actual report before it went through layers of chinese whispers was that the plane was due to refuel at Utapao anyway, and there was no emergency, only that the pilot reported the front gear was reluctant to turn at the end of the runway, hence the plane was sitting on the runway for a while and tow vehicle was requested but the issue was corrected, no emergency was ever declared

Would you rather have her by hysterical? there are various ways your card numbers could have been compromised, skimmed from the many physical shops you used, or being copied by shop staff and sold, or if you've ever used it online, compromised at the site disputing charge with credit card is normal procedure and no need to get worked up over it, unless the bank refuses to reimburse you

the ones who are here aren't as nasty as the ones that made it to the 'west' got a business, thai restaurant maybe, halfie kids that can't really speak Thai, the good ones exist but the bad ones over there are worse

Look at all the HiSo's current models that has equivalent EV 'trim' from China with 0% tariff, BMW iX3s, Volvos XC40, the importers seem to keep the margin to themselves either to protect the ICE market. Same with locally assembled BMWs and Mercedes, price never come down

so are you going to refuse what they ask and make your life difficult? Asking why or if what they demand has legal basis isn't going to help your situation

If they're working, they'll be on social security where they can select their own hospitals, most that'll accept new registration for social security in Bangkok are private, which will either have a 'social security/30 baht scheme' wing with longer wait for service For pregnancy, if you're registered at a government hospital, there's also a way to secure extra 'special' service of a doctor, where you pay the doctor and you either see him at his private clinic, but delivered at the government hospital where he has privilege, you'll get preferential treatment and the same doctor at every visit at the government hospital, whereas if you didn't pay for 'special' you get whatever doctor is on duty that day, plus you can arrange private rooms and cesarian in advance Some view the special clinic as a bribe to the doctor as the hospital aren't billed for this

As a farang, you'd rarely come into contact with the wrong side of right wing thai policies? most of the things moaned about here are: - no alcohol days? - restrictive immigration policy, yet you're here in droves what makes you put up with the 90day run around - couldn't afford to live elsewhere? - not being able to own land for those that can afford to come here they'd have enough money that these minor inconvenience shouldn't be a problem

Words from the sales girls are that the banks are more restrictive to give out loans now, could also explain the shortfall in registration numbers vs bookings numbers claimed at the motorshow

Only Canada and US, Most of the countries got rid of 'Jus Soli' right to citizenship from just being born on the land in the 70s and 80s most of Europe and Australia requires residency from one of the parents, or that the child born stay in the country until certain age to be allowed citizenship Thailand put similar restrictions on due to the amount of Myanmar 'anchor babies' but to be fair a lot of migrant workers from Myanmar has made a life of their own here, family, but their jobs would never pay enough for them to be on permanent residency or citizenship

Nirun Grand in Pattaya? Plenty of other working class condos / apartments in Bangkok too

For the universal 30 baht scheme It's not gonna be easy to change your 'primary care' hospital according to tabien ban (blue book) would mean needing to find a destination near the ideal hospital to move to, and a willing housemaster ie. landlord that will let you 'move in' to the tabien ban, which ideally they have to but in practice not always or find a friend that's willing to have you be on their housebook Another complication is that the big provincial hospitals won't even let you use the 30 baht rights unless you got a referral from the Amphur hospitals or the 'Health Center' which will be the closest to your registered address first

I've seem to read somewhere that it's new TIS standard, mandatory on newer tubes now, but in actual use they're hard to pull once installed, so just pull them up before inserting and we're back to square one the twist type tube holder are safer than the spring loaded one in this regard but aren't there types where one side is L and other side is N, and other case where both L and N are on one side and the switch bridges the other side for use in the other case, I've seem to burned out a light due to being the wrong type

IP ratings are usually done with distilled water too - real condition water with sand and dirt in them could blast through seals and whatnot

medical benefits for the family (parents, child and spouse) which is way better than social security in private jobs or the 'free' universal healthcare seems like a good deal in exchange for peanuts pay, Government pensions are also a lot better than private company scheme

The express trains uses the same seat as British Rail class 360 used in the east midlands

flying over Thailand, these 'community' stations are a source of nuisance as their poorly maintained transmitter are encroaching on aviation radios, most of these channels are advertisements for various 'snake oils' magic juice and diet pills concerning the audience on this forum, some english language stations like a few in Pattaya are operating under these 'community' scheme which technically they're not allowed to commercialize

If they finished their medical training at government university, they're on the hook to repay their subsidized education for at least 3 years, if they quit before then they might need to pay up to half a million baht to get out of the obligation in order to go to private hospitals. hours the hospital put these new doctors through will mean they have little chance to have 2nd shift at a clinic or private hospitals

try buying lots of gold in one lot and see how the shops have to report you

It's only final until a newer will is made which invalidates the previous will, hence the need for witness to confirm the date and that you are of sound mind

about last year multiple reports on thai social media that see drinks being dispensed with parts of the blender blades in the cups, must have failed and broken off about the same time it must have been 1 or 2 years since they opened Apart from that the regular cleaning cycles and the maintenance/cleaning done when they restock the supplies and water must be up to the job as i've never heard people got sick from it

More than half of those on your list aren't even western to begin with? Orang Juice is culture specific? Century Egg is western?
