I definitely would not get in any vehicle driven by the OP because he does not know where the equator is located as every big conflict since WW2 has been in the Northern Hemisphere and I would like to hear him tell the families of the men that were with me in Vietnam that did not return home that it was not a major conflict.

There has been another comment on the "Expats in Khon Kaen" facebook site about transferwise and wise not doing FET notifications anymore, they are all local transfers.

Peter Kardos shared his first post.

Just be careful with Wise as there has been a lot on this site and other sites that have reported that their Wise transfers do not show as international transfers into their Thai bank accounts. I do not use Wise as my pension is paid directly from the Australian government into my Thai bank account but this year I have been asked for proof of where my income is derived from. I have provided a document from the Australian government pension 

Well, Kompasu has arrived and it crossed the border into Thailand and there was not 1 immigration officer there to check its visa.

Dunno ask the Thais that have lost their livelihoods, penniless, and no hope of a future. Add the increase in suicides, mental health issues etc.

No, ask the Thai families who have lost their love ones including men, women and children and the family breadwinner from this virus that now has no hope for the future. Atleast anyone who is still alive has a chance of working through this if they want to.

Well so much for "Lionrock" we didn't get one drop of rain in Khon Kaen. On the radar last night it covered the whole of the north east from the Laos border down to Udon Thani and across to Mudkahan but that was as far as the rain went. To be honest thou it is good because now the floods that came from Chiayaphum have a chance to move on and the people on the southern outskirts of Khon Kaen will be able to return to their homes until the next big one hits. Take care and keep safe everyone 

Today I went back to the same spot that I went to yesterday on Mittraphap Road and the water level has dropped about another 100mm but unfortunately that is not enough of a drop before "Lionrock" hits and looking at the Khon Kaen weather radar the rain is going to arrive before daybreak tomorrow. I looked at the Thai Meteorological Department website and then their satellite images and it clealy shows "Lionrock" and "Kompasu" but if you look further out into the South China Sea there is another larger depression heading this way. At the moment the weather reports for Khon Kaen for the next 7 days are thunder showers list every day with tonight 30%, tomorrow, 70%, Tues 40%, Wed 60%, Thurs 70%, Fri 70% and Sat 60%. I could not find any report on the depression that is following after "Kompasu".

Dumbest post ever.

 

You can be 100 years old in any other normal country and still have a credit card if your score is good.

We are talking Thailand and Thai banks and a 77 year old farang wanting to renew his CREDIT card. Dummy

My Thai bank credit card is based on the balance in a fixed deposit account at the bank. You need a minimum 50kTHB in the fixed deposit account to get a credit card with a limit to the value of the fixed deposit account. Age doesn't come into it.

Yes, but the bank has access to your fixed deposit of at least 50k THB to cover your credit card debt if you die. That is different to what is happening to this gentleman.

55555... yes this!! Because no one that age has "assets" that the cc company could check. What planet r u on?

I'm on the planet called Earth, and in a country called Thailand, unlike you it appears. You are dealing with commercial enterprises like banks that are only interested in making a profit with the least expenses involved and a person at his age is classified as a risk because of his life expectancy. So what planet r u on to not know that they look at the life expectancy of the applicant.

You want to renew your credit card at the age of 77. I would not renew your credit card at that age. You want the use of someone else's money instead of using your own. If you renewed your credit card at your age you could run up that much debt and then die and the bank would never be able to recover their money. No one would give you a CREDIT card at your age, a DEBIT card, yes, because with the debit card you are using your own money and not someone else's money. Why should a bank take the risk of you dying before you pay back the money. Face the facts that you are just like me, you are too old to be trusted with a credit card.

