  1. Of course it has to be kept as a secret. I call it a Miracle on 3rd rd that the guy could escape from his suite
  2. Heavily misplaced thread and confusing. Why would Schengen rules care about visas for other countries? Or did I miss something? Why not simply state what your nationality is?
  3. If the forecast is correct it would just touch north/northeast with it's peripheral.
  4. October has always been one of the two rainiest months. No catastrophic change. November is a game of luck. The total rainfall so far is below normal for most areas. But also not a terrible drought like years before.
  5. No. The original article is in Thai with the details. The video has been uploaded 12 hours ago from now. And with the hordes of tabloids/reporters in Pattaya this would not have gone unnoticed in August.
  6. Many cheaper dash cams need manual setup of time/date. Often forgotten.
  7. Yes, even on the best road in broad light there is always at least one unpredictable idiot around.
  8. Saturday, Sunday, late night. All happened. Guess some officers working shifts kill time.
  9. Astronomy is all "pure science" without any practical implications. Voyager1 travels for 46 years now and has reached a distance less than one light day (24 billion km; 15 billion mi). It will exhaust it's last bit of energy in two years or so. It's expected to travel 40000 years until passing another star which is 17.1 lights years from earth at a distance of 1.6 light years. And they are writing about primitive life 125 light years away. Until super warp is invented it's all a nice past time.
  10. Air Chief Marshal Alongkorn Wannarot retires. Served one year. Do you see the scheme? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alongkorn_Wannarot
  11. Might be: seems some Air Marshal retires. New head from Oct 1. "FINAL FLYING". Some farewell show?
  12. Picture of bankbook main page. Don't rely on text messages or number given via audio/phone.
  13. Very helpful feedback. Good for you.
  14. Seems you don't have too much experience with online banking here? For domestic transfers I will see name and account number before confirming. And then it's credited in an instant. Invalid account number will result in an error message. In SEPA (Europe) one wrong digit and the money is gone. No name matching at all. The endless IBAN starts with a two character country code. Good luck if you sent money to "BG....................". Bulgaria. Won't be seen again. Popular destination for scammers.
  15. Lazada has quite a choice of instant decaf. But as I have zero knowledge about prices I can't tell what is cheap. The local "Moccona Blue" was OK as a grounded coffee until it vanished from the shelves. Moccona Instant decaf 100gr 299 B.
  16. I am happy with Hillkoff whole beans (Arabica, French roast). 260 B for 500 gr. In former times I bough Casino brand (BigC) grounded. Has about doubled over the years. Decaff seems an extra expensive thing here. More exotic than all the rest?
  17. Yes, there is no automatic return. You have to actively enquire.
  18. And the transfer was immediate? No more cancel option available at WISE? Hope for the best that the account number does not exist. In this case the money is stuck at some bank in Thailand and can be refunded. Expect a significant loss for fess and exchanges rates back etc. Can tell for the other case (number exists). But WISE website writes about "wrong person" not wrong account number. So maybe there is a plausibility check? Some 20 years ago I had this with a SWIFT transfer of 2000 Euro, lost 200. Guess it will not be THAT bad with WISE. https://wise.com/help/articles/2448406/i-got-my-recipients-bank-details-wrong?origin=related-article-2978032 https://wise.com/help/articles/2932667/i-spelt-my-recipients-name-wrong?origin=related-article-2978032 https://wise.com/help/articles/2978032/i-sent-money-to-the-wrong-person
  19. Behind the steering wheel. Chan Tours operates as far as Nakhon Phanom. That's about 865 km (537 miles). More than 13:30 hours on an overland bus is my estimation. Route "827" is Nakhon Phanom to Rayong. If they go through Pattaya it adds more mileage. So going on road 331 makes perfect sense. Maybe up to 15 hour trip.
  20. Very likely. No break failure this time.
  21. Must have been overlooked. But yes the wording changed some years ago as it confused many. The "until" stands for the last day you can utilize the visa and get 60 days permission to stay as you describe.
  22. It's one of the most erroneous translations for what is colloquially known as a "Baht bus". "double-decker cooperative minibus" Technically in Thai it's a "song taeo", a two row/ bench minibus aka rebuild pickup. How the hell can such misleading translations make it to the news?? So it's nothing than the millionth pick pocketing Kathoey on a Baht bus.
  23. Can't be repeated often enough. 142 mm in a DAY!! What do you expect but disruption? Average YEARLY rainfall in eastern Germany about 500 mm.
  24. Deleted It was already proposed to upload to some video platform. I would stick to YouTube. 13 seconds should be like 5 MB in high quality.
