  1. blue is over 11 seater 'bus' thus cheaper 'commercial/working' vehicles, do note, you can get in trouble if you remove seats from your van and were caught by some checkpoints, as it used to be a way of circumventing tax by registering certain vehicles with lots of seats to qualify for lower tax, then remove them later. Same for the Hilux, if you had a 4 door model, that is 'up to 7 seats' sedan class, but had you gone for the 2 door models, you'd have a green letter plate and also cheaper 'van/cargo' tax rate Or if you had canopy in the back of the Hilux and row of seats put in, it can then be registered for the blue plate too, it used to be that a canopy and seats were 'borrowed' to pass inspection and remove later
  2. I think rains to Arabs might be like Snow to Thais, novel and interesting for a few days, a deluge the whole week of your holiday can ruin the fun
  3. ask your phone operator for roaming usually bank's business account has token where you carried the device which gives you the code instead of sms
  4. Every season is 'High' season It's 'high' time for Thailand You know people come to Thailand for the thing Amsterdam is famous for... now Thailand's got the other thing that's popular in Amsterdam too
  5. Thanks to Anutin, any tourist can be 'high' in Thailand
  6. when they didn't ask you to show the money, they can still claim lack of evidence... what're you gonna do? take them to court? report them to their superiors?
  7. yes, sorry swapped the two, m pass works on easy pass gates, if you only sign up for m flow, you can't use the expressways easy pass m flow (the barrier less ones) are only in used on the hwy 9 at the moment, hwy 7 is probably next some expressway toll gates looks to have m flow installed but who knows when that'll be ready as it currently is m flow is not replacement for m-pass tag, you need easy pass too
  8. There is also no law about them having to let you in either, they could refuse entry for any reason,
  9. only problem is that m pass don't work on the higway 7 yet, plus all the Bangkok expressways only a few is set to have M-Pass installed
  10. if chrome can get through, it could be using google's own dns, check the dns settings on your pc or router
  11. hello hansum
  12. the way the thai report reads it sounds like he didn't hit the car with his bike but rather got out and slammed on the car with his hands? to many thais, you can drive dangerously and cut of any guy and cut him back, slam on the brakes but the moment the horn is sounded, that's the cue to open car doors and devolve into angry finger pointing and fisticuff
  13. shops with real optometrist are expensive, most of the big name brand glasses shop with branches on every street corner only have trained staff that can use the machines, not real optometrist
  14. from the video I saw, there were barriers on the correct side of the road, the lady choose to cross to the wrong side to cross the already down barrier
  15. another graduate from the prometheus school of running away from things
  16. Custom would want to see Thai FCC (NBTC) approval sticker or sign on the product, might not be there on the US model, you'll then be asked for import license for the device in question, while paying storage which your shipping agent will happily charge you, if the device does not operate on bands outside of the allowed range for Thailand, you might be issued a license and your device released to you, or if not it's confiscated and sold off in auctions as 'scraps' years later
  17. because necklace made of 99.99 purity gold would be easily snatched away from ones neck 24karat are sturdier but aren't preferred due to being associated with 'cheap'
  18. another western style solution, put a warning sign up near the balcony, warning: gravity can cause serious damage, do not put yourself over balcony rails etc.
  19. if you didn't take the green book to pay at the counter like at 7-11 or online, the green book won't be updated you can take the green book the any dlt to get 'updated ' like your bank passbook or you can try to pay online and see the last dates it was paid
  20. looks like it hadn't been touched since the last guy that wiped down those wires with some wet rag
  21. they forgot to mention royal funeral days while not a law but last time many business were asked to not sell alcohol out of respect
  22. even if he has assets to sell, getting power of attorney from unconscious guy is not possible getting the guy declared incompetent and appointing the OP as his guardian is too complicated and opens up the opportunity of the hospital going after OP for the remainder of the cost accrued
  23. Thailand has 6 levels compulsory heirs called 'legitimate heir' from order of priority 1 child and Spouse 2 parents 3 siblings 4 half siblings 5 grand parents 6 uncle, aunts, the next level don't get their share until the above level has their share, so your sibling don't get your estate unless you don't have a surviving parent or child/spouse even if you put the grandchild in the will, the other in the legitimate heirs list can contest the will in court, eg, if you put the grandchild as the only receiver, the other relatives could contest this in court
  24. Just got Pfizer from Bangkok City run hospital, Asked and they said Moderna has all expired, must be the same lot as those the private hospitals were offering for a fee looks like newer generation vaccines aren't even being discussed
