  1. Hello, Sorry to bring this up again but looking for more recommendations. My Royal Enfield needs some love (servicing + leak of brake fluid). So as the OP, looking for some qualified mechanic to do the job. Where should I go ? Thanks for any input, cheers
  2. Very sad that people still fall in those traps. I knew it waw illegal but never looked too much further. This article made me do it. So, for consumption, the max legal rate is 15% (annually as per banking standards) . Let's do some maths, 200 for 10000, that's 2% ... per day. Annually it makes a 730% rate, almost 50 times the legal maximum rate. No worries !!! Information found in the Civil and Commercial Code, Loans (Section 650-656), Section 654.
  3. Saw that in Chiang Mai Ram the other day. It's for a Dengue vaccine. Wonder if it works ? Anybody know something about it ?
  4. I wonder if they approched shipowners to know if there is interest in such a project. Would they prefer needing 2 vessels instead of one on the existing Singapore route ? Would the unloading, transfer and loading really be quicker than the existing route ? And would they trust Thais during the transfer ? I doubt it's a viable solution. A canal would be a better solution regarding viability but will for sure deteriorate relations with Singapore.
  5. For artificial intelligence you need natural intelligence. So Thailand... well sorry !
  6. Here we go again... And not a word about TEACHING people how to drive, just repression. Why not teach them how to properly drive first than come with repression. And the goal of 12 is laughable, it's Russia's 2019 average. Not appealing to me. Why not aim at 6 (about EU average) ? Thailand stood at 32.2 in 2019, first of asian countries.
  7. At street value (50-100 BHT?) that's a big stack of cash. Some luxury second hand cars for sale soon ?
  8. All around the world prices increase from much, to a lot, to s...loads depending the country. I don't see how and why Thailand should be a safe heaven for price increase. I find it's just delayed compared to western countries. Pork has gone up a lot, cooking oil too, fuel has increased although being capped by the government... Just name it, it's all up. Normal that the electricity bill goes up too, it was to be expected. Hard to remember 100% but I think we are now paying something like 5% more than 10 years ago, normal it goes up to me. Just my 2 cts... Cheers!
  9. Yeah, looks nice but wonder if designers know what a flight attendant does. It consists of a lot of walking... And as said above, in case of emergency might not be the best outfit.
  10. Hello, Interested in the topic as I hesitate to protect the car with some wrapping. Any real experiences lately? I've just asked a quote to Jicko carwrap. Seen wrap pro too but never like when businesses need to call themselves pro 😁 (just like "the best pizza in the world" for pizzerias) So any experience updates would be very appreciated. Cheers
  11. Dear Paopoom, this will never happen with the level of corruption Thailand has. Maybe you can convince your fellow nationals but forget anything international. People (outside Thailand) are not stupid.
  12. I'm gonna start living in a camping car, how do I report ? This TM30 is total useless, just a pain in the bip for normal people (reported and reporters). While it's an easy game to go under the radar for bad people (to keep immigration vocabulary). Was hoping they would cancel this farce but with a new system I guess it won't happen for a few years. I have 2 houses, each in different provinces. I only report in the province where I do my extension and never (and never will) report in the other one. For what ? Just more administrative useless bs. The only thing this TM30 did to me, is me going much less in hotels as it's always a pain to notify that you're back home (if you remember). So stupid !
  13. Has anybody got in already ? The old version, with the excel type form was so unclear if the data had gone through or not. And it was not the most intuitive form I've encountered on the net. Hope the new one will let go the "Thai" logic for a more international logic ????
  14. Good move considering the raise of costs of living. But here up North (probably elsewhere but I talk about what I know) , the people still get 300 (250 for woman) per day for harvesting. It's been like that for more than 10 years and never changes.
  15. Above is right, Flualprazolam is a benzodiazepine drug, so is diazepam, flurazepam, halazepam, prazepam, lorazepam, lormetazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, adinazolam, alprazolam, estazolam, triazolam, climazolam, loprazolam, midazolam and more. You can see the termination is same to all. "olam, pam, lam" termination of drugs means it's in the benzodiazepine family. Some of these are well known under their brand name, like diazepam is Valium. If mixed with alcohol, reactions can be much unwanted. You get high or very sleepy or very nervous, depending on each individual. But they don't go well together for medicinal use, recreational use is different at your own risk ????. So why forbid just one ? Are you going to forbid all benzos ? Again, some strange Thai logic... Or just incompetence ? Not saying all should be banned, far from that, but what is the goal in forbidding one ? Throw 10mg of Valium in a beer, drink it and see the result...
  16. Must be fun to see but i'll be sticking with this ???? :
  17. Before Facebook, that has some kind of moderation, shut down Line, it's full of illicite activities, fake news and no moderation... And is sadly very popular
  18. Do they supply the cheese ? Sorry, I had to do it... Ok, I'm out ! ????
  19. ... wherein the police effectively confiscated a Rolls-Royce car Take it, it's crashed anyway ???? Edit : just too slow 555
  20. Hello, A little update on the subject of importing, might serve others too. I did another try from Bike24, ordered a bike travel bag (Evoc). I paid EUR 411.- in total. As the previous order, got the greenish form from post office but no numbers were written on it. Thought at first, cool, no tax to be paid... But no... Actually the parcel was at the Custom's house, not the local post office. So went there to get the parcel. First question was what is it and how much is it worth. I probably could have lied but just sticked to the truth and said it was EUR 400.-. When telling them that is was a bag, they kind of looked amazed by it size and asked further for what use it was. I answered it was a bicycle bag. They replied that, as it was a sports bag, the tax wasn't 30% but only 20%. So I ended up paying 4'260.- import duties (including VAT). Interesting is that the VAT is calculated on the estimated value + import tax. In that case, I ended up paying VAT 2 times, one in Germany and one in Thailand. I guess that depending on the seller/coutry, you could try to avoid paying VAT in the foreign country as you pay it in Thailand. But it could turn out to be quite difficult or impossible, I didn't try to contact Bike24 in that regard and will not, too much time consuming. Keep rolling !
  21. I hope TAT hires ladyboys for the Riyadh's office, they'll have the time of their lives ????????
