When I see BATCP, I can’t help seeing batcrap.

In the linked article it says he ran a red light. Well, jump a red light and expect bad consequences. You reap what you sow.

It just goes to show that even collecting rubbish for a living can have a happy ending.

I see. I didn’t know that. Thanks for pointing it out ????

They expect to be rewarded for being dishonest? ???????????? Use the meter and the problem goes away overnight.

Not having lost millions by renting and with nothing to show for it sounds even better. It’s my choice not to move but I can if I want to, obviously.

Both. My condo cost me 2m baht 23 years ago. It's now worth over 4m. I pay 3,000 baht/month maintenance fee, totalling 828,000 in fees over the 23 years, so I'm still over 1 million in profit (collecting money, as you put it) and I have 80 sq. metres, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The owner (me) can't/won't kick me out, the rent (none) won't go up, I have total peace of mind, I can leave my wife a place to stay virtually free after I'm gone, and I have more money to spend on what I enjoy doing (the living part of it). How's your rent security working out for you?

Rent money is money lost forever.

I think it’s good to keep people aware. This maybe the first rainy season for many visitors/long stayers. I’ve had dengue, and it’s not to be taken lightly.

Normal. I’m surprised it was as few as 10.

Thanks for the information. I might well give it a try. Cheers

Thank you. Is the online one you're referring to in the form of the the DLT app?

Does anyone know if you can use the drive-through tax facility in years when the car needs inspection, i.e. when it's 6+ years old? Mine is coming up to it's first inspection this year and I'd rather use the drive-through than sit around waiting in the office. Thanks in advance.

I don’t think it matters what the Senators do, as they’ll get him on the shares. It happened before with the founder of MF. If it happens again then Pita, and the party, can only be described as incredibly naïve and very, very foolish.

Let the games begin.

That’s an average price of 3m baht each - to watch a football match? A fool and his money are soon parted.

Good point. To be honest, I don’t know. I’ll check with my bank.

I concur. I have a bank account in the UK and never get charged for any transaction (digital or physical) whatsoever. And I don’t get a monthly charge for notifications by SMS of transactions on my account, which Thai banks do.

They can’t even spell democracy.

Thanks for that insight. Very interesting. Can we assume then that these subsequent tests have now been witnessed by the Thai government, as deliveries are set to resume?

Good to see you back Trans.

My wife ordered one of these in March. Originally scheduled for delivery this week, Toyota have now said that it will be delivered in two weeks’ time, so it looks as though the problem may have been sorted.

‘Official’ results due around two months later.

Changes were made for the initial crash tests, so that the cars would pass. They reverted to standard materials/design following the test. Therefore all the cars currently on the road do not have the crash test materials/design fitted.

So, what’s all the fuss about? If, as he says, the vehicles already on the road are safe, then surely so are any subsequently manufactured vehicles, so no need to stop sales. However, if they are proven to be unsafe, hence the reason for stopping sales, then those currently on the road are also unsafe.
