  1. Yes, I do plan to have dealing with immigration, as I own a condo in Bangkok, and on one of my trips I will arrive Visa exempt but I will need to get an extension.
  2. I did my TM30 reporting online more than 7 days ago and it was successful. I tried to check so I can print it out but it will only allow me to go back 7 days from current date. I can a get a copy of my TM 30?
  3. I once took a taxi from Sukhumivt Soi 11 to 22 and the first taxi said no meter, so I took the taxi right behind him and followed him all the way to Soi 22 with nobody in his taxi.
  4. I found that hard to believe as my Thai wife and I were married in Canada 17 years ago 2006, and I got a one year multi Non O Visa from the Thai consulate in Vancouver as I was traveling back and forth for the first 4 years, then when I moved permanently to Thailand in 2010, I applied and received an Non O extension. The Process I had to do in Thailand was to go to the Canadian Embassy, get a statement that I am able to be married, went to MFA and got our Marriage License translated to Thai, the went to our local Amphur (Thong Lo) and registered our marriage, then I had no problem getting a Non O based on marriage extension.
  5. Check out bkkpool.com. There are several pool halls that have pool, and darts. There is also the Bangkok Pool League.

    Bagels

    I like BKK Bagel Bakery, they are good and your go order ahead of time. https://www.facebook.com/BKKbagels/ http://www.bkkbagels.com They have two locations Chidlom and Suk Soi 33
  7. You might have Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) checked, as some router/wifi routers doesn't like using that, I know that one of mine Wifi/router doesn't like it. Sometimes when you do a Windows 10 software update it will check the box. Go in Control Panel click on Network and sharing Center then on the top left corner click on change adapter settings, then right click on the connection you are using and chose properties, then scroll down to where it says Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and see if it's uncheck, then give it a try.
  8. This is the actually form that I fill out, and the Canadian Embassy types it out. income Verification.pdf
  9. This is the letter I get from the Canadian Embassy every year, they actually write it, and immigration has no problem with it.
  10. What Canada will do is put a stamp into your new passport stating that this is replacing your old passport.
  11. Does anyone knows of a medical clinic near the DLT at Sukhumvit Soi 99 (Bang Chak BTS), as that is close and easiest office to go to.
  12. If you are leaving on the 20th, 5 days after your report date, you will be fine, as you are allowed to report 15 days before and upto 7 days after. That happen to me once, my 90 day was due on a certain day, but I was leaving in 6 days so I didn't bother doing a report, and I haven't had a problem since then.
  13. I had no problem last December bringing in meats. I also brought in cheese and butter with no problems.
  14. I just like to know if departing business class passenger can still use Fast track departing Suvarnbhumi, as of March 5th I could . I am asking as I entered into Thailand from the Philippines 13 days ago March 12 with a business class ticket, and when I tried to enter the Fast track the lady wouldn't let me, stating that they have now changed it so Fast Track isn't available to Business class passengers. I told her that the signs says differently, she informed that they have just changed the policy, fortunately I have an APEC card. I have just called EVA Airlines, and they informed that it still applies to Business class tickets. Any updates would be appreciated.
  15. If in Bangkok go to SouthEast Pharmacy, on Sukhumvit between Soi 15 and 13, more towards Soi 15 end, as they are quite a big pharmacy and will probably carry what you need, as I takePerindopril/Coversly and they carry that.
  16. I still have my mobile from Canada, I have unlimited Canada wide minutes and free international SMS and I have Wifi calling enable and set in airplane mode, and it works as if I was back in Canada, and uses my existing mobile plan, people I talk to don't realize that I am half way around the world as the voice quality is the same as if I was back in Canad. Last month I used around 1,000 minutes and wasn't charged any extra, and I am able to receive OTP from my banks in Canada. I would check with Mint mobile offer Wifi calling. Check out these 2 links from Mint Mobile. https://www.mintmobile.com/features/wifi-calling-text/ https://www.mintmobile.com/help/what-is-wifi-calling-how-do-i-enable-it/
  17. Currently I have a non-o extension, based on retirement. I am planning a trip out of Thailand and be back April 22. I would have to do a 90 day report by July 20th, but would anything happen if I didn't do a report at airport immigration if I leave Thailand around July 27th (7-10 days after the report date. I know you can report 5 days after date) and not return in about 18 months and by that time my extension would have expired and I would just enter under visa waiver, I am Canadian, as I am only go to stay no more than 30 days for each trip in the future.
  18. I use to get the newsletter, but I haven't been receiving any since before Christmas.
  19. If you are using MEA (Metropolitan Electric Authority), then you can download their app and pay using the app. You can even use foreign issue credit cards. I do believe they will charge you up to 5 Baht service charge. This is what I do, and I have set a reminder in my calendar to remind me to pay for it every month.
  20. Actually Airbnb's are illegal here in Thailand, as we have problems with them in our Condo building. That's probably why there owners don't do TM30's
  21. Most of the bars from Soi 22 have relocated to Soi 7 just before Beer Garden. Also Soi Cowboy is dead, I was there about 7 weeks ago and it's dead as 1/4 of the bars are still closed. Nana Plaza is the place to go to.
  22. I did my online report more than 24 hours ago, and still waiting to see if it gets approved. I did receive an email that I they received my information successfully. I will wait awhile longer.
  23. Does that also apply to when you do a new extension?
