If the AAIB apportioned blame to the crash, and resulting deaths of those on board the helicopter, due to helicopter defect then they may have a claim. The amount would be in question. Remains to be seen.

If true, that's quite impressive. I rarely go long distance by car in the city. Normally opt for BTS/MRT or ride my motorcycle. Could the opening of all the new rail lines have something to do with this? What about the economy in the city too? I see a huge number of businesses shuttered and not opening in areas outside the city core (namely Ladprao and environs).

Chomps can't have been to Stratford in the last few years.

In the UK the 5g signal is S. He. I. T. E. On most networks in recent times. Here in Thailand it's full strength just about everywhere. Not sure if it's true (no pun intended I'm with ais), but I read that it's to do with UK banning Huawei mobile base station equipment - therefore shortage of replacements. I'm sure that here in Thailand, Huawei is likely the prime supplier of mobile base stations. Certainly, even my 3BB fibre router is Huawei. Enjoy the 5g to the max.

Thai will for Thai assets (condo, vehicle and 800k in Thai bank) costs about 5,000 Baht. What the Thai lawyers will not tell, unless pushed, is that to conduct probate will cost upwards of 150,000 Baht from your estate to handle probate and disburse to benefactors. Best to disburse yourself before demise if possible.

Totally agree that most likely was the case. EVs are very quiet so it's quite possible that she was going faster than she realised. Red Plate=Red Flag for me when I see red plate cars I'm always cautious to keep well away, as previous experience shows their driving often erratic.

Good lad. His weight loss regime could be wide and varied in Thailand. Along with the Muay Thai and running, he's sure to be tempted by horizontal aerobics with some willing local lasses. I wish him all the best in quests (and conquests).

My GF, mother and I, stayed at Mandolis with Nawar in February 2020. Such a lovely gentleman and vision he had. A real shame that it all came to nothing and he left.

Save money. Adopt a soi dog. It will love you and is less likely to eat you.

Quite disgusting reading. What would be good to know, is how all these assets were acquired and how much she pays, or has paid in tax to the country?

Fortunately their parachutes opened. Unlike the base jumper who died in Pattaya last year.

Just got back from a morning walk along the "beach" at Pattaya. Nearly the whole length of the beach road pavement is setup with food vendor stands. A huge area near klang is setup with stage and stand seating for VIPs. No thanks! We won't be going anywhere near beach road tonight. It'll be total chaos. After a nice dinner for twelve of our group, we will still see the fireworks from another uncrowded point not far away.

Not sure what "Alternative music" is. In my experience, Thailand has a decent amount of live music. Venues open and close and some oldies just keep going. As mentioned above, Saxophone pub (unnofical page - their website appears broken), has good jazz and different bands each night of the week. Normally 2 or 3 bands per night starting at 8pm. No cover charge and food served. If you want Thai style as an "alternative", then any of the Tawan Daeng pubs https://g.co/kgs/hw9P6Te are a good night out. Not just music but stage shows too. The one in Rama 3 is my favourite. Good food and beer too. Again, no cover charge but best to book in advance. Also, Saeng Jan (many venues all over Thailand), offer similar to Tawan Daeng. Don't be surprised if you, as a foreigner, are a minority of one in these places. I've had some good party nights and the Thais are friendly anf fun.

From walking through the door at BKK to international check in desk to security to immigration to Singapore Airlines lounge took me less than 20 minutes 2 weeks ago. This was with a foreign passport. How much faster could it be with, so called, digital ID?

The Base. Has it stopped the AIRBNBs I wonder?

She should talk with the security staff and explain her ailment that prevents her raising her arms. There are werll trained female staff who can easily, and sensitvely screeen her, in private, if neccessary. It is no big deal. Just talk to the security staff.

Office 365 as I need to use Outlook Cyberlink Power Director 365 The benefit to me of subscriptions is regular feature (and bug/security) updates to the software. Recently, Acronis back-up, tried to push an annual subscription on me but no thanks. They still offered purchase (I hadn't upgraded for years), but they made finding and buying the one off purchase very difficult. As for operating systems, when was the last time anyone paid for one recently? Last time I bought an OS was Windows 10 for a self built PC in 2015. Nowadays, buying a pre-built PC or laptop, the OS is inludeded and gets free upgrades such as from Win 10 to Win 11. Expect that to continue.

The Manchester police should have prosecuted immediately the CCTV evidence was shown. It is clear that the alleged perpetrators had brown skin, although the colour of skin makes no difference. A poster above may have alluded that the reason for them not being charged so soon, may have been skin colour. I tend to agree. Now, in the UK, people with brown skin are immigrants, or descended from immigrants. British people are white skinned. So are many European immigrants. Many, or most, brown skinned immigrants are from a different religion than the main religion in the UK. White skinned immigrants are not. These are facts. Not racist beliefs (before any lefties chime in).

1) The Thai "guide" likely could not speak Russian. Therefore, the Russian tourists could not understand the Thai guide's warnings and instructions. 2) "Forfeits tens to hundreds of billions of Thai Baht". Bulls.hite, if Russian tour guides were allowed, it may well bring even more Russian tourists to Thailand, knowing they can get better tours from a guide who understands their needs and speaks their language. Could make this so called, protectionist commentary rules up. Suck it up Thailand, and licence foreigners as tour guides. Watch the visitor numbers, and revenues increase!

I just looked into my purchase records. In 2010, I bought two 5 ft (UK King size), Slumberland Baron mattreses from Index Living Mall. They've been excellent mattresses over the years. Firm and not too soft for a good night's sleep (many guests have slept well). Combined with Soak&Sleep luxury mattress protectors and John Lewis Egyptian cotton linens and 4.5 Tog Hungarian Goose Down duvets imported from the UK. The mattresses cost 15,000 Baht each 14 years ago. Anything under 25,000 Baht for good quality is reasonable price these days.

Russian, British, American, Australian or European. Number one thing to know in Thailand, is don't <deleted> with Thai security guards (or any Thai guys or motorsai riders or taxi drivers). It will never end well for the non-Thai. Just don't do it.

What others have written is best advice. Passport->air ticket->get to airport->pay fine->fly out. BUT, the biggest worry should be getting from Mae Sot to either Chiang Mai or Bangkok without getting detained. I took a bus from Mae Sot to Bangkok in 2016. The bus was stopped, and boarded by immigration officers checking documents no less than 3 times (they got several Burmese off the bus). And that was before passing Kampaeng Phet. This would be the biggest risk in my opinion.

Anyone coming from the UK and intending on driving a car or riding a motorcycle in Thailand should obtain an International Driving Permit in advance (unless having a Thai licence). You should also carry your UK driving licence. Thai police enjoy stopping foreigners in tourist hotspots such as Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai (I've seen and experienced this). An IDP is only £5.50 and easy to obtain in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/driving-abroad/get-an-idp

Using a jet-ski can be dangerous enough. Using a jet-ski in dark? Well that's just plain reckless and asking for trouble. No rentals after 5pm, and all back on shore by 6-6:30pm should be in the rules for these operators.
