what exactly is that man on the right doing to that woman's bum?

Must be practising the Chinese (Anal) Covid testing method !

Why cant some "clever sod"  use the liquid crystal technologies they use in  TV/computer screens to make a

"Smart window tint"  totally transparent during the night time ( with engine running)   totally dark whilst parked

( no engine running)   auto and user variable darkness within legal limits during the daytime.

If your condo is valued at over 10,000,000, you'll be taxed.

My "condo" isn't even  1 million baht  so I wont be jumping through all those hoops to get a yellow book  ????

so that the 99% can more fully appreciate their suffering without being distracted.

Plus more free time to grovel at the feet of the 1%  hoping they will throw some crumbs of sustenance.

My Thai girlfriend would not enter the building with me, saying that, "I am not allowed!" Could someone please clarify the situation for me?

When doing  "the tests"  as far as I know they don't allow an outside  "helper'   if you need help then ask the staff to explain

or they will let a person who is also taking "the tests" explain it...they do explain the procedures for the eyesight and reaction tests  and even let you walk around the  driving course  and sit and watch others  trying to drive around it..

Your girlfriend is allowed to enter the building  but they will likely order her to stay downstairs when you have to go upstairs for "the tests"

Don't forget that  that drinking alcohol on the beach could land you up to a year in prison and /or a fine up to 100,000 baht !!!

The clicking could be a noisy  compressor relay  clicking on and off  not much can be done about that except changing the relay on the main pcb board.... or if set to some auto setting  might start the louvre door thingies swinging about /up and down that might cause a clicking noise, also sometimes the plastic casing  makes a noise  from the temperature changes  but can often be solved by loosening the retaining screws just enough to allow a small amount of movement.

There are (well where before)

quite a few furniture shops along 

Theprasit road that offered custom made stuff.

How many are still open I don't know but worth having a look.

Did you give them the idp and your uk license ?

There is no need to show them an "IDP"  if you have a licence that shows your photo and is written in English   after all the IDP is just a translation in to several languages  but not of which are the Thai languge.

Probably better to go to your nearest TOT office and pay there

A bit off topic but since they merged TOT and CAT  they have implemented Carrier

grade NAT  breaking dynamic DNS so no access to ipcams or VPN to my home LAN

at my router WAN they assign  a 100.90.***.***  ip address but  checking on any 

"what is my IP"  webpages reports a 182.***.***.*** the only option apparently being to change to a more expensive package  !!!!  ????

You will find the "power of attorney"  form and  other necessary documents in

this file  Vehicle_Transfer_2.zip

If not Thai  then your girlfriend will need to send  a signed copy of her passport picture page and the page with the exit from Thailand page as well as a signed power of attorney form...in extreme cases the DLT may be particularly pedantic and want the cars blue book signed by the current owner too.

I went about 11.30 yesterday,no queue at all and hardly anyone inside..

The brand name above is very nearly an obsenity !

This is about controlling the common folk in the name of Morality using a pandemic as the excuse.  And we are being told by world leaders that pandemics will be with us from here on out.  From 2020 until forever - cyclical pandemics.  Forever pandemics means forever control.

100% agree with you a very sad and disturbing future in store sadly cheered on by quite a few who what to "keep safe"  ????

It was always the same number for me but your mileage may vary  just don't enter the wrong number 3 times.
