Jetstar flight fiasco: Passengers grounded as 24 hour delays soar
Would any of you moaners have liked to fly on a plane with leaking hydraulics? I think I would rather stay in the hotel and use the food vouchers offered. I have flown Jetstar many times Bangkok to Melbourne and back, mostly without any problems except during the epidemic where, once, was delayed 8 hours and was provided accommodation and food. As I say, better safe than sorry.

Travel With Children Without Spouse
I have, on many occasions, brought my step son's son, who lives with my wife and I in Thailand, to Australia to visit with his dad. Most times I have his dad sign a letter, plus a signed copy of his passport, giving his permission for this to occur. Only one time have I ever needed to use the letter.

I questioned the immigration officer present who replied that if the boy is tall enough then that's OK. TIT

Viral Video of Foreigner Urinating Off the Back of a TukTuk in Phuket Enrages Thai Social Media Users
Up here in the mid north things are different. That vehicle would be a song taew. A tuk tuk here is an old single cylinder flat bed that makes a noise like it's name. The three wheel things are called Sam laws, I.e. three wheels, not tuk tuks

Passport run out of pages but due for visa extension 30/12
At Tha Li, The border to Loas, they had a form which they attached to my passport which was full. This enabled me to do the border hop and then apply for a new passport. Vientiane denied that they had a form so I went to Tha Li who had told me about the form on a previous occasion.

App for calling Thailand to Australia
You need to deposit an advance of say $20 which can have auto top up. You dial any number direct and the charge is very very little. If the recipient has Skype, which most businesses have? Then the call is free.

Fatal accident: Mother killed, son injured after motorcycle collision with two pickup trucks in northeast Thailand
Not according to the article. She swerved to avoid his truck which was moving lanes, presumable into her lane, and hit the back of his truck. Sounds like he moved into her lane without seeing her.

How can I make cost-effective or free calls to overseas landline numbers from Bangkok?
Skype. You establish a credit and then use it the same as you would a land line. Incredibly cheap.
