Maybe because they didn't want to risk the life of all passengers since Samui runway is to short for a 777, also it's not an international airport could have made things much more complicated for everyone onboard the plane,

I would't call that a fake 1000 baht note, he was fooled by an altered 100 Note.

They were exchanging Cash for cash to get notes to distribute to class mates for the graduation, My guess is the mistake was to give them 30x 1,000 Baht notes instead of 30x 100 Baht notes in an envelope, and they didn't open the envelope until after they got home. Then if it was 40x50 Baht Notes the mathematics seams correct. Probably they wanted to hand out one envelope containing 100 Baht each to every student. I do not believe this is fictional. Good job girls, more stories like this should reach the media attention.

Correct Should have been Cambodia. To my defence Im home with a terrible Influenza

Im not sure how cutting out electricity in Bangkok would help curb the scam callcenters from Myanmar and Burma?

Still today this is an issue, But with a letter from Immigration promising that you will get a VISA if you have a WorkPermit you can get the Work permit before they issue the VISA. Or if it's the other way around.

When I got a new passport and had to change passport number I had to go to the other side of Bangkok to the branch I initially opened the account. I needed to change my PP number so my account matched my new Passport number when I had to scan my face to be able to transfer 50,000 and up. Update the Passport number took a week.

As long as I have known my Thai Wife, 14 years now, she has been using the same cellphone number registered in my name since I got an extra free cellphone number I had no use for while subscribing for 02 land line for my company, and a TV package. Now suddenly she is not allowed to use online banking any longer, Only bank book at bank until we have either sorted out how to transfer the account to her, or she has to get a new number and we stop the number included in the package. Stupid...

Yes and they do not understand or speak Thai well. Usually english works much better.

I agree it is so ugly, and those probably would need 10 treatments, every treatment fade the tattoo a little bit, and apparently does not any harm to the skin

Luckily with today's Laser technology there is not a single tattoo that can not be removed. But apparently it is much more expensive and painful to have them removed than putting them, and you might need several treatments before its totally gone. A friend of mine had one removed after he divorced his wife. The new girlfriend didn't like to se his ex wife name on his chest all the time.

I have two friends that is dentists one even a Professor, and both say no, not if you don't have any issues with them, The damage was done when they were put there, and they say amalgam if far the best material for fixing caries if if was not for the mercury exposure when they are put there. Second best material to fix teeth is apperently precious gold, The composite plastic once tend to deteriorate over time.

I believe that Canada and Thailand has a Tax agreement and unless Taxes in Thailand is higher than Toronto you would not need to pay any taxes here.

That was so 2024...

I saw the CCTV video of this accident on TV, and it looked like the driver was standing outside of the car trying to recharge in to the pedals with his left foot. Was he trying to hit the break but accidentally floored the accelerator instead? He got squeezed in between the open door he was standing behind on his car and the white pickup in the picture. RIP
