  1. you could've got a 'confirmed booking' on many of the sites that's not good for travelling on for around 2-300 baht
  2. if you are watering and fertilizing manually, do you reuse the excess water that drips out? compared to other hydroponic system that aerates or recirculate water, would you be wasting more fertilizer in this manual grow method?
  3. they already check noise level for a long time, definitely no loud pipes up there
  4. so far they did a better job of checking motorbike exhaust than the boys in brown, using tape measure to ensure correct distance between microphone and exhaust, revving only to the correct rpm and not just flooring it
  5. his last employment was an airport guard where he volunteered to go to the cave rescue, he's also a well known figure at the airport cycle track greeting visitors and is often seen out on patrol on his bike too. I think they might have a statue of a plaque dedicated to him there too, so he's seen as a 'local hero' for the airport staff is his death preventable had he not ventured where he doesn't have the skills for? that's a better discussion
  6. the Marlboro IQOS non-burning e-cigarette which heats the rolled tobacco leaf without burning are banned in Thailand and people have gotten arrested for selling them, now we've gotten to the point where e-cigarette and vapes are more illegal than cannabis
  7. An acquaintance's Thai wife has passed away in the states, and in order to get a Thai death certificate from the Thai consulate in the US he'd have to go through sending the death certificate legalized by the state department? The Thai family back here requires either the death certificate to have an official translation/certified in Thai and apparently the US embassy in Bangkok won't notarize the death certificate or translations unless it went though legalization by the state department back in the US either? Is this something he has to do in person with the state department or can he engage a service from a local US lawyer if he'd rather not bother with the legwork? is there anything to look for in a lawyer that they'd know to do it properly? The wife had some land in her name and in order to get the estate sorted and her name marked off the house register they'd need the death certificate accepted at the amphur first The family in Thailand try to go to a translation company/visa agent and they suggest he can sign over a power of attorney to the remaining family member in Thailand to start the ball rolling to, but he'd still have to get the death certificate legalized in the US either way right?
  8. If you have amount large enough, SCB has wealth management partnership with Julius Baer just down the road from Citi on Sukhumvit, they can structure your money overseas alright
  9. Are you hoping that an international bank subsidiary in Thailand would cover you more than the Thai governments maximum protection of 1 million baht? They might be less likely to default than Thai bank? maybe
  10. thai savings account is not as limited like US savings account and can receive cheque but before they decide to exit Thailand citibank savings account has minimum opening deposit of around 1 million, so they don't really intend to compete with all retail bank
  11. the only fruit that you're supposed to bruise it by smashing it against something before eating for a sweeter taste
  12. there's one truck between soi 11 and 13 almost every night, dude's even got rolling papers
  13. you also need a 'registration kit' which is paperwork from the factory plus receipt you need the vehicle present as they'll need to take an impression of the VIN/engine serial, but normally when the shop does the legwork for you, they can take the impression and paperwork to the office without needing to take the actual vehicle there
  14. after storage fee has bankrupt you, the bikes will probably get auctioned off
  15. This is Paypal overinterpreting the rules again, earlier this year it was everyone in Thailand can't receive money on Paypal unless they had a business registration, after much complaining, the shut everything down and now this, which many Thais who had to get lawyered to get their business registered is now moot, but then another problem surfaces
  16. unless it has delivery mileage that you can claim as a 'new' bike with supporting documents, you can't import it to Thailand
  17. no, they were not denied return to their country, they were denied travel on a document that might not be valid for travel or a lack of supporting evidence that their travel document is valid. If a UK person were to turn up trying to exit Thailand on an empty brand new passport without entry stamps or visas and having no records of them ever entering the Kingdom on immigration's system, I'm sure they'd be denied boarding too
  18. Have they ever traveled into Thailand on the UK passport? are you able to accompany your wife and children to the Thai passport office?
  19. even if you swipe or use the chip, some bank terminal and cards also don't require PIN or signature on small amount under 1,500 too
  20. In europe they go with longer intervals, 15,000km or 9000miles but in the US they are often 5000 miles which works out to to only around 8000km in this weather and traffic, plus dirtier fuel I'd say it's just about right
  21. these big mudflap seem to kick up stone from the ground more than normal too
  22. If you do the online check-in you won't have boarding pass printed from their machine, which, in some airports that only accept that, mean you can't just walk through the gate with only online check in accompanied by just boarding pass printed or on your phone
  23. some airport don't accept printed or boarding pass on your phone, they make you go to the counter to print a boarding pass again
