I’ve seen on Thai news couple month ago where scammers can infect phones and empty accounts in seconds even bypassing the banks facial recognition security for large transfers

Thai workers in Korea make minimum of 40-50,000 plus per month, if you put in overtime - it can easily reach 80k or more.

Long story short, wife last talked to him on Feb 20, he was suppose to go back home or March 30. Wife talks to him multiple times daily but on Feb 20 he stop picking up phone calls. Wife ask other Thais to check up on him, Thais arrive at the farm couple days later, employer said he ran away, which was unlikely - they got police to check and employer refuse entry. Police search property and found the body.

Majority of times these workers don’t send money through banks. They wire the money locally or send by cash to Thais living in Korea. And those Thais then wire the money from their thai bank accounts to the receiver. So there is usually no international transfer involved and rates rate better than banks with no fees. It’s pretty common, even for expats living in Thailand that wire small amount to like Korea, Phillipines etc.

Yes the kid is a undisciplined brat, but from the video the way the teacher talks to the kid - she used improper terms also. I can tell the teacher is also part of the problem.

If parked under the sun daily, best to remove after 2 years. If parked under the shade, safest is to remove after 3. If you keep it over 3 years, potential damage to the paint increases exponentially if you try to remove the wrap.

There was a master plan since more than 7-8 years ago where Port Authority has wanted to move the port so the land can be leased out to generate more profit, there was a few plots of underused land. There was talks of another mall, park, and condos for the area. As it’s by the river and a stones throw away from city center, it actually prime location land if they can get the project moving.

There won’t be a coup anytime soon. Deals were made which paved the way for Thaksin to come back. The military and police are not threatened by anyone, the ball is firmly in their court. MFP the party with most support is powerless, they are all very new and has no influence in anything. You might get some protest but it won’t be massive like before compare to those behind yellow and red shirts.

Well poor worker training comes from poor management …

there is no legal requirements for many things here, which is why there are so many industrial accidents. a factory that size making parts for car manufacturers should have know better and implement better safety for workers not just the bare minimum.

That factory failed in many aspects regarding to worker safety. The area where the arm should have been partitioned off to ensure nobody can enter while it’s moving. Looks like it’s easily accessible from all sides. Poor worker training which is a result in worker entering the area where machine arm can be in contact. Lots of red flags.

Immigration typically ask how long, especially if she is a single women. Since she has a tourist visa approved, she just needs to prepare and show her itinerary. Normally the migration just stamp the standard 6 months even though you are only going for 1-2 weeks. Answering you are staying 5-6 automatically raises red flags, especially if it’s her first time in US and single. Majority of tourists don’t stay that long. They will ask for all the proof of accommodation, contacts, why you need to go for that long etc. How her company would allow her leave that long, how much money she has etc. It’s better to say 1 month. Have detail list of friends name, address, phone. What her plans are weekly. You can also book hotels on agoda, which many allow free cancellation from a week to 2-3 days prior to check in. This will help establish you have a real booking, and can show the officer on agoda app. Booking for car rental / domestic plane flights helps too.

Le Cordon Bleu is very intensive. It’s good to have basic skills before you go in, I think it’s a waste if you have no basic knowledge. You are better off enrolling at small schools and try to cook from passion and learning yourself, watching videos online. Experience at hotels and reputable restaurants also helps a lot. It takes time to be proficient and experiences are invaluable for your journey. I’ve been to restaurants where owner graduated from Le Cordon Blue, hate to say some are not better than those that learn from scratch, experience, and passion. As corny as it sounds, a good cook / chef comes from within and experience it gains a long the way.

China is not logging any impressive numbers on anything, thats only if you are still comparing it with after Covid. Comparing it with precovid, it’s still doing very bad. The government even said they will stop reporting unemployment statistics in fall of this year.

Corruption within the RTP is not shocking, what’s shocking is how nothing can ever be done, corrupt police are hardly ever jailed only transfer to inactive positions, and at the end of the days it’s always a big misunderstanding.

Someone wants big joke gone fast before he lays down the hammer again.

Yes prior to 2019 it’s possible. They changed the law, no used cars allow only new cars. All the loop holes have been closed as well. End of discussion. I know several people who did so prior to 2019 legally, it wasn’t impossible. I’ve brought one used car in prior to 2019 also with the assistance of a grey market importer. Yes if you tried to do the whole process yourself, it would have been impossible.

It won’t be demolished, there is an arrangement with T21 to pass through their land now. An entry and exit is already being made as we speak.

it passes through MRT land which whichever public department that allow this arrangement should never have allowed it base on the laws.

People who complain long wait times must not have travel to US before where average waits are usually 40min or more. And immigration officers are just as bad as Thai officers. Those that complain long walks must have not travel to Germany where airports are just as far. But this ranking is hardly accurate and polling numbers way too small.

Grab use to use google map integrated in their app for navigation purposes. Since 2 years ago, for some countries they have switched to their own GrabMap and doesn’t need to rely on google maps. But whenever I take grab, the routes that are displayed on drivers grab app are usually exactly same as google maps. many times these maps don’t show small one way streets that actually avoid a lot of congestion. And during rush hour traffic these maps are not accurate due to changing traffic conditions.

It’s up to the driver, based on my experience majority of times drivers ask for it at the end of the ride since it’s communicated beforehand and most ride hailing drivers will use their easy pass for convenience sake. I suppose when it comes to tourist it’s best to get them to pay at the toll or get toll receipt too.

My driving gives me the knowledge of gps apps like google maps aren’t always the most accurate when it comes to time it takes to reach a destination. Which is why some car hailing drivers give passengers another route option, it’s not to try to ripe passengers off. Not too hard to understand.

For appliances Samsung are not known for it, LG is better and more reliable. Samsung are only know for their phone, yet their phone tend to have problems once it hits 4-5 years in average.

I believe immigration officers let the Chinese pass on purpose after they were informed by check in staff the passports were fake. That’s where the charges would be stiffer and clear that they used a forge passport to exit. Or else the charge would be only be possession of fake passport but not “use”. Thai immigration system is very up to date and complete. My wife who isn’t Thai once left Thailand with our kids, kids are Thai. On the way back to Thailand, she came without the kids - immigration officer even inquired her why kids aren’t with her. In their database they even recorded or at least her mug shot had kids in the background - hence the inquiry about kids. The Chinese in this case weren’t the smartest.
