I wonder if Europeans forget that they are driving/riding on the opposite side of the road to their homeland ?

Doesn't look like brake failure. 

Looks like he has his foot down to enable him to drive up the steepish slope then fails to do his u turn quickly enough .

 I only went to get a TIN with a yearly bank statement as they had earlier requested and somehow ended up filing a return!The tax officer started to fill it in without me even realising what was happening or asking any questions.Luckily I had a copy of my wife's and her son's id cards to show her so I got all my allowances and deductions....

Did you have to provide a Marriage certificate , or is the wife's I.D. card sufficient for proof of marriage ?

Lucky last night , Harry was well offside when he headed in the winner.

Follow up to this.

Yesterday and this morning , some locals are trying to get the Head of the school removed.

The Police have arrived as things are getting heated.

The locals are worried that their kids are not learning and that the Head of the school is only there for a few hours a day .
Apparently he lives an hour or so away , he arrives late and leaves early .

. Deleted.

Burning season ere in Ratchaburi , the usual Black snow and the smoky haze .
But I woke up this morning and open the doors , in all the time I have been here I have never seen or smelled smoke so strong.

Within a minute , eyes stinging and watering , and the smell is throughout the house now.

There must have been a lot of burning in the night.
But not to worry , I am sure next year will be different as the government will have it under control......😡

Why don't you get from March 2024 to Jan 2025 on your app. Then ask for Jan and Feb of 2024 at the bank , okay it will cost you 400 baht for those 2 months , but you will be up tp date and from Jan to Dec 2025 you can get it on your app.

fwhen the bank(s) ask I'll give it a go at a main AiS shop, we only need to change my number over.

I did mine yesterday , me and the wifey went to an AIS shop , Passport , her ID card as the SIM was in her name.

Quick photo lined up with the Passport , a code was sent to my phone for confirmation which the AIS lady then dealt with.
In and out in 10 mins.

Quick screenshot from the other day .

Airing on Channel 11 of the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT), the half-hour show will be broadcast on the first Sunday of every month from 8am to 8.30am. For those who prefer to stream, it will also be available on government and public relations department websites and social media,

At least it is not once a week on every channel like Prayut was.

The crash occurred at a curve in the road, causing him to lose control and crash.

I think it was the drink that caused that  , not the curve.

I still have mine from 2017 , I thought the number was required when we do the yearly extension and if you have to do the 90 day at your office ?

The man's parents, who were out of town in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, are on their way back to assist with the situation.

I don't know which is more pathetic , the " don't care attitude of the police " or the " we have told your mum and dad , and now you are in for it scenario "

Can the police not arrest him , what happens if he shoots mum and dad ? or worse still Somchai public.

The police in this case should be dealt with by their superiors..........I know, never happens.

I see Nat West are closing thousands of their high street banks .

Lots of unemployed joining the ranks.

Ratchaburi....
Every night this week there is a real strong smell of smoke in the house , and in the morning a smoky haze and the stench of burnt cane.

If not behind it , pound to a penny Johnson knew about it.

Under Thai law, the offence carries penalties of up to three years imprisonment, a fine of up to 60,000 baht, or both

So that's settled then , 500 baht fine and a Wai , plus 500 baht fine for waking the police up at such an ungodly hour......😀

but you do also have some weird rule in Thailand about giving priority to those on the left.

Give way to the right on a Roundabout or as the Thais call it " a Rotary "

Section 73 (500 – 1000B)
[A driver must comply with traffic signals and signs which are installed at a circle (rotary). (1000B)

If there’s no traffic signal or sign installed at a circle (rotary), a driver must give way to vehicles coming from his right. (500B)
