As Lazada and Ali Express are the same company, try ordering from the latter. As someone has already said, most stuff originates in China anyway, only downside is a longer shipping time.

Wise do virtual cards, if that helps.

I got an IDP for a recent visit.  My US license is for a car, but I had the guy also stamp the motorcycle endorsement.  I do have a Thai motorbike license I got in 1978.  It's still valid as I  paid for the lifetime license. 

lifetime licence? I thought 5 years was max.  How much/how difficult is a lifetime one?

What proof of life is required? (joke!)

Yes, clearly the main issue here is the lack of proper safety procedures to protect the worker.

My wife and I have long ago named road painters "the suicide squad" because of their poor safety procedures and protections. This may not exactly qualify as it seems to be a private road, rather than a highway, but the same principles apply.

Still a stupid driver, though.

"underwent a full process of repairs before being recommissioned,"

notice the patch of epoxy putty on the bow. They might have painted it!

After doctors police stitched up Wiracha he was taken to the police station where he said he had tried to avoid another bike but lost control at the bend hitting the oncoming policeman.  "don't you know who I am?"

Sorry, feeble I know, but couldn't resist. Blame the 5:00pm Chang!

Do you understand English?

Booze sales, as usual 11am to 2pm and then 5pm to midnight. In SOME places bars can sell up to 2am. NO SALES after that.

I don't believe that "English" belongs in any criticism of the comprehensibility  of the OP. It's "Thailish".

Is it my imagination, but are the pylons and the buildings in the picture leaning, and by different amounts? Stupid idea, and bound to be poorly executed at outrageous cost, achieving nothing useful except envelopes, of course.

Interesting definition of "top "..........

"teacup", "storm", "in a".

Please sort to arrive at my opinion.

Daiso sell a black bird  mobile for 60baht, a couple of these will work a treat. Sorry I can't post a photo 'cos I'm not at home, and can't find one on the net. Comes in a flat A4 sized packet from the gardening section.

I worry how the Russian will treat me. I'm not Ukrainian but my country 'gives' munitions and training to Ukrainians. 

Strange, is it not, that all the Russians living near me claim to have been born in Ukraine, to have Ukranian family, or are married to Ukranians!

You should be able to access records. How many AGMs have you attended? What is your relationship with manager and committee members like? 

Without naming project, what are your specific concerns? Amounts involved?

Have you asked WHY they are refusing access to records?

Remind them, that as your JPM they are in your employ (although commitee could be in cahoots of wrongdoing). 

Thankfully, after 13 years in my project, all has been good though no body can predict the future. I have been asked to join comitee but declined as too much work - thouigh may reconsider.

Please share.

 

Thanks for your reply to my post. I do not feel able to share this publicly as it would be too easy to identify location and personalities involved, the situation is fairly unique. I have pm'd you.

As above, full financials should be available at AGM, additionally there is a requirement to post monthly financials on notice board as well.

 

Its all in the Condominium Act which is easily found on a google search.

Example below

 

Section 36 The manager shall have the following powers and duties:

(5)     Arranging to have a monthly Receipt and Expenditure Account prepared and post it on the Bulletin Board to inform the joint owners within fifteen days from the end of the month and that such relevant Announcement shall be posted at least for a consecutive period of fifteen days.

My point here is that there appear to be irregularities in the accounts, which are published as above.It is therefore appropriate to dig further. The committee, management and JPM are refusing access to records.

Does a condo co-owner have an absolute, or indeed any, right to view financial records, such as supplier, contractor and other invoices, and bank records?

I am unable to find any definitive reference on this matter. Can anyone help me out?

Are you sure that "the direction of take off and landing are entirely at the pilots discretion"?

 

I was under the impression that air traffic control (ATC) instructs the pilot of every aircraft which runway to use, whereby the runway number communicated to the pilot is indicative of the direction. ATC does not tell a pilot to land from the North or the South, but gives him a runway number. Every landing strip has two numbers, one for each direction.

 

Or am I wrong?

You are only partly correct. Yes ATC where there is one will instruct which runway to use. The pilot has absolute discretion in whether or not to accept that instruction. If the pilot considers it unsafe he or she can elect to use another, and ATC must (eventually) comply.

The amount of consequent paperwork and general brown stuff that follows is a very strong deterrent, but the pilot in command always has the final say.

Large commercial jets, being fast and heavy, are mostly immune from danger from downwind and crosswind landings, except in really bad conditions. The smaller the aircraft, the less immune to weather conditions, the limits to the ability of the aircraft to cope with such are defined in the POH (pilots operating handbook) of the type.

ATC will base the decision on Runway in Use on the wind direction at the start of the shift. If the wind direction reverses, as it can, they are not so quick to reverse the runway in use, particularly at a busy international airport, as it totally disrupts the traffic patterns. They might continue with a 20knot tailwind...ok for an A380, not such fun for a small commuter jet, and potentially deadly for some light aircraft. If the pilot opts for an opposite landing he may well have to hold for a very long time until a break in traffic permits......unless he declares an emergency, e.g low fuel. Even more paperwork and brown stuff!

In theory, at least, the direction of take off and landing are entirely at the pilots discretion, whatever ATC may think about it. 

If the pilot gets it wrong, = "incident", he is in the <deleted>. Regardless. Always.

Which is who? They  look the same!

I can't help thinking there are more important things going on in the world than vapid videos of 2nd or 3rd rate restaurants making fools of themselves.

Potential nuclear war is marginally more interesting!
