I used USPS several times. My kids send me stuff and I have a mail forwarding service. Always fast and never had any issues. Last one was 9 days for a small package like your talking about. I think about $20.

Not much. Restaurants are take out only. Malls are closed. Even in Big C or Lotus certain sections are closed. Apparently kids clothes are not “essential items”.

Not sure what you are looking for but if it’s not a bank or supermarket it’s probably closed.

I was in the middle of f’n nowhere. Emerald triangle area. Not too far from Laos or Cambodia. We had 3BB. I opted for the 300 MBPS and it was always higher. I would speed test and often get closer to 400. Up to 1000 was available if I remember right.

It’s been said already…. But I did it myself as well. Owner gave me copies of all the pertinent documents and his ID and I just went and did it. No issues at all.

I’m on a one year contract with about 6 months left, we’ll be done somewhere around the end of the year or early Jan.

When it’s done I have to turn in my work permit. What is required to do that? The Thai “sponsor company” I’m working for had never had any foreign employees before me and it’s been a real shit show so far.

If it matters I’m on a Non O extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai.

I have done it on the airplane. I let the flight attendant know as I boarded I would be interested in an upgrade if seats are available. There were. I did.

I have also done it at check in.

It’s very possible.

I did it. I never went anywhere near an Embassy. My Florida drivers license, my international license, the residency certificate from immigration, copies of passport and visa, and the medical clearance was all I needed. (That I remember). But for sure I did not go anywhere near the embassy.

@To**
there are people here that have completed decades of extension of stays, so yes it can be done many times. You can leave any time you like. You get a re-entry permit at the airport before you depart. Or, you simply get a multiple entry extension.

I will tell you this...when we did the fiancé visa for my wife the day she did the interview at the embassy 100% of the ladies that were trying to get tourist visas (that she saw) were denied. A couple doing fiancé visas were denied too.

We applied for hers in May and in August it was done. This was 2014-2015 though so it’s obviously different now.
