  1. Rough as guts. Clearly not smart for a relaxed family swim.
  2. I'd rather root my ex
  3. It seems location is not important to you. I have heard good things about Hakwata Clinic https://maps.app.goo.gl/vbRvYJqC6jo7dMoD8
  4. Weird story. Walking around barefoot at midnight and getting "massages" on the 2nd floor in the early hours of the morning. Meanwhile has a partner and a family. Sounds like the James O'Keefe of lawyers. There's a Thai man that stands on the corner of the soi to Arkbar that offers literally everyone walking by cocaine openly. He offered it to me the other day and is also mentioned in reviews of the area. If you buy from him without getting instantly scammed and locked up then maybe you will drop dead from putting unknown white powder up your nose.
  5. Hamburger with the lot. Brought to justice.
  6. Meanwhile the man standing on the corner offering it publicly to every passer by doesn't get touched.
  7. Sitting on the floor to eat when there's tables and chairs.
  8. I looked into them. Concensus seemed to be more parts etc amd more stuff that can go wrong.
  9. Its 20m to the right when you exit domestic. Big green grab pickup point. Prices in my experience are about the same as the official rates. There is a big board displaying the official rates on the wall in the baggage collection area.
  10. Yes confusing at best. Seems they have recycled old news and just run it again with a title of "new". No mention of new bombs.
  11. "media outlets mistakenly reported he had been electrocuted" Lucky he didn't get electrocuted 🤔
  12. I love it. It's burying these dinosaurs. This is the "just grab" option in the app if you want to support change.
  13. No. Only issue is being demoted in society after having non-b. Specifically risks of frozen bank accounts and demoted from 5 year license to 2 year. That's my only negatives so far, otherwise I love it. However I wouldn't even consider doing the possible extension at immigration after 6 months and prefer to have a short holiday. That sounds like a possible ball ache.
  14. Tasers. Pepper spray. Training. Like most other countries.
  15. Yes from pattani. The news report was thai. I misread it. They were searching the krabi mosque for a motorcycle bomb. Not suspects.
  16. The place is a dump. Rudest locals and foriegners just looking for beer and pussy. This is nothing new.
  17. I need to do the same thing. My 5 year expires in October. I got it with non-imm and work permit. Now on DTV though. I checked appointments in the smartqueue app for Phuket literally only a week ago and they were availble from late October. So that shows how fast things are filling up. Indeed now they are booked for the year. Phang Nga has 2 offices. 1 quite further than the other. I contacted the closer one and the manager said policy at that office is to renew 5 year licences as only 2 year if you hold a DTV. There is little wait in the Phang Nga offices and great reviews. So I asked 2 agents in Phuket. They said they can't "fix" that in any way. One of them did however say to walk into the Phuket office and you will get an appointment sooner than the app shows. This appears to have happened in your case? I was planning to go down there and ask the DTV renewal policy but I can't be assed dealing with the angry bs you describe. I think I will either do it in the Phang nga office that is in takua pu and much further and hope I get a 5 year. Or walk into the Phuket one and do what you did and hope for the best. Will probably get a 2 year but whatever. I agree it is one of the crappest departments to deal with. You would think they would have more offices, outsource some stuff to agents, streamline the process. Queing on the steps before the joint opens is bizarre and totally unnecessary. I find the following comparison to Australia interesting: Victoria (VicRoads) VicRoads operates ≈44 public-facing offices across the state . Victoria’s population is around 6.7 million, with approximately 5.1 million licensed drivers . Office-to-people ratio: Per total population: 6,700,000 ÷ 44 ≈ 152,000 people per office Per drivers: 5,100,000 ÷ 44 ≈ 116,000 drivers per office Thailand (Department of Land Transport) Thailand consists of 76 provinces + Bangkok, each with at least one DLT office . Total population is around 70 million, averaging ≈908,000 people per administrative region. Office-to-people ratio: ~70,000,000 ÷ 77 ≈ 910,000 people per office Summary Victoria: ~150k residents (116k drivers) per office Thailand: ~910k residents per office In other words, Thai DLT offices each serve about 6× more people than VicRoads offices do in Victoria—which explains why your experience feels like a “total sh*t show.”
  18. That's what i mean. How do they know he is bolt. Not asking u. Just putting it out there. I don't blindly believe everything i read.
  19. Static website or full stack app? Traffic?
  20. I suppose we just guess what the protest is about. Great article though.
  21. Yes that's correct. They are a good lab and don't offer breath test so I imagine it would be rare / not possible to find a lab without a doctor offering breath test.
