Saw some tourists' instagram and the weekend air-conditioned Pattaya trains were packed with some standing all the way

A lot of expensive housing development on Bangna is banking on that line coming, if they peg that to the airport, it'd only be atter the airport south terminal gets built which could be decades away

I believe the free tolls days are a way for them to get out of paying the toll workers overtime on the holidays, the big ones like songkran and new years see Bangkok deserted anyway so people use the tolls less, might be cheaper to let the staff take the holiday rather than pay them to come in and man the booths

The Thais are already going through the tax filings on the business, looks like it's claiming loss for multiple year yet he manages to rent million baht a month villa?

If he's only renting the real owner's in a bad place now, the Thais are calling for scrutiny on the location of the steps being so close to the waterline means it must be encroaching on public land

the problem? OP fits the pattern of visa runners We can argue that the criteria for denial should be made clear, but the immigration officers has exercised their discretion and allowed him in

prestige and keeping up with the Somchais, When Teslas Bangkok delivers new vehicle with normal white plates, some idiots would go and buy fake red plates to put them on, in case the neighbor might not notice that they bought a new car, or worse that they bought a second hand one

Maybe it was not a rip-off price for a four hour booking, but looks like he only enquire about a short ride to a destination which the driver responds that they only offer the 4 hour option as a minimum...

police report no longer required, you can turn up to DLT to get new one made, but if the plate was from Bangkok, it has to be at Bangkok DLT, can't transfer to Chonburi before it is in order, so you can't just go to Pattaya DLT to get replacement or to 'move' to Chonburi

'legitimate tourists' according to the Thais should be fine with existing Visa-Exempt entry, those that needed the tourist visa can probably fork out the visa fee probably can't afford to Holiday in Thailand that long Tourist Visa for Thais going to New Zealand has been 5,000+ Baht for sometime now

keyword is you want to be enrolled under "section 39" provision for voluntary payment

They only mention the VISA section, this applies mostly to Thai nationals, if you don't need VISA to visit the UK. this doesn't concern you at the moment, If you find this hard to understand, you'll struggle to navigate through life

class 2 covers the other party in vehicle to vehicle accidents only, plus fire and theft but only repairs the other party vehicle, your own you pay out of pocket for any repairs class2+ covers your own vehicle too, still for vehicle to vehicle (define as anything with licence plate) ie. if you hit a pole, or a bicycle, you're not covered also the insured value might be limited, say a 1million baht car the first class might covers up to 950,000 where 2+ might covers to 3-400,000 baht only, you can negotiate more with higher premiums of course

Honda has already started their production in Thailand on the e:NS1 or whatever they're gonna call the ev version of the HR-V, last year they had to scrub the launch due to the price of the Seal being unexpectedly low While it's a different shaped car segment altogether, compact SUV/Crossover Vs Execytuve Sedan, Thai people like to compare between segments and see what they can buy, and the Seal is a better EV than the bolted on battery nature of the EV HR-V Now with the Atto 3 being reduced, there's nowhere for Honda to go pricewise, with their ICE model as it is, they can't make the EV the same price as the top end petrol hybrid either,

Look at the BYD's Atto 3 'Discount' it's not the same car, different spec batteries and all, so they could claim it's not the exact model you bought that was discounted, but rather new model

It's a 'Speed' boat afterall

And Korea would have a nice chunk of that middle class tourist market, even moreso with thai teens' K-Pop craze Not that there aren't Thai working illegally in Japan Maybe there's less of a market for illegal Thai workers in Japan than South Korea, Why does the problem in Korea became so rampant that airport immigration are now jeopardizing genuine tourist? Some would say the South Korean economy needed the illegal workers

Thais also can travel visa-free to Japan, why is it less of a problem there? Japan is still activel welcoming Thai tourist

Liked it when it was Homeworks, has some higher end stuff that Homepro didn't have, but then Homepro has improved, especially in their own store on Sukhumvit to North Pattaya, the one in Big C not so much. Since then Central Group has taken over Thai Wassadu and that's their main home improvement store brand now, the stores is aimed for contractors more, looks like Central has ceded the market for middle class DIY home improvement to Homepro, the rebranded Baan&Beyond never gained traction, when it was Homeworks there was 8-10 stores in Bangkok, there was only a couple of stores nationwide for Baan&Beyond and looks like it's gone from Pattaya now one thing I never liked about them is that for electronics items, there was never consistent pricing, in their 'PowerBuy department, between the store on the dark side of Sukhumvit, one on Klang and in Central Beach Rd. and what used to be in Homeworks/Baan&Beyond you would find the same items have different prices

Sinthorn Tower, grab a coffee in one of the shops to validate parking otherwise it's 100baht an hour last I checked

During the rice pledging fiasco years back, political opponent of the scheme were angry with the Government Savings Bank for giving loan to the scheme and start to withdraw money in droves, causing a mini-bank run that they had to pause service. If the economy is at the point that the big banks needed the deposit protection scheme, I don't think the government savings bank with their 100% deposit protection can do any better, the government will have been defaulting on lots of things by then

if there's cash prizes, I can see the organizer won't bother with how to do a withholding tax for foreigner and potentially non-residents, for the big marathon maybe they can afford it, but for local provincial or amphur level events, forget it, but the participation medals/bibs shouldn't be any different

the tv aerial should be grounded right? what issue could arise from tapping ground from the co-axial cable that's likely unused these days, but in condo building these would have been ran through splitters and amplifier to your room, would the ground still be good

I've seen case where organizer would claim that insurance for foreigner is more expensive, or opt out of having insurance for foreigners at all, but I've never seen where foreigner can't win the prize even if they exclude all foreigners from certain prize, you can hardly claim it's racial discrimination as african athletes are equally excluded as european ones

If the developer hold the deed to the road and hasn't registered the easement, if he has a plot next to the road, he could well within his right start building on the road, or registered easement is for only 1 meter wide pedestrian access road only, there might be 16 meters wide road when you were sold the plot, but years down the line subsequent owner could acquire the road and start building on it
