Any idea of the cost for this newly legal drug?

On the news last evening they said price had gone up from 200 baht a kilo to 500 baht.

Is this another airgun bust ?  like the recent one  posted on here recently  which I can't find  again because of the abysmal search engine and site name change.

how likely is it that a package containing kratom will be seized by Thai customs? 

I'm pretty sure a "licence" is needed to import  from overseas,   but  why import it anyway  it grows naturally in Thailand.

What is the treatment ?

You've used a term I am not familiar with.  Can you briefly tell me what a Carrier Grade Nat is?  

It's a method internet service providers use to deal with the lack of ipv4  addresses   they basically do what your home router does  

that is pass (NAT) many  Ip addresses through  one ip address that is exposed to the internet.

the temporary closure of all district register offices in Chonburi and a company in Mueang Chonburi.

That's going to cause a bit of a problem for those needing to renew their "marriage visa"   at Jomtien  as they now require an updated  Kor Ror 2 marriage registry entry !!!

"Note: K PLUS cannot be installed and re-register in overseas since normally, K PLUS must be used through 3G/4G/EDGE/GPRS of Thai mobile phone number only. K PLUS cannot be connected via the signal in another country.

Well that there is the important information  "must be used through 3G/4G/EDGE/GPRS"

  does that also mean you can't use it via WiFi ?

Best and easiest for them to keep their surname

Also there is no requirement (or advantage) for a Thai woman to change her surname after marriage  for anything in Thailand..there maybe some advantages for her in other countries  not to have a foreign

(Thai surname) ???

Talking about "converting" a UK licence to a Thai licence at the Department Of Land Transportation.

They wouldn't accept my UK licence as it has no picture on it,

So you  don't/didn't have the credit card sized plastic one with photo on it  just the old style paper version ?  if so that would explain it..perhaps you should have shown them your old Thai licence instead.

Anyway  "mostly"  they will except a licence with photo on it and written in English without the need for a translation ( not even translated into Thai)

A.K.A  "international drivers permit"

I was asked to present an IDP, they wouldn't accept my home licence.

What country was your home licence from and which DLT ?

I know that there can be differences of interpretation between different DLT offices...but the Banglamung office (Chonburi)  excepted my UK licence ( for a car) no problem no mention of an International drivers permit.

They would not issue a motorcycle licence because at the time my UK licence didn't show a motorcycle symbol on it...so I had to do the "full Monty" for that ????
