I used Mediclinic last year, just under 3000 they provided an official paper good for flying. In my home country in Europe, it cost the equivalent of 2200B at the time (next day result).

I don't play football myself, but I have often see relatively organized amateurs (I mean, teams with same color tricot) train and play in the field opposite from the main stadium in the 700y complex. If you don't know, ask for the track-and-field or petanque, it's at the top of a small road leading up from the main circle road. Perhaps you could ask there. However, the whole facility was being refurbished during Covid, I am not sure it's re-opened by now.

Chiang Mai, at 700y, 50m pool about 1.5-2m deep, you can expect these temps mid-morning -early Dec 26C -early Jan 25C -early Feb 24C from there it goes up, I have measured up to 33C in Apr/May Rest of the year about 29-30C Needless to say, there are also year-to-year differences, I have seen as low as 22C. More shallow/deep pools will have different daily thermal cycles of course, a kid's pool 50cm deep will feel very cold early morning but pleasant in the afternoon if exposed to the sun also in the cold season.

Just say you hate Anutin, period. If you really want to comment on the specific piece of news, then read it first and try to comprehend it before spouting nonsense.

Maybe you are right, the man was a weirdo, a ticking clock that sooner or later would have committed something abominable regardless of whether he was a member of police or not. But the point remains, and very worth bringing up, that he was found out in breach of police code several times over several years (I read it in an early article from the newspaper that cannot be quoted here), including drugs but also violence, shooting in public places, harassing the public as well as colleagues. And the police always covered for him - until it was too much. Heads will roll.

Do you have evidence that the compensation amounts were decided by Prayut personally? As for those claiming he is there just for photo-op, how tiresome bashing has become on this forum. Not that I like the man, but he did what any other PM in the world would have done under similar circumstances.

If you refer to vibrations while driving on the straight, ok. But stable also means capable of holding the road in case of bumps, sudden accelerations, braking, change of lane. Having had both Click and Aerox, there's no doubt to me that Aerox is a much more stable scooter (speaking of Click 125).

The Nmax and PCX share a design with lower seat and "armchair feeling", which I personally dislike but might be attractive to some. Also the forward footrest position, which is however only suitable for short people. The Aerox has a more "sporty" and higher seat position, partly copied in the ADV. Usually dealers don't have models to try out (well, once I was offered to ride one in the 50m parking space behind the dealer). But it's a good investment to rent out one for a day.

I have had 3 Clicks and 2 Aerox, I also drive sometimes my wife's G.Filano. All new from dealer. I have had very few problems, all of them with the Clicks. e.g., all 3 Clicks would need tyre inflating every few weeks, the Aerox 1-2/year. Admittedly the Aerox is in another league in terms of price& performance, but lighting switches?? As for engine, give me a break. The Aerox 155 from 2021 has 155cc, and 15HP. The latest ADV/PCX 160 has 156cc(!), and also 15HP but at a higher RPM and they are heavier. How's that better?

I remember they had a huge sale in the days before KSK closed down, so I suspect they just closed for good. There are many similar ones. e.g., at Airport Plaza on the ground floor just a few meters behind the Nana bakery.

More accurately, China has a "high speed" (so to speak) train in Laos. Huge difference.

Thailand again tonight 8pm, against Canada. Tough job but not impossile. All the best!

Another example of how a simple question becomes a cloud of tangent discussions on this forum. @ubonjoe and @DrJack54gave the answers at the top. UK passport renewals and Cambodian banks could be addressed elsewhere please.

There we go with the typical stereotypes. Were you there with the OP and the IO, do you actually know what went on between them? Besides, you don't seem to have much experience with the complications set up by immigration in other countries, lucky you. If anything, I'd say this thread shows how this forum can make a huge confusion with too much information, often contraddictory and sometimes incorrect, out of a relatively simple subject. One problem is that the forum has an absolutely abysmal archive search capability, a lot of identical questions come up over and over and over again.

