They're digging up Pattaya Tai again.

The road or the pavement/foot path    I hope not the road as it was only just finished being concreted  after years and years of  terrible surface  from when they laid the water main.

Surprise. The speakers have a Dolby AND DTS sound chip built in (THX is no problem too). What does this mean?

Where does it mention DTS or THX   in the  advert  all I can see is "Dolby Pro Logic"  which is analogue surround sound "conjured" from a stereo source  whereas DTS and THX are digital systems  offering a better surround sound experience..I loved watching The Matrix lobby shot out in DTS.

Go to your nearest police station and make a report take the cars blue book with you  they will give you a copy of your statement  and then you go to your local Department of land Transportation   give them the statement and  probably copy of blue book and some form to fill in pay a few baht they will issue a new number plate ...you will most likely have to go back to collect new plate in a few weeks time as it will have to be manufactured.

There are many overhead 'crosswalks' in Thailand, hardly anyone will climb them

Not to mention the electrocution risks

my wife also discovered the our refrigerator felt warmer than it should (i.e. it wasn't cooling).

I think fridges go through a  "less cool"  cycle to prevent frost forming   you may have just happened to notice it.

Makes me wonder if there was some kind of electrical spike while we were away from home, although I don't know how it would fry a capacitor when the washing machine wasn't running.

If the machine was plugged in then  possible for an electrical spike to cause damage but I would of thought that the microcontroller board buried under the buttons would have fried too/first.

I suspect the capacitor just leaked due to "old age"   they often fail like that.

I have never had one with a photo, it says until 2035.

Yes the old style paper licence is still valid.. but only up until you get a plastic one with photo on which then has to be renewed every 10 years to "update the photo"..they do "confusingly"

send you a new paper "Counterpart Driving Licence" to go with the plastic but once you have the plastic one there is no going back to just paper.

I think most places now will not accept  just the paper license as any proof of identity.

Perhaps a bit of elaboration would be helpful..closed for what ?

Another area is along Sukuvit as you travel South towards the Ambassador Hotel complex in Pattaya.  That section of road has been torn up for many kilometers for months.  You see nothing being done to actually repair it. 

They are widening it to what looks like will be a 10 lane motorway !

down for me too, nothing you can do about it.

Seems to me this capacitor could be fried

100%  certainly fried...don't know about the motor resistance readings  but in 2 cases I had the capacitor go bad the motor was fine.

Total materials cost just under 24,000 Baht.

Don't forget you'll need another car to put under the new car port  ????

I renewed online a few years ago, before expiry  got C1 entitlement no extra documents required then  but maybe things have changed ?

Also they added motorcycle entitlement that had been omitted from my previous photo licence which had in turn caused me to have to do the complete Thai motorcycle test

So can anyone confirm that after re-applying for a licence after so many years, did you keep your entitlement to drive 7.5T vehicles  (Category C1)?

I'm pretty sure the  licence will include all your entitlements...as the licence it's self does not expire as such  just that they made a new "money making scheme"

of having to update the photo every 10 years.

Also be aware that using an "expired"  photo licence  can result in a 1000 pound fine !!!!  see money making scheme !

You can renew online and have them use your latest passport photo which they find themself

the "government portal" web site to do this is a bit of a kerfuffle to set up  as they want to send  authorisation codes to a UK mobile phone number  obviously the licence will be sent to a UK address too.

I just read this

https://thethaiger.com/news/bangkok/200-teams-go-door-to-door-to-find-covid-19-around-bangkok

" Should anyone develop strong symptoms, the task force teams will provide fever-reducing medication and traditional Thai herbal medicines made from green chiretta that is thought to fight Covid-19 symptoms."

Isn't this "green chiretta" some sort of herbal remedy ?

Are you saying the earth is not flat?

I believe it is round (ish) ..can we still say that ?  what if the "authorities" say it is indeed flat  should I be locked up for my belief ? ????

They should try these.
