What do they call "Standing Order"
I don't know about other banks, but with Kasikorn the standing order can only be set up for one year ahead and then has to be renewed. I transfer money to my wife on the 1st of every month by standing order. Once the December payment has been made I set up a new one for the year ahead. -

Modifying a PCX, placing two wheels on the back, tricycle style?
us Its not BS at all. The DLT don't inspect vehicles, a private company working for them does. If the vehicle passes its test, a certificate is given which you then take into the DLT office and tax your vehicle for the next year. Grease the right palms to the right extent and you can get just about anything through. Aftermarket pipes are illegal in Thailand - how do you think all the bikes with them on get through the test each year? No they don't take them off and refit the original for the test. Plenty of my mates get their bikes through every year. I've even seen a guy produce a VIN number on a piece of metal with a VIN stamped on it for the masking tape pencil rubbing that's required. T.I.T. or didn't you realise? -

A Poll - Do you like the Down-Thumb emoji?
And weak It says more about the button mashers, than it does about the post that they respond to. -

If you found 12 million baht in a box near the trash, would you keep it?
I strongly reject that insinuation. If I found how ever much money that wasn't mine I couldn't keep it with a clear conscience. I was surprised to see so many comments suggesting they'd keep the money; though I hope in reality that wouldn't be so. -

Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Voyage Sparks Controversy After Senator’s Mocking Remark
Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard has criticized Greta Thunberg for her social media plea for her friends and supporters to put pressure on the Swedish government to win her release from Israeli custody. According to the Foreign Minister, the video plea resulted in hundreds of people calling the hotline number the Foreign Ministry uses for Swedes in distress while abroad. "This means that there is currently, as a result of this campaign, a very long waiting time that seriously risks affecting Swedes all over the world who need immediate consular assistance, says Malmer Stenergard to journalists." The Foreign Minister describes the action as irresponsible and "very, very serious." "It is obvious that people have been encouraged to contact the Foreign Ministry in a way that risks affecting other Swedish citizens who are actually in distress. Then I think people should think about what responsibility they themselves have in that." https://swedenherald.com/article/swedish-foreign-ministry-monitors-greta-thunbergs-situation-in-gaza When speaking before the Swedish Parliament, Malmer Stenergard said the Foreign Ministry and Swedish embassy in Tel Aviv are monitoring the situation. "Our assessment at present is that no one on board is in danger and that they therefore do not have any need for consular assistance at present." The Foreign Ministry said separately that should Thunberg request consular aid, she would be given it like any other Swedish citizen. Malmer Stenergard emphasized Thunberg and the other activists have a "clear personal responsibility." "The crew and passengers on Madleen are aware of the risks of this campaign, the Foreign Ministry has advised against traveling to Gaza for ten years and they have a clear personal responsibility if they disregard an advisory, which I have also been very clear about in many different contexts, she says in the parliamentary chamber." https://swedenherald.com/article/swedish-foreign-ministry-monitors-greta-thunbergs-situation-in-gaza -

Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
So... You wont need to 'plan' the arrival... TDAC is simple... (just fill out within 3 days of arrival)... Visa on arrival is the same (ensure you have a return ticket or onward travel and meet cash requirements - just in case). Once you have travelled in and out a couple of times (Visa exempt or on a Tourist Visa) you may need to look at a longer term plan / options to ensure you don't raise the eyebrows of the Immigration officers on further trips... (i.e. if retired and over 50, plan on staying here a long time... season 800,000 baht in a Thai account and apply for a Non-Imm O visa based on retirement etc... and ensuing extensions).
