I would cut it loose. Why continue with a lazy, ignorant and unstable women. Been there done that.

Smart women. Why struggle in Australia when you don't have to.

From bbcs story: UNECE regulation UN R118, which requires bus interiors to be made with non-flammable materials, was officially introduced in Thailand in 2022, but does not apply to buses made before then, or buses adapted using older chassis. 80% of Thailands buses are old.

On the surface it appears as commonsense. Great. The reality is kind of like the UN. They say bla bla bla, need to do this, should do that. However once it's said there is no enforcement or action. Kids died. It's sad. However checking kids buses is a fraction of a much larger issue of no safety standards or enforcement of safety in all modes of transport throughout Thailand. Perhaps with the exception of air. Maybe people would care more if they earned more than their 500 bucks a month. Ohhh but maybe that might affect the value of the baht or the desire to be cheap as hell.

Great explanations. Thank you

This is the second time I've seen this in the news in last few years. Let me get this straight. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Anytime the Thai baht begins to progress and get more valuable people freak out and step in to stifle and put a stop to it? Isn't this something that most countries celebrate? To me that would seem to suggest that Thailand purposefully limits itself and it's priority is more of being a cheap hub for cheap tourists rather than aspiring to progress to be a stronger country financially (eg. Singapore) ?

Cash is much quicker and easier than this QR crap. I used to use it a lot but got tired of the long process and the ridiculous need for staff to take a picture of my phone with my full name included. 2 notes - yeh 7/11 won't be taking photos of your phone and I think the speed of the process largely depends on how many layers of security you have on top of this. For me it is: Fingerprint/password to unlock the device. Fingerprint/password to access an area of hidden apps. Fingerprint/password to access banking app. Fingerprint/password to access the banking part of the banking app. I am sure there are people who roll with no security whatsoever except maybe the 1 password to access the banking app. I don't often shop at Tesco but I notice there is often some granny or someone fumbling with QR holding up the queues there. It's nice to have this as an option but I think it will slow things down ultimately. This is without even taking into account the possible implications of society's declining use of real money.

boltcutters and blowtorch please

What a load of BS. Mini heart - who cares. Ridiculous uniforms covered in meaningless awards and medals. Are all these people qualified in aviation / pilot based roles with all the flight badges they wear?

One thing - Everyone has their own situations and nuances but applying for DTV in Laos using a remote employment contract stating a home port of Thailand. Maybe better to just say your original country to avoid issues?

I feel like I could walk a donkey through the nothing to declare lane there and nobody would care. Every time it just looks like 1 or 2 thais sitting around bludging, talkin crap or lookin at there phones.

How are you playing movies on a USB. Just playing the files themselves or is there anything vaguely linux related on there? A recent windows update has messed with people using linux and dual boot stuff. This includes dual booting from usb. Otherwise, no idea.

Thanks for the info. Really handy. Seems like havign 500k is the main thing. More so than showing indivdual transactions. The proof of employment one is the only grey area left for me. Not that important anyway I guess as anyone can get one on the basis of muay Thai anyway

Great post. How interested do you think they were to see an income or specific deposits from your work? I have a portfolio website that looks great but am just getting started and have no income, employer, or jobs to show from it but my bank statements are well beyond the 500k the are wanting to see.

Immortal? 😂 ffs

Ugh. Just take your baby tantrums and go home. Please

man in the sky that needs a lot of money? no. its a load of bs. people are stupid.

His approach. Weaponise the media. Pigeon hole people into categories. Don't acknowledge any concerns of your citizens. Make it illegal to speak up about anything.

In my experience it's not like Australia where I can go and see a doc and say (for example) I have a problem with a rash, blood sugar and a bad hip and the guy will manage what he can and send you to a specialist if necessary. Instead it's more like the initial doc will not be interested and just forward you to 3 different departments and you're in for 3 or 4 different fees instead of one.

Delete it.

My favourite beach in Phuket is not on the west coast. Thankfully its in an area where most tourists don't really go anyway. One of the last beaches where you can relax and enjoy some peace and quiet and calm water.

Ah yes. Safe zone 1.0 or 2.0 wasn't it. Where i come from most of the people watching, especially these "men" would be there ready to intervene and try to calm things down. In contrast here they look for blood hoping to get a shot in or put a knife in some guy for fun in some situation they know nothing about. Don't expect knife guy to be in the news anytime soon. He will probably be back down there tonight with his huge knife hoping to stab someone else.

Considering all the shenanigans that happens in this street it is generally rare to find any misfortune here. I used to go every weekend back before they introduced these security guys and only 1 time I saw it kick off and a few other times almost kick off. This fat spud of a man with his fake designer pyjamas deserves to be locked up

This is totally true. Unless it is a foriegner then they will happily complain

Assuming other people will drive well and follow the rules basically. Assuming people will: not pull out in front of you know how to use a roundabout not tailgate at 100km/h stop at red lights not stop and park in the middle of the road signal before turning The list goes on and one and on really. Lane splitting "like the thais" - it's a dangerous game too but also common, legal practice here and abroad. You need to check the "lanes" of splitters in between the lanes and make sure nobody is coming. Be mindful that the shoulder or road you are in can dissapear in an instant with no warning. Don't sit in blind spots and avoid splitting between long vehichles like trucks and busses. I remember seeing 1 thai end up with a head that was as thin as a crepe after a bus ran over his face in bkk. One of the single biggest bits of advice I normally give if people ask me is to look behind you just as much as you do in front and often the danger comes from from behind with lunatics speeding and you need to know what is going on back there.
