Turns out he wasn't axed as the poster claims. His three year contract ended and he decided not to renegotiate. OP is fake news.

Lost mine a couple of years ago. No need to report it to the police. You fill a report out at the DLT explaining when and where it was lost. I took the receipt for the sticker with me, can't remember if that was necessary. Charged about 20 baht I think.

25 odd years ago, when the police stopped on the spot fines and started issuing tickets in my town, the procedure was that your bike was kept, you had to go to the station, pay the fine and return with the receipt to get your bike released. Could take well over an hour and involve motorcycle taxi fares depending on where you were pulled over. That never seemed to make them wear helmets.

I have no issue fitting my glasses with my full face Real helmet. The only issue I do have is that my glasses have progressive lenses so I have to be careful how I position them as the helmet tends to raise them slightly higher than normal.

I use the 12 month statement and an updated bank book to cover the few days from the last entry on the statement to the day I do the application. I only update my bank book twice a year now so rarely need a new one. -
Honda ADV 160 (2025) – Stiff Suspension: Should I Upgrade?
alanrchase replied to vento's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
If tire pressures are correct try adjusting the suspension settings. -
I was having issues with my debit card so thought I would try bitcoin. Totally agree that it is an expensive way to transfer small amounts of money. I only put a small amount of money in and will only be using it for emergencies. The issue with my debit card has been sorted.

Decided to give it a go. Downloaded an app and went through the verification. Passport picture, driving licence, visa/extension, face etc. Stumbled with the driving licence as it wanted both sides but wasn't giving the option to photograph the back side but it eventually gave the option. All approved so transfered some money into the account via mobile banking which was easy. Converted some of that to Bitcoin and decided to try an online payment using that. This is where the problem started. The vendor gives a page with the bitcoin amount to pay and the wallet address to send it to. The wallet on the app has boxes to enter the amount and the address, easy enough with copy and paste. Couple of verification steps and transaction is confirmed. What I didn't realise is the crazy way the transaction fee is taken. It comes out of the amount you are trying to send not out of your account. The app transfers the money but the vendor says the transaction was not completed. Vendor does not decline the transaction for being the incorrect amount and there is no way to get your money back. Seems you have to manually add the transaction fee to the amount you want to send to make sure the vendor gets the correct amount. I am out of pocket but both the vendor and crypto exchange have made money. Fortunately it was a small amount.

Truck Crash on Expressway: 16 Vehicles Wrecked, 17 Injured
alanrchase replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
Approximately 120 truck accidents a day in the USA caused by brake failure, 30% of all truck accidents. Are they all making it up over there as well? Not saying the driver in this case is not making it up but if brake failure is that common in the US it is probably more prevalent over here. -

What is your point? Trump was a strongly pro choice Democrat that donated to Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton at one time. -
Ask the motorcycle taxi guys. They know where everything is.

I had an MRI at Siriraj government hospital about 18 months ago. Went to the imaging department for an appointment and got the MRI the next day, doc did say it could be a two week wait. Pelvic area with contrast for 15,000.

When my 4×4 Toyota Pickup needed new tyres I checked a lot of reviews on the internet for various different brands. The only thing that stood out was that all name brands are both fantastic and rubbish according to different reviewers. I ended up changing from Bridgestone to Yokohama Geolandars due to price and never had a problem with them.

That is a typical lie though isn't it. Biden is building another 20 miles due to the funds being appropriated during the previous administration. Unfortunately he has no choice other than to throw more money away on something that obviously is not working.
