  1. You're posting rubbish that has already been answered. IDP and home country motor cycle driving licences are covered by the same 1949 UN treaty + Thai law section 42-2, in which either is valid for tourists in Thailand. Unless you're German, neither a German driving licence or German issued IDP is valid in Thailand as Germany didn't ratify the treaty. German tourists and anyone intending to live in Thailand need a Thai driving licence the moment they enter Thailand. Section 42-2 MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT (Thai Law) https://driving-in-thailand.com/motor-vehicle-act/ Section 42 Anyone who wishes to drive a motor vehicle on public roads must possess an appropriate driver licence. The driver must carry the driver licence and a photocopy of the registration book and show them to competent officers upon request. This does not apply to those who are learning to drive a motor vehicle according to the provision of Section 57. If the driver is an alien who doesn't have an immigrant visa, he may drive a motor vehicle with a driver licence specified in the Section 42-2. In such a case, he must carry documents specified by the treaty between the Thai government and the government which issued such driver licence, and show them to competent officers upon request. Section 42-2 In case there is a treaty between the Thai government and a foreign government regarding mutual acceptance of driver licence, an alien who does not have an immigrant visa may drive a motor vehicle with a driver licence issued by such a foreign government, or an automobile association authorised by such a foreign government. Once you obtain a non-immigrant visa or establish you are a resident (such as enrolling kids in school, buy a car etc,) and are no longer a toursit, you need a Thai drivers licence as your national license and international driving permit is only legally accepted if you are a tourist. Several insurance companies have fine print stating that the driver should hold a valid Thai driving licence to be fully covered after a certain amount of time in Thailand. And this is the 1949 UN treaty ratified by Thailand in 1962, and the UK in 1957 (and Norway in 1957) https://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetailsV.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-1&chapter=11&Temp=mtdsg5&clang=_en
  2. The Thai government, the Thai private hospitals, and the entire worldwide Insurance industry are to blame.
  3. There is no truth, just different lies.
  4. What he means ......... Pattaya beaches aren't very nice and the sea is disgusting ........ Hua Hin beaches are much nicer, and you can swim in the water, when it isn't jellyfish season. As for cost of living, I'm living quite well as a family of 4 on 50kbht/month in Chiang Mai. No good for you as you want beaches.
  5. I have this one, worked perfectly for 6 months so far, 12,500bht. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/anern-35kw55kw-pure-sine-wave-solar-inverter-100a-mppt-hybrid-inverter-24v48v-500vdc-pv-input-220vac-240vac-converter-hybrid-off-grid-inverter-i3854368933-s14717301912.html?
  6. You understand wrong. Lazada chooses the delivery company, not the seller.
  7. Because it isn't marked 'shipped' in the Lazada app.
  8. If it isn't 'shipped' in the Lazada platform, why would you accept delivery?
  9. I thought that was you? (the constantly offended)
  10. Lazada chooses the delivery company. The seller has no choice in whom to use.
  11. Get your gf to make the booking! No gf, go to a bar and get one of the ladies there to book for you.
  12. Seems a little unfair as he hasn't been convicted of anything. If I were him I'd write a book slamming the Royal family, seems to be quite profitable.
  13. ONE, Ordered a black bicycle front bag, and a pink one was delivered. Returned and refunded.
  14. Too woke for me, ep6 threw in the deaf/mute black kid (although he seemed to forget he was mute when running away from the zombies). Acting very poor throughout.
  15. I bought Atora on Lazada, I think it was from Food Variety.
  16. You could always make your own ..... Makro sell dried white beans, 49bht for 500gm. https://www.recipetineats.com/homemade-baked-beans-recipe-heinz/
  17. Vet was incompetent, Ivermectin injections work 100%, but are too cheap (100bht) for most vets to use. I'd suggest using a different vet, one that puts animal health before profits. Ivermectin stays in the blood and poisons all insects that suck blood (seen or unseen). 2-3 injections protects the animal from recurrence for up to a year.
  18. I always assume Thailand couldn't find it's own bum using both hands and a mirror. But I'm probably wrong. One of my pals was a heroin/gold smuggler in the 1990s. Got caught and spent a year in the Bangkok Hilton. Deported back to the UK where he got a new passport, then flew right back here.
  19. My experiences match those of @KhunLA. Everything I bought from 'sponsored' ads of Facebook in Thailand was a scam. So I now just ignore them.
  20. You're completely right as always.
  21. Even 2nd rate actors know how to run the world better than their elected government. Not sure anyone would class him as a 'Hollywood A-lister' though.
  22. Unless you bribe the government officials not to check. And with a 'new' car it will be 5+ years before anyone looks again.
  23. They buy metal detectors that don't detect, submarines without engines, aircraft carriers without aircraft. And yet, you expect them to have fingerprint computers better than the FBI and the London Met.
  24. So they should be cheaper than the UK price if they come from China.
