Power Bank Explosion Causes Panic on AirAsia Flight
Cabradelmar replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
The rule is that your power bank should have a capacity of no more than 100Wh (Watt Hours) and a maximum voltage of 12V (Volts), although some airlines allow for up to 160Wh. But even those can ignite. The only reason that let those on is because if they do ignite/explode, the fire can be contained (vs. in the hold of the plane) assuming staff are properly trained. Probably just need to ban power banks completely. The technology has proven once again to be unsafe to fly. -

They seem to know just about ever country they have ever flown too while on the run, but still can seem to capture them... -
There many Thais working in Korea illegally (as prostitutes, domestics, restaurant workers, farm hands, etc.). Korea has every right to deny someone entry if they can't prove their intent and purpose of their visit. It's not racism. It's call boarder control. And every sovereign country has the right to control immigration. Get over yourselves.

A 32 baht transaction a minute for how many minutes/how many transactions? Probably used his debit card online and someone committed fraud with his details. Banks will make good in any event. My wife had someone (gamestream.com) use her debit card details to the tune of 6000 baht (multiple small transaction in one day) and krungthai paid her back within 5 business day.

Thailand braces for intense heat with temperatures soaring

44/45 °C is miserable on any day. More of those days is not something I personally look forward to. But we endure. Not much more you can do. -
Thaksin sparks online debates for being released on parole
Cabradelmar replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Thaksin immediately headed to the AGs office to ask for "fairness" on the latest sec112 charges against him... The AG of course "suspended" the charges pending further investigation 😂 The rule of law in Thailand... What a joke. Based solely on who you are and who you know (hierarchy and patronage). But the constitutional Court finds Pita guilty for merely campaigning on suggesting changes to the laws (which is an MPs job), and was branded for wanted to "overthrow the monarchy". The constitutional Court should now convict the AG for giving Thaksin a free pass on his sec112 charges. -

New Govt Tourist Insurance to Cover Deaths and Accidents
Cabradelmar replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
I mean, is not a bad idea. Albeit limited... Tourist (visa) only and if not breaking the law (helmet law, traffic/maritime law, etc.). What they should do... When you look at who is being hurt and dieing... It's mostly those engraged in adventure activities (motorcycles, boating, etc.)... Just require the outfitters to make all foreigners buy supplemental insurance at the POS (non waivable). Like when you rent a car, but without the ability to take a waiver. Then your risk reduction is properly focused, and the pool of payees captive. Given the numbers (total payees vs payouts), insurance underwriters could make a bundle, and you only make those most at risk pay-in. Just a thought. -

Move To Reduce Speed Limit On 40 Busy Bangkok Roads To 50km Per Hour
Cabradelmar replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
50k/hr would be a blessing on some roads during rush hour. Regardless, any limits are mearly suggestions without enforcement. If any municipality needs speed (and traffic light) enforcement cameras its greater Bangkok. The revenue would be a windfall.
