A study showed 80% of the Thai motorbike drivers have NO LICENSE ..... so what is new? They know it very well as they know how many motorbikes has been sold and how many driving licenses has been issued.

I don't know where they get this prices. Here where I stay, a non Farang touristic place with a very nice beach, we pay, at the beach in a restaurant-bar, 80THB for a small beer (Chang-Leo) and 120THB for the big bottle. We even have a beer bar were we pay only 40THB small and 65THB big bottle. I don't know were in Belgium I can drink a 33cl beer for less than 4Euro in a bar at the beach. The places I am talking about don't have 'garniture' with what I mean: don't have bargirls to help you drinking your beer.

There are many mini buses from Buriram to Korat.... never heard of it? If you really wants it very cheap you also can walk.... will ot be the most fast way to do but CHEAP.

One thing I don't agree with and ask myself why you did it:

you connect the N (neuter) with the earth.

KEEP the Bleu and the Green wires complete separated in the main box, just as you did in the secondary boxes !!!!

A question starting by "I ask for MY FRIEND...." better would be: I ask this for MYSELF. Who do you think can give a correct answer on a question as this one? All depends on the lifestyle of YOUR FRIEND. I case he has no income, he would need a hell a lot money to keep his trousers up for maybe more than 30 years.

I live in Chumphon, out of the city. Till yesterday evening I did not see anything else as I saw before. Everything was open as usual and also didn't hear about a quarantine. Chumphon is 'red zone' because it has borders with a high infected province and with Myanmar, not because a high number of infections.

I use it for many many years yet. Flemish Carbonades (boiled in dark beer), Goulash .... all made in the slow cooker ..... a fast cooker (under pressure) I don't like.... it goes fast but it is all steamed and the taste is not what it should have to be.

Reading the reactions some people are already dancing on the table .... for what? There is nowhere written amnesty has been extended yet.... it's only a rumor, nothing more, so don't count on it yet.

I also don't understand the comments of certain people here. Had 6 months to do what they had to do but..... no they didn't. Now they are complaining and put the blame on Thailand. You are a tourist and a tourist is not supposed to stay for years, if you do, you are not a tourist at all and you are here on the wrong visa.... is this so difficult to understand?

Those people what has been clever enough they made the 90d report during the amnesty just as they did before....but I know, for some people everything they have to do is to much... now they have to run run run.....

Don't worry, the other neighbor countries will follow soon with equal requirements. They just want to get rid of the people staying for years with the wrong visa as TV-ME, Non O-ME, so the border-and visa runners. Covid is a good reason to get rid of them and to force them to get the right visa with the financial requirements. Now they just jump over the border, spend nothing and they are gone for another 3 months.....That last, the financial requirements will be a problem for many.

there is something wrong in this topic: 'A POOR GIRL'.... A poor girl??? it's about hundreds thousands Thai Baht... don't you realize a YOUNG POOR GIRL does not have hundred thousands of Thai Bath to transfert.

Here, in the South, most along the coast, wooden houses were replaced by brick:

-first after the Tropical Storm HARRIET in 1962.

-second after the Typhoon GAY in 1989

Most all wooden houses along the cost, even several km inside the country had been destroyed and were rebuild in brick build houses.

AndyAndyAndy,

you don't tell us what means 'normal life' to you. Possible you are one of them: waking up around 09.00, starting by drinking a big Leo or Chang, keeping on drinking till you fall a sleep after noontime. At 17.00 start drinking again till you fall a sleep again.... when having no beer anymore sending your wife to the shop to buy new. At night, in case you wake up, some Hong Tong bring the sleep back.......

In this case you don't have to change your life at all, Corona will not kill you and you have a very little chance to be infected. Something else will kill you.........after your normal life

don't blame your wife, just blame yourself. Try to understand another culture before making such a conclusions. You are the only one to blame.
