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

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

the condition of acidic soil is ดิน เปรี้ยว 'Din Preaw' literally sour(ed) soil ปูนขาว 'white motar' is also used but can be imprecise as it could mean anything from lime to calcium oxide or calcium carbonate

นาย นาง is not more honorific than คุณ while nai appears on official document, if used when addressing the person it is considered condescending. It's only used when a teacher or your mom calls you by your full name, or an official calls you out from a queue at the Amphur or addressed on the envelope when your bill is overdue คุณ is only afforded when you consider someone you're speaking to to be of honor, whereas นาย or นาง(สาว) could be any farmer or laborer

It is now also available after you have the inspection done, to pay for the tax renewal online now, previously you either had to go in person to the DLT or let the inspection place handle everything for a fee. it still cost 30-40 baht extra for the DLT to mail the new tax disc to you, so maybe if your inspection place only charges 100 baht to renew it's not worth doing it yourself

A few months back, protesters were co-opting the national anthem and they've stopped playing on the skytrain stations

Tax going up soon, so people that know start hoarding at the current price, hence the shortage

double vax or recent test is going to be required for domestic air travel now

Years back there used to be Honda Sh150i imported from Vietnam and some Piaggio that has big 16" front wheel, rides better than any PCX sized 150s, the sizing suits european bodies better too If you're not too hung up on automatic 'scooters' clutchless manual underbone bikes like the Honda wave and SuperCubs with 17" wheels really rides better on poor roads

True 5g in middle of Asoke, Huawei CPE (Mobile Router) 5g is 280-300Mbps if it drops to 4g it's around 200 while my phone only gets around 100

It is not the police's job to determine guilt, if the Swiss man was found to be using reasonable force, the charge would be dropped or him found not guilty, imagine if you had wanted to kill someone, stage a robbery in your own home, drop a gun as evidence and the police come in and announce that it's all good, you can get away with murder.

The shops that buys gold don't need to see any import certificate, it is melted down fast enough with the rest of the jewelry they buy in everyday that it's not a problem, at most they will ask for some ID, it won't even trigger an investigation unlike deposit into bank account Half a kilo in bullions might be a bit much, but the odd troy oz minted coins thrown in your purse with the rest of your coins aren't gonna raise any suspicion most luggage is x-rayed coming in now, so the customs might notice if you have multiple bars stashed in your luggage, but a single half kg bars carried on your person like a phone is feasible

One area of condo law that is in need of updating is the dissolution of condo, I think right now if a new developer were to come in and use the land for something else, they'd first have to convince every owner to sell up to get unanimous vote from all the co-owner, a better ratio of majority present for 2-3 times should do the trick, but then there's real danger of developer just gobbling up rooms to get majority
