I'm merely pointing out they are not answering the question - if they want to ramble off topic, I guess that is up to them - but they still aren't answering the question - I"m not telling them what to do, I'm pointing out what they've done.

I don't think you understand the question.

...and as an automotive engineer apparently totally unqualified to comment on this topic. Are you even an automotive "engineer"?

Not the question, was it?

it seems a bit too difficult for some to get their heads round........ Imagine if II go into a K-bank in Kanchanaburi at midday and another person goes into a K-Bank in Suratthani at midday, on the same day will the rates of exchange advertised be the same?

not the question thoughisit?

Duh! that's why I'm asking if the rate is the same nationwide - the only way is to note the rate and call a friend in another part of the country.

The NHS is facing a crisis like never before. Since Brexit between 20 and 30 thousand EU workers have left the NHS and recruitment rates have plunged as foreign workers can't get visas. This is exacerbated further as care-workers and associated workers have also left in similar numbers. The result is that ambulance waiting times at A7E have gone from 15 minutes to ver an hour - patients are left waiting in corridors for up to 24 hours. With 999 calls instead of an 8 minute arrival response callers are actually being put on hold like they were ruining a bank or IT supplier!. the UK is quite literally th sick man of Europe. - again!

your posts are a joke! - What on earth have your comments got to do with this accident? - I do know the road and have much more relevant experience than you but I use reason and evidence for my comments not some weird belief that being an "automotive engineer " helps in anyway - your observations are pure prejudice and nonsense.

You know this bend?

If a particular bank shows. rate of exchange on their web site - will that rate apply to branches simultaneously around the country? If not how do they justify offering a different rate from their advertised rate?

THis is why there needs to be a proper crash report every time - to stop ridiculous prejudiced assumptions that serve no purpose but to delay progress in road safety.... Ultimately it is that attitude that is killing people on Thai roads

there are 4 classes of Goods vehicles . 3 and 4 are full size HGVs. Drivers who want P1-P4 licences must meet the minimum age requirements as well as pass an approved course at the local transport office or approved driving school

Just blaming the driver is ignoring the elephant in the room. Thai roads are so badly designed and maintained they exacerbate any accident into tragediy This is an accident black spot - it doesn't happen because drivers suddenly go crazy there, it is down to the road design.

QED! Again

QED! - I think your posts show that you really do need to educate yourself - but that's not my job, it's yours. I bet you equate a medical check up to a roadworthy certificate, don't you?

and so the choice is yours heart attack or skin cancer?

How do you see that s superficial?

Are you aware of te Big Mac Index? https://www.economist.com/big-mac-index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

Somebody mentioned Greece earlier.... as a reason for Brexit. Well they have kept dien energy and food prices, controlled their debt problem and are getting a 1.8% growth in the economy. UK, thanks to a series of Brexit PMs, are now in recession with massive rises in the basics ... staple foods and energy. They are almost on the verge of a general strike. By being outside the EU, the UK is in too weak a position to protect against these things.

You're showing all the signs of a disaster waiting to happen.

I qualified for Thai national health for a few years. It's not enough. If you think you can avoid the need fir healthcare, you probably already need healthcare Exit plan return medical flight can be 20 to 40000. Then when repatriated, you need to qualify for healthcare in your home country. If you survive that you may then need somewhere to live in your home country. Property if course is much more expensive than in Thailand so is rent and care assistants.......

I think you are the one who needs to worry about what is or isn't humorous.

If you are over 65, the first thing you need is healthcare - whatever you think you are going to do. THis can be VERY costly especially as you get older. The terrible thing is that Thai hospitals will only treat you for what you can afford - you could end up just wasting away in a bed until they ca dispose of you legally.

You really don't need an agent. If you have a UK d/l or similar, you can avoid parts of the riving test - but if you haven't got one anymore, I'm not sure what they will say. If you are in the country on a non-imm visa the rule is you need a Thai driving licence - this doesn't seem to be particularly enforced but if you get in a serous incident it could invalidate your insurance etc.. You IDP if you had one is invalid if your home licence is.. You can renew your UK licence on line. you need proof of address from immigration. If you have a work permit, the address on that should be good enough. you'll need a licence for each class of vehicle - e.g. Motorbike and car.
