EDIT: just googled it and it came to Android first with no mention of when, or if, it’s coming to IOS

Sorry. You're right, mine was android.

Yes, that’s been mentioned on here before .

Mine hasn’t updated though, don’t know why ?

Go to Google Play Store, type Google Maps and click update. A motorcycle figure will appear alongside the other travel options (car, walk, etc.)

That's a bit OTT...So folk busted for no crash hat on a bike, taking drugs has cured the problem..?

In LOS you cannot smoke in a bar but it is OK outside, well a beach is very much outside and would of thought smoking would not be much of a problem to others if smokers are responsibly for taking care of their trash. Empty beer can makes a good ash tray that can be put in a bin..

I agree.

However, impossible task No. 1: find a bin!

Try doing your report online. I did for the first time last month. Sent on Sunday, approved the following day (much to my surprise and delight).

I understand it can be hit or miss, but worth a try.

10 minutes from start of document process to printed licence is a Chatuchak LTO miracle they must have rehearsed for hours. 

See how you go next time.

One assumes they wanted a medical certificate, no reaction or line up the lights tests?

 

Yes, sorry. Med. Cert. required also (no more than 30 days old). No tests whatsoever. Naturally, O/S licence must be current. Certificate of Residence also required (30 days also)

I just got my Thai licence. Showed my passport, copies etc and my Australian licence. 10 minutes later, had Thai licence in my hand. No IDP required at DLP Chatuchak and no tests (theory or practical) to take.

Wake up wake up. Even if it's true it would be moldy old dump. And that would be 10 mins on a Mototaxi. 

 

You can't even get that deal in Pattaya unless your on the wrong side of Sukhumvit..the far side of the dark side 

 

People are so gullible! 

Give me a break. No harm in asking, right? If I need your advice, I'll ask for it thanks.

I have a nice 43 sq m condo I'm renting in Ramkhamhaeng for 6k a month. Airport train is about 10 min away.

Are there any rooms available there at the moment?

I follow an old saying (maybe Confucius) that goes something like this: "Don't dwell in the past, live for the present and dream of the future"

Stop eating and drinking and it is likely you will not get cancer.

 

Too easy, what's the problem? 

Stop breathing too, that'll do it!

I hope she drives better than she films!

Wow! With some of the sophisticated, logical solutions to the carnage on the roads, I feel a Supertramp song comin' on......

I wonder, does that include foreign 

Visa Debit cards?

What I always say is "Mai ow krab, kob khun krab". Krab alone does not mean thank you.

Recently, my doctor said I should stop smoking (light smoker about 8/day). I said what about the pollution in the air in Bangkok, should I stop breathing too? He gave me a wry smile.

If your friendly 7-11 cashier doesn't understand "Mai ow tung" (not take bag), try saying "Mai sai tung" (not put in bag). It's the Thai way 

Unfortunately, this attitude is entrenched in Thai culture. Perhaps, temporarily, they should employ a motor cyclist to escort ambulances in serious situations. At least until/if a drastic change in attitude. Even if it saves just one life, it would be worth it.

 "...were arrested along with the ecstasy pills plus eight grams of cocaine and eight grams of marijuana."

I wonder what sentence the drugs will get? 

Go girl!!

And many Jomtien residents,singles and couples ,like to jog and exercise along the beach walk. So now especially in high season this walkway is going to be occupied by two to three times the number of these obnoxious cigarette smoking slobs.

I am a light smoker. I don't believe I am obnoxious or a slob. Can you enlighten me as to how you can determine a person's character traits simply because they enjoy a puff?
