This perhaps depends on which passport (Australian or UK, or both) the police became aware of when the person died. My understanding (from one experience only) is that the police must be called if the deceased is a foreigner and the police then check for a passport and then contact the embassy of the found passport. But would the police keep searching for any additional passports (unless alerted by others present)? If the passport found is Australian the Oz Embassy are required to instantly do some form of 'bulletin' to other Australian gov't agencies (e.g. Centrelink who then cancel all benefits). Re the UK I have no information.

Seems to ring a bell that 2 party leaders got banned for not having totally removed all traces of long since defunct shares in no longer operating media companies. Three months delay on something that her family 'minders' should have already had all nicely tied up.

"...assuming it gets thru the network of sergeants, captains, majors & colonels with hands out." And that will be one factor which the new situation must stop.

Sure but what about the old military dinosaurs who will want the whole 'machine' to stay as is - for their power and glory. Seems to me that Just being told 'it's all changed' won't bring the dinosaurs on board. They will need to be told that big changes will happen and for good reasons and there's benefits for Thailand and for Thailand's youth. And like it or not they do still have a big power base.

Thank you. I was thinking more about people doing the test themselves and possibly unaware that the "Arm should be level with the heart'.

Dr. Sheryl, please correct me if I am wrong but my understanding it that it's important for the arm / hand to be in the correct position / slope to get an accurate reading. Thanks.

Have you considered recording a usufruct on the back of the chanut document? It would mention that even thought you personally are not the owner, the actual (new) owner agrees that you have the right to live in the property until YOU revoke that right. It should also mention that the property cannot be sold without your written permission. And you would be the only person who can cancel / remove the usufruct. I have a usufruct on the land and house I bought for my Thai son in a moo bahn village. Son was keen for the usufruct to be be put in place. Why? 1). Respect for me. 2). Because he doesn't trust his in-laws (for very good reasons) and his wife is frightened of her unpleasant corrupt siblings. Son and his wife had fears her siblings would try to get the owners name changed from son's name to son's wife's name then changed to their names. They would have no hesitation to strongly pressure sons' wife and no hesitation to offer / pay big money to a lawyer or to the local lands title office to get the chanut changed.

Bought a touch screen Lxxxxx model about 5 years ago, worked well for about 8 months then many problems with ghosting, then turned off the touch screen facility. Two repair centres in Chiang Mai declined to try to fix the touch screen facility. Used the machine with touch screen turned off for quite a few years but now time to buy a new notebook. Is touch screen on notebooks now less problematic and more reliable? Overall don't need high end capabilities. Any brand recommendations with touch screen? Thanks.

Best Subway I've used was in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. Right in the heart of the city and 3 minutes walk to the 4 star hotel my uni always used. Great friendly / focused / fast service, bread and fillings always fresh and tasty. All staff spoke English. On a day off I always called and ordered and picked up my order 15 / 20 minutes later. Some afternoons I went to Subway on my way to the campus and ordered and paid. When I got back to my hotel (about 9.30 pm) sandwich waiting in the lobby. Much better than any Subway I tried in Bkk / Pattaya.

I have the pink card and dark blue* Tabien Baan (TB) book. I make no comment re helping with drivers license / renewal because I got lifetime car and mocy licenses decades ago, never need renewal. *Dark blue TB book because I have PR (28 years).

And hope it ends on the same day because of a failed performance.

Seems to me the statute of limitations on charges relating to causing death sould not exist.

Here's a laugh "... everyone who has half a brain cell knows the charges were political, ... "

CP?

Or are they just voting as human beings?

Sure but I'm expecting that trump will have an excuse about rigged elections / doctored election counting machines. Plus gangs of MAGA fools at ballot counting venues all primed to insist they take over the venue / the counting etc. And they are convinced daddy has authority to do such things. Well at least guliarni now debarred.

International medical license. Is there such a thing? I'm aware of many people who completed medical doctor studies abroad but local authorities would not accept and had to complete 2 or 3 years study in LOS at a Thai Med. school and pass to gain a license to work as a dr. in Thailand. Aware of one farang who completed Ph.D. at a uni affiliated with MIT in the US, but local gov't ministry would not accept the Ph.D. because not gained at a Thai uni. And no uni in Thailand offers any studies in that subject. The guy concerned went to SIngapore and approached the appropriate ministry who instantly provided a certification through the National Uni. of S'pore that the Ph.D. was accepted in Singapore.

That can be true. My Thai son spent his last three years of high school in Singapore, and instantly noted the vast difference in education methodology (pedagogy), continuously being prompted to ask questions, to make analysis, to understand 'why is it true' etc etc. classic student centered education. He wanted to stay in SIngapore and get a degree and was accepted into the National Uni of S'pore (NUS) and had my financial backing. But then he discovered that the degree he would achieve at NSU would not be accepted by the Thai Education ministry. So he returned to LOS and did a 5 year degree in ED, in Bangkok. This included many short / longer-term work experience stints at Thai high schools. This was actually a nightmare. The brain dead headmistress of the first high schools he got attached to in Bkk spoke perfect English and she quickly noted that my son spoke perfect English. So she (stupidly decided to conduct all staff meetings in English (only), meaning that 99.9% of the teachers couldn't understand even 1% of what she was talking about. Plus during the staff meetings she often engaged my son (a work experience uni student) in long discussions in English, often asking my son to explain education methodology in Singapore. His answers she did translate into Thai. All this of course making the old teachers (a very large % ready to retire in the very near future) very angry. Quickly the old teachers conducted a protest which included a demand that my son be dismissed and sent back to his uni. The large turnout in the protest frightened the headmistress and she sent him back to his uni the same day. Quickly the dean of his uni got angry and accused my son of being a trouble maker and the dean would not allow my son to speak to defend himself. End result his grades for that semester reduced. There's more but now now.

At least 15 BYD cars in my village near Big C Don Chan. Owners: - Thais with good income - Chinese expats (many engineers), 90+%, along with Chinese wife and kids, speak good English. Pleasant friendly polite professional people, often a couple of families at our village pool, very fussy about their kids being clean and tidy. - One farang with Thai wife, both have BYD cars. Farang very satisfied with their BYD purchases.

Now on my AN ignore list.

Plus flying into U Tapao thinking it's very close to Pattaya is not true, it's quite a distance and far from check for taxi, van, bus services. I did one trip (3+ years back) from Chiang Mai to U Tapao with a plan for my Thai family (on a short holiday in Pattaya) to rent a taxi from Pattaya to come and meet me at U Tapao. Total Chaos. My Thai adult son called U Tapao airport twice to check arrival time of stated flight. "we don't know, call Swampy airport". Son's Thai wife called Swampy and got abused. She also called the airline and got transferred several times then the airline asked her to go personally to U Tapao airport to check because they weren't sure. Son called 2 taxi services from where he, his Thai wife and three kids were staying in Pattaya (friends house in Jomtien area), more expensive than a taxi from Swampy to Pattaya. Son told his buddy who owned the house - son's old uni buddy, he told my son to use his car and put 200Baht worth of Gasoline in the car on the way back to Pattaya. Flight Arrival time still unknown. I touched down, about 8:00 pm and no airport or airline staff on duty. Eventually a cleaner assisted by finding a cleaning schedule which also showed flight details. Called son, he arrived 30 times later and picked me up.

'House master' also commonly used. And, as already said it doesn't need to be the owner of the house.

So looks like you're saying 'no education', 'not allowed', because it will upset the rich. Screw the rich everybody is entitled to equal education/ equal opportunity. Give people the tools they need to achieve opportunities. How can it be any other way?

OK, some truth in that but what must be first is good quality education, then other factors can also develop.
