Again... try hard... something intelligent at least... your attempts to provoke are so pathetic... and this one hilariously hypocritical... ... You won an award !!!... I'm still laughing about that one... what a loser to count your 'forum' awards as some badge of pride.

I have never been refused beer on a plane. Do you think anyone actually believes your side of this story even if you do. There must of been a very good reason you were refused. Air hostesses are highly trained. It is always someone else’s fault isn’t it? Try harder cock-roach... I'm not biting...

Aww.... Poor Malcy... It was so amusing last time when you boasted about these 'awards' no one cares about... What award was it this time... you won another badge or poster of the day ??? did you cut out sticker and wear it around your bedsit ?

That is even worse Such a dumb comment.... Classic Malcy... completely half-witted pathetic attempt to provoke...

Sure... he was driving along a perfectly straight road... within perfectly safe speeds given the loads and volatility of the loads he was carrying, fully alert.... ... The truck just decided to veer off the road itself...

How many 'safety inspections' were bypassed and regulations ignored before this truck took to the roads ?

Obnoxious wretch... at least she didn't kill or injure any innocent victims.... Its high time anyone caught DUI to such an extent is given an automatic jail sentence.... ..... thats not a minor oversight or a mistake.... .... thats going out, drinking and not giving a rats-arse who she could kill on the way home.... .... and that behavior needs extreme measures to mitigate as its a major killer....

Exactly as the busses have been doing... with extra LNG tanks etc... as you wrote - grease the palms... anything gets through.

Obnoxious animal... Abduction and Impersonating a Police officer - Lets hope they throw the book at him, rather than a soft legal approach (which is what we sometimes see)... I wonder if this will draw the same venom from the posters who were so quick to 'hang him high and deport' the Frenchman who recently forced a sexual encounter with an underage girl (even though this girl was not underage - still just as despicable). Me thinks - because no foreigner was involved, the usual posters will not turn to this thread as they can't post their 'anti-foreign rhetoric' and Thai's behaving obnoxiously does not strike their 'anti-farang' radar with the same impact...

So... You wont need to 'plan' the arrival... TDAC is simple... (just fill out within 3 days of arrival)... Visa on arrival is the same (ensure you have a return ticket or onward travel and meet cash requirements - just in case). Once you have travelled in and out a couple of times (Visa exempt or on a Tourist Visa) you may need to look at a longer term plan / options to ensure you don't raise the eyebrows of the Immigration officers on further trips... (i.e. if retired and over 50, plan on staying here a long time... season 800,000 baht in a Thai account and apply for a Non-Imm O visa based on retirement etc... and ensuing extensions).

I agree, those who hide behind their anonymity just encourages them to continue with this poor behaviour. Even with those with whom I have strong disagreements.... often heated, vitriolic, venomous and highly argumentative debates... At least they have the personality to put a name to and own their objection or accusations.... ... posting an 'anonymous' emoji is spineless... IMO is also fair enough if someone objects to a post to post an emoji showing disagreement... especially if they have already commented - there's no need for repetitive and circular debate then...

Getting 'out-classsed' in the thumbs down emoji stakes has upset you so much you had to post it twice....

Flippin' ek... these unhinged people are everywhere...... **Deport him !!! ... at least he wasn't driving a truck !!! - thats all I can say here... Hopefully his repeated behavior will ensure he is kept away fro hurting innocent people... **M

No - there is nothing from the TDAC system that you need to show when checking in (anywhere) - you can also do the TDAC on arrival in BKK (there are tablet stations for you to do this if you have no smart phone or internet connection on arrival). No, not at all... But you will receive an e-mail (with a QR code) that shows your TDAC has been completed - there is currently no requirement to show this to immgiration officers on arrival. As above, nothing is required in advance, although you can fill out the TDAC in your own convenience up to 3 days before hand. The TDAC replaces the old TM6 arrival card and is for all arrivals, regardless of Visa and is not connected to a visa or visa status.

Yes. The passengers handed their phones to the IO and the IO scrolled through the screen to get to the part they needed to see. When the TDAC is filled out correct and a QR code issued (e-mailed) - Immigration don't need to see anything... All their records are complete and they simply cross check your passport and stamp it.... BUT - if people did 'hand their phones over' its likely because they had an issue with a section, which the Immi Officer was able to clarify and complete their 'submission' on their behalf rather than sending them away to complete it... But - for a complete TDAC - nothing except the passport needs to be handed over to the Immi Officer, no QR code needs to be shown (a used / arriving boarding pass may also be requested)....

there is already so much rant/trolling and personal attacks that showing who gives what emojis would be kaos and personal vendetta would top the site, better stay incognito, let people guess But, it would also show 'who' is trolling certain people with such behavior..... I often see perfectly legitimate posts from certain posters, which are balanced and insightful without any possible indication of conflict or reason to think negatively of the post..... Yet some trolling twit will post a laughing emoji or a thumbs down emoji full in the knowledge that people (or the poster) with think... "Huh !! ???... what on earth is that for"... ... There are those on this forum who take pleasure in trolling others - I think its better that everyone can see it is them who use these tools in such a juvenile manner...

You're not hated by any means... You just have an approach to comments, discussions and opinions that differs from most... If people truly hated you - they'd just put you on ignore....

But the Tri-City serves a complete different purpose... It rides just like a two wheeled motorcycle, it counter-steers to enter a corner, it won't stand up alone..... The Op is looking at this from a more a mobility-scooter perspective - which the TriCity most definitely is not.

.... astonishing how frequently motorcyclists are riding around without any sense of self preservation... Its not as if this motorcyclist inadvertently entered a junction that was empty, there was flowing traffic and the woman rode straight into the side of a car that was following another vehicle... Almost as if they are blind. Will the forums favourite pedantic Road Safety Specialist grace us with his presence in this thread to tell anyone with an opinion on such an RTA in Thailand does not understand traffic safety, that all foreigners here do not know what the (we) are talking about and are racists.... Lets see....

Your opinion. Might not be correct, but you probably know that already I'm not the only poster who has made such comments about his content.... many others have over the past half a year or so.... (and no - I'm not going to go through the forum to dig up examples). With respect for you - you simply show a strong negative bias and that all I'm highlighting.... as far as other posters go, they deliberately provoke.... one then cry's upset when people respond, the other is more calculating in his approach to trigger reaction and conflict.

I don't tell you what you can and cannot write..... Thats your failure to interpret my comments. But, I do call out your clear anti-foreigner bias... thats all - and you show that clearly by choosing to be vocal in the threads where foreigners have 'done something wrong'... IF this were a group of Thai men beating up a security guard, there are three posters who wold never have bothered commenting in this thread... You, SF and Malcy..... as it simply doesn't fit any 'anti-foreigner' agenda any of you carry...

Highlighting a complete lack of understanding of anything other than bigotry... The recent quack did not impact even the tallest buildings of Pattaya in the slightest... All of the buildings in Bangkok handled a 6.0 LM equivalent quake (amplified due its young sedimentary setting)... one building under-construction, not built to 'building code' and with 'counterfeit rebar' collapsed....

Total Hypocrite, or rather, 'teenage girl'..... . you have counted emoji's in the past to claim one of your moronic posts was popular.....

Crawl Refinery.... ExoShell Fuel.....

Or simple operator error... When lifting a load, any excessive rotational movement of the crane, especially beyond its designed operational range, can induce torsional forces within the crane’s structure. When these torsional stresses exceed the structural design limits, the instability and structural deformation can lead to such a catastrophic collapse - I wonder if this is the case here....
