Very true, I will add my stories. I was driving down Petchaburi Rd when an oncoming motorbike attempting to overtake a bus crossed a solid line onto my side of the road. I swerved to avoid him but he lost control, came off his bike and his bike hit into the side of my car causing about 180,000 baht of damages. Witnesses claimed I was making a right turn when he hit me on his side of the road and a police officer at the scene agreed with them. I pointed out that the broken glass of his mirror was clearly all on my side of the road but they wouldn't hear any of it. My own insurer was ready to side with them but I wouldn't and the police officer said I needed to go to the police station as there were injuries. I attended the station and produced dash cam footage confirming what happen. When the other party arrived (he went to hospital first), police fined him 400 baht for dangerous driving and he apologised to me. Second situation, a truck driver on the Chonburi bypass cut across 3 lanes into the right lane straight in my path (just before the bridge where trucks hate being stuck being other slow trucks), I managed to brake in time but because of his sudden jerky maneuver, his uncovered load of rocks fell all over my car damaging my windshield and causing significant paint damage. He attempted to flee the scene so I called the police and we managed to stop him. The truck driver denied what happened. Despite me saying I had dash cam footage, police and my insurer was ready to concede saying it would be difficult to prove liability since there was no vehicular collision. We went to the police station and I showed the video and the truck driver was fined 400 baht for dangerous driving but still refused to accept responsibility. The police told him that if he didn't accept liability, they would fine him for driving with an uncovered load which was a much higher fine. He reluctantly accepted liability. Moral of the stories is, get a dash cam.

That would be a civil claim so negligence would just need to be proven more likely than not, that in itself is very easy in Thailand especially if you have a dash cam. That being said, it rarely comes to that. Legal costs are expensive in Thailand so unless you know the at-fault party can afford to compensate you more than your legal costs, there's no point pursuing it.

Most upper class Thai people are foreign educated, many of them grew up overseas. Culturally they're more similar to upper class westerners than they are to the average Thai person. They have no problems socialising with foreigners, race doesn't even come into the picture.

Not much has changed from that, just slightly more paperwork. A letter from your employer now gets you either a 90 day B visa which you can extend into a year (or longer) after you arrive, or a multiple entry 90 day. Going to immigration needing a few days will get you an extension after a small fee.

Company chairman says his company will make more money tomorrow.

Someone else gets something nice and it makes them feel bad. These people are pathetic.

The only thing that heat tends to destroy are those rubber mounts. Use double sided tape for your camera and you'll be fine.

Don't worry too much. It's very relaxed here. Get a dash cam front and back installed. They're very cheap and make it much easier to explain what happened especially if you don't speak Thai well. If you cause an accident with injuries or significant property damage, take responsibility for everything (either directly, through your insurance, or both) and there will rarely be any repercussions.

The tax is a few hundred baht. They do it because they want to show off that their car is new.

The names of the destinations are what I've listed above except once you've exited to Chonburi, follow the signs to Bangkok. At the end of the bypass, you should see the elevated highway, exit to the left to take it (follow the blue signs). You don't need to take it but it'll be a lot faster (and safer) than going under and the exit to Rama II is a lot more obvious from above. When you switch from the 35 to the 4, you need to take the road as it splits off left (both ways are the number 4). The signs will say they're going to Petchaburi.

You must be able to get a residence certificate in order to buy a car. If your embassy issues those, you're in luck, you can do it on any visa. If your embassy doesn't, then it comes down to your local immigration office. Bangkok will only issue it if you've filed a 90 day report which rules out any shorter term visas. Chonburi will happily issue it on any visa as long as you or your landlord has done the TM30.

If you're out in Klaeng take the 344 up, if near Muang Rayong take the 36. Switch to the number 7, take the exit to Chonburi, go through the Chonburi bypass to the 34, go up the elevated tollway. Exit to Rama II Take Rama II to 35 Then 4 to Cha Am exit Then follow down to Hua Hin Don't take number 3 up. It's often packed and has many traffic lights.

No you need to get vaccinated and die to qualify.

Vaccines don't stay in the system long enough for there to be interactions (unless you injected them at the same time). The main risk with combining different vaccines is that each vaccine carries different side effects and risks. Where these risks have independent risk factors, you're essentially doubling your risk of side effects. It's a trivial increase but it's worth considering given that the medical benefits of mixing vaccines are limited.

And this is the image of an Amulet successfully doing it's bit?

Better India spends the money on incarcerating him than Thailand. You think Thai prisons are bad? Imagine being locked up in a room with 500 sweaty Indians and no ventilation.

I wouldn't say I changed my mind, rather I made it. I was on the fence at first. I was in a situation where I was not in any immediate danger (could isolate as necessary) and so waited for large numbers of people to get vaccinated first to look out for any unforeseen dangers. That's well and truly happened, I'm satisfied with the safety and efficacy, so I got vaccinated.

If the car was built in 2003, imported in 2018, they call it 2018. I'd say the standard here is the blue book date of the first registration.

The agency sounds like they're insolvent. An external administrator should be appointed. The assets of the company will be sold off and the funds will be used to pay the administrators and any associated legal fees. In my experience in Thailand there's not going to be anything left after that. If, through a stroke of luck, something is left after that, it will be distributed among creditors such as yourself proportionately to how much your debt is a fraction of the total owing.

I got mine today too, they gave a certificate and the หมอพร้อม app can also be used to get a certificate..

Sorry but consensual sex isn't a scandal. I'm not sure grouping by gender is the answer either. Any good looking guy who's been to pub bathroom in this country knows what I'm talking about.

I think he's saying that you shouldn't be able to post anything that goes over his head.

How fast do you have to be going to cause that much damage rear-ending someone? Anyway, it looks like an accident, "no special treatment" means if he, like anybody else, compensates the victims' families, he will be fined not exceeding 10,000 baht.

They're probably right, I doubt he intended to kill. It's hard to extort money from a dead man.
