It was very annoying as you had to estimate how many trips you expected to make in the year and pay for that number of re-entries.  If you underestimated you had to go back to Immigration and buy more re-entries, as I had to once.  If you overestimated, you wasted the money.  Very annoying if you had to travel a lot.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:33:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>90 day in person</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397713-90-day-in-person/?do=findComment&comment=20659314]]></link><description>There's never any harm in trying online first.  There have been lots of reports of people being approved when they knowingly should have been rejected.  And since the reporting window starts at 15 days before the due date, and you can still go in person up until 7 days after the due date without any penalty, it's probably best practice to try online right as the window opens.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:32:52 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Electric Vehicles in Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20659310]]></link><description>Whatever the reason CarScannerPro states the profile file will only work with the "EU" version of the SL7 and only before the 2024.10 update.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.4f75ebea05c65c683e271a9bcda1eb7e.png" length="103642" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:31:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why are British Pensioners so despised</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395484-why-are-british-pensioners-so-despised/?do=findComment&comment=20659304]]></link><description>I meant generally speaking not you personally.

Technically you are supposed to switch  your tabian baan to your new address and change in in your alien book.  But this is impossible because the apartment owner will not put you on the building's tabian baan which has probably never been activated and has no house master.  So just let sleeping dogs lie and be like probably half the Thai population and have a tabian baan that doesn't reflect where you ually live.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:28:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>China Southern Airlines.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398026-china-southern-airlines/?do=findComment&comment=20659298]]></link><description>Read between the lines.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:24:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Electric Vehicles in Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20659295]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not sure if it is due to encrypted data.

He went back with a Thai lawyer who insisted that they accept his application since there is no requirement to be working yourself, if your Thai spouse has the 30k income in her own name.  They apparently accepted the application with extremely ill grace but the poster never posted again.  So we never found out what happened to his application.  Unfortunately since PR is up to the discretion of the minister, they don't need to give the real reasons for rejections.  Other people about the same time were also told by CW not to apply under the humanitarian category, unless they had the 30k in their own name with WP.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:20:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Electric Vehicles in Thailand</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/?do=findComment&comment=20659282]]></link><description><![CDATA[For Thailand BYD Atto 3 owners OTA version 1.11.1 is available. I got the notification today/8 July 2026 and did the OTA download/install without any problem....total time to download/install was approx 45 minutes (the great majority of that time was the install time). My previous version was 1.10.1 which installed 30 Jun 2025. So, about a year between OTAs. A few pictures right after the successful install are shown below.  After the OTA install there was then some language pack updates for English and Thai languages which I downloaded/installed without issue. Also updated the E-Manual.  And I checked to ensure I could still read OBD2 data with my OBD2 dongle/CarScanner app and I could.  And now after the update when doing a software version Check instead of waiting &amp; waiting usually after multiple tries for a response to see if you have the latest OTA version installed it now shows the version you have installed before doing the Check and while doing the check the version number is temporarily replaced with a 0 to 100% count-up process which takes about 90 seconds to complete to confirm whether you have the latest version or not. That's an improvement over the old way of clicking the Check icon over &amp; over, many times until you finally got a response.]]></description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.a40bc0d41924a7601183edf9f785d2ea.png" length="1016824" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:13:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cloud Storage Using USB Drive Connected to AIS ZTE Router - HOW?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398043-cloud-storage-using-usb-drive-connected-to-ais-zte-router-how/?do=findComment&comment=20659277]]></link><description>Correct.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:10:27 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cloud Storage Using USB Drive Connected to AIS ZTE Router - HOW?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398043-cloud-storage-using-usb-drive-connected-to-ais-zte-router-how/?do=findComment&comment=20659276]]></link><description>No.    A VPN back to your own router does not offer browsing privacy because your own IP address will be used.  It does offer security, for example, accessing your online banking from a cafe.  Also good to get around geo-blocking, if the router is based in a country where various websites you need are geo-blocked.</description><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:09:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>How much do you pay your girlfriend/wife</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398206-how-much-do-you-pay-your-girlfriendwife/?do=findComment&comment=20659274]]></link><description>In the West it would be seen much more as a family income.

You VPN back to your own router from anywhere in the world.  You enter the router's UI.  From there, navigate to the storage device.