This is a video of the floods on Mittraphap Road (highway 2/Friendship Highway) at the southern edge of Khon Kaen city at 13:30 Saturday 9 October. These waters have now dropped about 100mm since the same time on Friday. With more thunderstorms and heavy rain due on Monday and for the whole of next week from the tropical storms "Lionrock" and "Kompasu"

On "My Khon Kaen" the the great illusionist General Anupong Paochinda, Minister of the Interior visited the Huai Phra area. Phra Lap Subdistrict Municipality, Mueang District, Khon Kaen Province to monitor water management so that water does not flood the inner economic area. So far the water at the D8 floodgate has risen 4 metres and the outflow from the Ubonrat Dam has been reduced to 15 million cubic metres per day. The Interior Minister said that water management by all sectors can be done effectively and if there is no more rain It is expected that in about 10 days the flood situation in Khon Kaen province will begin to unfold. The thing is that this idiot forgot to check the weather report which shows thunderstorms for all next week because of the tropical storm "Lion Rock" that are approaching from the South China Sea. Plus the Thai Meteorological Department has issued 40% Thunderstorms for Sunday with 60% for Monday to Wednesday and 70% for Thursday & Friday with unknown report at the moment for any further activity. So "IF" there is no further rain then the floods should start to ease in 10 days. What an idiot.

I had the same thing last year at Khon Kaen. expiry date 12 Dec went and renewed it early and new expiry date changed to 25 Nov so I am not going in early this year

I believe its actually the Chonnabot dam releasing water that has caused this rather than the Ubolratana dam.

Actually the main problem is both dams because they cannot stop either dams from releasing water. The Ubolratana is releasing water that is entering the Chi river downstream of the main flood front and that water is acting like a brake and slowing the flow of the water up stream of the river and not allowing the flood water to flow away quick enough and the water from the Chonnabot is being fed by the Chiayaphum flood waters and that is coming in behind the Khon Kaen flood waters. If they don't get the water at the front moving quicker then the water at the rear will build up higher and the water at the front is from Ubolratana dam. They are going to set up 12 water pushers at the front of the flood to push the water to Maha Sarahkam dam so that the water level at the rear will drop. At the moment the Ubolratana dam is at 90% and building up so at the moment they can control the water coming out of Ubolratana but once it hits 100% then there is no control of what comes over that wall and unless they get that water moving quickly before next week when there is more monsoonal rain to hit this area there is going to be some really serious flooding

Muang Kao Sukhothai Historical Park and Temples are open and have had no floods.

I guess they sent all excess water south.

 

 

Meuang Kao, Khon Kaen not Muang Kao, Sukhothai, and Khon Kaen is not south of Sukhothai it is east and the water that is flooding this area is the water from the Chiayaphum floods moving north in the Chi River plus the water that is released from Ubolrotana dam into the Chi River to alleviate flooding from around the dam catchment area

Something is fishy about this story.

 

Do you really need a gun to rob a pensioner (someone older than you) in a house? A big knife would be more than enough for most robbers. You only need a gun to rob a bank with security guards.

 

For all we know, the swiss guy could have used the gun to hit the robber's head .

 

Else how can a scuffle result in his death?

 

By the Thai guy hitting his head on the concrete wall or on the concrete floor causing a skull fracture and a brain bleed like what happens to many who are king hit and knocked off their feet

It would be interesting in what the cause of death is. In the pictures that I have seen they look as if the Thai guy has his head very close to the concrete wall. Has he died from head injuries inflicted when he fell and hit his head either against that wall or on the concrete on the ground. If this is the case then there is a good chance of the Swiss guy being found innocent on the grounds of self defence. There are many cases in Australia where a 1 hit assault has become a murder conviction because it was a deliberate act but with this case I would think that the Swiss guy did not deliberately hit this guy so that his head would hit the concrete with enough force as to cause a head injury which would cause the Thai guys death

Are they sure the person that they have detained is the right guy?

I would say at a guess that they have the right guy as it has now been released that he has confessed to both the rape and assault on the masseuse in Khon Kaen plus to the sexual molesting of the 12 year old school girl at a roadside food stall at Ban Phae on his way back to Nana. He claims that it was because of the use of the illegal drug speed that led him to commit these offences.

There is one thing that I have got to give this scumbag and that is he rode that motocross bike from Nana to Khon Kaen to molest a 12 year old school girl at Ban Phae then attempt to rape and attack a 45 year old masseuse in Khon Kaen or vice-versa and then get on that bike and ride it back to Nana. That would be about 1,100 to 1,200 kilometres, boy I reacon his a*s would be sore after that bike ride

The unfortunate thing is will this poor woman be able to return to work as a masseuse. There is not only the physical injuries but there is also going to be the mental injuries that she will have. Just imagine returning to her profession as a masseuse and a rather large farang comes into the shop and wants a massage. What is going to be going through that poor woman's head?
