My formula for Thailand expat success: 1. Thailand Elite Visa 2. > 1 Million USD earning monthly income 3. Lao Wife

I don't want fares to increase or it to become burdensome but these changes could be a net positive if they make ride sharing safer without becoming onerous. However, my concern is that these proposals will cost drivers more money in registration fees and if they can't make it up through fare increases they'll be less of them. Perhaps that is the real intent. Thailand loves making laws that overlap with existing ones without considering if they should discontinue the original it's meant to replace or amend. This creates double and triple paperwork; wasting time and money but keeping the government serfs employed. If they return to solely taxi meters without Uber-type technology I'll leave the country and probably go to Vietnam.

Thailand is slowly devolving back into a Third World country.

What a great idea for a nation with a reproduction rate far short of what's required to maintain it's population. Give them all the PrEP injections instead and provide comfortable bedding to fight the existential threat.

I got a hair transplant In Bangkok 5 years ago and it worked out well, though I had to go to an American doctor to touch up my hairline and make it look more natural.

I've gotten milkshakes there many times and never had an issue.

A little while back someone on here suggest Phone2. I paid for the lifetime membership and it's been meeting my needs thus far. It has a few annoying quirks like the voice output freezes if your phone goes to sleep (with the android phone app) but that can be managed.

Are people still updating the TM30 every time they depart and arrive in Thailand (Internationally)? My landlord lets me take care of the TM30 myself and I've been doing that online but not sure if immigration even cares?

The complete disregard for road rules in Thailand is what keeps it in 3rd world status despite many other advances.

I was planning to go to Chiang Mai for a few days. Just the old city. I read taking 200 mg Doxycycline is effective for Scrub Typhus but not sure at what point I would take it though.

I have seen this so many times in Pattaya it does not seem newsworthy.

I'm in no way blaming the pedestrian but her lack of self-awareness for a person living in Bangkok can be deadly. The scenario where cars are stopped and obstructing the view of cars in another lane shown in the video is very, very dangerous here given that they ignore crosswalks and even speed up when the see you trying to cross. If I see an oncoming car has not begun decelerating as I cross the street I always assume they will not be slowing down and let them pass or run.

Just sell Pattaya to India and move on.

He was probably watching TV on a small monitor installed below the 7 amulets dangling from his rearview mirror obstructing his view as he scrolled through possible matches on a dating site with a phone in one hand. Thai taxi drivers are among the most distracted I've seen anywhere and I'm surprised there are not far more accidents of this nature.

Thai teens trying to act hardcore rarely ends well.
