This looks like the same bar I drove by 3 nights ago. I'm not <deleted>ting you it was on the same block as the beach road police station, just 60 meters north, had a live band. Awesome detective work.

Yoga teachers could easily mean they are being trained as yoga teachers.
Anyway, Koh Phangan and all these hippy dippy, new age spiritualists, vegan, wannabes getting all close to nature and tuning into the universal vibe, are sure clueless as hell when it comes to getting a read on the law of the land and mandated requirements in public and social settings. Ooooohhhhhmmmmmm

Had some chick try this on me back in early April. Walking towards second road down from LK metro. She whips upon her motorcycle, jumps off, propositions me while moving in tightly on me with hands all over, whilst slipping her hand into my pocket trying to get my phone, money, whatever. I called her out on her <deleted> in Thai and proceeded to try get a picture of her license plate, she scrammed very fast on her bike down the Soi. Watch out for these fast action touchy feely bitches.

This happened in my quiet village, actually it was Tuesday night. The particular strip is popular for young locals to sit and eat along the sidewalk. Can't see why the driver veered off into the sidewalk other than he was drunk. Thankfully he didn't kill anyone else, it's not unusual to see a few dozen people eating out there. Luckily this shop he hit had a raised cement entrance about a meter high which took the brunt of the collision and likely stopped the vehicle from careening even further.

Places like Pai and Koh Pha Ngan might never recover from this requirement.

Under consideration stamps mean that your application is not yet approved and you must return to the same office on the date mentioned to finalize a permission to stay stamp.

IDC is very finiky about what flights he will be allowed on. Ideally they prefer a direct flight. Flights with layovers of any long duration won't be booked. Don't expect them to choose the cheapest flight either. Usually the detainee will be held a few weeks while waiting processing of fingerprints is completed and checked with Interpol. Completely agree with Ubonjoe that monies be handled through the relevant embassy to ensure no <deleted>ery. If possible bring food on regular basis.

Predictions are $2500usd by the end of the year. Personally I'm waiting.
Never in our lifetime has such a surge taken place with a perfect storm of events worldwide. Gold didn't just whimper over the $2000 mark it roared to $2070. I bought a fair amount almost 2 yrs ago at it's lowest, just biding my time.

Oh yes, let's exploit workers because there is always another to fill the empty slot.
You make it sound so awful I am almost surprised.......... not........ that there is such a massive surplus of these guys.

A first world nation is one which has reduced, simplified and streamlined bureaucracy and red tape to a minimum. An emerging nation is one which sees a mass of red tape and complexities as a sign of of their own status and self-importance.
Over the last few years Thailand has been so wrapped up in creating *very important* classes and subsclasses of Aliens and of making multiple rules about rules for 50 different shades of white so that Aliens can be firmly filed away in the right drawers . . . so much so that now that now Immigration is forced to stand up and take responsibility, they can't.
Because they've made such a complex mess of it all that the now can't remember every single visa contingency that they, themselves, have created.They are so obsessed with tourists and tourism that all the farang residents (living, working or retired here) are unimportant and a nuisance.
So, tough, if you're tangled up in the red tape of extensions and 90-day exits of the the country or stuck abroad because right now you can't return or worried because with no amnesty you are forced to leave Thailand (and then get stuck outside) - this is because of what an important nation Thailand is and they need all these multiple rules and regulation to prove this.
Because they're the best nation in the world and you are only an mere Alien. So there.
It appears you chose the wrong type of visa for your stay in Thailand.

The first 15 seconds of this 3+ minute clip seems to be the only relevant portion, unless of course endless streams of traffic are your thing.

I'm curious about how this will turn out compared to the van driver that drop kicked the lady lottery ticket seller.

Concentrating on the road saves lives but so many of the accident videos that you see in Thailand show a reckless, out of control driver running cars that are obeying traffic rules right off the road. They often have no chance, concentration or not. That's what happened yesterday with the Buriram crash. Totally reckless pick-up crosses median and slams right into an oncoming SUV. There's nothing the driver of the SUV could have done to get out of the way.
My feeling is if that SUV were in the left lane instead of the right hand lane it's possible the collision might have been avoided.

9 line markers were passed from the time of the truck impact till the car impact.
5 line markers from the time the car decided to brake, no de-acceleration from taking foot off the gas pedal during the event. The car driver wasted a lot of time and made no attempt to slow till it was way too late. Almost 6 seconds elapsed from the time the trucks collided, he didn't brake till 3 seconds later.

Driver of the car very slow to react to the collision ahead. He waited at least a second to react after the truck started veering into his lane. He should have reacted with the initial collision of the trucks.

The clip doesn't tell everything.
That said, the woman appears to moving slowly across a virtually empty street, there is no way the driver couldn't have seen her and her intersecting movements a long way off and adjusted himself accordingly. Definitely should have moved to the left, and slowed down. The woman appears to be looking towards him as she crosses.
Woman: not much traffic on street, wait a few more secs to be totally safe. 10% responsible.
Driver: total fail not adjusting to someone crossing far ahead with unobstructed view.

Ordinary people have always contributed vastly more as a percentage of their total wealth than the rich. Very generous and kind hearted of these guys to help the average person. Fortunately for them gas prices are at an all time low.

And not a word of safety in regards to the on going concerns and catastrophies related to tourism activities such as boating and highway transportation.

I was really expecting to see a machine similar to the magical air cleaning sprayer. Possibly some kind of gigantic Tom Yum Gung aerator.

As many have said usually included in the price. In the countryside where I live a simple install with wall mount is included, inverter type models with electrical breaker needs cost 1000 baht more.

FYI, an under consideration stamp is not the same as a permission to stay stamp. You need to update your stamp by reporting to immigration on the date your consideration stamp states.

I bought a bunch in oct 2018 when gold went down to 18,250 baht, today I can sell it for 26,000 per baht minus 100 per bar, nice return on the investment today, but I think it will go higher.
