There is a confusion between Nakorn Panom and Nakorn Pathom. Nakorn Panom is dry to April 30. Nakorn Pathom is dry now but I can't find out for how long. Began 2 days ago, not beginning of the month.

But still not Nakhon Phanom , so far ?

maybe do a run to Makro tomorrow just in case 

But surely this could apply to almost anyone selling these items

We were buying 50 masks for 160 baht, what are they going for now ?

Everybody who can find them, has bought large stocks to sell at inflated prices, including Tesco and Makro 

While its not good for the public, it makes good business sense , high demand, increase prices, low demand, lower prices

I would first had a talk with your wife. Green books are popular to borrow money against. ????????????

1- she does not need the money 

2- she knows the bike will be signed over to her, just like the other bike and the car,so no worries about her

if needed, she could get a lot more on the cars book rather than the bike, plus we have 2 books, so easy to do 

But thanks anyway

How can you lose a green book. Mine goes in the safe and only comes out to retax the bike once a year.

Had to take it to DLT to get passport for bike. Not sure if i have dropped it somewhere, or mislaid it, but been through the house twice, still no luck

Do the police ever make you take out your tax paper from the round cylinder holder, so they can check it properly ?or do they just look at the year showing ?

Up country here, been stopped very rarely, and they have never asked for tax or insurance, just licence

yes  that roof  looks  so  sturdily  constructed.

That's what I though, 

Maybe they should try fitting more supports when repairing it, then maybe it wont blow off

1 baht a year.

If your DLT is not open then you may still be able to insure the bike online.

 

I thought you were winding me up with the 1 baht !!. Bikes insured  but still can't find the book or the copies, must have lost them when i applied for passport for bike before xmas 

Dont have much luck with vehicle books, have 2 for the same car and none for the bike, same as i had with my licences, 2 for the car, none for the bike !

Thanks again everyone, much appreciated

Its because they are sticking to the curfew, but foreigners dont seem to be doing it.

So they are saying if the authorities wont take care of it , they will. 

Which is right, the rules have been put there for a reason.

I can understand why they are a little <deleted> off.

 

and how will they carry out these threats to Farangs, unless they are out breaking the curfew too. But i:m sure they will apply this rigorously to Thais on bikes too - wont they ?

You have to go to the DLT, not the land office.

 

Go to the police first and report the green book as lost. Take the paper they give you and go to the DLT to request a new book. Bring passport and bike. Not sure if you need a certificate of residence or not, requirements vary a bit from office to office. Some also don't need the police report but better get one.

 

Recommended to have someone who can speak Thai with you to make things easier.

oops my bad, meant DLT. 

Thanks for the information, yes,will take the missus with me when i go, plus lots of papers too

I assume the DLT  is still working ?

I guess i have to wait for new book before i can tax it too?

Is there a fine for late taxing ?

Thanks Again

Yeah as always good to keep a copy of the green bike book which you should have anyway with other stuff on the bike, then the problem can be solved without panic. 

Thanks, I thought i had, but seems not

Have all others but somehow the green book and copies have disappeared

Thanks again

Now would be a good time to drain and clean the canals of all of the gunk and the junk that gets thrown in them.  That is what happens in Paris every few years and they find all kinds of things including safes (metal ones not the other kind), guns, bicycles, old bottles (usually empty but maybe returnable), among other things.

'nuf sed.

I mentioned this earlier. While everywhere is shut down, with so many out of work, why not get them out on the streets, the canals, the drains, etc and have a damm good clean and repair. Was in both Bangkok and Pattaya a few weeks ago, first time for a long time. Really showed how dirty and decrepid the places were with no people about

A covid19 carrier walks past you and sneezes in your face unexpectedly - would you have wanted an N95 facemask on ?

 

 

do these masks cover your eyes too? If someone sneezes in your face, only a face visor will protect you. If someone sneezes in my face, its a baseball bat i would want, or a shotgun !!

There is a translator on CGTN who clearly has had at some stage an English teacher from the Leeds district. Please be careful.

 

I sometimes hear my flat vowels from the wife and shudder.

Leeds ?? The center  of Gods own country . If you think Leeds sound bad, try Barnsley !

Shame on you - don't go there! You are trying to argue an absolute (ALL people not coughing and sneezing are incapable of spreading the virus).

 

There are asymptomatic people around the world who are spreading the virus. IF these asymptomatic people (of which you might be one) wear a mask, they (you!) minimize the spread. Ferchrissake, is it really that hard to wear a mask when in public?

what about gloves, not all virus is spread by air , its also a contact virus, Yes/No ?

On Soi Buakhow within spitting distance of Sutus Court is a small pharmacy with plenty of masks (as of two days ago).

Cant get any there. They wont let me drive the 12 hours it takes to get there . Anywhere else closer, like maybe Nakhon Phanom, Sakhon Nackhon ?
