German Tourist Charged 1,000 Baht for Parking SUV on Phuket Beach
Confuscious replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Good to see the hunt for foreigners is still on. When will foreigners be required to stick a "Star of David" on their chest to identify themselves as "Personna Non Grata"? Kick the UNELECTED GOVERNMENT out of their offices and make NEW elections. Thailand is becoming the shame of the world with this government. -

Thailand Customs to Apply VAT on All Postal Imports
Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I don't know everything about VAT, but in my understanding VAT is a Tax on the ADDED VALUE. As sending something by post or a similar carrier is not adding to the value of the item, there is no VAT to be paid. If the VAT was paid in China, when sending the package to Thailand the VAT paid on China could be reclamed back. Same like when you buy something in thailand and export this to another country, you can reclaim the VAT paid in Thailand back at the airport. Or am I wrong? If Thailand wants to apply an additional IMPORT tax on all postal packages, that's a complete different thing and I am not sure that other countries would be happy with that. -

Drunk Driver Kills Traffic Policeman at Bangkok Charity Event
Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
This is the same all over the world. Not only in Thailand. I remember a case where a policeman was murdered by a drunk driver in Belgium and the case was not even reported in the newspapers. The driver was a member of the national football team. -
Drunk Driver Kills Traffic Policeman at Bangkok Charity Event

Unfortunately, this taxi driver was not driving a Ferrari. Otherwise he could have done a runner. -
There is no image "A" or "B". Most of the posters have figured that out without further questions. The question was why a driver license is not required for a particular image (wheelchair assisted by electric traction) but is required for another image (electric 3-wheeler). When assigning random images to a question they can be named by "A, B, C, etc"

The police report and eventual fine depends on the level of the injuries. If the pedestrian will stay less than 14 days in the hospital, the charges against the taxi driver will be "MINOR injuries". If the pedestrian will stay more that 14 days in the hospital, the charges against the taxi driver will be "GRAVE injuries". Also the charges depends on the report of the hospital about the accident. Example.: Will the pedestrian be able to recapitulate work after 2 weeks or not?

Swiss Expat Critically Injured in Scooter-Car Crash in Pattaya
Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I had 3 accidents with my car, and 1 of them was serious for the other party. On all 3 accidents I let the insurance AND my lawyer handle the case. If I would have left it to the insurance, I would be in fault and pay for everything. Lucky, my lawyer didn't accept the crap from the insurer and I won 3 times But I accepted the offer from the police in the 3rd accident and let my insurance foot the bill (1st class). No big change in my insurance the year after . -

You answerred your own question here. The limit of the insurance pay-out would be 3 million baht (according to your post). A few weeks in the ICU can be more expensive as 3 million baht -
Swiss Expat Critically Injured in Scooter-Car Crash in Pattaya
Confuscious replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The normal handling of accidents by the Thai police is to blame the person with the 1-class insurance (experience) and keep everybody happy. As for this particular accident, i would say that as crossing lights are not working the priority rules need to be followed and the car should stop for the motorcycle. -

Even with a class #1 car insurance, the payout in case of an accident has a limit. As this guy is in ICU, the costs can reach the top of the payout very easy. -
I don't really car how many times a day Thai people eat. But what makes me puke is the way thai people eat. Mouth open and showing how they chew the food to pulp and some of them making loud noises while chewing or slurping the food. Did nobody learn them to eat with their mouth CLOSED?
