I was under the impression Kratom gave you more energy, not induce Omphaloskepsis 

That depends on how much one ingests.Same as any other drug. 

Moderation is the word.

Yes, that's the code I am talking about. Starts with 600000 followed with 6 more digits. (example 600000123456). When you register you enter this code as Thai ID and enter your own password and few personal details like your phone number ect, then you get OTP code by SMS on your phone, enter that and you're ready to go.  

The Famous Yellow book has a 13 digit number  that's what we used to Register to Get the Jabs.

I am not sure I have a Usa marriage certificate registered at my local amphur and have been to my local immigration office for 3 years. How can you not bother telling them let alone all info is on computers and paper backup stored in books. No disrespect but I prefer to follow proper law. Thank you   

If all else fails ,the easy way out is to get the extension based on Retirement.

Dying to re-open: Phuket business leaders push for Dec 1 full re-opening 

Fully reopening? What Hoops the people have to Jump through for that ?

A diesel train carriage, AKA a diesel rail car, has its own propulsion system built into the bogies. They do not need a locomotive to haul them. There are thousands of examples all over the world, including right here in Thailand. I've been on quite a few.

 

Never seen one sorry  ,I have seen the electric ones with self propulsion.

But then I don't travel on trains .

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has announced outcomes of the inspection of the 17 multiple unit diesel train carriages being donated by Japan, finding them all in good condition.

Like I said they are Carriages Not Loco's .

One can tow them with ones Ute if you like .

Diesel.... I thought we were moving away from such fuels. 

They aren't Loco's they are carriages. 

I would think they can hook them up to an Electric Loco as the carriages haven't got self propulsion.

Does deforestation have anything to do with this?

For sure, and not enough decent drains to get rid of the water quick.

I'm not in Thailand and of course not all women do this but it is quite common. Some do it because they are simply 'farang milking', others may do it because of pressure from their family and others are simply reckless.  Whatever, it happens and those who pay for a car and register it in their wife's/girlfriends name thinking all is well, should be aware of it.

 

I speak from personal experience by the way. My ex wife put a car I paid for 'in the bank' - at the time I didn't even know it was possible. If I'd known, no way would it have gone in her name.  Fast forward a few years and a divorce later, she has no car and no money - for all I know she may even still owe the bank monry too.

Sorry to hear that you have  been Done .

Well it's like they say ,One shouldn't invest /buy anymore than one can afford to lose /walk away from.

Are expats being tempted by Thailand? 

Maybe some ,It depends on the individual  and their Purse .

What one would want /expect from the country they may want to go on holiday/retire

Yeah and watch her go off and 'put it in the bank' (collateral for a loan) like many do. No thanks.

Well if you think that way you shouldn't be in Thailand and/or relationship.

No problem just put the car in the GF/Wife name All you have to do is PAY.

I did ,No problem.

One only invest in Thailand what one can afford to lose if things go South.

Thailand to launch ‘Digital Health Pass’ for domestic flights

Sounds pretty stupid .One gets a slip of  paper when they receive the Jabs that should be enough, why all the rigmarole .Isn't there enough BS if one wants to travel.

Foreigners who join anti-govt protests face deportation and blacklist: Thai police

Yes I agree it's not up to us Farangs to Meddle in Thai Politics. 

Never us DHL Always Ask Vender to send your item Not to use DHL  

If they Try to send it with DHL Don't Buy/Pay if using COD.

You got a link from a reputable source for that? It should be almost impossible for anyone to get a fourth jab. Very few can now get the third.

Why do you want a Link ? I don't have a link . (no chain) It was on TV Thai News .

Why would you say  almost impossible? Anything is possible ,Not only in Thailand you know.

The right jab?

Is there a right Jab,, You tell me.

Maybe they will find the right vaccine that will prevent close to 100% against C19  infection. 

It seems now that there's not much difference between No jab ,1 Jab or 2 Jabs to prevent infection.

I had 2 AZ Jabs but  it makes me wonder if they Really work and for How Long, Maybe 6 Months (or less) then maybe one will need a booster jab or a New one for the New mutated Virus . 

Just Tailgating like everyone else . Reaction time ,,,,,None.

Why would someone take a third dose of something that didn't work the first two times?

Funny you should say that. 

Was in the news last few days ,in America one person got 4 jabs and now he's got C19 .     

So whats good or not, a jab or no jab.

So how do you remove a government that has rigged the system to stay in power?

Protest in the right manner,,, there's an other way but, but, that's what happened to the Kennedy's I think.

Young people without complications are at almost no risk from covid but can spread it. Not sure what you mean by mobbing as any such demonstration could be a mob. As for violence, that is never acceptable but you also have to look at the tactics used against them. I doubt those arrested get an easy time. Joe Ferrari exposed the type of thing that goes on as normal behaviour. 

Every one is at risk for C19. 

Mobbing as to many people together looking for trouble.

If they get arrested they shouldn't get an Easy time .It's their own fault .

13 minutes ago, chang1 said:

At what point would you say they should protest?

If they used force to get into power?

If they remove all viable opposition?

If they vaccinated themselves and left everyone else to the mercy of covid?

If they allowed rampant corruption to continue?

If they turned a blind eye to corrupt police and immigration?

If they rigged elections in their favour?

Or if they refused to have an election and just held onto power?

Obviously none of this is likely to happen but if it did would you be happy to sit at home and do nothing? 

Ok protesting is Fine ,But not the way they do it now, Mobbing and Violence. 

They are at great risk for C19 with so many people out and about.
