Fairplay, but more backing for the argument for price hikes across the board for everything and everyone to cover the increases while the govt hikes taxes. The majority will be worse off at the end of the month which means more debt.

We read every few days about Thailand's terrible debt situation, so where will this extra 40฿/day come from? Tax 'em, tax 'em again, then tax 'em some more, something this govt appears pretty adept at. Higher wages leads to increased costs for staff, services, labour, deliveries, products, food, et...

The 24-hour reporting after arrival and 90-day confirmation of address reporting are two different things. The stamps in and out are in the immigration database, but the address confirmation doesn't appear to be (hence the pieces of paper stapled into your passport ... which no other country I've be...

Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang set for $4.8bn expansion The operator of Thailand's two main airports plans to spend about US$4.8 billion to more than double capacity by the end of the decade to cope with a surge in post-coronavirus-pandemic tourism. In the biggest expansion of Suvarnabhumi airport since ...

Why do you report when you return? My understanding, perhaps wrong, is when you leave the country then return the return date starts the 90 day cycle irregardless of the cycle before leaving. The idea for those of us not living near the immigration office is to keep the online cycle going. If the 9...

Likewise, have done it online after returning. The two systems (online and manual/immigration) do not appear to be linked/connected so you can even do the online report when you're not in the country!

You do realize you can crank the screen brightness up manually when in sunlight ... the auto brightness setting often doesn't automatically react to rapid light intensity changes.

Don't have one on your phone? The camera on the new phone I just bought kicks arse, so much so that the DSLRs only come out for special occasions now!

Many private companies have bid for the license to broadcast Euro 2024, which means the competition will be aired in Thailand, said Kongsak Yodmanee, the governor of the new Sports Authority of Thailand. He said related companies will make announcements in a week's time. Source: Thai Enquirer 439935...

It does look fantastic, shame the visa is such a ballache for certain passport holders.

No, its for my son who is studying in Bangkok. I'll get him to ask, but very unlikely it'll beat that DTAC deal - the equivalent net SIM from AIS is now around 2,700 (80% more than we paid.)

Likewise, I also get the calls that, thankfully, the phone now identifies as a scam allowing me to block them. Once they have your number, there's no escape!

Nation hit by surge in scams, financial fraud Thailand was one of the top three countries in the Asia-Pacific region to suffer a significant surge in financial fraud scams last year, according to Google's 2023 Bad Apps Report. "In 2023, we saw a significant rise in scams and financial fraud. N...

I've been researching these, and it looks like DTAC (which is now True anyway) has the best deals at the moment (1,490 for 15Mb/100GB/mo 12 months). Does anyone use them for mobile data, and what is the signal/service like? Both AIS and True have hiked their prices significantly while slashing the s...

I can only suggest Bangkok, which is where I take Nikons that need attention. There are no camera specialists in HH as far as I know, just shiny shops in malls that want to sell you more stuff. Lens faults are usually too expensive to bother fixing also unless its under warranty and can go back to t...
