British citizen Andrew Hopkins was completely drunk, and there is a video showing him willingly breaking a parking barrier arm. There are so many sob stories about people saying, 'Oh, I came to Thailand for a vacation, didn’t do anything, and now I’m sitting in jail.' But when you look at the story, you realize that in most cases, they get off the hook with a small fine, compensation, or a charitable contribution. For example, the Kiwi brothers, in the US, likely, their parents would receive them back as cold storage.

The phrase 'Handsome man' literally comes from the Thai phrase "ผู้ชายหล่อ" (phoochai-lo, ผู้ชาย phoo-chai = man, หล่อ lor = handsome, good-looking). It is commonly used in the Thai language to describe a good-looking or handsome man. Currently, this is casual slang, so Thais will use "ผู้ชายหล่อ" casually when referring to any good-looking guy, be it a friend, acquaintance, or stranger on the street. This usage is also influenced by pop culture and celebrity trends, as Thai media is filled with good-looking actors, singers, and models. Describing male celebrities as "ผู้ชายหล่อ" is very prevalent in entertainment news and gossip. So when you hear 'handsome man,' it's a mirror translation from Thai. However, I would take this compliment with a grain of salt, as our handsomeness is often considered in proportion to the thickness of our wallet.

Used to go Tony Roma's for ribs on Sukhumvit back in the mid 90s, best ribs in BKK at that time. I think they closed their locations around 2019 or 2020. Things come and go here, I remember when Crispy Cream was that big thing and later binsoo, now it's Nose? tea and mala what's next, who knows?

I had MadCow Burger several times, excellent burgers with very nice french fries way better than the ones offered by big chains.

Notify Residence (immigration.go.th) Go down to: Steps for searching and verifing notification of foreigner accommodation (sic!) Maybe it helps.

According most electrical codes circuit breakers are primarily installed to protect the wire. It functions by interrupting the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or a short circuit, preventing the wire from overheating and potentially causing a fire. However, by protecting the wire, it indirectly also helps to safeguard the connected appliances and devices from damage or malfunction. For the wire: For a copper wire with thermoplastic insulation (e.g. PVC) of 2.5 sq.mm, the ampacity rating is typically around 20-24 amps. As a general rule, the circuit breaker rating should not exceed 80% of the wire ampacity to prevent overloading the wire. 80% of 20-24 amps is 16-19.2 amps. Therefore, the closest standard circuit breaker size for a 2.5 sq.mm wire on a 220V circuit would be 15 amps. For a copper wire with thermoplastic insulation (e.g. PVC) of 4 sq.mm, the ampacity rating is typically around 32 amps. As a general rule, the circuit breaker rating should not exceed 80% of the wire ampacity to prevent overloading the wire. 80% of 32 amps is 25.6 amps. Therefore, the closest standard circuit breaker size for a 4 sq.mm wire on a 220V circuit would be 25 amps. For the AC: According to EU standards a 12000BTU inverter AC needs a C10 circuit breaker and 18000BTU inverter a C16 circuit breaker. In conclusion if you have proper wire and run two of the above ACs on a 30A circuit breaker there should be no problem. Lastly: Fruit Trader is correct cooling capacity and drawn power are not the same, many of the calculations are incorrect.

Funny how IT terms turned into marketing terms and lost their true meaning, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, and blockchain: these are just a few of the latest buzzwords that are being thrown around by marketers like confetti at a wedding. But do they know what actually mean? And more importantly, do you really need whatever it is that they're selling you? Furthermore, a blockchain wallet is a digital wallet that allows users to store and manage their Bitcoin, Ether, and other cryptocurrencies. If a digital wallet is simply a holder of money for payment, blockchain doesn't make it much better that's countless digital wallets don't use BC technologies at all.

My wife renewed her passport by mail here at US EMB BKK and took around 3 weeks to process.

Congrats, same reasoning for me. The discussion by some preceding posters makes me think about a situation where I have enough money to buy a nice Benz, but some people with less money telling me that getting a Honda Jazz would be just as good, as it would get me to the same places. It should be mentioned that if you have a retirement visa, you might need Thai insurance too. And if you choose to keep the insurance for 20 years, it could cost around 1 million.

It's advisable to carry both passports for awhile with you, in some cases airport agents may go extremes checking entry requirements, for example a family member of mine with a 6 month old US passport had difficulties to check in for a flight to Europe from Bangkok, because the agent wanted to see the old passport that she didn't stay over 180 days in Europe last calendar year.

Nono. The term “work” in Thai law is defined very broadly, covering both physical and mental activities, whether or not for wages or other form of compensation and encompass a variety of activities, such as driving a car, being a laborer or cutting hair or applying makeup. The interpretation of whether a particular activity qualifies as a "job or work" ultimately rests with the authorities. Cutting your own hair, preparing your own tax, changing a light bulb, renting and driving a car all could be interpreted as stealing local jobs.

Developed countries? I've been in NYC for more then 20 years, and let me tell you, I almost never buy anything from street food vendors. One time, I saw this hot dog guy taking a leak in a bottle, and then just sticking it in his food cart without washing his hands or anything. And another time, I saw a different vendor washing his dirty feet in the lower compartment where they keep the ice for the drinks. Plus, some of these guys hardly ever clean the hotplate where they cook the food, which is like right next to where they put it on the bun or whatever.

The poster is incorrect หนู - has several meanings and spelled and pronounced the same way, can mean 1.) a pronoun I, you, she and he. 2.) mouse 3.) rat.

Reciprocity? Any Thai can buy a football club, business or house or whatever in any European country, any Thai man or woman married to EU citizens can move to EU get permanent residency and citizenship, furthermore EU has laws that no country in EU can have double pricing for tourists and citizens. No TM6, TM30, 90-day-report, one year renewal etc. What about this?

While it sounds very funny, the real issue is that there is a method called "juice jacking" a cyberattack in which hackers use a charging port which doubles as a data connection. Essentially, hackers hijack your power supply (hence “juice” jacking) channel and use it to install malware on a victim’s device and/or steal data. This process can include installing tracking programs and mirroring their screen to see (and record) any passwords and PIN codes they enter while the device is charging.

I have to extend my 'permitted until' stamp as it reaches 1 year, (my visa is a longterm visa) as of now (early 2023) how many days before expiration one can go and extend? Last year because of Covid they implemented a three business day window, however before Covid it was one month.

Contrary to popular belief, the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. It's simply different. I had the good fortune to spend significant amounts of time living on four different continents, and I discovered that, if you have the necessary resources and are physically safe, you can live comfortably almost anywhere. When a place seems particularly miserable, you must carefully consider if you or the location is the problem.

A little nitpicking: the above events are not accidents but incidents. While accidents are always unintended, unexpected, or unplanned events with negative consequences, it is assumed that no one is at fault. The event was completely unforeseeable and unpreventable. In a similar context, an incident is always unwanted and unplanned and has negative consequences; however, it happens due to carelessness, bad judgment, and not following rules and regulations, and in fact, these incidents are foreseeable and preventable.

I guess the poster refers to Orwell's book titled '1984' which conveys the extreme level of control and power possible under truly totalitarian regimes. It explores how such a governmental system would impact society and the people who live in it.

Apparently the mismatch is in the serial number.

I believe it should read 'recriminalize' instead of 'decriminalize',

Outgoing email addresses can be very easily spoofed by using an open relay SMTP server.

Exactly my question too. PTAs (Parent Teacher Association) should introduce spanking for teachers who can't teach kids to get good grades.
