  1. My bet is that someone in the decision-making process has connections with someone who supplies and/or fits these. And the more that are laid, the more kick backs are paid. It's the same near where I live, but with the super thick paint rumble strips, which are everywhere, except where they would benefit safety. Here this road is a single lane country road behind a temple and they have managed to paint THREE sets of these rumble strips in 30m, AFTER a tight bed, to warn drivers of a bridge that has an elevation of about 45-60cm. The pic was taken before they did this. On the flip side outside Nonthaburi Provincial court there are three of these concrete speedbumps, but ZERO warning, so you hit the first one at speed then you don't know how many more there are, if any. It's total greedy retardedness. https://maps.app.goo.gl/y57DcBTGpgXRNL7y9
  2. I had to get all the way to the 6th paragraph this time.
  3. If I bar fine a young lady on the 9th, can I keep her until the 12th, of course I need to keep her topped up with food, water, gold, and 5G data. Asking for a friend.
  4. Was there REALLY a recent poll, and how valid was it? Nice clickbaity headline, and yes I clicked of course... mainly for the entertaining answers. @Ralf001 & @CharlieH didn't let me down. 🥰💪🏻🍻
  5. A young lady who I know who 'dances' around a pole has told me her bar in Nana is closed Thursday & Friday. Another young lady I know in Khao Sarn says it's business as usual. I just wanted to plan my social life, and (for those who comment above) am more than capable of sober days without shakes or panics.
  6. With Thursday being a religious holiday, I predict that bars will close at midnight on Wednesday and nothing will be open on Thursday. But some intel would be greatly appreciated.
  7. I didn't bother reading more than a couple of paragraphs, but scrolling down I saw this 'doctor' wearing his baseball cap backwards and the words 'tikTok video'
  8. If anyone wants to see regular cases of buses deciding that waiting in traffic or driving on the correct side of the road are 'not their thing' then this stretch of road every late afternoon almost guarantees results. Northbound buses. https://maps.app.goo.gl/r4ogDmX28ZAP2p7h6
  9. And I just noticed that today's lovely IO even found a space on an earlier page of my passport to stamp me in, thus not wasting future pages. I love this!
  10. Upon my successful application for a DTV back in March, @DrJack54 asked me to start a new post with my experience getting back into Thailand. In short: no problems at all. ✅💪🏻🍻 - I had kept 600K in the bank to show, just in case they came up with some cock & ball story that the 500k is needed for every entry. IO didn't ask for anything. - I had a flight out of Thailand already booked for 2 weeks after I land. IO didn't ask for proof. - I completed the TDAC thing online before flying and entered the DTV number and my flight out to Japan scheduled for mid July. IO didn't ask to see the email or QR. I guess it's their system. - On the TDAC I wrote that I was a UK resident, which is partially true. I didn't want to write that I was a resident here. - I can't remember the reason for coming that I wrote, but it was either meeting or business or maybe something else. The IO at BKK this afternoon was very nice, and stamped me in until end of December, although I'll be popping out several times before then. In summary, all good, fast, and hassle free.
  11. By the time he gets there, he might not be DPM & FM anymore.
  12. Is that an oxymoron? Ignore that. I thought it said IN Bangkok... and now I can't delete. I feel so silly.
  13. It's simple. In a few months they will 'relax' the same laws, so that they are the same as now and as they have been forever, then expect us to be grateful.
  14. I don't think this is 'on the way back' as it's a Thai Domestic flight, or at least a local low cost flight. Certainly not to the UK.
