  1. As is pointed out in other comments "Up to them". However, let's hope the reduction in a single time period accompanies an increase in the number of individual entries permitted for genuine tourists. eg. Someone fortunate to have a roster to allow multiple short visits can do so (and spend their money honestly whilst experiencing Thailand culture, temples, etc). I'm not sure the 'powers that be' think things through.
  2. It would be interesting (compelling?) to see the data listing criminals charged and their 'type of entry' (ASEAN short stay, 30 day, 60 day, non immigrant long stay). I have doubts that the 60 day visa has led to attracting a group of people who attend for criminal purposes (compared to other entry types), but I could accept data.
  3. I wonder if this will be as effective as charging foreigners more to enter National Parks so the extra monies collected could be spent on maintenance.
  4. My Kasikorn account cash daily withdrawl amount was lowered from 30k to 20k without import from me. This also applies to "Scan Pay", however transfers of higher amounts work. I enquired at my Bank and was informed 'Thai government decision'. Imagine if (when) there's no option to keep cash handy available.
  5. I find the move to Linux very easy. You can have a dual boot system, with your Windows as an alternative (safety net / comfort). There is a learning curve, but it wasn't steep and there are many videos, articles to assist you. As far as hardware retirements, Linux does not need as much as Windows. It's worth trying, even on a bootable USB drive. Good luck.
  6. Not a Dr or giving medical advice, but it sounds like you're being milked. Attend a decent government hospital (I'll suggest Suranaree University of Technology Hospital, Nakhon Ratchasima fits that description). An uncomfortable condition. I know someone who had a similar condition diagnosed (including blood tests, ultrasound, medicine) for about 2,000 baht. Surgery was 2 weeks later costing less than 40k baht. Note it was a similar condition (hydrocele not varococele). Good luck.
  7. I tried a few air con places without success for smaller problems. This place replaced the system (non genuine) at prices I was satisfied with. 2007 Honda City.
  8. The only reason I've heard for cessation of sales between 2pm and 5pm is to 'protect (prevent) schoolchildren from buying alcohol'. There may be other 'reasons' of which I'm unaware. If that is the true reason I'm confused why asking for production of a National ID card (bearing date of birth) combined with possible wearing of school uniform would not suffice.
  9. 0.0278096742% death rate. No death would be better, but let's not forget what was done last time. 99.9721903258 is a pretty good survival rate with most diseases.
  10. I realise it's a powerful drug /addiction and accept smoking rooms will help users, but consider a double door system /airlock to separate those areas. I dont mind what others choose to put in their lungs, but please don't inflict it on other people.
  11. A couple of strategies will help. (1) scatter sand on top of the soil. This discourages snails and slugs from proceeding (as it uses up their slimre. (2) egg shells that have been rinsed then broken into smaller pieces achieves the same result, but tends to last longer. (Edit was to correct spelling)
  12. The musician Carabao has a drinks 'factory' producing energy drinks, soft drinks and drinks labeled as 'Carabao...' I think the 'Dunkel' is very good and he also produces an IPA (as well as others) under the brand 'Tawandaeng'. Local prices (slightly more than the big producers) and well worth trying if you like that kind of drink. Bring on the home brewing for personal consumption.
  13. Hardly an allegation since sentencing follows conviction. When many members of a population customarily steal from each other, it becomes culture and therefore acceptable to the many. They know they can/will steal from someone else at the next 'opportunity', keeping the money moving. So does honest behaviour, but I'm not sure it will catch on as a habit.
