I took the bike to another agent and they just changed the oil, so that tells me the first agent did not change the oil at all and still charged me. Anyway thanks for your input.

Did the first 'service center' put the detail of what they did in the service logbook? 

Honda also has their online system for each bikes, if the dealers used them, the 2nd place you went to could have checked that or you could have told them that you were already charged for oil change last time.... or did you even went to the same place?

if you showed up with no logbook and don't tell them anything and they see the change oil light on, of course they're gonna charge you for a full service unnecessarily 

the forza has service reminder light, maybe they forgot to reset that or don't know how or that it need to be reset when you had the oil changed

Lets say the car failed at the yearly car inspection(for cars older than 7 years?), do they keep that record in the computer or a you free to try another garage?

the garage sends their inspection report, with video of the test to the DLT so that they can't just test random car, but looks like they only keep it for a couple of weeks, cause if you went to pay for road tax later than the date on inspection report, the inspection you'd done is no longer on file and you have to have another one done.

But I think you are suppose to return to the same garage in case you failed, subsequent test is then half priced, if you go to other garages you have to pay full price 

did they have blood donation at the school?

If on the other hand I am mistaken and the Op wants the 'kid to pay'... Does the kid have the Por-ror-bor (3rd party insurance) for his bike ?

 

If not... then its going to be difficult to get any money without police involved. If so, then the insurance should chase it up. 

 

 

the compulsory 'por ror bor' third party only covers injuries, not damages to vehicle or property even if the OP had first class insurance, his insurer will be going after the kid for damages

Just considering, once you get Thai passport, doesn't your child also need US Visa on that passport to travel? 

if the child has US passport, show both at the airline check in and there's no trouble

Perhaps I am not understanding the issue correctly, but why can't the boy simply travel to the US on his US passport? 

When mu wife who holds both US and Thai passports travels to the US she always usses her US passport., and returns on her Thai

Once when my wife's Thai passport was expired and we needed to come to Thailand ASAP and did not have time to renew it, she got an emergency travel document from the Thai embay in the US, it was essay. 

so If when returning to Thailand your son would need to return with his Thai passport  as he should to eliminate overstay and visa issues, and since he does not have one, just get an emergency travel document. 

Apologies if I misunderstood the issue. 

 

Imagine a child-smuggling operation, they could obtain foreign passport for a child and take any child out of Thailand if the authorities don't check for entry stamp on the foreign passport. 

Obtaining  a Thai passport for a child require consent or presence of both parent at least

Any foreign national exiting Thailand without a corresponding entry stamp on their passport would be very suspicious indeed, how did they enter? if they had other passport they used why did they switch? 

Same day passport is available from Chaeng Wattana office only, don't go to any other office

You need an emergency travel document, easier than passport, try embassy. 

There are no Thai embassy in Thailand that can issue emergency travel document 

is it fair that this case gathered so much media attention and public consciousness that he had the maximum book thrown at him?  probably not but as an officer of the law he should have known better

Any airline that doesn't have a phone number, email address or a real customer service people to help you when you have

an issue and only a BOT to address your queries, is an airline i will never fly again with no matter how cheap they're and 

AirAsia is one of them...

problem is that most of the Thai domestic airlines currently operating are worse, in terms of punctuality and not cancelling flights, if your destination is not served by Bangkok Airways, AirAsia is the choice over other airlines 

same issue with bum gun hoses, often the cause of many floodings in condo buildings when owners left to go on holiday

I suppose you could adapt the metal sleeved or braided water hose usually use to connect faucets or shower heads, but those can leek too

I think the CCS conector has MAC address like a computer, so it probably uses that to identify your vehicle

some recent report in thai EV facebook groups about PEA auto charging malfunctioning and people have their account showing charging in ocations where they couldn't have and being deducted, might better keep an eye on charge history if you have autocharge turned on

Any such campaign, independent of the subject, should be illegal.

We have more than enough traffic in Bangkok, we really don't need a 100-vehicle Tuk Tuk campaign!

you think they got extra tuk-tuks just to run around showing ads?

what do you think is more plausible? just putting ads on existing tuk-tuks or procuring entirely new vehicles just to run the ads and clog up your street inconveniencing you

the manufacturer of the food/vitamin in question has it, will they provide it to you is another question

It is a ridiculous assertion that boarding passes can be faked. Maybe the one you print at home on A4 or letter size.
 

Normal one on thermal paper or on that airline card stock? Then how do the fakirs get on the plane when the barcode does not match an open seat

Tell that to the Airport Authority of Thailand for domestic flight who wouldn't accept boarding pass 'captured' as a picture on screen in phones less it could be faked but prefer printed passes

are the mass market brand actually adding sugar in plain cornflakes? or are they just in the grains naturally 

if you chew them plain any carbohydrates of course it's gonna turn sweet in your mouth due to saliva breaking them down 

The Givi distributor in Thailand got most of their boxes from the Malaysian factories, usually the smaller models, those will be cheaper than Europe.

The bigger European models like the V58 I've seen in Thai shops at around 30-35,000 which seem in line with prices on Lazada and Shopee, these importers/distributor ship them in on container so their cost is likely lower than yours, they probably have lots of markup due to being a big ticket item that wouldn't sell as often, but are you willing to gamble you can bring it in by having shops in Europe send it and pray you won't get taxed to hell? 

Remember, the tax+Vat is calculated after the cost of the freight/courier service, so if they ship it to you using expensive company that'll be reflected in the final price

For accurate price there's importer like https://thai.webike.net/ that knows how much customs take and will have price that reflect that and their cut, they don't have the exact model but you can compare with other parts or models to the European based shop and see how much you could be expected to pay

Why is this under 'Bangkok News' forum

The 'Thai' restaurant that call themselves 'Thai Restaurant' or have Thai in their name that serve the typical Thai Food would probably be targeting the tourist

Most Thai restaurant goer don't care for the word "Thai" in a restaurant, they'll be looking for cuisine specific like north-eastern, seafood or big garden venue with live music 

it's called a 'bonded' credit card, you open an account with the amount and the bank will blocked off the amount, only paying back interest.  you have to make payment on the credit you use and interest if you don't pay back in full - essentially borrowing against your own money 

good question is that can you use this deposit to show immigration to satisfy your retirement/marriage extension say if you put the required 4/800,000 in an account and have bonded credit card for that account, you can then spend the amount that otherwise be sitting untouched
