I normally pay round 1,500-2,000 THB for flights every 90 days to receive my entry stamp however, 

If you have a Non B visa and run a business why are (where) you doing 90 day visa runs ?

Students in Yemen, really fun when you know the country is at war

Study of modern warfare..or maybe study of a more ancient "art form"  ?

99% of people drive into Khao Yai, and there are cameras at the entry, and many places in the park. Guess that's how they can identify the culprits

Well maybe if there are only 1 car load of people per day and the park rangers scour the whole park looking for rubbish everyday  otherwise it could have been the car load from yesterday that dumped the rubbish

or the wildlife could have rummaged in the litter bins  or the bins are overflowing and the wind blew it away.

maybe there are no rubbish bins at all..which kind of invites the dumping...yes yes  take it home with you

sadly lots of people still don't get that idea.

But fair enough if they have video evidence of  people littering then  a few thousand baht fine would be appropriate    500,000  is a bit over the top IMHO   considering the fines/sentences handed out for beating a person to within an inch of their life or killing a minibus load of schoolchildren ( if you are HiSo)

Mr. Anutin said the visit underlined the cooperation between the two countries in developing vaccines against dengue fever, malaria, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as COVID-19

And remember just how long have they been working on these vaccines..decades not months and still no miracle breakthrough. 

Wasn't it proudly trumpeted that Thailand had  developed a cure for AIDS and EBOLA and Russia  is already administering a WuFlu vaccine ?

Maybe grab a few from some old Tunnel flooding threads.

Here see it did flood ????   but only because one end was still closed off under construction.

Not the worst driving by far,very common for  them to  "push in" at  U-turns and Lights  because they think they are so important not to have to wait in line or occasionally think the 2 lanes are for turning  then find its only a straight on lane and get honked at to move  like we see in this video...also (as mentioned in the video) they have Bangkok number plates  so possibly  on unfamiliar roads but still bad driving.

Is this a crazy idea?

Yes crazy idea especially in these covidiocy times..better setup a somtam gai yarng stall..even better a mobile Somtam gai yarng stall so you can go locally to where the customers are..beware you can not work on the gai yarng stall only a Thai person can.

Had the same in our apartment block  its very annoying as the sound travels easily through the concrete floors and walls.

I put up some signs, the (unknown) offender ripped them down again but did (mostly) stop...well at least they put a towel under the bloody thing which helps dampen the sound considerably.

If there ever is a vaccine  there is sure to be another virus (or something else)  lined up ready to cause the next global mass hysteria.

they have hisense tvs but none that match the model I want.

Often  its better just to go to one of the big Shopping centers that that have a Powerbuy or Numchai branch

with a lot of Tvs on display take a USB stick with some of the films and series you watch  and  see how the different brand and price range TV's actually performs in "real life" tests  as opposed to some online reviews..you can also  check out the remote control and menu systems and hear if the speakers are good enough...if you see one you like then get the model number and compare prices to  "online" retailers..

me personally would want to see them to test the TV in the shop to make sure everything works before I got it home...not saying online buying is bad but it can be a big disappointment to open that big new TV box only to find it was damaged in transit.

????

Domestic tourism is just spreading the money already in the economy out to more poeple so yes it can be helpful to tourist dependent business..but there are limits as to how many holidays anyone can afford to take..aleady the government incentive to stimulate domestic tourism has been a bit of a flop.

How did just happen to have photos of the installation?

The "electrician" sent photos via the "Line" application and then forwarded to the PEA guy who was happy with that and re-installed the meter...crisis over.

Retirement visa ?

Having said all, that it's still not proof the photos were the installation in the customer's premises

The PEA guy did initially say he wanted to see the installation but in the end settled for a photo as the owner was not at the property away working.

Are we allowed to say where 'there' is....I can't think of a place in Nong Plalai....

Seeing as the original report didn't name the place for fear of a lawsuit  I would err on the side of not saying where "there" is.
