  1. Wow. You got all this information from this picture? Amazing. As for commercial rating - it has nothing to do with size of airplane\type of engine. The difference between PPL and CPL is that with PPL you can't charge for the service and with CPL you can.
  2. You can very simply book hotels that charge upon arrival and can be cancelled without penalty. Same for airline tickets.
  3. I'm pretty sure I've read on other sources 120 years, not 120k years. Who has any records from 120k years ago?
  4. I can only speak for myself, but there are so many parameters that need to change if anyone REALLY wants to slow down the changes. The main factor is a population of 8 billion people and rising. The next factor is the consumption strategy of capitalism - buy as much as you can (and take loans if you can't afford it) so the economy can grow. Another stupid scheme was the selling of carbon rights which made some people very rich and contributed nothing to the reduction of co2. So all these articles and facts have no real effect on the situation
  5. Is he trying to be a stand-up comedian? Because this joke is not funny at all...
  6. You're talking about intentions. You can apply at any Embassy you want, telling them you intend to stay there the longest. Once you're in Europe, nobody checks nor care through which Embassy you got your visa. For my last trip to Europe I planned flying and staying only in 1 country. However I realised it will be much easier and faster to apply at an embassy of another country, and that's what I've done. Upon arrival at my actual intended destination I was asked by the IO why have I applied through another country when I'm actually visiting his. That was the first time ever I was asked this question, even though I always do it the same way. I simply answered "changed my plans" and I was stamped in.
  7. The opposite, sir. I totally understood you, but you didn't understand my reply. I also have duel SIM phone, and also another phone just in case. The wi-fi calling aka VoIP is a service provided by the cellular company (AIS, dtak true or any overseas such company). The ability to use the service is provided by the phone you use. If you put a sim of a provider that does not support this service, your phone won't show the option of wi-fi calling. Now, as I use AIS I can only comment about their service, and it is available to use overseas. When I travel out of Thailand I take the spare phone with me, buy and install a local SIM of the country I'm at on that phone and use the local data to provide wi-fi for the phone with Thai SIMs (I have 2 Thai SIMs) and as you said, I can use my Thai numbers as if I'm in Thailand at no extra costs. However, there is a country I frequently visit and have a permanent post paid SIM of that country as I want to keep the number. On my last visit to that country I checked with the provider if they support wi-fi calling, and the answer was yes. I asked to have the service opened for my number and tested it while there - worked great. When I returned to Thailand I tried to use that phone over wi-fi and not only it didn't work, but the option on my phone wasn't showing. I put a Thai SIM on the phone and the option magically appeared again. So I called that overseas cell company's customer service and the final answer was that they block the service out of the country. I then contacted 2 other cell providers and both answered that they only provide this service IN country. I am still looking for a way to bypass this restriction but haven't found one yet. I have installed a VPN with servers in that said country but still didn't work. I contacted the VPN provider who told me that their servers do not support VoIP traffic. So if anyone has any suggestion how to solve this problem please tell.
  8. 1. Not only iPhone. Samsung has it as well and I'm pretty sure every midrange upwards Android phones have it as well. 2. This service (VoIP) must be provided by the cellular company. Although AIS (and probably other Thai companies) allows to use the service overseas, I checked with some non Thai cellular suppliers and they only give that service in-country as they prefer to sell expensive roaming packages. I have a sim from a non Thai company that gives the service in their home country as I hoped I'd be able to use it here, but it's blocked. I installed a VPN with servers in that country and still won't work as the VPN servers won't allow VoIP. Still haven't don't a way to overcome this problem...
  9. Wow. What would we have done without such a professional analysis?
  10. What benefit will the government have by doing this? What is the % of foreign renters in Thailand?
  11. In the US they also drive on the other side of the road. How's that relevant?
  12. I keep seeing that tax issue tied up with tm30 and I never understand why anyone thinks there's a connection between the 2. Immigration and tax department are 2 different bodies that have nothing to do with each other. In order for the tax department to get the information from immigration, IO has to go out of their way to inform them. Why would the do that? As for the landlord not willing to do it - I can think of many reasons. Extra work, disclosing personal documents to a tenant just to name 2
  13. AFAIK you don't "take over" loan, but actually pay off the original and take a new one. Usually a loan for 2nd hand car is more expensive than for me out of the dealership. Credit history out of Thailand means nothing as they can't really verify it.
  14. Not really the majority of the voters. They might be the biggest group but far from majority.
  15. Politics is a game of compromise wherever there's more than 1 party. If any party could win enough seats to have a majority in parliament there would be no need for a coalition. But if you need other parties in a coalition, you have to accept their stance on all issues as well. So if he wants to be PM and that issue as he (and his voters) wants it stands in the way, he should find a compromise that will be a step in his direction and others can live with it as well.
  16. What a wonderful world. A students mischief makes it to national news...
  17. Send me a pm if you're offering to take her off my hands and I'll give you full details.
  18. That should go both ways. When I see a male dressed as a woman and tries to behave like a "woman" (they usually behave like a stereotype created by men, and not like most natural women) I find it hard to address that person as a woman. And they don't accept people not accepting them as they decide. It's ecxectly the same as some older people trying to mingle with much younger people because they feel young. The younger people don't usually accept them and older people ridicule them
  19. Tried that a few years back. Didn't work as advertised. 1. It also eat trees/branches 2. If you have young trees/plants - it will just walk all over them 3. It only eats the type of grass it likes, and I still hat to cut the rest 4. When they ran out of grass they eat I had to go get more from outside 5. During the hot season not grass to be found - had to buy. You can't leave those with an empty tank for more than a few days.............
  20. He might have spent all his money buying the Merc and doesn't have enough for the tolls...
  21. 5 years is a long time in the future. Any information you get more might not be relevant in 5 years.
