It's Trump and Putin.

Often the dealer-provided insurance will include a clause that allows for repair at the dealership, at least during the first few years. Did you check the policy to see if this is the case? If it is, the insurance company can't refuse to have the car repaired at the dealer. The dealer might be more motivated to obtain the necessary parts if it is their own shop doing the repair. I remember hearing about a case many years ago when a vehicle was involved in a rear-end collision which caused internal damage to the car's transmission. The individual parts necessary for repair were unavailable and the insurance company was refusing to replace the whole transmission as it was not necessary. The vehicle owner waited for over a year until the parts finally arrived.

Is there an issue with insurance? What type of coverage did you have on the car when the accident occurred? There may be an issue with spare parts availability. What make and model car is it?

Mrs. Shrdlu refers to mobile data as "4G", so I assumed that the OP meant mobile data. I don't think my iPhone has a setting to specifically disable 4G and run on 3G or some other standard. At least I'm not aware of it. I don't think turning off mobile data will prevent reception of regular phone calls, but will likely prevent calls over LINE, Skype, Whatsapp, etc. I keep mobile data on since I do receive calls over LINE and Skype, but I do disable mobile data for specific apps that I do not want to use my data plan.

I think that leaving mobile data on all the time by itself may use a tiny amount of the monthly data allowance, but this should be negligible. It would use more if the apps updated automatically using mobile data. That can be switched off so that apps update only when using wifi. Then there are some apps that may use some data even when they are not active. I think they can also be switched to use data only when being actively used or while on wifi. I think it is possible to configure a phone to minimize data usage when not wanted and still leave mobile data on. Turning it off works, but it's kind of the nuclear option.

We bought a new Fortuner a number of years ago and ran into the same issue. We quickly abandoned any idea of updating the navigation system at the Toyota dealer. Until Toyota starts offering head units compatible with Apple Carplay or Android Auto, I think the best solution is to mount a smartphone on the dash or windshield and use Waze or Google Maps.

Sounds more like Cholnan is saying that if Pheu Thai fails to reach 310 seats, it will join up with any party associated with dictatorship. So don't be surprised.

I think that the reason why gas stations ask that mobile phones not be used is to help avoid a situation in which distracted motorists drive away with the filler hose still in the car and causing a spill or worse. This is a more likely scenario than a phone igniting fuel vapors. Switching off the engine would also probably help prevent someone accidentally leaving the car in gear and hitting the accelerator by mistake while fueling. Also, in an effort to avoid legal liability, the gas station will be told to make these requests so that any incident, whether directly related or not, could potentially be blamed on a non-compliant customer.

With just 152k on the clock and proper maintenance, the engine and transmission have a long, long way to go before anything major is required. Just keep to the regular service schedule and you'll be fine for another ten years or so.

The FCC and NFPA looked into the mobile phone as ignition source at gas stations and this is the FCC statement:

We stayed at Dewa Koh Chang back in December and we enjoyed it. Right on the beach and waking distance to a few shops and restaurants. We found that we used the car in the evenings to go to specific restaurants.

Non-citizens traveling with their US citizen family members may use the US citizen lines at US immigration. I have done this several times with Mrs. Shrdlu. Never an issue.

The local operations of multinational insurers such as AXA, AIG, MSIG and the like can be expected to honor the terms and conditions of their policies. The main issue with policies from Thailand-based insurers is that they are not particularly broad in scope or provide high limits for coverages such as medical and are a bit expensive for what they do provide. It is important that a policyholder understands exactly what the policy does and does not cover and the obligations of the policyholder, especially in the event of a loss. Ask for a specimen policy (not just a schedule of benefits) and read it and ask questions if you don't understand something. It also helps to use a good insurance broker who can both help you understand your policy (and your obligations under it) and assist with claims.

Ok, need to keep sexually explicit material away from young kids. Now do something about the guns.

Have you checked your blood glucose levels? Folliculitis can be brought on by Diabetes and might be harder to treat if it were. May need to switch to (or compliment with) systemic antibiotics.

Assuming that they consider the yellow house book as one form of proof of ID then this should work.

About a year ago I obtained an IDP there. In addition to taking a copy of my blue tabien baan, they also required a copy of my pink card. Seems they wanted two forms of proof of address.

I don't think the address matters. My son obtained his first DL in Samut Prakarn using his Thai ID with Bangkok address. He went to SP to avoid long queues at the DLT office in Bangkok.

Here's an interesting post on this issue: http://lewbryson.com/formaldehyde.htm

I must have misunderstood your earlier post. Sorry.

I suspect it would be just the first digit, but I really don't know.

The University of Minnesota's mission statement seems consistent with this: https://regents.umn.edu/sites/regents.umn.edu/files/2019-09/policy_mission_statement.pdf I suspect many other state schools have similar.

I guess because society in general is better off with a better-educated citizenry, not only financially through higher taxes collected because of better jobs, but also for non-financial reasons. Taxpayer-supported state universities don't only provide professional education, but also education in the arts and humanities. I think this broader approach to educating the community is often stated as part of the mission of state schools.

The first digit on the pink cards of PR holders is 8. Mine is an 8. 6 is for those here on temporary stay.

I'm not sure that the status of the pavement has much to do with the manslaughter charges, although I will defer to those with legal training or experience. Even if the cyclist was on a pedestrian-only pavement, I don't think that would excuse deliberate actions by a pedestrian that result in the death, however unintentional, of the cyclist.
