It’s quick - just go to the DLT. They will need their ID & full Thai Driving license (not a 2 year temp one).

Sure it is… ….If it’s ok with you to have your comment being called out for being ‘bitter & pathetic’…. That’s just my opinion… of your ‘unhinged’ comment… Much worse are the screaming rice-rockets being ridden by helmet-less lunatics….

If that fear is a daily concern & someone feels they need to check such things every time someone knocks the door then serious consideration may be given towards moving somewhere safer !

Why both of them ? Did both the French guys attack the Thai guy ? or, did one of them get into a flight with the Thai Guy ?

That’s awful, at your own home too. The police are inherently lazy unless social media forces their hand, or money persuades them. Do you have any evidence ? (Home security CCTV?) Perhaps push the police again, ask them why they are not responding to a crime… etc… just give them a nudge.

You saw the video??? I’m not defending the French guy, but the Thai guy looked like a willing participant in a fight…..

Some obvious hate on this forum… It’s just a motorcycle !!! People either like the brand or they don’t, but some of the comments seem pathetic & quite bitter… probably posted by guys who can afford one & wouldn’t know how to ride one anyway

No reports anywhere of the French guys account of what happened. & why both arrested ? Surely it was only one of them involved in the flight. There is still a lot of missing information, or us the media being selective about ‘only’ reporting the ‘nice car’ comment from the wife, who as we can see from one of the videos is already lying (the Thai guy clearly a participating party in the fight).

An outrageously vague question Spark…. You surely know better than this…

I think so… Did the motorcyclist accidentally damage / scratch the Porsche trying to squeeze through a gap which wasn’t there & then try & escape….???? ——— In the past I had quite a decent car, a taxi driver reversed out of a space straight into me & then tried to escape. I had to block him, then jump out of the car & grab his license (off the dash)… His excuse, he had no insurance & knew he couldn’t afford to pay for any damage to an expensive car. He was petrified…. I let him go & just let my insurance cover the damage - less hassle & no need to get angry. Thus, if the motorcyclist damaged the car & then tried to escape that would explain the anger from the French guys (but not excuse their actions). I wonder if there will be a follow up, or as usual, we’ll only get half the story..

Not wishing to victim blame, but something triggered the altercation…. Definitely more to the story…. People, Thai, French, Western or anyone else just don’t get out of their vehicle & kick the cr@p out of someone else for no reason. No excuse for their behaviour & the car is irrelevant.

Who cares? We know exactly what / who he is referring of / to,regardless the exact specifics of the spelling or pronunciation….

Blue plates ( blue background / white digits ) = Embassy plates ( car brought into Thailand through diplomatic channels, tax not paid ). Green plates ( green background / white digits ) = Business vehicles, airport & hotel taxis etc.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Thailand

‘Major review… Soon’ ??? …When ?…. You state your blind guess as fact. ‘Been in the wings for some time’ ?? Make stuff up much ? ’resisted by RTP & army who don’t want police to have power’…. Erm…. Huh ??? ????

There is no ‘pre-pay’ with Grab… it’s just cashless payment once arrived at destination. There is more recourse than with a regular taxi - both your details & the drivers are logged… thus complaints can be made & are acted upon. Bolt price is nearly always cheaper… But, I’ve hardly ever found their drivers available…. Bolt are more hit n miss with availability IMO.

Pay ‘cash’ when you get to your destination, yes. (unless something has changed on the App in the last month or so).

Fair enough…. My comment may have appeared as if I was being a d!ck… not my intention…. I meant for the Op to just give it a go - though trial & error is the easiest way to learn & work it out. It does seem the Ops only option is to add his local card details if he wants cashless payment on Grab.

Grab accepts cash, or you can use your cashless payment option.

Download the App & try it out - that’s the only true test. I’ve found Bolt to be very ‘hit n miss’ in Bangkok - some areas of town seem better than others for Bolt…

Yes… you simply add your Card. Verification is via OTP to your phone.,

Bolt is cash only.

Add your local bank card… Does your ATM card have a 16 digit number on the front (like a credit card) ??? I just added my Bangkok Bank account (ATM master Debit card) - no issues adding that.

in the ‘payment’ tab (bottom of screen, middle one of 5 options) select the ‘gear / cog’ At top right, you can add your card. Do you have a Thai credit card ? My Grab payment is just linked to that. Or, you can add your ATM / Debit card from your local Bank account. With grab as a foreigner you have one option for payment & can’t use the ‘grab wallet’ function.

Quite restrictive for football though… we need that articulation of the ankle but just need that little extra support to prevent a roll. I also use something like this… https://www.supersports.co.th/nike-nike-pro-2.0-ปลอกรัดข้อเท้า-ดำ-97103.html?gbraid=0AAAAADHWTnwzeYXBxZYx1wPgUKjSO4PUk&gbraid=0AAAAADHWTnwzeYXBxZYx1wPgUKjSO4PUk&gclid=CjwKCAjwkaSaBhA4EiwALBgQaLCpsLbi3C1-FGj4WS9fe8NWhmAiXhp-hNn-md88PCD4pyURMW82dhoCxjUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

As above…. it’s incredibly simple…. I‘m quite surprised the question needs to be asked. If you are particularly tech-unsavvy, perhaps get a friend to help. or… just download the App & give it a go… its not as if you‘ll blow something up if a small mistake I made…
