  1. I've been in Private Hospitals on SS in Bangkok where they would have wings for SS only, usually out the back where the queues are longer and doctors' time limited If you had walked in to the private or after hours clinic portion of the hospital it's very likely they won't accept SS and you have to pay out of pocket
  2. you can only change hospital on SS from mid December till the end of March of every year, I did it myself on the app this year and the confirmation is a couple of days
  3. systems not linked? easy pass and m pass are linked now so not considered separate system you can opt in to have the m-flow deduct the amount from your easy pass M flow is a convenient gate free lanes, you go through the lanes, you pay by their rule, no different than if some country bumpkin were to drive into easy pass lane with only cash the amount of signage leading up to the m-flow lane as well as coverage in the media regarding people being fined is quite extensive, arguably the name being closed to M-Pass can cause confusion if you call them and explain they can waive the first fine
  4. all system is moving towards M-Flow, equipment for M flow are being installed in the Bangkok expressways, Hwy 7 to Pattaya is next M Pass is practically defunct, you can't get a new one For the first year and a half when the M-Pass was started, you had to have both easy-pass and m pass as they can't talk to each other Donmueang Tollway used to be their own thing and cash only but now has accepted Easy/M pass as well as contactless at the booths If you're mad that there's so many separate systems of payment for the toll roads, wait till you use the metro trains and bus these days
  5. Many were complaining that the sign saying M-Flow registered vehicles only were excessive, since you have 7 days to pay before the fine applies....
  6. so the system does have a way of checking where you filed your latest TM-30 from, or they have someone looks through all the online submission, cause I don't see how they can handle all the spelling variations. the fact that a few hotel stays and new TM 30 submission could cause problem is contradictory to the edict that one submission once you moved in is enough
  7. they don't, those sims are sold as a package with a phone to dealers only, never from the official shops and shops just sold the phones separately, or that's what used to be how they came about, due to the amount of them I think the mobile network companies just make these sims and sell them to these dealer directly now
  8. If it comes to that, can your connections afford her a "dek inter" nepo baby jobs at multinationals in Thailand, those cushy jobs require minimal Thai skills otherwise the better option is with access to your home country's passport, get university education there and a job with multinationals whilst there, and work her way way towards Thailand where her Thai language will be an asset over other executives they send to Thailand
  9. กินตีน kin teen is to eat feet literally ยำ yum the spicy salad can also be used to connotate gettting bashed ยำใหญ่ใส่ตีน mixed salad with a serving of feet
  10. lowering the permanent residence income threshold would be a start, the 80,000 a month is impossible to meet for most neighboring countries worker who have family and kids here, if they are on a path to citizenship they are contributing to social security and tax to support the ageing thai population
  11. as for the bike choice, if it must be 4-cylinder 4 cylinder Honda 650 is pretty good value, considering what you got compared to the 750 twin 'replacement' although the reputation for the thai Honda 650 rider is a bit yobbish with availability of custom parts and farkled to match- somewhat mitigated if you buy the naked CB650 instead of the faired CBR650 the Kawasaki 250 and 400 4 cylinder probably considered a supersport the bigger 650 are all twin There's also the naked Z900 that's 4 cylinder
  12. I used to have good experience with Kawasaki, but looks like the Kawasaki Thailand company is stopping service from their headquarter, making customers go to dealers instead, you used to be able to go to the headquarter on Rama 9 rd, and get whatever parts from the parts department, then they moved their office to Petchburi Rd, still have showroom and service dept, but now they've closed the service department, I'd wait and see how committed they are to continuing business in Thailand before recommending Maybe the dealers aren't happy that corporate is taking their customers but in my experience, dealers own service tech aren't as good as corporate trained ones unless they're kept on a tight leash. Good techs open their own garages. Honda Big Wings are mostly run by dealers too, only the Raminthra one is Honda corporate, haven't bought anything from Honda recently but I have got better deals from other BigWing like Rama 3 than the corporate run one on Raminthra, you can buy from other dealer and go to the corporate one for service of course, but being where you bought your bike from helps in getting appointment and smooth things over with warranty claims somewhat
  13. with the submarine tender already delivered and submarine dock already built and deep channels dredged for sub operation at the base, they'd probably put in a requisition to buy the subs later, with the updated spec to chinese engine
  14. there's been a few crash due to bad weigh distribution, biggest one recently was 747 that took off from Kabul and crash due to bad weight distribution in 2013
  15. So how would they know if this has increased in decades since then without weighing passengers?
  16. if they can truly distribute the weight evenly, the aircraft won't be out of trim by too much and use less fuel, even if that's the case will they pass on the cost savings to passengers? doubt it. so instead of randomly assigned seats, passengers could be distributed according to weight, if you don't like that - pay more but that would require weighing before check in,
  17. halfway from Central Rd to Soi big 7-11 (Lengkee?) seem ideal, after that towards South Rd the side sois are too long to walk, which you will need to if you want to catch baht bus going other way on 2nd or 3rd road
  18. The battery looks very bolted on and hanging very low is a literal sticking point
  19. If you went and ask if they provide service to IoM they'd probably be confused and say no if they try to look it up on their system, just tell them it's to the UK
  20. they sure as hell don't have the coordinate of all known address on file
  21. in order to login to their system online you need the 13 digits number.... the employer will be given a printout of new employee they put into the system, so if they don't tell you that you won't know what your 13 digit ID is
  22. a lot of chatter that Honda is delaying the introduction of the E-NS1 (EV HRV) while many were seen testing on Thai roads, looking at Honda's ICE lineup from existing HRV hybrid to the CRV, not much room to slot in what is probably gonna be more expensive than the top-end HRV and still be competitive price wise with all the Chinese in the market
  23. WIth the National Anthem at 8am and 6 pm Lumpini Park even runners freeze in their track... which if they've been doing some heavy workout can't be good without proper cooldown. People on the road near school or government place that might have heard the anthem, less so Out in the province this would depends though, I wouldn't want to be be caught out being the only guy not standing
  24. you have to have worked for 12 months to continue payment under section 39 scheme and be mindful of the lag employer might have in staring enrolling you into the social security system