Do we really need these Thai-bashing posts at every Buddhist holiday? Especially from people who talk about "the rest of the world" without having any clue.

To get back to CM: flooding due to Ping overflow, reported today in several areas along the river, Chang Klan, B11 underpasses.

OP, some time ago I came across this. It appears to be on the luxury side, and not so close by (18km), but perhaps it gives you some additional perspective. Their site has plenty of info on rates, specialized care, etc. I have no direct experience with them.

ok, but there are circumstances. e.g., recently it's been raining occasionally dogs and cats in CM, to the point that some intersections/underpasses were suddenly closed to traffic for a while, or at least impossible for small scooters. Also, I remember one morning that Airport Plaza (with many take-out restaurants) had its main m/cycle parking closed. I don't say this is what's happening to the OP (he mentions that it happens to him every time that it's raining, which seems a bit weird), but if the delivery driver cannot reach the restaurant or the customer, I think cancellation after a while is not so strange. Perhaps with a customer able to chat in Thai they can explain the reasons better.

The first statement is correct - though "a lot" is subjective. There is one additional difference, which is probably not relevant to you: with "marriage" you can in principle work legally in Thailand, subject to obtaining a work permit. With "retirement", you are barred from doing so. Your notes and quotations from Imm do not make much sense. Perhaps you should go there with your wife to avoid being lost in translation? Anyway, the long and short of it is that with marriage you need to deposit (one time only, and keep it) 400k, with retirement 800k. There are ways to use part of this deposit and replenish it at various phases during each year between extensions, but if you can just deposit and forget it would be the simplest. There are also alternatives, like transferring some amount each month. Careful, as this needs to be properly documented to satisfy Imm. One-time deposit OR monthly transfers, not both. If "marriage", make sure you are legally married in Thailand. Some people think they are married after some ceremony in a village temple, which is not sufficient. About your second statement "...low value now" : Low compared to what? GBP to Baht is currently about 42, stable in the last month. It has been on average 43 in the past year as well as in the past 5 years. Don't hold your breath waiting for it to reach 60 or higher as many years ago.

I have lived in places where I experienced -65C, and others with +50C. "Feeling cold" (or hot) is a very subjective thing which is not necessarily related to outside temperature. It depends how well you are prepared for it. In Thailand, I have been driving at night on Doi Inthanon in winter, +4C, and feeling damn cold inside the car (aircon only cold settings, not heating, of course) with relatively poor clothing and windows a crack open to avoid fogging. In CM, we use a light blanket to sleep in winter at home for 1-2 months, that's good enough.

They just read their ruling: the clock started in 2017.

We have already established that you and I live in two Chiang Mai's located in alternate universes. Actually, as far as I can tell from your posts, you don't even live in Chiang Mai itself. In my Chiang Mai, no rain in the past two days and the only flooding in recent weeks was a flash flood neat Immigration, it lasted a few hours.

It depends on the area. Nimman area: 9. Night Bazar area: 2. Old town inside the moat: 6-7. Shopping malls, restaurants: 10 (but we lost a few of both). Traffic: 9. Red buses and tuk-tuks, unfortunately, a solid 8. IMO this is a great time to visit CM: very affordable hotels, most activities as pre-Covid, about half of usual non-chinese tourists, about 0 of usual chinese tourists. Night life so so, not that I would know, but then CM has never been the place for that. Clean air, no extensive flooding, pleasant temps.

I especially love their attitude, always smiling whether point or mistake. Compare that with some other teams where the ladies seem like bulldogs on the leash.

btw, all results and match schedule can be found here. The "highlights", about 5-min recap of each game, can be easily found on you tube for free. The full games, including replay of past ones, can be watched with a rather cheap subscription via streaming from the same site. The games in which Thailand is playing are shown live on public TV channels, though you need some patience as the exact TV channel changes every time. Next one this evening, THA-KOR, 7pm our time.
