Re: Thailand Immigration: TM30 24 hour reporting thread

This is hilarious. There are already smartphone apps for the TM6 and TM30, and for the 90 day report. Reminds me of a government job I once had. People who were payees for certain Federal beneficiaries had to file a report every year as to how they used the funds they received. At one time I happene...

Re: Thailand Immigration: TM30 24 hour reporting thread

Next week I'm going on a four day live aboard dive trip. The boat leaves from and returns to Songkhla. However, we will spend three days and four nights diving at Losin, which is in Pattani Province. If I were inclined to report, which I'm not, I supposed I'd somehow have to do so via TM28 to Immigr...

Re: Best Full English Breakfast In Cha Am Beach Area?

There is a newly renovated place at the end of Soi Bus Stop. I've only had coffee there, but the menu has a Full English breakfast.

It's here: The Beach Cha Am Café and Restaurant

Here's a shot of the menu:

Re: Ceiling Fans

So, I took all three fans down and disassembled them and shipped the motors to the Mr Ken service center in Bangkok. They replaced the capacitors and pull-chain switches on all three. I'm not sure what else, if anything, they did. Less than 18 months later all three are running very slow. Essentiall...

Re: Netflix and VPN issues

Got lucky. My wife spoke to the condo engineer in charge of the network. Turns out he also had trouble playing Netflix videos from the condo, but it worked OK from his home.

He contacted CAT. CAT reset their router. Now we’re good to go.

Re: Netflix and VPN issues

But, that means dealing with CAT. They said to ask the condo to contact them because they can’t talk to us about the problem. But trying to get the condo front office staff to understand the issue is probably beyond them.

Re: Netflix and VPN issues

Thai ISP IP addresses often get blacklisted around the world for various reasons, CAT and 3BB are the worst. That's one of the reasons for using a VPN, but of course it doesn't work with Netflix! I would try with a mobile 4G provider or ask CAT to give you a different IP. It works with cellular dat...

Netflix Fail

Last night we were about to watch a show on Netflix, but got a notice that it had been detected that we were using a proxy or VPN. we were not. We have been using Netflix from this location for a year or so. We successfully watched several programs yesterday afternoon via Netflix on our Apple TV. I ...

So, you make an easily verifiable assertion but you’re not willing to back it up with proof?

That says a lot.

Re: Lawyer for will / US connection?

Those are just alternate forms of making a will. "a" is the more standard method which involves a will with a couple of witnesses. "b" is a holographic will with no witness. "c" is a will made orally before two witnesses at the Amphoe. "d" is a "secret&qu...

Re: Lawyer for will / US connection?

Without knowing the particulars of your wife's will there's no way for us to know what the court considered. The plain fact is that there is no legal requirement for a holographic will to be registered. That's exactly what paragraph "b" in what you posted says. Can you tell us what exactly...

Re: Lawyer for will / US connection?

I can’t prove a negative, so please cite the Thai law that requires wills to be registered. This subject has been discussed many times on here. I am referring specifically to self written Wills. I believe that you have posted previously that your wife is a Thai Lawyer. Please ask her! I did. Here's...

Re: Seven year vehicle test for registration

Those test results look impressive. Certainly at KC garage, the exhaust is checked, wheel alignment on the rolling road, visual check of the tyres, then the 'mechanic' puts his head through the window and gives a 'thumbs up' to the receptionist dealing with me. That's it. Literally takes a few minu...
