  2. Second that. Often wonder why they do not use more "cats eyes" on all the roads.
  3. Younger Thais & Brits both love a good ruck. However the use of a metal bar in a public are is just nuts.
  4. Motor sports are not limited to just F1. I see no reason for Thailand not having more race tracks and rally courses. Soon Bangkok will be underwater so why invest there at all ?
  5. Note Buriram Airport already has a major new terminal building probably designed with international flights in mind and associated runway expansion nearing completion. Chang International Circuit with a Moto GP Race track layout is about 38Km from the airport. A major investment currently operating with only 2 return flights a day to DMK airport in Bangkok - "Amazing Thailand". I wonder if the PM is fully aware.
  6. But no crack down on stray dogs to protect Thailand's world class tourism image.
  7. Some progress then......................
  8. In Thailand it is actually not easy to find a vet to euthanize a sick pet. Not all vets perform this service. I think a court would have to order the euthanization for it to happen promptly.
  9. Elsewhere the picture is very different. It is not about GDP it is about the 1,000s of expats living locally. There can be no income tax based on residentcy without representation & benefits. In the rural areas the 65K-150K a month typically spent locally will be lost if expats leave - it will hurt the locals personally big time.
  10. Nothing.................. My local Thai community will loose the Thai Baht I am taxed directly. They will get nothing of my taxes invested locally. It will be a net loss locally. In fact it could hasten a total loss locally if I exit Thailand.
  11. "No tax without representation". Anyone up for a Thai Tea party?
  12. DTV...................................
  13. Okay so she tickets the box for being well educated - not exactly Ivy League though. Maybe she will become an American Presidential candidate down the road if things do not work out here in Thailand - the only qualification needed is to have been born in the USA which she was it seems. I wonder which airline her husband flies for.
  14. Re; "Thirayuth Suwankaesoorn" ............................cannot find a photo online of this person. I guess he is just a very private person.
  15. This happens alot. I now allow 20 mins in my time of booking with Grab. I take screenshots too encase I need to cancel due to excessive time spent waiting.
  16. I did a sleep study in January 2021 at Bangkok Hospital CM. I purchased a APAP (CPAC) machine in CM assisted by the ResMed Rep. Doctor recommended or approved my machine the ResMed Model AirSence 10 Autoset made in Australia - cost 60K plus mask. I bought direct through the Rep who visits CM hospitals routinely. The cost through the hospital will be ALOT more. My insurance covered 80% of initial cost plus replacement parts. You will need to have a stock of Air Filters from ResMed especially in the burning season. Upon taking the machine home it stayed in its carry bag for a full week before I tried it out for real. The mask was a pest at first along with learning to sleep with my mouth closed. Now nearly 4 years on I awake feeling good. Good luck with your teatment.
  17. Try Bangkok Hospital CM Skin Clinic. Ask for female Dr Thorfun Wongwan. I have been under her care since 2021 if not longer. I cannot comment on prices though as I use Insurance. I use for other matters and generally endorse this hospital on price, location & efficiency.
  18. Some of the comments imply the DMax PUs are actually well maintained and tuned to gain performance at the expense of other peoples lungs. So increasing the frequency of vehicle inspections wil not resolve the issue as the owners are probably well prepaired to de-tune in time for any inspection. What might be useful is a 4 digit phone number specifically for reporting the registration number of vehicles betching dark smoke. Once the system receives 5 reports a summons is raised and a mobile inspection unit pays the owner a surprise visit. A job for Big Joke I reckon.

  21. Logical idea however hard to believe that in Thailand the money would find it's way to the hospitals.
