  1. When I last got one, I had the option of Thai or English, does anyone know if this option is still available.
  2. I prefer this guy - Didier Drogba Drogba's parting gift to Chelsea (2012).mp4
  3. I thought the online applications needed human approvals. I submitted my application on Sunday 11th at 22:30. I received the approval and new reporting date on Monday 12th at 2:35 am. Overtime at Chiang Mai ?
  4. I pay my PEA bill by Credit Card using Easybills. They charge 8 baht service fee. https://www.easybills.in.th Scroll down and click on Pay Your Bill Now. Scroll down and click on Provincial Electricity Authority. Enter your "Contract Acct" This can be found at the top of your electricity bill as "C/A Ref. No.1" When you hit the "Next" button the amount of the bill will be displayed, enter C/C details to pay. They send a receipt by e-mail. I've been paying this way for over a year now with no problems.
  5. Thanks for the reply but it's not a 90 day report, it's a TM30 change of address.
  6. I'm changing my permanent address soon. Is it possible for me to file my TM30 online?
  7. Thanks for all your replies, lots of good info there. We are looking in Pattaya area because we both enjoy our holidays there, and the biggest reason is that the wife wants to go there.
  8. Thanks for the reply. We've been to Pattaya several times since 1981, and have a good understanding of locations, and we have our own transport, so anywhere within 10km of the sea would be considered. However, knowing a place from holidays is totally different from living there. With inflation to think of, our basic starting ceiling would be around 20,000 per month (without add-ons for water & electricity). We are past the age for regular nightlife, but a stroll to a local bar or restaurant would be a bonus. We also don't rule out a 2 bedroom property, but we don't want a 2 storey house, we've had enough of climbing stairs.
  9. We are both in our 70's and have been living in our own 1 bedroom bungalow, 40Km from Chiang Mai for 30 years. We are forced to move from this house, and are considering a move to long stay rental accommodation in the Pattaya/Jomtien area. We would prefer a 1 bedroom bungalow, but would consider a 1 bedroom appartment. No need to be near the sea, but would appreciate at least a 7-11 nearby. Any recommendations of areas to consider and a guide to rental prices would be appreciated.
  10. I transfer from Barclays UK into my Bangkok Bank account once a year via online banking. Cost is 22 pounds per transfer, no charge at Bangkok Bank. Transfer is done in Sterling, with conversion to Baht using Bangkok Bank exchange rate. Within a minute after confirming the transfer, and before disconnecting from the online banking, I receive an SMS from Bangkok Bank stating the amount credited to my account. It's as good as instantaneous.
  11. The amount shown in the bank book is the net amount after the deduction of the charges. The SMS that is sent at the time of the transfer shows the gross amount, and the net amount. I was merely trying to say that the difference in exchange rates between direct transfer and transfer through Wise was negligible at the time of transfer. It is more convenient for me, but others may prefer to be in control of the timing.
  12. I have been getting my State Pension paid directly into my Bangkok Bank account every 4 weeks, for several years. Bangkok Bank charge 100 baht plus 0.1% of the amount and send me a free SMS notification. The latest payment arrived today with an exchange rate of 43.41 compared to Bangkok Bank's exchange rate at the time of 43.34
  13. Thanon Bumrung Buri is correct, south side of the moat near Pratuu Chang Mai market. I went there a few weeks ago, don't know if they do mobile phones, or not.
  14. I got a new debit card from Barclays in December. Simply go to an ATM in Thailand, and request a balance. It won't cost anything, and it will activate your card. Then you can use it for online banking.
  15. I transferred 10,000 pounds from Barclays in Jersey last Weds. Cost was 15 pounds, plus 10 Pounds to cover Thai bank cost (Thai bank would charge 500 baht). Funds took 1 minute to be credited to Thai bank account.
  16. Thanks for that info. When I tried the notifications earlier, there were none. I just tried again, and the option to accept their conditions was there. Now waiting for their next email.
  17. I received the email yesterday telling me to review and agree to their relaunch conditions, I logged into my account to find out about this but, although I can see a FAQ about this, I can't see any way to review and accept their new conditions. Can anyone explain how to do it ?
  18. After a year of not getting past page 1, I was successful last week, and the application was approved within a few hours.
  19. I used the online system up to my extension in 2020. Since then, like many others, I can't get past the first page. I extended again in Sept 2021, and I just tried from the website for the first time since then, and it completed. Now waiting for confirmation (Chiang Mai). Perhaps it will work for others after their next extension.
  20. I signed up at the BCC site 2 months ago, and received an email from Jina last week offering an AZ injection at the McCormick hospital, Chiang Mai. So it's not only Bangkok. I replied, declining her offer as I have already received an AZ jab at my local hospital 6 weeks ago.

  22. Thanks for the link to the previous thread, however it didn't work for me, but something changed my sync time. 17:55 Before changing the router setting, I checked the time of last sync "10:56:21" which was the time i managed to sync this morning. I amended the router setting as indicated in the thread, and restarted the router. When I went to the settings page to try to sync, the time shown for my last sync was 16:51:00 Trying to sync just produced the same "unable to sync" message. In my case I should always be able to switch ISP servers when I want to sync the time, but it's still a PITA.
  23. I bought a new PC a few months ago, the time was synced in the shop, but I've never been able to do it at home. I've tried changing the time server and checking that the appropriate windows services are running ok. This morning my 3BB service was down for a short period and I switched to my backup TOT service, and I was able to synchronise the time with no problems. Anybody know if it's 3BB or the modem, that's blocking me?
  24. I used to stay at the Ocean View, as well I think the Thai boxing was filmed in the bar just at the start of Walking Street. The whole Whickers World episode is on Youtube Or the shortened Pattaya portion (not the whole of the Pattaya part)
