Great tip Alex

Another storm tonight for Phayao. We had strong winds and then good rain for 20mins. East of Muang Phayao would have had good rain

There is more Thunder around now. So we may get some more today I hope.

Actually Austrac has details of all amounts you send overseas. You buy a $5 product in Australia from overseas or send  $100 to Thailand. It shows up. The $10000 limit relates to deposits of cash to your account in Australia.  

You are are wrong in part. As i have stated all money transferred OS or into your account from OS is reported to Austrac. The $10,000 is only limited to passengers who are departing or arriving. Austrac is only for money being exported or imported

Good storm today in Phayao. I live on the western side of the lake. We had rain at about 1400 for about 10 minutes. I thought small but good. At about 1450 a storm hit with wind and rain. We lost power for almost 2 hours but good rain. It is not normal for storms in March in our area. Hopefully the smoke might disappear for a couple of days.

Do you want me to reactivate the tipping

Why quote figures from 2019. Since Covid every thing has changed Now the megalomaniac Putin has  tried to change more history.

What do you mean it's only for passengers? Thought I already said that $10,000 is the limit to transfer from my bank in Australia to my bank in Thailand. It's set in stone, but the crazy thing is I can transfer $10000 every day, as long as I pay the $18 transfer fee.

I was talking about Austrac reports. This is the reporting of money transferred from Australia to OS. The government requires all money transferred by bank or other institutions to be reported to Austrac. If a passenger takes money out of the country it has to be $10,000 or more before a report is made. I was not talking about the limits on banks

I am a criminal. I was a tourist guide for my visiting relatives. I hang my head in shame.

You can transfer what ever amount you want, over 10,000 has to be reported to the government - guess if you did it too often a flag would be raised and questions asked. 

You are wrong. Any amount transferred OS creates  an Austrac report. The $10,000 limit is only for passengers.

Impatient and maybe speeding by the lawyer.

I received my booster on 12/01/2022. This was at Muang Phayoa Amphur. There was Moderna also available for free that day. I initially got in the wrong line and saw Moderna line labeled. I have had 3 Pfizer shots.

I am like the author states never before sundown. I am lucky that sundown happens for 24 hours around Earth.

Thanks mate. Thought about it and I will just rent a bike from near the airport. Bag can easily go on the back

Then why ask the question. It took you 17 minutes to change your mind. Why not ask the the mods to close the thread.

American imperial power corrupting the world. Nixon invented the war on drugs then exported it. The war on drugs is a war on the people. The DEA and their corruption killed more people in Mexico than actual drugs. 

I would like to use the HaHa emoji but I cannot.

Related question - where did he buy his driving license (if he has one).

 

Ultimate point - Does he even know the traffic law saw - must stop when pedestrian about to cross/while crossing/until pedestrian is on the footpath on the others side of the road.

 

Many of my Thai outer circle feamily members are 99% ignorant/have no knowledge of all the road rules. Plus some will say 'I don't believe there should be any road rules so I do whatever I want'. 

A took took driver in Chiang Mai should know what a red/green light means. It is a tourist destination. In non tourist parts of Thailand what you say is probably true.

I used to go holidays at times on Norfolk Island in the middle of the pacific ocean. About 6000 residents. They asked your profession on arrival card and I wondered why. One trip I asked a local official and he said sometimes they needed specialised work on the island and sometimes they called upon visitors to help.

Norfolk Island is only 1000km from Australia. That is not in the middle of the Pacific. It also a part of Australia. 

It does not mater how well they are painted. Not many Thais stop at pedestrian crossing if people are crossing. I was nearly taken out by a took took in Chiang Mai with traffic lights. I had green to walk and cars stopped. The took took driver did not.

Go and see your local department of health. Take your certificate and your passport. If you do not speak Thai take a friend who speaks both languages. Good luck
