Fresh Push to Send Thaksin Back to Jail Intensifies

You can get a sixty day extension from immigration but it costs more, I am currently doing this and applied for a non O at the same time my person handling this works at immigration she is not an agent but does visa work from home and does all the forms and photo copies for you, she told me two prices for extension and the sixty day was about five k the 30 day 2 k. Your correct that stupid airlines do not know the visa rules, to compensate for this I bought a cheap ticket to Cambodia less than 100 dollars to avoid the hassle , he could always use it and get a sixty day extension but it's cheaper to pay immigration for the extension ,rather that pay hotel fees and transport back to the LOS.

Foreign 'Mafia' Harass Tourists in Pattaya, Taunt Local Police
kiwikeith replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
when I lived in Chiang Mai a few years ago now, Burmese used to hassle people walking home from Tapei Gate. They even killed someone on a bike with a machete . The police did nothing much until all the bar owners got together and paid the police to patrol the area ,they came into the bars and signed a book every few hours , i think it cost 300 Bhat a week for each bar but it cleaned the Burmese out. -

CNG and LPG vehicles face crackdown after tragic school bus fire
kiwikeith replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yes they should be contained in some sort of fire proof chamber they could also install a fire extinguishing system that would go off if fire broke out, ships have cylinders that flood fires, but they can also kill you if your caught in the room, there may be some sort of chemical extinguishing system they could install that would flood flames as soon as fire started probably only in double decker busses and have no passengers below. In NZ you have to be certified to install LPG and CNG. -

My wifes father was killed by a drunken police driver, lucky for her there were heaps of witnesses and my wife stood up to the police and they caved in and gave her 300,000 Bhat. Not much and the cop got off. -

New Bangkok Rules Limit Street Vendors to Designated Zones
kiwikeith replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Maybe one step closer to cashless society, there are people everywhere selling fruit sweetcorn from the back of pickups, changing location every day, I dont think this is going to happen in the jungle, maybe in BK but not in the back streets. And how are they going to collect tax if they have no clue how much they turned over, ruining Thailand everyday, soon just chinese and Russians coming here and Indians to BK. Maybe an influx of hippie culture smoking dope and backpacking around, spending zilch. -

Horrific Bus Fire in Thailand Sparks National Debate on Safety
kiwikeith replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The PM has mentioned this, I hope she steps up the game. Its the most disgusting thing I have seen in Thailand and I've seen some horrors. All involved should be charged with murder or manslaughter. Where are the log books also that were promised by the previous govt, drivers of trucks ,busses and Taxis can drive unlimited hours, drinking energy drinks or whatever to stay awake, I've had cab drivers fall asleep at the wheel nearly crashing on the way down to Hua Hin. I had to get the guy to a seven and buy him some energy drinks and coffee to wake him up and then I had to watch him all the way keeping him awake. I hired him the day before when he drove me from the airport, he was a good driver so I asked him to take me to Hua Hin the next day, he drove all that night he told me , I said to him you can't do that again you kill yourself or other people . I give trucks and busses a wide berth and the mad car drivers that approach you from behind the cut in front os you, when i see them coming I get out of the way. Thailand really need to wake up the roads here are crazy and getting worse, my Soi is like a formula one race track now , it was quiet b4 Covid but its changed now to mad. I really feel sorry for the parents of those poor children, may they rest in peace.
