if your version of tart is just slightly sour, อม เปรี้ยว om priew is 'hidden note of sour'

even if condos committee decided not to allow home isolation, they kind already do, even during the last wave, people were waiting up to weeks to get hospitalized, at my condos, we had to implement a protocol to accept garbage from infected rooms, having security deliver food up to their door. if a condo decided they won't have any infected person on building ever they'd have to throw residents out on the street while they wait to be picked up into hospitals

Both BMW and Benzes are just equally unreliable, looking at how much Lexus charges extra over both European brands here, I'd say reliability has its price

Blue Book and major accident registrations
digbeth replied to Throwaway134's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
only things like color change, engine change with different serial no. or type of fuel like addition of LPG/CNG system is recorded you can see the chain of custody in owner change, if it changed from an owner to the insurance company, that might be a telltale sign of a total loss write-off, but the next owner could declare the blue book loss and get a clean one only showing the most recent owner -
legal tender just means that it can must be accepted as payment for debt, as for service or products not yet rendered or consumed, they have every rights to refuse your cash if you had ordered something in a restaurant and eaten it all up, and only learned after the fact that they won't accept cash, that is now their problem as you had valid legal tender

Thai Notary for US form DS-3053
digbeth replied to djeetyet's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
there's no such thing as government appointed notary public in Thailand most you'll get is some lawyers who certified themselves as notary public by taking a course or seminar so look for a local lawyer -
Looking at cost of networking equipment right now, at the price they're going even if I run a small hotel with 20-80 guests, or small business with a handful of employee it's hard to justify the cost of equipment from new network card in every machine or new m/b, access point/ router to take advantage of the extra speed, it's hard to justify the speed increase right now... and for the lone user? I suppose it's fine if you're not paying anything extra to get it

even if you don't mind the slow charging, taking a rest break, eating while charging, the current charging network is not enough on busy Thai holiday long weekends where even petrol pumps and service areas are jam packed, if there's even a few EVs ahead of you in a queue, each doing 20min-half hour at least (likely more) that's too long of a queue for the fast charger.

The dealer are all around 22nd July roundabout, near Chinatown in Bangkok, the price is cheapest there and cost more the further you move away from the area+ delivery
-
The local bookshop like NaiIn and the likes might be dead and even Newspaper and Magazine racks are sitting empty, but the annual book fair at big convention halls see plenty of Thais hauling off books for their enjoyment, these Thais are probably the minority, and the activities of middle class and up, with decent Thai books costing 2-300 baht, it's definitely not for the working class but taking books on commute to read in the train/bus or even to enjoy in cafes or lunch break are definitely strange to Thais

The cost of the tool to splice together broken cable will be too prohibitive, like 50-100,000 baht machine, if it's indoor cable (typically yellow) between the box on the wall and the router, maybe you can get the patch cord to replace it

Bangkok Bank no New Accounts
digbeth replied to tuktuktuk's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
The staff in backwater branch probably had seen the memo about ticking the box on the forms about US persons, if there are additional forms to fill out that she don't know how to get and having never handled a Farang customer, decided that saying no would save her a load of trouble -
you're not obliged to stand for that,

What shop is even in there anymore, even the venerable A&W that has been there since the 90s has moved out edit - didn't see this was CM, not Bangkok, please delete

Did anyone snag one of the runout Captivas?
digbeth replied to giddyup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The previous generations were Daewoo, this 'last run' that was launched as GM pulled out of Thailand was Chinese based -
That's the typical entrance, there's parking for joggers but I've heard the department's closed to outsiders since COVID, not sure if it has reopened yet, if not you can drive around and on the other side of the reservoir which is a public road there's area with street vendors where you can park and enjoy the scenery, it's not on the reservoir's edge but it's just as nice

there are companies that don't offer these 'cash payout' bet against covid type insurance, so there are actuaries that did their job and/or executives that listened to them. until before Delta hit, these companies are making easy money on these insurance where they promise to pay a lump sum upon diagnosis of covid and that's it, nothing to do with actual care received.

only song that cause Thais to immobilize in their track is the national anthem and royal anthem, national anthem is only played at 8am and 6pm and never in malls, Royal anthem is played on the arrival and departure of royals on formal occasion, unless somebody is cutting ribbons to open a shop in big c, which you'd be told by police to stop where you are, maybe there's a mix up in the playlist?

For the price around 300K you can get decent eco-car which at least survivable in a crash whereas the wuling would be quite deadly, The Fomm's hand throttle is a deal breaker
-
Look closely next time you fill up with 'Premium' to see the B7 either on the pump handle or sign on the price

Waiting time 3 Month to get driving license???
digbeth replied to Eaglekott's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
if he has passed the test and was given a certificate, he can book his own appointment to get photographed and card made at any land transport office, they will show available dates -
Legal minimum is 13 days paid holidays, this is usually the traditional days like New Years, Buddhist days and Royal Birthdays, they can be 'observed' on other days if you are already having a day off on that day or be paid overtimes if you are working on the days, the employer should have a notice out saying which days count as the company's official holidays, most decent employer will observe more than the 13 mimimum employee that's been working for 1 year are also entitled to minimum 6 days of paid leave, typically more leave are given for longer tenure so the minimum paid leave for Thailand is 13+6 days
