There's an easy way for immigration officials to avoid criticism and that's simply to open all counters (in and out) and get the staff to process passengers quickly. Is it really beyond their ability? They know the flight schedules and when it's likely to be busy <deleted>!

There was a lengthy thread on Nirun last year. A friend of my GF had a room at Nirun. Big room and it was nice inside. It was just getting to the room. The approach, the lift lobby and then the hallway with all the security grills on the doors. Resembled a prison. People around there were ok but I never walked in at night.

Closed both my Thai and UK PayPal accounts. No need for their nonsense. In the last 9 months, not missed PP at all. Good riddance!

Virtually all the Thai property owners I've ever met, acquired their property/land from family, owned in the family, from many, many decades past. Would be interesting to know the figure on actual new purchases of land such as the 1 Rai (amount proposed for foriegners) for self building by Thais. This of course, excepting the purchase of moo baans and condos. Very few I suggest.

I drink Sangson and Coke Zero and love it but find that after 1 small bottle get the munchies and the Grab Food app gets used for a large KFC with large fries ???? No weight loss here.

We built up a platform of 1 Rai to build a house and garden etc. and our remaining 9 Rai was planted with oil palm. It paid it's way for sure as a local tended it for us. We divorced some time ago so not sure what the ex-wife is doing with the land now.

No mention of what "metal" was stolen but nuts would be low value steel. In the UK there has been a huge problem with cable theft for the more valuable copper content. Wouldn't be surprised if that becomes a thing here. In the UK the authorities imposed rules on scrap metal dealers requiring ID and recording all purchases and only sending payment into bank accounts (rather than cash) for scrap meatl transactions.

Had a neighbouring land owner try this with our land about 15 years ago before we started to develop it (was originally rice field). Mysteriously, the concrete marker pegs could no longer be located and neighbour had planted out his land and part of ours, with oil palm trees. I thought something was amiss as trees that I thought were ours, had been chopped down. We called in the land office and they sent out survey team with GPS locators and placed in new pegs. We got about 7 metres of our land back. We then built a large embankment on that side of the property. End of issue.

disk defragmentation does not free up space or delete files. It simply moves data around on the HDD to speed up system. It's largely redunadant on recent PCs that used SSD disks (the OPs WIN7 is likely to be running HDD).

It's a long time since I used WIN7 but is it still receiving updates? Maybe doing a "disk clean" up of "system files" in "windows administrative tools" might remove a good few GB of space. Especially if you have never done that before. I also use CCLEANER FREE which can essentially do the same thing and more. Can also disable startup applications for faster boot times.

You say it "keeps filling up". What do you do to create more space again? What types of files are filling it up?

I like the cheese and spinach toastie. Often out of stock though so always happy to find them available.

Agreed. Normally good all over. Today (Sat 29th Oct) took two bolts. First from Nong Nooch Gardens to Dusit Thani and the driver was excellent. Very helpful loading my family and wheelchair etc. Took best route to avoid the back up to beach road (Bikini Run) and used lots of side sois rather than North Pattaya Road traffic. Same fare as quoted and he got a good tip. Second bolt was about two hours ago from Soi 3 to 3rd Road near Xcyte. Driver very friendly and knew all the back sois. Very fast and smooth trip. Interestingly he was driving and Isuzu D-Max pick-up truck with extended cab (not 4 door). Very happy with bolt today and both arrived within 3 minutes of booking. Finding destinations with bolt is never a problem as can place the pin right on top of where one wants to go. The main issue I ever have with bolt is either unavailability or long/inaccurate wait times for a vehicle

I bought a new Toyota Hilux Vigo in 2005 and drove from Nakhon Si Thammarat to Loei and back via downtown Bangkok with no plates. Even got stopped for speeding (legit) and having no plates was no issue at all. Getting white plates takes minutes at DLT. It seems to me that dealers are just too lazy to do the paperwork promptly.

How could the Palang Pracharath party offer political favours to any donor? Only the ruling Generals in power can do that!

If you don't have the skills, or fear, riding a motorcycle in Thailand then don't ride. Simples.

The locals are preparing for the next hunting expedition. Much tastier than Gai Baan. On a more serious note, I have witnessed these birds in the wild in both Khao Yai, Thailand and in Southern Myanmar. Truly amazing to hear and see them in the wild. I hope that they are prolific in expanding in numbers.

You should be able to access records. How many AGMs have you attended? What is your relationship with manager and committee members like? Without naming project, what are your specific concerns? Amounts involved? Have you asked WHY they are refusing access to records? Remind them, that as your JPM they are in your employ (although commitee could be in cahoots of wrongdoing). Thankfully, after 13 years in my project, all has been good though no body can predict the future. I have been asked to join comitee but declined as too much work - thouigh may reconsider. Please share.

The damage done by a hack to your Google account can be catastrophic. Imagine you're a YouTuber, a business with GoogleAds, with Adsense, analytics, online documents, presentations, spreadsheets or similar. A hacker could delete and ruin your whole business or income stream forever. 2FA just makes sense. It is not a burden for the protection it gives.

Unlikely. Ka-ching!

If you're in Thailand then see how much support you get with that belief from the local population.

Aren't most male and female Israelis required to serve national military service? They would like be very accustomed to carrying, handling and using ammunition. How he came to have it in Thailand was not stated. Still, he should have known that there was a good chance of it being discovered but likely he didn't see it as an issue. The Thais seem to be quite good at scanning checked-in baggage these days. I was reported by Thai authorities to UK customs who were waiting for me and my checked-in baggage 2 months ago. My suspected crime was carrying ashes of a deceased friend back to the UK. Looked like organic matter on the scan - as I had all the paperwork there was no issue. My point being, the Thais do scan well and will report suspicious items. Just try getting a power bank through! No chance!!!

That's what I worried about and delayed turning on 2FA (referred above as 2-step). Actually it's no issue as it's the device that gets authorised and changing sim does not require re-verification. Many more websites and companies will require this soon and Google seems to do a better job of it than most others.

From the order quoted by @Lite Beerabove it does seem that the IO got it wrong. Good luck with trying to get it corrected. IMO Chaeng Wattana are usually the straightest and most professional of offices. I never let my account go 1 Satang less than the stated amount ever. This avoids any chance of an issue such as the above. Might not be fair but arguing unlikely to be successful. Op, go back on the date they stated and be warned for the future.

Not a total list but hipflat, fazwaz and ddproperty are the best known.
