Been online reporting last 5 years with none or little issue. Renewed my yearly parental extension August. Went to do first online report November and was rejected immediately saying report to IO. Went to IO and did it at the counter no problems...I been since told if you don't renew your 90 days at the same time (just after) you renew your yearly extension, you are automatically directed to do your first 90 day renewal in person. After that online app should be ok So....my report date is 18 February. I did an online application yesterday (5th February) and it was rejected later that day, Came back "application invalid". I double checked all my info...passport number, stay until date, last entry etc and was correct. I actually have how I fill in my address in all the fields on my computer and have done it the same last 5 years. I figured maybe I was just outside the 14 day before date. (you can report online within 14 days of report date still right?) So I double checked everything again this morning and re submitted it. Same deal this afternoon...Information not valid. My online application status / ability must be ok active. After my last renewal it wouldn't even let me lodge the 90 days form. When I clicked ok at the end of entering the info the system message was report to IO immediately. Wouldn't even let me lodge it. Anyone have any ideas or had similar issues lately? Would rather avoid the 40km round trip to Immigration for something I normally do online in a few minutes.

Still haven't pulled the trigger yet. Been watching for one to come up locally used so at least I can go and see it. So many scammers now on Facebook marketplace and even Lazada. The mini 2 definitely seems to be the one to get however the Neo is super interesting and can do a ton of stuff (I know you don't like them) and me like you, not really interested in vlogging etc and that is the Neo's primary purpose, but man its a smart little thing. I did get a little mini drone (non camera) and have a ton of fun with that. Easy to see though how even a tiny bit of wind can effect a smaller low power drone. With the mini 2's being under 250 grams and most countries appear to be able to use them without registering due to small size, Is that the case in Thailand or all drones need to be registered?

That's exactly what I found. Was all over the shop....the cost of deliveries seem to go up prohibitively where often the delivery was 3 x more expensive than the item. I thought maybe because of new sales tax laws they were talking about for Chinese imported goods. Lazada / Shopee never seemed to change? I did order a 300 baht item the other day and the price at checkout was as advertised and the delivery charge was minimal. I believe the law used to be items over 1000 baht were taxable / customs duty but saying that I was never charged it or held up in customs for extra charges. See what happens

Thanks bro. These Presta valves....do you need a special bike pump? My car electric pump wont put much more than 60PSI in my Dunlop valve tube

Just recently got a bicycle just for a bit of fun with the kids. Like a mountain bike hybrid thing with very thin road tires....Not even sure of the size of the bike but tyres are marked 700 x 28c / 28-622 Do those measurements just denote the tire size and the tube size may come in a few options or that indicates exactly the tube I need? Just went to go out before and noticed the front tire has gone down a bit. I think its the old style dunlop valve where you unscrew the ring and you can pull the valve out / replace it. The ring was a little loose so maybe that's why some air came out. A few questions.... I used an adapter and my electric car tire pump and found I couldn't get the pressure much past 60....I think it should be closer to 100. It was ride-able but needed a tad more. Its a decent electric pump. Do they not have enough grunt to overcome the valve over 50-60? In any case I want to get a new tube and would prefer the Shrader / car type valve, simply because they are more common. I see most of these size tubes seem to have the Presta valves. Are these skinny tubes available with Shrader valves or only Presta? I see also when buying these tubes some have optional measurements of 40 / 48 / 60 / 80mm as well. Whats that about? Is that the length of the valve and why would that be important? Can anyone recommend a decent brand of tube. I'm not doing the Tour de France....so don't want a 1000 baht tube. Just something mid range better and more reliable than a 40 baht Lazada Hong Dong China special By the way I am a pretty big guy over 110kg....is this size wheel too thin for me or should be ok? When I first bought the bike the tires were hard as a rock and felt ok. The guy actually said the rims would take fatter tires if I preferred them. Its only for general road riding, relaxation not racing. What would be the max size (width) tire I could go to? Sorry for the dumb questions...clearly don't have a clue. Would appreciate someone taking the time to help or any advice 🙂

I used to buy a lot of stuff off Ali express up until a couple of years ago. They seemed to change, delivery prices were silly so I gave them away. Products always been hit and miss I know but were ok if you were careful. I was looking for something this morning and all seems ok again. Anyone still using them?

I'm an Australian...money I bring in is from my Australian super anuation which has already been taxed 15% in Australia. Have a mate also wondering if his pension payments from Australia taxable. Back months ago I think there was talk that Australia had some sort of reciprocal tax agreement with non liablity for tax on earnings outside of Thailand and also talk of money brought into Thailand was non taxable if tax paid in your own country.

I think the point is, not about she was enjoying herself or any of her actions...I'd be the first to defend her....it's the typical blameless and shameless woman's bullsht of turning something shtty she did into not only completely none of her doing but a chance to garner sympathy and pity for herself into the bargain. Drama, theatrics, showboating, sympathy and blame everyone else. The perpetrator becomes the victim. At least a bloke would own it and shut up. I can't stand any of it.

I see you mention difficult to crash with GPS....not really sure what you mean? How does GPS reduce crashes if for eg I accidentally fly into a tree or such? Also asked before you might of missed it....these mini drones under 250 grams do you still need to register them in Thailand? Going to check out the FImi drones. Do you think they are as easy to fly for a beginner as the DJI mini's? Many thanks for all your help

Looking at buying used though it would have to be bullet proof legit or in my area to buy used or off FB marketplace atm. More scammers than legitimate sellers lately. I don't want a crappy one and can't justify the price of a new one for what will effectively be a toy that could be crashed / lost in a second of stupidity.

Probably one for Khun LA....I have done a bit of research and the DJI mavic mini might be suitable for me. Looks like being under 250 grams no need to register also 🙂 Seems like it is easy to fly, decent specs and camera. Only thing it doesn't have are collision sensors. Not sure if these are a deal breaker or not? provided you fly in fairly open spaces. Do you know of this model? What are your thoughts big Khun? 🙂

The little green one doesn have a camera right? And no live view on phone etc? Just a flying practice model? Looks awesome. I wonder if it has to be registered etc? Can you tell me the approx fling time and range?

Hi all, living in Khon Kaen city area. Does anyone know if Thai post EMS deliver on Sundays? They seemed to have dropped the ball the last year deliveries taking much longer. Was quite normal to get stuff overnight from Bangkok, now 3-4 days. I remember being quite surprised at deliveries right through Songkrahn / New years. Does anyone know if they deliver EMS on Sundays...I know the Post offices themselves are closed. Nothing on their website about deliveries and mixed results from Google searches some say yes, some say no. Anyone received anything lately on a Sunday?

Move along pest

I see the occasional used Landcruiser and Prado pop up for sale, sometimes at a very low price for 2010-2015 model. Generally never see them much unless they are Laos registered vehicles. I was wondering if its because there is some legal restriction or huge yearly / transfer tax on these sort of vehicles? I ma guessing they are imports...Last one I saw was a 3 liter Diesel Prado. Can anyone shed any light on this?
