Then you must live in a different nation - maybe imagination, lol. 
 

Very few people, specially cars run red lights in Bangkok. Not stopping at zebra crossings without traffic lights is a different thing.

I live in Bangkok and see cars run red lights every day.

Air passengers who need to change flights in Thailand are not required to hold a Thailand Pass. However, they are required to produce a negative RT-PCR test result taken no more than 72 hours ago and insurance coverage of at least $50,000.

 

Are they joking?

It's the new normal. I flew from Canada to Bahrain in October and the UK government required an RT-PCR test before boarding in Canada because I was transiting through Heathrow for 1 hour.

I'm just wondering if any US expats in Thailand who are living on social security have received any stimulus package payments. Everything I've read says that those on social security are entitled to receive payments and it should be automatic. All the US websites you can go to for inquiries are pretty useless.

I went to Cambodia this morning and came back this afternoon via land border. Didn't hear anything about a law that doesn't allow such a thing.

Visas are not transferred. Immigration only transfers stamps they have done.

If you only have a tourist visa or a visa exempt entry can show both passports on departure from the country to have your stamps transferred.

You cannot get a 90 day tourist visa on entry. You can only apply for a tourist visa at a embassy or consulate.

You can get a 30 day visa exempt entry when entering the country.

Thanks and sorry I should have clarified that I have a non-immigrant B visa, but don't want to continue with that in my new passport. Thus, I just wondered if it's ok to leave and come back without having the visa transferred. And I only want to get the 90 days on arrival when I come back (not a visa, as you correctly stated).

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

I have a new US passport. Is it necessary or required to transfer my visa from the old passport to the new one? Or, is it ok to just fly to K.L. and back and get the usual 90 day tourist visa on arrival (without first transferring the visa from old passport to new passport)?

As I have a new US passport, am I required to go to immigration and transfer the visa to the new passport? Or is it ok, if I just leave and come back with my new passport? I am not interested in keeping the non-immigrant B visa that I have and I know I will get 90 days on arrival when I return from Malaysia, but do I really have to bother with getting the visa transferred to the new passport.

but how does the app monitor the 8 out of 10 taxis that refuse a pick up ?

It's not the route driven that's the problem it's the refusal of customers thats the issue ....

I really don't get it, with complaints like this. I have never been refused to be taken anywhere by a taxi driver in Thailand. I get in and close the door and tell him where I want to go. He takes me there and uses the meter. I see a lot of people ask the driver first before they get in, but I don't understand why they do that. I've never had a problem. I've lived here 26 years and use taxis all the time. 8 out of 10 taxis refuse a pickup? Seriously???

My experience is that it's up to the individual bank if they want to accept a large amount of coins or not. I went to a couple of different banks before I found one that would accept 600 baht worth of 25 satang coins, about 10 kilos I guess. It was a large main branch of Bangkok Bank and they didn't have a coin counting machine, but they took me to a private office where I helped them count the coins!

Dear Rickray .. how did you prove she had a Thai biyfriend in court ??

Hired a private detective for a couple thousand baht. He took photos of them together, his car, apartment where they occasionally shacked up etc. After it was found out, she didn't deny it. In fact, the boyfriend appeared in court with her.

I got a lawyer after I found out my wife had a Thai boyfriend. The lawyer did a good job and had plenty of evidence. We went to court in Korat and I kept everything, 100%....house, car, money everything. She got nothing.

How about giving up your Lawyers name and where he/she office is...please

It was more than 10 years ago, but I could probably dig it up somewhere.
