  1. There is no 'cause and consequence' taught as part of schooling or parenting here, very little thought is given to 'what happens if I do this'. I ride a motorbike here in Bangkok (15 years now) and you need to watch for the possible 'actions' of everyone at all times.
  2. The one you mentioned on Thong Lo still has three experienced and mature guys doing barber work, and all are great, I have been going to that barbers for years, i love it.
  3. It was very clearly reported in the Op, as: 'He noted that the case is particularly troubling as some women involved were unaware they had been filmed or that the footage had been shared online.'
  4. I can highly recommend watching from Jack's Bar, it is at the boat pier next to the ShangriLa Hotel. You will need to book or get there early. Best prices for drinks and great food. I watched the fireworks there two years ago for NY, the launch barges are just 150m away.
  5. An evil vindictive woman, I hope the old lady and family see justice done.
  6. That would be the PhayaThai to Suvarnabhumi line
  7. The '26' is because it is in the 26th sub soi of Ramkamhaeng. It is a mostly Thai area, also with a big University. It depends what you want it for, rental/investment or for you to live there. If it is for you to live in, where do you have to go for work? This is far from the main Sukhumvit area, so only useful if you work in that area. There is a lot of traffic in this area and no BTS/MRT at present (coming I believe). If it is for investment/rental, it is an OK area as many Thai's to rent it and also many Uni students. You would need to check the rental values of the building at the noticeboards in the building or online. It will not be high rental rates.
  8. I lived in OnNut Soi 17 for many years, we had many snakes on the Moobaan, most of those were venomous.. That looks like a Banded Kukri snake.
  9. GoogleMaps is your friend...
  10. Fabulous photos, I can imagine that was quite a trip, well done
  11. I have been here many years and have not heard of this requirement. I have had many renewals and almost always from a different address, no one at the DLT ever mentioned anything.
  12. This may be the one near to Golden Mount Temple:
  13. Interesting report (or maybe advertorial?), will give some of those a try. My research so far gives me these, in my personal preference order: 1. STAX Burger - Asoke 2. Beast & Butter - Thing Lo 3. Easy Burger - OnNut (next to Cheap Charlies and Phrom Phong 4. Smizzle Burger - near K Village 5. Prime Burger - many 6. Rose Lane Burger - Phra Kanong I have heard many great things about Beef Cheese Bun, a food-stall at Suk Soi 48, but am yet to try Maybe soi 26? Tel 0971292922
  14. Many thanks to the Op @cliveshep for starting this thread, very useful, sensible and probably timely for many of us, a good call-to-action to dedicate some thought and action to this delicate subject. Some very useful responses, info and links. Specifically happy with the link to Amar Retatriations, the idea of pre-paying for the cremation is perfect, takes a lot of burden off of grieving f&f.
  15. The term AI is so horribly overused at present, as Blockchain was a couple of years ago. This activity seems more about CCTV than AI, nowhere is it explained what the AI part is doing. I suggests that the AI is doing analysis of whether a crime has taken place, but it is not clear... This bit sounds like 'manpower' more than 'AI'... 'These images, along with the vehicle registration details, were sent to the City Law Enforcement Office to track down the owners for fines'.
  16. Quote: "Responding to a distress call, law enforcement officials arrived promptly at the condo' "The officers estimated that she had been dead for approximately two hours before they arrived at the scene" ?
  17. I fly into BKK between 2 and 5 times each month, Immig varies every single time, depends on the time of day, the flights that came in just before you, day of week, how many Immig officers called in sick that day, etc etc, it's pot-luck...
  18. Hi I use a Thai Book Keeper here, her English is basic, but she works very well. If this is of interest, PM me.
  19. I know of a small rental company that does long-term rentals. Nong: nongthatphon11 AT gmail.com Not sure if they deal in the 3-4 mio THB type cars, I think mostly Toyota and Honda models.
  20. I use a barber in ThongLo, 120 Baht, been that price for at least the last two years, and 100 Baht for a shave. Same price for all customers. Further up the road, one of the trendy actor-owned branches charges 460 baht for a cut.
  21. I assume that to make these effective, then the doors and windows must be kept closed? I imagine if not then you are in a never ending process of new dirty air coming in? I ask as I like the idea, but live in a condo and have the balcony doors open all day (screens closed though...).
  22. I have been using the dental clinic in Samitivej Hospital, in Sukhumvit Soi 49, for a couple of years now, after poor or expensive service in some of the places mentioned above. I have been very satisfied with the work and pricing (general check-up's, one Root Canal etc).
  23. Approx: Airport Fee 50 THB Tolls 60 THB Fare 300 THB max You can now also use Grab. Better car but 20% more expensive
  24. If you want something small, then both the Oriental and the Shangri-La do dinner-cruises on the old rice-barge type boats, only about ten tables on each cruise, goes down to the Royal Long-Boat marina and back again. Small, intimate, great food, but pricey, of course.
