She must be a hot 40 dance teacher. She was probably on her way to give her 3:30am dance class to novice go-go girls.

I hope the tourist brought their rain ponchos. Remind the kids not to go exploring in tunnels.

Whenever a Thailand hospital sees a foreigner with insurance. All they hear is "Ka-ching, Ka-ching."

Again, this guy says something at least once a week to get his name in the news cycle. Please stop articles with this guys quotes. They've had no substance in the past and it's likely to continue. I'd rather read about what the common Thai is going through nowadays, but I guess nobody wants to hear about so much negative news.

This guy will do anything to get in the news. What's next? He'll probably claim he can stop inflation and lower petrol prices.

Well stated. Put the blame where it belongs.

Another "planning too, considering, may, will likely" article. blah, blah, blah.

Why do you care what these people look like?

Too many people saying what they want to do, knowing it will never get done. Please report articles about what actually gets done after it get done. I'd rather read about massage girls getting busted by special forces because it's beliveable and we all know that the brown envelopes were a little light. By the way, don't the people in the photo know that there's a mask mandate in large close gatherings?

When are we going to see the "enactment" and finger pointing?

Let me know when the end of the Thai pass actually happens. I'm getting tire of "considering an end to" articles. I would rather know where I can buy some cannabis gummies.

Just make a list of national parks and I'll know where not to go. I've been to Khao Yai national park and there's really nothing to see or do. No facilities of any merit. So I'm happy not to contribute to these money gouging schemes.

Is this limited to Bangkok or is it nationwide?

Had a friend who just returned fom Australia on the 8th. He is 78 years old and could not buy the insurance for the 30 day coverage from a Thai company. He told me that the cutoff was 75 years old. So he had to buy some very expensive insurance from a Australian company. If you're under 75 forget I mentioned this. For those 76 and over-beware.

Thanks for the laughs! Next mothers with babies on motorbikes will have a car seats strapped to their chests. And factory airbags will be mandatory on motorbikes instead of a child airbag.

I went to that fried chicken stall outside 7-11. That Nok is kinda ugly. I can understand why treetops like her.

OK. Let me shorten the list. Does 7-11, Family Mart, Amazon Coffee shops accept QR payments?

Does anyone have a list of Pattaya businesses that accept QR code payments?

How does the QR work? What is the payment linked too?

Can a foreign credit card be used for a nouserpayment? How does the QR payment work? Is it linked to a bank account or a debit card? When I tried to register I tried to us my Visa and Mastercard. I received to attached messages. I call the bank that issued both my cards and they stated that my Visa was Verified by Visa enabled and that my mastercard was 3D (secured code) enabled.

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with M-Flow problems. I went to Krungthai Bank and showed them the notice about which payment channels to link and they told me that the M-Flow is a different system. No joy. I don't know why they put that credit card payment channel at the end of registration, when they know it's no go. There was a poster that had a link to nouserpayent site. I put in my vehicle details and it reponded with "no outstanding notices" which was true since I haven't dare go into the M-Flow. I'm going to Nakorn Sawan from Pattaya this weekend and I'll try the M-Flow lanes on the way back and see what happens. https://mflowthai.com/mflow/unuserpayment

I've posted before about registration problems during the payment channel selection. Although the M-Flow website states that a credit card, debit card, or link to a M-Pass account can be used. Apparently foreigners cannot use these payment channels. Then I called the contact center and received a cue number of 60 waited 5 minutes and it finally went down to 59. I waited a week and tried the call center again and received a cue number of 2 in English. Waited 5 minutes and the call was disconnected by the call center. I called back and received a cue number of 20 in Thai language and waited 40 minutes until it was at number 1. I then waited another 70 minutes at cue number 1 (on speaker) before I cancelled the call. I suspect that it took 40 minutes for others to get frustrated and cancel their calls so I could get to number 1 in the cue. I watched a M-Flow video on Youtube which was in Thai language so I couldn't really understand. But they did show about 10 operators at the call center. After all the hurdles an expat has to cross over and all the regulations we have to "grin and bear" this getting through this M-Flow mess has been the most frustrating.

Thanks for the link for nonuser payments. I'm going from Pattaya to Nakorn Sawan this weekend and will try and use the link to pay. I've try the M-Flow contact number and received a cue number of 2 in English. After a 5 minute wait the call was disconnected. Then I call again and the cue number was 20 in Thai. It took 40 minutes to get to number 1 in the cue. then I waited another 40 minutes at number 1. By that time, I figured that the first 40 minutes was due to people who just got frustrated waiting and cancelled the call. Which I did at one hour of waiting at number 1 in the cue. I watch a video on uTube which was in Thai so I couldn't understand what they were saying, but they showed the call center with about 10 representatives calling on telephones. What a system. T.IT. Just another bullet to bite if you're an expat.

Doe's anybody know how or where to pay for using the M-Flow lanes for non-registered vehicles? Apparently the M-Flow auto payment system is not available to people who do not have a Thai credit card. I have tried to use my Thai debit card, My foreign credit card, and my M-Pass E-pay card as a payment channel at the end of the M-Flow online registration process with failed results.

My wife complained to me that her somtan seller just raised her price from 60 bht to 105 bht. The good news is that she went to the market and bought her own ingredients started making the somtam herself.
