No real checks are done on HGVs here, as someone who used to prepare and take HGVs for their annual test more than 2 decades ago in the UK, I have watched them 'test' here, its abysmal, no load testing of brakes and emergency brake, no pumping brakes to empty air, to see and hear warning gauges and audio buzzers work, or time how long it takes to build air again. NOTHING done to check steering apart from a bit of visual, no one rocking steering from side to side, as with the pedals none, instruments switches, and door hinges for lift, nah zilch. And I haven't even mentioned suspension, and all bolts checked by tapping with a small hammer. Oh did I mention Mechanic is one of those jobs forbidden to Falang. Safe Trusted Thailand my @rse

Changing an Extension of Stay
brianthainess replied to maxx58's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They do prefer it as it means less work for Them, i.e. less documents to check etc, and in most cases does not require checking by their head offices in other provinces, -
Yes and so did Thais all around the world, WITHOUT being treated as lower than Soi dogs, with no need to 'register as a foreigner' or show any ID or visa status. Thailand was the ONLY ! country in the Whole World ! to treat foreigners this way, having to give all personal details, on a site that was VERY user un-friendly.

Same here, but about 4 yrs ago when extension rules were changing, I visited my local IO for a list of requirements, It was given to me in Thai ????, I then asked "how many Thais need an extension ? you need to have a list in English !" 3 weeks later when I went again, the assistant there, came running up to me with a well translated list, with a beaming smile. That list has stayed constant, but as I always apply one month in advance any changes will be pointed out. There is the last one on the list that always makes me smile.

Why do Thai's drink water that tastes like plastic?
brianthainess replied to Don Chance's topic in General Topics
They stopped using those opaque bottles where I live a couple of years ago, now they are clear (with a blue tinge), I may add any plastic bottled water left in direct sun tastes of plastic. -
