  1. It seems that is not so easy in Thailand. I spoke with a guy who lives in a condominium. Next to him is always a lot of noise from the people who rented that unit. He told the building management and they told him they can't do much. He asked them to contact the owner. The condominium management told them they don't know the owner and they don't have any contact information. Maybe someone here knows how to handle noisy neighbors who are not the owners.
  2. She didn't pay attention to the road, traffic and other drivers. She "thought" her little smart phone woold is more important. Arrest her, prosecute her for manslaughter or murder, and make sure she stays in jail for many years - without phone.
  3. Then better stay away from the internet, and none-cash payments, registering for anything.
  4. I get what you write about unsecure WIFI. But in this case that doesn't add up. I use this app at home, with my own WiFi, since many years, and most of the time it works. Just this moment it also works, with WiFi. A couple of days ago, it didn't work, with the same WiFi. If they wouldn't want that it works with WiFi, then they could make sure it is never used with WiFi, and they could inform the user at that time. But that is not the case.
  5. Now imagine how that video would look like if the foreigner had refused to pay. Would the taxi driver be calm? Would he let the tourist walk away? Or is it more likely he would get the machete out from under the seat?
  6. I really liked the original trilogy. And because of that I watched all the newer versions. And I didn't like even one of them. I wonder how many people know a lot about the originals, and almost nothing about the rest.
  7. I guess the main reason will be fraught. If you sell coffee with cash, I guess it is relatively easy for the cashier to "forget" to type everything in the cash register. Maybe every hour 100B or 200B or maybe even more can easily get lost. If owners want to make sure that doesn't happen, then do everything cashless. In some places like i.e. coffee shops, I guess the majority of guests can easily pay with QR code and don't care if they can't pay in cash. Do I like no cash? No. Will I walk 500m to avoid it? Likely no. And with things like that I am pretty sure that people who insist on cash are only very few. Too few to make an impact.
  8. It's almost funny when some people constantly warn about the dangers of motorcycles. Every time you go out of your home there are dangers. And inside the home there are also dangers. It's part of life.
  9. How many Turo-Hayabusa doing a wheelie at over 300km/h did you see recently?
  10. In my experience riders who regularly pull wheelies know what they are doing - mostly.
  11. I would love to see how many of these new helmets will still be used in a week or a month. Somehow I bet most of them will somewhere pick up a lot of dust. Picture for reference only. 😉
  12. Reference for what? If you don't have a picture then maybe at least try to find one which resembles the written text.
  13. One or multiple temperature sensors will show you if something starts to get wrong.
  14. As far as I know it is difficult to ride bikes with side cars. It doesn't make the ride safer for anybody.
  15. You can buy one. Just ask your friendly (motorcycle) taxi guy - and bring cash.
  16. She must have been very lonely if the housekeeper makes these decisions.

  18. Until now it also worked for me most of the time. But then, not anymore, for several days. It seems Kasikornbank knows about that issue, otherwise the phone support wouldn't have suggested right away that I switch off WiFi. Maybe they should show that information instead their misleading error message.
  19. In case you really want to know: The taxi-no-meter often park in front of big hotels, i.e. on Sukhumvit Road. They park always on the same spot, multiple cars. I notice these cars every day and the police should be able to see the same. And I notice that lots of people look for taxis on busy streets like Sukhumvit. Taxis stop, the people talk to the driver, and then mostly the taxi drives away without people. Repeat that multiple times. And for many people. It's obvious what is going on. And obviously the police know this. It seems they have some incentive to look the other way. Now what could that be...
  20. Misunderstanding. My post has nothing to do with collecting money from an ATM. It's about the K-Bank app. I had those problems when I was at home when I wanted to use the app. Outside I also almost never use WIFI.
  21. But obviously that only works if the app works. Recently I had a couple of times the message that the k-Bank app can't be used because the bank is busy (message similar to that). After trying maybe 10 times without success I called their support. Their answer was that I should switch off WIFI from my phone and use the mobile phone data. I tried. And it worked. Later I switched WIFI on again and then I tried the app again, and it didn't work again. WIFI off, and it worked. Annoying!
