Really useful information and much appreciated. Exactly what I was looking for, especially the importance on pursuing the certificate and ID number. ???? KKK

I know of no country in the Western world where the cops would just unilaterally declare "Self-defense" and walk away. There would be some sort of police investigation and judicial process determining the merits of the self-defense claim. If a case such as this, with no corroborating witnesses and suspicious cause of death along with knowledge of some form of relationship between the Swiss man's wife and the deceased, the police are certainly within their jurisdiction to detain the Swiss person while they fact-find.

I received my 1st AZ jab in July at Bang Sue Grand Terminal when they were being given freely to those over 75. I'm due for my 2nd jab October 8. Has anybody reading this already done their 2nd jab there? Is the set-up there now similar to the initial set-up? Door 1, ect. I have received no communication regarding the 2nd jab nor do I have a phone no. or website to consult. Any info appreciated.

Want to know Thailand's child support system? Just picture Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, Bangla Rd, Walking Street, ect during normal times.

Just want to say that I've often had better luck with a "Somchai" (washing machine, air con, refrigerator) than with manufacturer service centers or those from retailers who only want to sell you new parts. When my Toshiba washing machine broke down, Toshiba service quoted me B3000 for parts and installation. Local "Somchai" fixed it in 2 hours, B300 including a few small parts. Lasted 5 more years and still going.

From Ekkamai take Grab/Bolt/taxi/moto to Rhamkhamheng Airport Rail Link station (about 3km). Four stops to basement of Suvarnabhumi If you really want to save money, take BTS walkway to other side of Sukhumvit and use exit 3 to street. Walk with traffic to the 7/11 BMTA bus stop. Take either the 40, 71 or 501 bus. Drops close to airport rail link station.

The PIN number problem seems to be with Debit card ATM PIN, not the PIN for the BKB ap.

They posted to my BKB ap a few days ago that they would be down for all services from 12:01 AM Saturday, Sept 25 to 12:01 pm. I just tried to do a transaction on my BKB ap after the noon deadline and got a "No internet connection" notice even though my connection was just fine. ALWAYS the customers fault.

They had an excellent selection of E-Bikes on hand though even though I called in advance, no English speaking person was on hand. If you see one in their online catalog, make sure they have one on hand before making the trip. I found one 26" model I really liked but discovered I couldn't get my leg over to get on. (I'm in my 70s) Edit: Looks like their location has changed to a more proper shop since I visited.

I bought an EMPIRE EV2 E-Bike off Shoppe last year: B12,000. Though supposedly a Thai made bike, local distributors basically buy generic OEM Chinese made frames (My frame is identical to about 20 different brands I've identified so far including the popular "lectric") and hang whatever motors and drive train parts on them that they can source cheaply. Mine has a 250 W (or is it Volt) motor and 24 inch tires. I can cruise about 10km battery only and about 40 km pedal assist. Top speed was just under 20 km/h before I hacked the control, almost 30 km/h after hack but I never go that fast as the suspension (no front shocks) and brakes (foot dragging better) aren't up to it. It's fun around town. It folds but into a really awkward configuration that makes it not really portable. It weighs close to 30 kg. Would I recommend it? No.

A friend in the Philippines laptop was dropped and destroyed. She replaced it with a refurb Toshiba A350 with Win-7 Ultimate, a 10+ year old model. It was cheap for the Philippines, equivalent of about B5500 which is what similar refurbs sell for on Lazada. She needed it for an online course she was taking and it seems to support a webcam and work ok on Zoom. The machine has 4gb ram with a Intel core duo P8600 processor running Win-7 Ultimate. Would a machine such as this support Win-10 or would it be better off just letting it be? SSD?

Has anybody here tried the YouTubeTV free trial or subscribed to YTTV? What are the advantages (in Thailand) besides ad-free viewing? Is the additional content worthwhile? Is it useable thru a VPN for international content?

If the focus is on vaccinating all levels of the local population, the "walk-in" approach makes sense as I imagine there are many Thais who just don't do that well dealing with the technology needed to make appointments. A walk-in system seems more accessible. To be sure, this has been going on for long enough for officials to be well aware of the need to prepare in advance for large crowds and have waiting areas set-up with seating and shade. Sadly, officials in the responsible positions to often just pass of the organizing responsibilities to lower level staff that don't have a clue.

