Even elephants are legal. Driving an elephant while you are drunk is probably safer than an ATV.

Renters are not breaking any law. The owner of the unit should be prosecuted. In Thailand the unknowing foreigner is harassed because Thai police are ineffective and cannot do their job properly.

They would first have to explain the word - responsible, which is beyond comprehension to Thais or any non-Japanese Asians

Sorry what reputation?

Tour agency should be fined 100,000 baht per farang for taking them into a restricted area. It is 100% their fault and they should showcase this on channel 23 and 7, showing that business operators are responsible. I would also shutter their business for a month - confiscate their boat.

I think they mean non-stop. High speed in Thailand would be really scary. Zero maintenance and zero understanding equals disaster

Definitely. I know I personally drink 2 bottles of Dom Perignon @ 15,000 baht a bottle every afternoon and get really upset when Tops closes their liquor sales. I thought all backpackers were like me.

Maybe the entire story is fake news and just a way to make money. Seems this story keeps replaying with different names and photos - but always same story.

Kids can buy beer in family run stores. I have my wife’s niece (8) run to the local shop when I need a refresher.

Police man crashed his pickup last week. The back was loaded with hundreds of cartons of vapes. Thai news commented. “Aren’t they illegal”.

Definitely important to keep reading those IQ-Air readings. That will solve everything. Timely government intervention - 555!!!!!

What do you mean “they”, everyone likes to gamble

The afternoon starts at 12pm (noon) and then midnight is 12am

Old days were the same - if you were caught on the street - if you arrive at the airport to depart the country, you can still visit the overstay counter and pay 50 baht.

Where is the path? The LOS - land of stupid, just gets stupider everyday. Why would we not be told?

Of course you can

They didn’t mention that I also awarded Pattaya something

Maybe she was working the streets of the UK and they were not a happy couple. Many possibilities in life.

The revenue department considers foreign pensioners to be no different from any other foreigner. if you brought money into Thailand in 2024 (including using a credit card to pay for something or using an ATM to withdraw some money), you must declare that as income. If that income is a pension that was taxed in your home country, then you include a copy of your 2024 home country tax return, showing income and tax deducted. On your Thai tax return you calculate your tax on the money you brought into Thailand based on the Thai tax rates and then deduct your tax paid in your home country and if you owe Thailand - pay it. Read the following publication from the Revenue Department - it is in English and clear. https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/user_upload/lorkhor/newspr/2024/FOREIGNERS_PAY_TAX2024.pdf

CCTV footage in the area of the ATM would help

self driving buses are being tested in South Korea, China, North America and Europe. They are the only solution to all problems in Thailand. send all truck drivers, bus drivers, and taxi drivers back to the farm to live with grandma. It only a few years away (3-5) in China and other asian countries - hope that is also true in Thailand. even if you disabled all but one of the cameras, the current self driving vehicles are 100 times better than the best driver in Thailand.

heard they were going to give out free masks to affected groups - young and old. Of course they are not planning on giving out N95 masks (US certified) or even KN95 (Chinese certified with more than 60% in the market tested as fake). They will of course give out the free medical masks which are for protecting against virus but these medical masks do nothing against PM2.5. The people I do see wearing masks in Thailand are all wearing these medical masks - useless, but I notice they are helpful in protecting your face in a motorcycle accident - or so the ignorant believe.

She said “he always phones” re missing son’s birthday - sounds divorced

Really. This is the land of negotiations. 555

The 180 days is the total number of days in the country. Doesn’t matter how many ins and outs. Tax return for 2024 is only required if you remitted monies during 2024. That means if you used your credit card to pay for a dinner in Thailand, you remitted funds. Or if you hit an ATM while having a few beers, you remitted funds.
