nets for volleyball are torn apart most of the year. Just some impressions. I never looked into the classrooms. Hardly a teacher whom you could have an everyday conversation in English. Students average English: good morning (in the afternoon), what's your name... Thats it. Payment for teachers start at ? 15k?

Quite strange. "card without chip" would make sense. These were cancelled. Free exchange was offered. But hasn't that been finished years ago?? How old is your card? Expiry date? Any damages on the card or chip? Might be a singular case that the ATM could not read the chip? Haven't used my card for a while. If withdrawing from SCB I use cardless withdrawal. But really this would make a big wave if "card with chips" wouldn't work anymore.

Legally, waiting for an approval is not an overstay. (I am sure that ubonjoe had stated that in a similar case) On the other hand when I waited for an approval of a Non O >visa< in KK I had some paper with the date. I went early and it was ready

Not worth more than a laughter. The yearly clown show Well described in post above.

Obvious. It's the hospital that refused the Taiwanese tourist for emergency treatment (victim of a hit and run nearby). He died later after being carted to a public hospital 10 km away. While the name was withheld in the respecting thread here it is all over in Thai language sources.

You can buy and then register as I appended. I bought my internet SIM online and after receiving did register online. But thanks for contribution.

You might need to register the SIM to your name though. Best at provider shop with passport.

Test SIMs? You can get a prepaid SIM for each provider (AIS, DTAC, True) for little money like 100 Baht or so at about every mobile phone booth or shop. With them you can first test the signal strength at your location(s). After that you can check with the provider for a one day package with max or some high speed. Then do speed tests. Not sure whether I got your question right.

From the web (correct or not): Tor Tor 3 is an outdated name for what is today referred to as an FET (foreign exchange transaction form) which is a necessary document for the land office. Kind of strange that your lawyer uses tt3.

Can't find where she started. When I need a taxi from airport to Pattaya I use old fashioned prebooking. 1000 incl toll. No discussion. No hassle. No bad mood. Usually give a 100 tip. For me it looks like these app based hailing services are overrated here. Once had one from Phuket airport and also on the way back. Spare details but both troublesome experiences.

Schedule says 16:25 as a terribly long night.

Diverting from Dhaka to Bangkok and running into fuel shortage? Is much closer Calcutta enemy territory, no fly zone?

In a doubtful move the government decided to lower the price of 91 with tax reduction or the like. I have no idea what sense this makes. Years ago they announced that 91 will be abolished (like it is in most or all of Europe). A populist move to get good headlines about lowering fuel price. They seem to have no idea what logistics cost is.
