    This is akin to walking into Tukcom Pattaya buying a cheap phone or cheap accessories and expect any kind of warranty whatsoever.

     

    As soon as you've parted with your money, the very minute you walk away from the booth, you now are of ZERO interest whatsoever to the Thais in general.

    Except by Thai consumer law you are allowed to return something within 7 days -and funny cos I have never had any real issues with receiving refunds on faulty goods here

    I agree in principal - particularly about the number of PP copies I have lodged at Immigration.  However I think the OP is concerned about police ramifications.  I am driving around  with a DL showing my old address and old PP number.  A hungry cop may ask expensive questions. I am anxious to rectify this but Pattaya DLC is a nightmare at the best of times.

    I don't think there is a law saying they should be the same. I had an accident this year and had to get a police report, deal with insurance etc. All of it was done with my old PP number on my licence, and no issues.

  3. It's good if you can afford it or have good insurance, if not then you are pretty much screwed.

     

    I spent the night in a provincial hospital before being transferred to a a private Bangkok one. At the provincial hospital, i was told I would have to wait a week for the operation to happen, and would be stuck in a open communal ward with only 2 nurses for the whole, very big ward.  I was lucky I had insurance to get transferred.

    Try being in Thailand and get yourself a B visa.  These are obtainable out of country only.  

    I changed from a Non-ED to get a work permit. Immigration changed the extension to say I was being employed, and then we got the work permit on that.

    I know others who have done this because of covid and not being able to leave the country. All had job offers and the proper documentation. 

    Also, if you are on a tourist visa, that can be changed in country.

    Indeed. Tired of the "anti-vax" label. People who are a bit dubious of a vaccine technology that failed to garner FDA approval for 15 years, but it suddenly "safe", are simply being prudent. I have had many "traditional" vaccines in my life, but this new technology is something for which I have a "wait and see" approach. Maybe those blindly lining up for the vaccines should be labeled "anti-critical-thinkers".

    What new technology are you talking about? And this is problem with this kind of debate, one side you have people who know what they are talking about, the other you have either the misinformed, the stupid or the griffters.

     

    Like the anti-vax movement, started by a 'doctor' who it turns out was flogging his own remedy to replace the MMR vaccines.... funny that

    If you are vegetarian or vegan, stick to the literally thousands of very tasty vegetable and fruit options. Why would a person who eschews (even abhors) cooked meat want to eat anything that actually resembles the texture, taste and even shape of a meat dish? I just don't get it.

    It ain't rocket science is it, some people like the taste and texture but don't want to kill animals for that. Really isn't hard to figure out

    Lot's of cars passing the accident site and not 1 car stops to see if somebody needs help.
    TIT

    How do you know nobody stopped? That accident was behind so someone could have already stopped, and the dashcam car  literally just came to a halt. I am sure someone stopped they always do (TIT),.  have had accidents here and had people come to help really quickly. Also, if all the cars stop, how is that going to help?
