He was a teacher, surely his employers were legally required to cover him under the SS scheme?

If they didn't cover him, he could just sue them for the medical costs.

and just how long would it take to receive any money?? We are in Thailand !!

Only one point deducted for going through a red light? Seems ridiculously lenient to me.

the difficulty is catching such a person.....I believe that there are NO cameras at lights could be wrong !!!

Wait and see...patience is the key 

not long before April is here !!

It has been muted that all the bars are to be shut down in April!!

What will happen...i.e what is going to be built on the land once the bars (and could be the fruit & veg market), have gone/been demolished???

could be for birds to perch on !!!!!! and have a rest !!

does IT REALLY MATTER what plates any vehicle is carrying ???

If I kick the motorcyclist over while he is trying to hit me, then walked over and punched his lights out while throwing his keys down the nearest storm drain, would that be considered assault or self-defense?

where are WE ????!!! and are you a farang?

I think maybe the health department and police traffic department may be two separate organisations. Can’t imagine the public health department handing out traffic fines .

we are in Thailand things happen in weird ways here !!!

The page on Guidance shows----

Making your application

You must apply in person. If you’re unable to, someone else can go on your behalf. You must bring photo ID with you.

Bring original supporting documents and a colour photocopy of each one. The original documents will be returned to you.

You must also bring your current passport with you when you apply, and a full colour photocopy of the entire passport (every page including blank pages).

You can’t travel with it after you’ve applied for a new one - but you will be able to keep your existing passport for ID purposes.

You’ll need to book an appointment by email. Include your first name and last name and 3 alternative dates and times. You will receive an email confirming your appointment.

UK Visa Application Centre
The Trendy Office Building,
28th Floor,

it IS NOW NOT on the 28th Floor....the office for passport is on the 8th floor.......

The prosecution has yet to happen and we will probably never hear any more about this case, but I hope that I am wrong.

we never really hear what happens to prosecutions probably because it takes so long and then all is forgotten !!

What a hypocritical crusade!

I am a non-smoker but hey there are more important issues to look after.

Instead of hunting smokers under open sky they could look for the chaos on the roads.

 

non smoking areas are more important than idiots on motorbikes or vehicles that do NOT stop for people on pedestrian crossings..... or the illegal undertaking remember we are in Thailand....

Is there a word for 'maintenance' in the Thai language?  Cars/motorbikes/trees/engineering parts/electrical works/water treatment/sewage disposal/garbage removal  -  please feel free to add.

what about pavements and holes in the roads ??

I believe if you have £16,000 of savings you cannot get help, except for a free TV licence of course.

If you only have a state pension you may be allowed benefits. AFAIK

tv licence only if 75 of age I THINK is for free

I certainly hope they dig a little deeper than that.  For example, who stands to gain upon his demise?  The couple had split up, but if they were still married, she (and any new partner she may have) stands to inherit his estate.  By my count, that's at least one and maybe 2 suspects.

 

how do you know SHE INHERITS THE ESTATE?? he might have been renting a condo!! and made a will leaving ALL to someone else.....do not assume !!

I was told years ago that to assume makes a fool of YU AND ME !!!

Go fund me.      x

 

Loan.   

 

All those friends and family and nobody is prepared to loan this woman £10,000 instead they go to the local paper to assist in begging money from strangers. I understand that many Brits, used to the welfare state, travel abroad without insurance and expect others to pick up the tab but I don't have to like it. My mother is 86, regularly travels abroad and arranges insurance every time, which she has never used.  

if she is 86 what premium does she pay for travel insurance??

some friends of mine in their 70's stopped comning to Thailand as the costs were very high....

boils down to bad driving and lack of good driving skills. These people CAN NOT "READ THE ROAD", foresee anything can not anticipate, have NO perception, and should NOT be on the roads !!

go to the UK.gov website it tells you there what is required and acceptable.