Deep in the Thai-Visa archives (as well as other forums) are quite a few posts about biological fathers fighting for and successfully getting custody or joint-custody of children they had with an estranged Thai spouse or GF. These post have over the years made it clear that Thai courts are not entirely one-sided and that a fathers rights are frequently protected. What has also been clear is that getting sole custody and removing the child from Thailand is highly unlikely unless a private arrangement is made with the mother which usually involves large sums of money. Maybe some other members here will help link some of those archived posts. The search function on this forum is not very good but most posts can be found through a Google search. There are proper search terms that make it more effective. I forget the best form but maybe somebody else can provide it. I suggest you stop being so hard on yourself and stop looking upon yourself as a victim. People fall in and out of love all the time. What may have seemed to your wife to be a dream life in the UK may well have dissipated with the reality of a years day to day there along with the constant cultural issues of dealing with "farang". She re-invented herself in the past before she met you and she's doing it again. Do diligent legal research, get professional legal assistance and put yourself in a position to enjoy being a meaningful part of your daughter's life.

The video of this accident from the restaurant security camera was on Thai TV news (34) last night. It is quite clear and shows the accident in it's horrifying entirety. The clip was re-played about ten times so I was able to get a really good look at what happened. The motorbike with the boy driving and girl on the back had completed the right turn onto the roadway from the restaurant and were proceeding straight ahead. The motorcycle came in from the left side of the frame 3 or 4 seconds later at VERY HIGH speed and plowed directly into the rear of the motorbike violently. bodies flying. The motorbike DID NOT cut in front of the motorcycle. When they turned right onto the roadway, the motorcycle was very possibly not even yet visible as it was clearly travelling at such a high rate of speed, it wasn't even close yet. The cover-up by police for one of their own is already on. The police statement I read today says they dont' know who was driving which bike and that the dead cop was known as a careful driver.

The original Boston Patriots were field-less orphans for most of their early years: Fenway Park, BC Stadium, Nickerson (BU) Field and probably a few more. The most hilarious piece of public graffiti I recall ever seeing was generated by this situation. The Patriots wanted to be in Boston itself but no existing stadiums were suitable. There were also pushing for public funding for a new stadium as many other cities were doing. One very popular site proposal was the site of a huge, conical garbage incinerator, just off the fabled Southeast Expressway in Dorchester. There was huge public and political pressure to fund a stadium with the Pats threatening to move to another city if not built but the Boston City Council had the wisdom and guts not to encumber the city with tens of millions of dollars (serious money then) in debt and turned it down flat. Patriots fans were predictably enraged and one night a group of them (shades of the Boston Tea Party) snuck onto the incinerator site and somehow managed to write in huge letters: "The Boston City Council Garbage Bowl" The Patriots did end up moving, but only 25 miles out to suburban Foxboro, surviving the dysfunctional Sullivan and Orthwein ownerships to become the team that it is now. The City of Boston happily sailed on, not having to pay for a stadium like those that became financially disastrous white elephants for so many other cities.

As a Pat's fan, I can go back to freezing my butt off during a snowstorm in Fenway Park as the then Boston Patriots lost 24-14 to the Jack Kemp QB'd Buffalo Bills for the 1964 Eastern Division Championship. Buffalo had a bulldozer fullback named "Cookie Gilchrist" who nobody could stop Our seats were along the 1st base line where the Pat's bench was. 4th quarter when all was lost, a major snowball fight broke out amongst the Pats players and us fans. Kemp went on to be a Congressman and Vice-Presidential running mate with Bob Dole in 1996.

I'm well aware most squash players look disdainfully down their patrician noses at RAQUETBALL but during it's brief, one decade lifespan it probably saved me from stress related self destruction while trying to keep my business alive during back to back recessions. I joined a club with well organized leagues. A 90 minute session would drain away every iota of tension and helped me loose 30 lbs. Rising urban real estate costs really killed it plus it was a hard game to get beyond a certain level without forgetting everything else in your life but it was fun and I still miss it.

NFL fans of a certain age will remember what is still one of the saddest ever pictures in football: Y.A. Tittle, the one time iron man QB for the old New York Giants, sitting, dazed looking, blood trickling down his face, after being Intercepted and leveled for a game winning TD by the Pittsburg Steelers. It would seem an inglorious end for a warrior such as he and many other greats over the years but most old warriors prefer it this way, going down fighting rather than just fading off a roster. TB gave me so many wonderful years as a Patriots fan, I begrudge him nothing in Tampa Bay. The business of pro-football today doesn't reward loyalty. He earned the right to cement his place as the GOAT that he indisputably is. Like Y.A., it will probably take one big hit to bring him down and give age it's inevitable due, but I wish for him that he can continue to shine like the true star he is as long as the spirits of the 50 Yard line will allow.

You talkin' 'bout my $99 Home Depot "Ridgid" biscuit joiner? "Crappy" doesn't do it justice. I sold it for $15 'cause I felt guilty.
