  1. Here are a couple of articles which might explain why they are having difficulties finding a suitable interpreter:- The first link carries a story of how their original interpreter was attacked in the street after representing them and then was subsequently charged with drug offences by the RTP - not exactly going to have people queuing up to help them after that. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/courts/2016/06/01/bombing-suspect-interpreter-arrested-after-telling-court-i-worry-about-my-life/ The second link tells, amongst other things, how the court tried to appoint an interpreter provided by the Chinese government which the defendants disagreed with but were told by the court to suck it up. https://www.benarnews.org/english/news/thai/no-interpreter-08172021161730.html
  2. Absolutely disgusting, how could somebody do that to a child?
  3. I can't help wondering what tasks she was hoping he would perform for her. Definitely sounds like Thai soap opera material.
  4. Looking at the photo it appears it was bring your child to work day.
  5. If they truly respected the law then why did they do nothing for almost 20 years.
  6. Lot easier to spot that many potholes in daylight than it is to see a single pothole on a dark road.
  7. Unfortunately I wasn't so lucky when I visited a Samsung Service centre. I had a problem with my phone where I couldn't hear what the person calling was saying but they could hear me. I took the phone to a service centre and they replaced a part, charged me just over 1k and said it came with a six month warranty. A week later I had exactly the same problem again so I took it back. I was told that it was now a major problem, would cost 5x as much to fix and I would lose all my data. When I asked why it wasn't being repaired for free under the warranty I was told because its a different problem. So, displays exactly the same characteristics but now its a different problem?

    AI

    Earlier today I was looking at the description of an hotel on Agoda. At the end of the description, there was the following sentence "[Some content may be Generative AI assisted. Inaccuracies may occur.]" Does this now mean that if you book an hotel and when you arrive you find it doesn't match its description that there is no comeback on the hotel, they just tell you, tough, it was AI generated so it's not our fault? Why on earth would they need an AI generated description in the first place? Surely they know what amenities they have and what the rooms look like?
  9. No idea, ask arick, he posted it, I just replied to him. No idea why it would show me as the poster.
  10. My guess is (and it's only a guess) that all online notifications are handled at the same place and a central database gets updated. If you look at the rejection notice I received, it was dated 31st of August, which was a Saturday, and Khonkaen immigration doesn't open on a Saturday
  11. I use Khonkaen when I attend in person but when you submit online it doesn't specify a particular office.
  12. TM.47] (PASSPORT NO : 124749081) FORM FOR ALIEN TO NOTIFY OF STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS HAS BEEN REJECTED Thai Immigration noreply-tm47notify<at>eservices.immigration.go.th Sat, 31 Aug, 09:10 to me Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected. For first-time requests of a 90-day notification in each country visit, in-person presentation at the immigration office is required. Full Name : xxxxxxxxxxxx Passport No : xxxxxxxxxxx Nationality : xxxxxxx Kind regards. That's what I received when I tried to do my report online after being out of the country for 3 weeks.
  13. Yes, 2022 in the Na Klang area which is in Nong Bua Lamphu province.
  14. But still too complicated for you to comprehend - the jilted boyfriend killed the man, he didn't kill the woman. Although the fact that the story refers to the dead man as being the husband and also the ex-husband doesn't help.
  15. https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/22/singapore-doubles-down-executions
  16. A few strokes of the rotan is the least of his worries if he's been smuggling meth.
  17. Maj Gen Chalermchai Wirunpeth is named in the full story at https://tna.mcot.net/english-news-1421440 in fact, he's the only one that's named.
  18. Where was it reported that there was debris on the road?
  19. " When the rescue divers arrived, they quickly developed a plan." "As they were about to execute their plan, a military camouflage sleeve emerged from the water before quickly disappearing." I guess we'll never get to know what their cunning plan was.
  20. Can I remind you that an exclamation mark ends a sentence and the next word, in this instance 'because', should start with a capital letter. As a pedant I'm sure you'll appreciate my pointing this out.
  21. Whilst I think the whole thing is a storm in a teacup, the idea that the leader of the country doesn't understand the procedure for declarations after how many years as an mp is laughable (or very worrying, take your pick).
  22. Yes, I know that Herpes Zoster is the correct name for shingles, did you miss the part in my post where I said I looked it up? The point was about my thinking I had Herpes, it wasn't about the doctor's mastery or not of English.
  23. Didn't he previously promise to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it?
  24. I first had shingles around 10 years ago, I didn't know what it was at the time so I went to a private hospital in Khonkaen where a young lady doctor took one look at the rash and said "I know what that is, it's Herpes Zoster". All I heard was the "Herpes" part and all pain from the shingles disappeared as I thought about the prospect of having herpes. Meanwhile, the doctor was chatting away with my wife, so I interrupted her and asked her to say it again. No change, it's Herpes Zoster, so at that point I engage Mr Google and see that it's actually shingles. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or slap the doctor for telling me I had herpes. Really severe pain for just over a week and then another 4 weeks for it to clear up, since then I have had it two more times but never as bad as the first one. The rash had started at my groin and then travelled around to my back. According to my wife, the wise people of the village called it "moo sawat" and said that if the rash made a complete circle around my waist I would drop dead. Not sure if that was just wishful thinking on her part.
