  8. About 15 years ago I asked an immigration lady what I could do if I could could not make it to immigration. She told Stop just stop coming No one's gonna be looking for you That made sense to me. This was at Bangkok immigration.
  9. Thailand has introduced specific guidelines for alcohol vendors to assess customer intoxication before serving more drinks. This follows a regulation that prohibits the sale of alcohol to already intoxicated customers, as per Section 29 of the Alcohol Control Act. The guidelines published in the Royal Gazette aim to help vendors make informed decisions and avoid legal repercussions. Get today's headlines by email The regulation was announced last December but lacked clarity on how vendors should evaluate intoxication. On March 30, the Royal Gazette detailed methods for assessing a customer's level of drunkenness, describing physical, verbal, and behavioral indicators of intoxication. The Disease Control Department's director, Monthian Kanasawat, highlighted that vendors should watch for signs like impaired balance, motor control issues, and behaviors that may threaten public safety. Key methods outlined include three sobriety tests: a self nose-touching test, a foot-to-foot alternating test, and a single-leg counting test. Each method assesses coordination and balance, with specific criteria to determine intoxication. For instance, the nose-touching test involves closing the eyes and touching the nose, with signs of intoxication including noticeable hand tremors. These guidelines are part of efforts to ensure public safety and prevent alcohol-related harm. Sellers may face legal consequences if they serve alcohol to intoxicated customers who then cause damage or injury. Authorities urge drinkers to self-assess their sobriety and stop consuming alcohol if signs of intoxication appear. Looking forward, vendors and patrons are expected to adapt to these guidelines, which took effect on March 28. Effective implementation could lead to a decrease in alcohol-related incidents, promoting safer drinking environments. Authorities may monitor compliance and adjust measures as necessary.

  11. Well in my over 40 years here, I have never had ANY problem with visas nor with bank paperwork when necessary. Thanks for your reply. I too have not had any problems with renewals. I was replying to a poster who said that he had never heard of a genuine application being rejected. Good luck.
  12. What does a memory seat actually do? Go back to it's original form when you get off it, or stays the same as it was when you had your fat bum on it for a few hours? Same question for a memory-foam mattress or pillow.
  13. Actually, it's the time to keep on building In the first two months of 2026, BYD had already completed 4,239 stations. A further 2,000 highway stations are planned by year end, covering one-third of highway service areas and placing a flash charger every 100 km. https://zecar.com/reviews/byd-blade-battery-2-flash-charging-2026
  14. Who owned what land in Mandatory Palestine is a complicated issue that leaves historians deeply divided. Most of the land that became Israel had been owned by the Ottoman Empire or absentee landlords in Istanbul, Cairo and Damascus. It had not been owned by the Palestinian peasant farmers who lived and worked there. Also, many of the Arabs who lived in Mandatory Palestine were recent immigrants; they had not lived there for centuries. Given those factors, from whom did Israelis steal the land? The Ottoman Empire no longer existed and the absentee landlords didn't have their homeland taken away.
  15. Don't you just hate when facts show how pathetic your following a moron.
  16. When you wear flip flops, it is so easy to remove them at shops or houses which request you to do so. There are different types/qualities of them available from Bht 20 up to Bht 1000.
  17. You failed to receive benefits because your a UK citizen, what you should have done is sail into Dover, you’ll be amazed at the benefits you will receive.
  18. Latest Motor Show 2026 bookings talked in this car250.com release dtd 30 Mar 2026. But it does not include quite a few vehicle manufacturers who do not report booking numbers until the end of the Motor Show....the show ends 5 Apr. So it's kinda like looking at a 2 week long multiteam tournament scoreboard where several matches/games have already occurred but the results of those already played games are not shown...instead, must wait to the tournament end to see all the previous game scores. https://www.car250.com/motor-show-2026-thai-05.html
  19. Love that. Sneakers as formal footwear. I have been to many weddings, funerals etc in the regions, and to see people dress up in their finest without a pair of proper shoes let alone formal ones. Maybe the Bangkok people are more formal than the bush but the complainer has his hand in the wrong spot.
  20. The reason they may be interested are because they will have tools available that not so before: Fraud monitoring and detection: Providers must develop proactive processes to detect and monitor unusual transactions and utilize data from multiple sources (e.g., Central Fraud Registry and data obtained from other financial service providers) to identify potential mule accounts and fraud. This may involve adopting new technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence) to enhance efficacy and stay ahead of emerging fraud techniques. NB: People like to say that there's no way anything gonna happen to the agent-assisted set-up because there's too much money in it. The money in it is why those departments may be interested. They may be able to link large data amounts now that 3 or 5 years ago was impossible. Thanks for your reply. What I was really getting at Is that there may be a reluctance for a government department to get too intrusive into the affairs of another department. Treading on toes etc.
  21. It also provides Iranian troops with many opportunities to dig themselves in, and shoot everything that moves past their hiding place.
  22. Crossing the Strait of Hormuz VID-20260330-WA0083.mp4
  23. Not much help. Just bumping your thread. Here is thread with some discussion.
  24. Did an AI search asking, "Does the Aion V refrigerator stay on all the time?" One answer was it can be set to run all the time and the other answer was it could be set to run up to 24 hours after turning off the car. Personally I wouldn't want to leave the frig running 24/7 but during trips when I would want to put something in the frig I would set it to run at least a few hours after turning off the car when stopping for a short rest, bathroom break, in case at the end of the trip I forgot to immediately remove stuff from the frig, etc. But hey, playing with "frig operation/settings and host of other car settings" will be part of getting to know your new Aion V....enjoy. does aion V refrigerator stay on all the time No, the Aion V refrigerator does not stay on all the time by default, but it can be programmed to stay on for extended periods even after the vehicle is powered off. YouTube +1 Key Features of the Aion V Refrigerator Programmable Duration: You can set the refrigerator to remain active for up to 24 hours after turning off the car. Dual Functionality: The unit acts as both a cooler and a heater, with a temperature range typically from -15°C to 50°C (-5°F to 122°F). Energy Consumption: When left on for a full day, it consumes approximately 0.5 kWh of the vehicle's battery. Control Interface: The refrigerator's settings, including temperature and duration, are managed through the car's 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen.
