    I was hearing a rumour about the British Embassy in BKK organising the vaccines but they aren’t just in case anyone was also wondering. The official response I got.

    I went to my local Immigration office for my 90 report when due in May but the office was closed.  I can’t do an online report because my current TM 47 was issued long ago and is not in the system.  I thought about mailing the report but there’s no one to receive it.  I’ll probably see all the farang down at the office August 1st. ?

    Office is open now,took me 5mins when i went last wed.

    Guys, if this keeps along the political track, it will be moved to the politics forum.

    The topic of this thread is 'Baht'

    Like it or not most movement in currencies is down to politics.

    No, same rates apply if you use the bank exchange kiosks. There is a slightly better  rate applied to doing a telex transfer into a bank than if you changed cash in there, then they also make a charge for conversion. Transferwise is usually regarded as the best option for wire transfers.  In reality, if you are going to be exchanging cash, you would be a schmuck to use banks. Go to TT Exchange kiosks where the rate is far better. In Bangkok Superrich offers better cash rates. 

    Im sure i read somewhere that there is a Super Rich in Central festival Pattaya.

    I am waiting for a strong Pound Sterling as I need to get a new vehicle,  it has been a long time now!

    Last week i checked the forecast for the pound/baht.It predicts that the pound/baht in 2022 will be in the mid 30s.If you can get 42 or 43,take it,or hope brexit will not happen.

  7. I'm a big fan of Indian curries.The best ive had was in Zaika (2nd road opposite the Royal garden plaza).Chicken madras with plain rice costs about B300.

     

    Another option is Everest (located on the sub soi next to soi Honey).If you want to try it i suggest you have the daily special B199.

  8. The box will need a full hard reset before anything is done with it.

     

    This sets the box back to factory settings and format the drive and reinstalls the O/S

    Way beyond my skill set hahaha.

  9. Have you been updating the apps as time go on? If not then you may just need your box updating with the latest software. There is guy on Addicts who sells them but will also update existing boxes for about 500 baht. If you are not a member there and want his contact info PM me. I think he posts on here too.

    I have been updating as prompted,not enough of a techie to do more.Ive sent you a PM.Cheers DP

  10. I have had a Minix box for 3yrs,just lately i have been getting many popup advertising.I have had to uninstall all the browsers.Along with that 2 of the main Apps i use do not work as before.Megabox(cannot play video)about 80 % of the time i get this.Also MovieHD(no connection).

     

    My question is,where can i buy a new Media box,someone recommended a stall in Tuk com but after looking for an hour,could not find.It seems Tuk com has had a reshuffle with many of the stalls disappearing.

    Male logic... flawless

    This a conversation between a man and a woman. Please note that she asks five or six questions which he answered quite simply, but then she is speechless after answering only one question. Pretty interesting:

     

    Woman: Do you drink beer?

     

    Man: Yes

     

    Woman: How many beers a day?

     

    Man: Usually about three

     

    Woman: How much do you pay per beer?

     

    Man: $5.00 which includes a tip (this is where it gets scary!)

     

    Woman: And how long have you been drinking?

     

    Man: About 20 years, I suppose

     

    Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have three beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400 correct?

     

    Man: Correct

     

    Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000 correct?

     

    Man: Correct

     

    Woman: Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought an airplane?

     

    Man: Do you drink beer?

     

    Woman: No.

     

    Man: Where is your airplane?

     

    :llaugh :llaugh :llaugh

  12. No I should have 30 days on my re-enter, US doesn't need a visa for under 30 days

    If you are doing a 90 day report,you must have a retirement extension?

     

    If this is the case and you obtain a re-entry permit,then when you re-enter Thailand your 90 days until the next report,

    commences on that date.

  13. I went to immigration yesterday Chiang Rai for my 90 day report and to get a re entry, when the lady gave me back my passport she told me when I return to Thailand come back and check in with immigration office. my 90 days won't be up for 10 day later. I been in Thailand for 14 years now and was never asked to check in with immigration on my return. Is this something new now?

    Very curious,your new 90 days shouldnt start until you re-enter.
