Different standards for different offices. Chanthaburi Immigration on 5 January I was shown Google maps of our area, asked to point out where our house is, she simply took a screenshot.

English - with a NZ accent? UK news report states that Apicha Boonsawat attended King 's High School in Dunedin, New Zealand - but not how many years he was there.

Bentley looking worse for wear. 13.2 million new, some 'accident depreciation' today Daily News says he's compensating all involved.

Where did the Mercedes come from. As shown on CCTV, he was driving an aged Honda Civic fitted with a roof rack, that's how they identified him. Hi-so BS.

Truly a horrific thought! Cruel on those poor Immigration staff

Hi, my error on above, seems blocked on TOT but available on AIS ... sorted ok!

Thanks. I switched to data on my phone (AIS) and the link works, however on home internet using the laptop (TOT internet) it's blocked. Bizarre. Live and learn! Cheers.

I didn't have to check the fine print; with Southern Cross Travel Insurance there's a prompt as part of the online application - do you require motorcycle cover? - with a Yes/No before continuing towards payment. It's a small additional premium and is highlighted as 'covered' on the one-page confirmation of travel insurance which accompanies the full policy.

I extended my current 45 days (1 December 2022 to 14 January 2023) yesterday at Chanthaburi City Immigration. The 30 days starts from that expiry date of 14 January 2023 (not yesterday's date) and now expires 13 February 2023. As an aside, I read about queues at other offices. I arrived just after 9am - three counter staff available, just one customer ahead of me. Handed over my form, passport, 1900b, 2 baht for a photocopy of the page showing my current 14 January stamp, I was out in less than 15 minutes. Magic! Stylish old building, grounds are being improved, appear to be removing much of the concrete to replace with grass/gardens.

Rather spoils the outrageous and plainly ridiculous fantasy AN detective squad theories.

First motorbike sold at 54,000km, current one on 82,000km. Never had an accident here. Two cycling accidents, one put me in hospital briefly in 2013 (hit by a motorbike/sidecar). Wouldn't change a thing, part of my lifestyle.

Abhisha Boonsawat surrendered 9am this morning; explanation shooting occurred after an incident at an intersection. Apology made to friends and family and admitted the charges. From Khaosod Online

In her case the hospital reported the bite/bike accident to the police who followed up, but took the 'non-owners' word that it was just a dog they fed for years that lived on their property. I asked in a good humoured way if the policeman could just shoot it; response he agreed it would be better for local people if it 'went away' It did, unofficially.

Apologies my error. Re para 2 - the victim was reported as having been in UK 24 December to 4 January, So timeframe could be wrong on prior argument? Anyhow, progress being made.

There's two threads running on this.

Appears (from Matichon News) an arrest made last night. 50 police from Chonburi, fully armed, besieged the suspect's house at the end of Soi 12 approximately 500 meters away from the crime scene. Abhisha Boonsawat, charges of murder, and firearms offences.

This Thai News site FM91BKK states police have issued an arrest warrant for the diver of this white Honda Jazz sedan fitted with a steel frame roof rack. Warrant is for a charges of murder, and for possession, carrying and firing a firearm without cause. Doesn't have any further information but that's real progress given the timeframes.

... dog owners just say, "Not my dog" We encountered this denial of ownership/responsibility when my partner was knocked off her bike while cycling to the gym, and bitten - rabies shots ensued. It was just a dog they fed, not theirs. It 'went away'. They could hardly complain, since it wasn't theirs.

There are more news sources than a brief cut and paste from Pattaya News. Thairath provided more details: Thanasorn Prasad, 22, had driven from Phichit province to visit family in Chonburi province on 6 December 2022. He was reported as missing to police on 8 December 2022.

Name that squirrel (or shrew) These are some of the ones at our place (Chanthaburi) Bananas and papayas are popular.

At one time I understood this was an option for the Minstrel/Phosamton, but it's too far gone for that now. HTMS Prasae
