I think this is fair. They can't have their transportation prices fixed but the fuel prices flexible. If fuel costs go up, so should transportation costs, and if it goes down, then so should transportation costs. Though the latter would never happen. But both should.

If I were you, I'd reach out to Bangkok Airways.

Just wanted to say that I used to live in Pratunam. Very near Baiyoke. They would be waiting for buses right in front of my door. Wouldn't let me out. Spit all over the place. Could not care less about anyone else. BUT... I've also visited China many times. And the first time tourists like in video above by no means represent all the Chinese people. Many are actually very nice, polite and friendly. Obviously, others are... hopeless. I think (from several nationalities), those who make the most problems like above video are those who have never been outside their turf, and neighbouring countries are their first trip out of their upcountry home, a result of the new prosperity of their country. Unfortunately... Thailand happened to be one of their most popular first trip abroad destinations, and hence saw the worst of it.

Dare to tell that to a Thai Embassy or Immigration official?

US tourism must be doomed. Ever seen a Thai applying for a US visa?

Preowned glove demand was indeed skyrocketing...

My DLT office (Bang Chak) says the opposite. Then again, my original license is not in English, and I needed to make a flight back to Europe to get the translation. Yes, it's depth perception test. Mine were 4-5 m away from where I was sitting for the reflex test and the foreigner before me had 2 unsuccessful tries before that, which got me worried. Actually the reason I could do it on first try was because of the light reflection on the sticks. Where is your DLT office? I really want to go there now. The 2 ladies in front of me didn't answer the quiz after watching videos, were refused the queue tickets and had to set up another appointment 2 months later, the last time I was there. Since your office doesn't need anything, it seems I am doing license at the most problematic place in Thailand.

Maybe Apple menu - System Preferences - Displays, and change from Default to Scaled resolution and choose a lower resolution? This is on iMac, not sure how it would look for your display.

Get your own sensor. 10-13k baht for sensor that can plug into the AirVisual app and you can provide service for your area. Else there are 2 ways of getting data - Windy app gets information from satellite, IQAir's AirVisual or AQICN.org get data from government and private sensors on the ground, like one mentioned in first line. I use IQAir's sensor. Bought online, but even Villa Market is selling it...

Same. I put in my photo 3 years ago when using Grab in Malaysia. It makes sense. The driver recognises you, you recognise driver by car description and photo of the driver that shows up inside your app.

If you have a valid license from your home country + international license for Thailand (which only accepts 1 year validity - this is basically a translation of the original license that includes Thai), then all it takes is making an appointment with the DLT office (some do it in the app, others go to DLT office to get appointment card, both usually months in advance). If you make appointment at DLT office, they'll tell you all documents you need to bring on appointment day. Before appointment, you need a medical certificate. You could get it from clinic or hospital and is valid for 30 days. On the day of appointment, you bring required documents and get queue number. You'll need to fill out some forms, and do a handful of tests: reflex test (basically there are 2 pedals, you push one to the floor, while the light is green, and when it changes to red, you need to push down the other pedal like if you stepped on brake - you need to do that in fraction of second), the next one is distance sensing (there are 2 sticks about 5m away from you, and you have a joystick to move one of them until they are aligned), the colour blindness test - there are several "traffic" lights, that show different colours and you need to shout out the colour as it shows up... If you pass all, you go get a photo taken and your 2 year temporary driver's license printed out. When it expires you can extend it for 5 years, but need to watch some crash videos and answer exam questions correctly on top of the same tests as for 2 year temporary license. If you do not have license in home country, I would guess you need to do whole theoretical and practical examination first. Then you should contact a driving school.

Surely nobody will ever want to go to Singapore then...

Some memorable sports moments caught on camera...

She hacked into accounts of people, then impersonating them reached out to that people's friends and family in Line and Facebook, claiming she's in trouble and needs to borrow money urgently. Like if I broke into your account, and in your name asked your friends to borrow money. Some would be willing to help (you) to which I'd give my bank account to transfer money to. Many did not check that the name of account they were transferring to didn't match the name of their friend. By the time your friends realised you didn't ask anyone for any money and your account was hacked, all that transfers would already have been done. I know of several who fell for this and filed police reports on it.

Thai Airways used to give it, to all female passengers. Not sure if they still do.

Hope it's a waterproof watch...

COVID is a gift that never stops giving...

Why would someone with millions of $ to throw away want a work permit in Thailand?

PEOPLE NOT VACCINATED Must have been tested for COVID-19 by RT-PCR or ATK (Antigen Test Kit) with a confirmed negative test result issued by a hospital or laboratory within the past 7 days. (People may no longer bring their own ATK test kits to the Phuket Check Point to be tested there, but a professional rapid test service is available at the checkpoint that people may use) https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-officials-tired-of-people-not-understanding-the-word-or-81692.php Do note that some airlines will have their own requirements and might not let you board without a jab and/or PCR test 72 hrs before flight. So check with airline as well.

Hmm... Get another wife?

Actually Phyathai 2, Lat Phrao, MedPark and Sukhumvit 71 hospital had identical design, bar the name and logo of the hospital at the header.

found this (appointment should look like first image - part 1):

Thailand free vaccination program will only use AZ + Pfizer after Sinovac stock runs out (this week).
