The attachment I used is from the M-flow website. It clearly states that an automatic deduction from the user's M-Pass account is available as a form of payment (which I have). The web page also states, a person can use the M-flow lanes without registration, but must pay the toll within 2 days. It doesn't state how a person goes about paying the toll, or where a person can go to pay the toll. It seems if the toll isn't paid that the fine is something like 10 times the toll price. Anyone using the M-Pass system can go to Krungthai bank and manage it. I went to a branch and the people were clueless as to the M-flow system. Calling the M-flow contact number is an hour wait or more on "hold." T.I.T on steroids. 

I've tried to register for the new M-flow highway system but run into a problem completing the registration process. The website has both a Thai and English version. I labored through the entire process with personal and residency info, photos of vehicle registration, of the front, side, and back views of the car. I ran into a problem with the payment system. I went to the KrungThai bank branch at Central Marina in Pattaya (3 times) for help. According to the M-flow website there are several ways to create an auto payment. Two on these are a credit card or a link to an already existing M-pass account. I tried both and was rejected. The bank said that since my credit card is a foreign one I couldn't use it. They also said I couldn't link it to my existing M-pass account. I tried calling the M-flow hotline, but was put into a waiting list that was over 60 places away from being answered. I waited about 5 minutes and the Q went down 1 number, so I quit the phone. I emailed the M-flow and received a no-reply stating they would get back to me. Haven't heard from them yet. Does anybody know how an expat without a Thai credit card can register? Thank you

Next, they'll be doing one night rentals on flight attendants.

I didn't think anyone who didn't register and have the credit/top up card and the windscreen remote device could use the M-flow lanes. Am I wrong?

It appears from all the information in this forum the last month, that if a person has had 2 Pfizer doses, local vaccination locations in the Pattaya area will not give a Pfizer booster shot. Anyone dispute this statement?

It's funny some people think that the word "legal" has any relevance in Thailand. As for the pickup truck driver, he's just sticking to Thai customs. That's the way it is in Thailand.

Why am I not surprised. He must be the ugliest and fatest man on the force. There are plenty of 18 and 19 year olds that like to boom boom with cops.

I was told from a friend who went to Royal Garden Mall in Pattaya for a Pfizer booster shot. He was turned away and told the people with 2 doses of Pfizer could not receive a Pfizer booster shot. Is this true or was my friend pulling my leg?

At 20 baht per signature, he only had to spend 200,000 baht. I wonder how much the powers that be paid him to try and get rid of Amnesty International?

Once it goes up, it will stay there. Eat chicken.

PEA and PWA can be paid online without ever setting a foot in a 7-Eleven to pay the bills.

 

However there are a few things you should be aware of; (I'm going to digress quite a bit on this one but you have been warned);

 

A few years ago I rented a house to some unscrupulous people who turned they were bad apples and as they were Thai nationals they thought they'd have the upper hand should we go to court, shortly after they refused to pay the rent, honour their internet/PWA/PEA bills and ultimately refused to move out of the property when they were asked to. I could not evict them by force at the time because as they had a tenancy agreement that would have been considered as trespassing so the only way to force them out of the property was using this trick;

 

As I still had the Thai title deed, the company stamps and was the directory of the Co. Ltd which technically owned the property, this is what I did;

 

Step 1) Walked into a bank I had no previous links/affiliations with, I was not a previous customer of.

Step 2) Open a regular debit account and deposit 1,000 THB in said account.

Step 3) Go to the PWA administration and set debit for the water bills on that brand newly opened account.

Step 4) Let the bank account run out of money/lack of funds/lack of provisions on it, intentionally.

Step 5) Wait for the next automatic bill to default payment.

 

At that point what the PWA administration does is:

 

1) They stop issuing paper bills in the mailbox (so the despicable lessee doesn't even know the PWA counter number nor that a new bill has been issued).

2) They PWA administration turns you off within the next 30 to 40 days of past due bills.

 

Within a month those pesky squatters moved out of my property on their own because let's face it; even if it was "free" rent to them, no matter how "nice" the property is, no one wants to stay in a house that has no running water, no power and therefore no internet/TV/WiFi.

 

Doing that was a cheeky move from my end but it was honestly the safest, no confrontational way, no lawyer fees involved and no need to wait on a court hearing date way to get rid of those malevolent people.

 

The reason why I'm telling you this story is for you to understand that in Thailand, setting a direct debit with either of those administrations can be seen as a legally binding, self protecting, non disclosable agreement, once it's been set-up it's nearly impossible for a third party to break, the involved administration will not reveal any details to a third party despite having a tenancy agreement in their hands, so use wisely.

 

And doing a such thing protects you by law, as the lessee has no ways to prove you did this with malicious intent in mind.

 

In this country it's an eye for an eye and you fight fire with fire.

 

I love this story! Not a cheeky move at all, but a well thought out process with great vision. 

I'd like to know the name of the hotel.

If you had a 90 day form with a due date it would not change when you get an extension.  They are seperate from each other.  Only by chance if the 90 day and extension dates are close enough together could you do them at the same time.

Ditto. You have 15 days before and 7 days after the date they stamped for you to report. So what is your report date?

Who knew the BIB had 30,000 working part time at night as entertainers. Anyone for a Thai "full Monty" group?

Why is this projection newworthy? Why don't they let us know after the new year if the hotels were full?

I hope the police get their sisters, daughters, cousins, wives, mia nois, and other miscellaneous friends and relatives to a safe haven just before this awesome crackdown. I'm still wondering why articles like this are newsworthy?

I wonder how many brown envelopes are involved with this scheme?

The BIB all live in Cha Am.

Thanet for Prime Minister!

To advertise 750 bht green fees is the same as seeing a gorgeous ladyboy with big ya-ya's on beach road. Nice eye candy, but a sensible straight guy should definitely avoid. 

What a joke! And I don't mean Big Joke. Although if he was in charge, he'd probably open the bars.

I don't know if they'll come back, but I'd like them to. I miss them.

Wait a minute. What we need here Disney World Thailand. Knock down Pattaya Walking Street and form it around Bali Hai Pier. The families with kids will flock here. Maybe 200 or 300 a day. I can hardly wait to see Mickey and Minnie sweating in those costumes. This also solves the monorail problem whenever that idea pops up again.

So I guess TAT will contract with Universal Studios and Lego Land to build a few complexes

in the former nightlife areas to entice family oriented big spending tourists. I think I'll still continue to go to Singapore and spend do my big spending. They'll have everything plus nightlife, bars and 4 floors of goodies.

I registered with BPH in August for a Modern survey. Haven't heard a word. No worries, I went to Medpark and have two jabs of Phizer already. The clueless in Thailand are mostly working on the vaccine rollout. Their relatives are all in the government trough.
