Ok thanks, my experience is from last year. Last year when getting my yearly extension they saw the stamp I guess, I was out for a week and had a re-entry.

I believe Jomtien immigration has a particular approach to this one, read about it many times and they do demand it.

Went out on a family holiday in January, and once back in Pattaya wife tried to do a TM30 report at immigration and it was absolutely packed, huge line stretching out on the sun, we just gave up. Btw the house isn't ours, but wife has copies of all documents needed. I'm on a marriage/family extension due in September. Last year I also missed out on a TM30 and they gave us an earful. I don't really mind paying the fine. The choices I have are apparently: A- Go do in person on a not so busy day. B- Don't do it and get busted again on extension day. C- Use the website tm30.io - although it seems honest I feel a bit awkward giving passport and other documents, they aren't really an official immigration service. My driver's license expires in a couple months, I think I'll need to visit immigration to get a residence certificate, wonder if the TM30 has any effect on this. I would really love to sort it without having to go there.

Some people might think you're joking but it does actually make sense. There are not only drivers that don't stop but no matter how many zebra crossings you got (Pattaya beach road for example) there are still tons of pedestrians that will cross anywhere they please, even there are zebra crossings less than 40m away.

It was probably better to not have sent this email. She will likely be reprimanded for leaving her duty to take of a problem that has nothing to do with the business and cost them time and money from other potential customers.

Exactly. The main thing I was looking for in the article is which Powerbank model/brand, but of course is nowhere to be seen. It should be a specific ban like they did for the Galaxy Note 7 years ago. But yes, more likely it will cause a widespread ban on good powerbanks just because of ONE out of many millions that fly every year.

Exactly, tour buses just seem to drive and park wherever they please, it looks like they're totally above any traffic laws.

Nah, screw that. If I paid for a flight to a specific destination that's where I want to go. If bad weather is an excuse it better be a damn typhoon at least.

The pump assistant look like a 15 year old kid. Not really his job to confront an enraged adult taxi driver, is it?

Very disrespectful thing to do in Thailand. I would never

My pet peeve with Lazada are the products that are using brand names while being fake. They add "Panasonic", "Philips" etc in the title and description and sell random generic low quality stuff. Lazada completely ignores my reports on these products and often delete my negative reviews too - I guess this is why they can keep close to 5 stars average on reviews.

I've researched and it was a cargo airplane carrying 270 tonnes. Part of this very heavy weight wasn't secured and "went through the bulkhead and disabled two hydraulic systems, making the aircraft uncontrollable." Still, nothing to do with a small (and fixed, not shifting) imbalance between passengers on different parts of the plane. They just want another way to charge more money, that's it.

So how is it possible that in like 100 years of commercial flights passengers haven't being weighted and I haven't heard of a single airplane crash in which the cause was a bad weight distribution?

Still, I'm quite sad that it ended this way and her morals are quite commendable. Unlike most people she actually did care about disappointing her friend and family. But still, taking her own life about such a minor mishap shows that this world is too harsh for the poor lady.

Not defending the criminals, but to kill yourself over being scammed for 18k...too sensitive for this world unfortunately.
