    Never very  many baht busses on it though!

    There was enough. I used to use it 3 or 4 times a week if I was going to have a drink.

    If I wasn't planning to have a drink it was mu motobike.

  2. The problem at the moment is that we  are in a Catch 22 situation. The Baht Buses wont return until there are customers to pick up. Conversely the customers wont return until they are sure there will be Baht Buses  running.

    What we need is some wealthy local firm to sponsor some Buses for a period of time (guaranteeing a income for each driver). After that period let the drivers decide if there is enough customers to continue.

    There must be one or two  large local firms that could help. I can think of at least one.

  3. Lack of staff at the Immigration Desks is down to the government. Nothing to do with AOT.  Lack of staff at Security  (and their attitude ) is more likely due to low pay and miserable working conditions.

    My last year of work at Heathrow (while waiting for HR to sort out my pension) was in Security. As I was earning the same salary as in my previous position (and not normal security salary) I put up with it. As soon as HR said we have finalized your deal I was off like a shot.

    Wild horses wouldn't have dragged me back under their normal pay and conditions.

    I suspect that in Thailand it's pretty much the same.

    you are getting a SIM card preloaded with a special tariff with 12 months validity starting from the date of activation.

    once it arrives you need to activate it to enable the tariff.

    hard way: download DTAC app, try to make it accept your passport and selfie, enjoy.

    easy way: go to the nearest DTAC office and have the staff activate the SIM for you, enjoy.

    depending on the exact tariff it may also require a minimum top-up (e.g. 20 baht) to activate the internet, after activating the SIM with your passport data.

    and for the next 12 months you will not need to pay anything else except that initial 1390 baht SIM card price, and possible 20 baht single top up.

    highly likely you will not be able to prolong that special tariff after 12 months and the SIM will become a "usual" SIM which you will be able to use only with a "usual" much more expensive internet packages.

    Thankyou for that. It explains it nicely. I will be ordering from Lazada later.
