It's my recollection that we got a family plan under my wife's name and that all the SIMs are under her name. But, according to the DTAC app, that was ten years ago.

The DTAC app shows the name of the person who registered the SIM. Not sure about other carriers.

Some clarification here: Mule accounts targeted, new mobile banking curbs The telecom regulator says access to mobile banking accounts where the names of the account holders and phone subscribers are different will require case-by-case permission, as a clampdown begins on the use of mule accounts by...

This was in the Bangkok Post on May 21st , but I just ignored it until I watched the news this morning: Approved by the NBTC previously, the [new] policy requires that the name used in registering a mobile phone SIM card is identical to the name of the owner of the bank account connected to the inte...

This is kind of funny. This thread appears on the New Posts page so I mistakenly assumed it was current.

Sorry. Too late to delete the post.

I haven't had to stay in a hotel in Cha Am for some time, but I'm there every month. If I were to choose, I'd probably pick the Raya Resort. I have coffee there every morning when I'm in town. The grounds are lovely. It's right on the beach. Agoda has it for 1800 when I just looked. Another one that...

I know this doesn't help anyone, but we've had none of the problems with failed delivery or counterfeit items described here. Almost all of the drivers call when they're about to deliver and immediately hang up. If someone is home, they leave it at the house. If not, it's left at the guard shack. Ne...

The surface temperature was 32º in May of 2019 when the photo above was taken. As you can see, that resulted in severe bleaching of some coral. By September of the same year the surface temperature was down to 30º which was low enough for much of the coral to recover. I haven't been out this year (t...

Just had a look at my dive log. There was a nasty bleaching event in May of 2019 at Losin in the Gulf. The photo is a screen grab of a video I took at the time. By September when we returned to the same spot, most of the bleaching was gone.

Cannabis permit system in pipeline “The permit system must not place an unreasonable burden on the public,” he said in a post on Facebook, adding that there would be a grace period for the public to adjust. Is it considered an unreasonable burden if we're required to present a copy of our "per...

I recall reading there were some issues over land ownership and that surveys had shown that some of the land commandeered, wasn't suitable to be used for an elevated road, which meant they had to re-route some plans, commandeer more land etc. This is completely baffling to me as they started survey...

It would probably move to Korat. It's on a very high plateau with zero risk of sinking. Part of the new motorway to Korat that they are building by hand, very slowly, concrete slab, by concrete slab, is finally open, but only from/to Pak Chong (to Korat) and the high speed rail is taking shape, wel...

I'm jumping into this thread without having reviewed all 127 pages except for a few from this year. We decided to get a new car late last year to replace our 10 year old Toyota Vios. I was leaning toward an EV until my wife needed to travel to Prachin Buri. I went along for the ride. Late in the dri...
