  1. Stand beside any food cart and just watch the plastic and foam insanity....an absolute disgrace ...
    Are there alternative containers for
    "super heated noodles to go" that are cheap and readily available....the foam yes I've seen some paper alternatives....more expensive maybe ? yes paper cups for drinks but a plastic bag of coca cola hanging from the motorbike wing mirror is still popular...and cheap...
    If I was earning 350 baht per day I'd be looking for the cheap option.

    Maybe if the "Poom Jai Thai" party pledge
    to make growing and ownership of marijuana gets enacted they can use hemp
    Instead of foam or (wood pulp) paper
    Just need to figure out how to make it waterproof ....errrm a plastic bag ? [emoji12]

  2. If when you say tourist visa you mean an actual visa issued from a Thai embassy or consulate not a 30 day stamp on arrival then yes it should be possible...your home country embassy may be willing to issue a "certificate of residence" if immigration won't.
    + if you have a motorcycle licence from your home country already...then you could use that or "exchange" it for a Thai one with only vision tests....no theory or practical test.

  6. The same is smoking in the first place
    Maybe a jet engine burning hundreds of liters of kerosene per hour at high altitude is less environmentally damaging than a packet of cigarettes puffed in the "smoking room" ? ?
  7. A better way to do it (though a bit technical)

    is by running a CAT5 cable from existing router to the upper floor  then plugging in an old/second hand Wifi router to the CAT5 cable    set the "old/second hand" Wifi router up as repeater if the firmware enables that...or if not set  it to a fixed IP address and disable its DHCP server then setup its WiFi settings.

    the basic idea from the link below

    http://unixetc.co.uk/2014/03/04/reuse-a-spare-bt-home-hub-as-a-wireless-access-point/

     

    or if you don't have a spare wifi router

    https://www.lazada.co.th/products/tp-link-wireless-n-access-point-300mbps-tl-wa801nd-white-i160571485-s193375918.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlistcategory.list.2.2ea97e09IyMYY2&search=1

     

    Using the CAT5 cable and access point will give better results than trying to boost a weak signal.

  8. As far as I know, if you have a non-immigrant visa you will get a 5 year license when you renew.  Usually dated to your NEXT birthday after 5 years.
     
    If you have a tourist visa, then your new license will only be for 2 years - from the date you renew it.
     
    (Cost is 110bt per year that they give you)
    Also if you have the "elite" visa you only everr get the 2 years "temporary" licence.

    Two things nobody seems to have mentioned.

    1. The motorbike rider appears to have been wearing a helmet,unsecured, which popped off on impact by the car.

    2. Why was the motorbike in the right hand - 3rd lane?

    1: Yes looks like he didn't fasten the strap.

    2: Because that's where he wanted/needed to be..its not against the law for motorcycles to use the right hand lane and certainly doesn't excuse the idiot car driver ploughing straight through.

    maybe it will become like in the past, when all countries in the world used 1 version of 1G mobile networks while US had their own version of 1G supported basically only by US companies?!

    Trump would like that I suppose... Lots of jobs for Americans  reinventing the wheel.

    “I also would like to ask the new elected government to correct this strategy by building the large few wastetoenergy plants, which have higher pollution control standard, instead of small many wastetoenergy plants,” he said.

    All plants should have "the higher pollution control standard"    

    ohhh by the way  stop burning the fields and collet the rubbish so villagers don't have to burn it...

    large fines for burning...

     

    A full list of official government  refuse and recycling points  where citizens can take their rubbish  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
