Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase
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.

Re: Thai Minimum Wage Increase
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...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
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...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
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...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
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!

Re: Canon Camera Repair
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.

Re: Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China
It does look fantastic, shame the visa is such a ballache for certain passport holders.

Re: Best long-term "unlimited" internet SIM deals
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.)

Re: Spam/scam phone calls and texts
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!

Re: Best long-term "unlimited" internet SIM deals
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...
