you have to get another car first

Even if you don't buy the jewelry gold, which attracts the 'workmanship' charge over the 'spot' price of gold that day, essentially the shop's commission this is usually 500-1000 baht per baht weight of gold, depending on the intricacy of design and the shop's prestige, hard to calculate into percentage as the commission is charged per weight and the spot price vary daily but this works out to around 2-3% at the current price there's still the 'block charge' if you buy bullions, this is a bit less than the % charged for the jewelry (instead of 500-1000 per baht it's now 500 or less) and can be waived or negotiated if you buy over 5-10baht weight of gold

They are not arbitrarily increased, but rather the officer can exercise discretion to decide which category your item falls under. A good shipping agent should know how to file these appeal to save money

Even if done by the LTO? I'm sure if you have the receipts

Washed out plate is a known defect, but the land transport office won't admit it and affected car owners has to pay out of pocket to have them replaced. for Bangkok this is 3กx prefix plates, other provinces issued plate in the same period around 2014, after years of never admitting fault on these batch of plates, they'd only back down and offer to only repaint the plate, owners that paid to replace their faded plate before this edict were sol Previous case years back there was a batch of plates that would yellow and crack, that time they managed to get warranty from the supplier and replace everybody affected for free within the time period.

That is in addition to the 13 'national holidays' any less and the business is breaking the law. some industry would rather pay overtimes (double) for them to come in on Holidays. In practice, the 6 days annual leave is bare minimum, longer tenured workers gets more annual leave, otherwise there won't be many takers for the job Factory workers are expected to have extended Songkran holidays and New Years and many has leave for rice harvest at the beginning of the dry season that works out to excess of the 13+6 national minimum

for the first letter ก they went from 1กx - 9กx it's now up to 1ขx (the second thai alphabet) this scheme stats around 2012, the new 1ข is only starting now for Bangkok car plate, so each number last around a decade so far also the 3กx is well known to fade to white a lot

The Lardprao one is run by official Honda, so servicing is standard, the others are dealers's franchise- i noticed they might be more keen in the sales department when selling new bikes, but service seems the same

small red ones (<500mw power) - no need for any paperwork big red ones - need licence to own - not hard to get - if you don't get it it's not a big deal red ones are free to use, means if you have a licence to own, you can hand it to friends or workers to use importing radio things always require an import licence, radio equipment will need to have Thai stamp with serial no., if your online seller ship the thing from China, even if it's a legal red radio you could be asked to turn up to custom with an import licence, people get caught out with things like mobile phone and wifi router even though the same model is already sold here

245mhz CB radios are okay for unlicenced use, lower powered ones (under 500mW) are also excempt from licence to own. more high powered ones will require a licence to own, which is trivial to make, the shop selling them can usually arrange them for you, will require ID and house registration, probably easier if you have a Thai person do it. Having the licence to own means you can hand it over to your workers, or anyone and they can use it with no problem, you can also buy it and not get the licence and no police would batter an eye at you, you can get it from a 2nd hand shop or whatever permanent installation with big antenna and mobile station in cars will also require separate permission. These radios made especially for Thai law will have their body in red plastic the emphasis is that it must be red bodied radios, there are other class of CB for marine and offshore explosive environment use colored yellow, just look for the red ones, they cost around 1000-3000 baht, low power ones (500mW) don't need any paper work at all, the big 1-5watt power requires licence to own/have, but it's not really enforced and you're not breaking the law by using them Things on Lazada and Shopee shipped in from China could be intended for other countries and might not be legal for Thailand

Even for brand new cars.... there's nothing of value from Australia worth importing now, maybe once they start converting those American muscle cars to RHD in Australia, and if they manage to get the operation there to not be considered American origin to get through the Thai-Australia FTA, there might be a market for 20-30 cars a year

Normally when they reverse a mistake like this, it'd appear the same way it originated or not at all, perhaps there's something with their app that's made it show up as purchases, I'd contact the bank in person to get a printed statement of the last days to see what it actually says on the system, or act as if you'd never known about the double payment and contact their frauds department saying you saw a withdrawal of that amount showing purchases which you's never made

BS1363's shutter should only be able to open with pressure from the ground prong isn't it? The Thai shuttered sockets in extension cord as per TIS2432-2555 requires even pressure from both holes to open

If you see universal sockets or EU/Shuiko or UK sockets for sale and you think you might need them later, snap them up fast as they are no longer allowed to be sold, the remaining stocks are legal to be sold for now but newer ones are not legal to sell as wall sockets as they are not 'Thai Standard' you can probably order them online shipped in from China, but you won't be able to get them from proper brands like Panasonic Haco and Clipsal in hardware stores anymore.... who knows if you have a new build and the electric company come to inspect your house for a new meter and see one fitted to the wall they would not connect you for being not up to code, probably not universal adapters, meanwhile are not covered by the Thai code and is legal to sell... go figures

For Thailand the legal minimum holidays for business is 13 days and many business observes only that

it comes down efficiency and waste, going under means you are wasting energy and makes it harder on the grid, for industrial 3-phase power, there's an extra 'fine' for going under, so big industrial user has incentive to correct their power factor, this is usually done with a big capacitor bank (think batteries)

For domestic 3-phase, the don't charge for going under the power factor

Thai local veggies are affected by flood, meanwhile pandemic situation in laos means shipment from China are being stuck at the border

EMV Contactless is already in use on Bangkok Bus, which is most surprising considering the aging bus and everything else

Did they hide it up their fanny? 200kg between the four of them should be easy, I've seen all sorts of demonstration in Patpong back in the days

Whatever his nationality status, he clearly enjoys a good relationship with the Chinese government, first speaker at overseas Chinese conference, seem cosy with Xi his company in China has registry is no. 1, as in the first day they start going capitalist, he's there to register his business

you have to produce evidence of the compulsory insurance when renewing the road tax, Ideally, your insurance will be renewed on the same date as your registration but that is not the case since when you first collect your vehicle, your might not get your registration until months later, but your insurance should be running since you drove off the dealership When you get voluntary insurance, like 'first class or third class' that cover damages to vehicles etc, often they will give a free compulsory insurance as well. You will then have two policy paper, one for the 1st class insurance and the other for the voluntary insurance, this policy paper look like a letter as in above posts the 'letter' or the policy document from the insurance company will look the same as your 'voluntary' ie:first class, 3rd class insurance if you have any, the difference is that the voluntary insurance will have tear off part at the bottom that you have to give to the DLT when renewing the tax, often the paper will have silver strip running down the whole length of the document too. For motorcycles, this could be just printed on a receipt looking paper

Frangipani is taboo to keep around the house as the name 'Lantom' means 'sad' and associated with funeral in many culture but is probably due to the fact that the tree is very sappy, it has since been renamed 'Leelawadee' and often seen planted in many beach resort, the flower also taste good deep fried in batter
