No.4. Advocate good driving? How about getting out and enforcing the road laws? Advocating hasn't stopped the crazy drivers, driving without a licence or insurance, death traps on the road etc. Why can they do checkpoints for drug checks and crash helmets, but not for driving licences or insurance?

Exactly! He must have upset a lot of people.

With all the recent bad weather, if lines are run on poles, strong wind can cause problems. I rarely have problems with 3BB, but did last weekend.

Have you tried updating the HiLink 3? Or googling for how to update it? I just found these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttkiXzF8Gjo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxB8oQo1Bc8 https://www.huaweiflashfiles.com/2015/11/huawei-e303-hilink-firmware-update.html You might find more. HTH

Have you updated your Line app? Sometimes they fix bugs. There was an update for bug fixes today. Also, maybe get together with someone and try calling them when you are next to one another. Obviously make sure you are both using the latest version. There is a LINE call center that you can contact for further help. 02-023-9999 https://contact-cc.line.me.th Not sure if English is available, so you might need a Thai speaker to help.

Perhaps there were personal circumstances that prevented him from extending. We don't know. 38 days isn't the end of the world, but immigration will do their job and he will be gone.. Not a nice Christmas for the old fellow, and not a good time to be sent back to the UK with all the cold weather and strikes.

There is an anti fungal pill you can get called Damisil. But better to see a doctor first.

I always hand over my boarding card with my passport to the IO on arrival. On the occasions I haven't, I have been asked for it. Because the OP only showed the second leg boarding card, they probably wanted to see his original point of departure. They don't do the landing cards anymore, so how else would they know?

I understood that all flights BKK-USM-BKK were fully booked until after the New Year. So how these tourists are going to find seats I don't know. Unless BKK Air lays on extra flights. I have a friend flying to Thailand today, but he has to stay two days in BKK due to all Samui flights being full. Seat booked for Friday. i have noticed shortages of many goods in all the supermarkets recently. Either due to logistic problems or just being snapped up by all the tourists here for the Christmas holidays.

I have been both visiting and living in Thailand since the early '90's. Also visited several other Asian countries. Including quite a few Philippine destinations. Perhaps it's because I tend to stay mainly in tourist areas, but even when I have ventured further afield I can't recall ever feeling like the 'token' white guy. Had a few double takes. But that's to be expected. Friendly people saying hello or asking where I am from. Never been asked to pose for photos. Maybe they can surmise that I would charge them. ???? Rural China might be a different kettle of fish. But I haven't been there.

Not just intoxicated. They drink until they fall of their chairs. Or bikes as in this case. I read somewhere that many Swedes, Or was in Scandinavians? also used to get like this. Something to do with the high taxes and strict controls on where and when they can buy alcohol back home. Obviously that doesn't apply here.

Story doesn't add up. The boat capsized 4.5m (15 feet) from the jetty and the victim said he would swim it. Said to who? How did they not see he was in trouble and either help or raise the alarm?

Or inadvertently opened a scuttle valve. But to be serious, was the weather really that bad to sink a naval ship that must have been built to withstand some serious storms?

You have to remember with Skype that calls and video calls to other Skype users are free. You would only need to pay if you bought a subscription package for calls to US landlines and mobile, which starts around $2.99 / month. Another option might be to get someone in the US to send you a cheap SIM from there that supports WiFi calling.

For calls to other iPhones you could use FaceTime which is already installed on iPhones. Other apps such as Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp and Skype will allow you to call others, providing they have the same app installed. Ideal for family and friends. Pretty sure you can buy a phone number on Skype that will allow others to call you. Plus they sell subscriptions for call packages. HTH

So are you saying that if already had an infection, it's recommended to get vaccinated because a second infection could possibly cause more serious symptoms? Were there any after effects from the vaccine? I thought it was a very new one.

Johnny Mathis himself was mixed race. African American and Native American. Pretty soon we could be living in a very bland world, where everyone will have to be careful of saying or doing anything that might offend someone. An impossible task as some will always find something to offend them.

I saw it the other day. Three hours is a bit long, but the special effects are amazing. It's supposed to be even better in 3D. It really does give the impression of looking at real underwater scenery and sea life. Even if they are imaginary creatures.

Here is the link that I took it from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4160292/ We are talking about Pit Bull type dogs.

There was a new bus service a couple of years ago. Disappeared with Covid. Not seen any of the buses running for a long time. As for minibuses and taxis, their prices force tourists to rent bikes. Not used a taxi for a long time, but they don't use the meter and even used to charge a service charge. Not sure if they still do.

I would have thought that a sarong type of garment would be preferable, cheaper and easier to find here in Thailand than a kilt. Even in the cooler months. Many men in the south wear them. I doubt a kilt would be that much warmer. Especially if you wear it as it apparently is supposed to be worn; without underwear.

As others have already said here, I think it is the heat that must degrade the rubber compound quicker. I thought I had found a deal on Lazada last year. Two new unused tyres for a really good price. So I ordered them. Took them to my local garage and as he fitted them a big chunk came off of one. He told me they were old tyres (2018) and the rubber had become brittle. Only three years old.

First the guy who shot himself through the face with a speargun yesterday. Now this. Why would an airport security guard need a pen gun for work?

I would imagine it involves handling everything for regular a turnover of clients. Similar to a hotel, but even more. Making sure the villa(s) is or are cleaned and prepared for new clients every couple of weeks. Including new laundry, and maybe organising a maid service or chef. Possibly airport pick up and drop off. Also handling complaints, getting faults fixed, pools cleaned, gardens kept trim. Paying bills for absent owners. A lot probably depends on the standard of villa and clients. If it an expensive super luxury, high end villa with high paying clients, you would probably have to act as a concierge as well.

In the UK: dogs are considered “pit bull type” if they meet a substantial number of 15 physical features outlined by the DEFRA and copied directly from a 1977 issue of the American periodical Pit Bull Gazette.
