  1. Correct. And yes, a small sign WOULD be a good idea. A lot of people may expect you were a regular taxi and be pissed if you didn't stop for them.

    It's jusat a minor (no\pt a long cab) pickup with an after-market baclk on it. As long as you do not paint in if official colours and acty as a licensed taxi, you can certainly own one.

    However, you must register the canopy with the DMV and your insurance company to be legal. A sign in Thai stating that it is a private vehicle and not for hire might be a good idea as well.

  2. Deep in ____... sorry but you arre very wrong. You should worry when you make comments on a subject you obviously know nothing about.

    The OWNER and the Building Management have the rights required to obtain it. The tenant would have to persuade either of those to formally request the video.

    >>Actually tenants have every right to ask as the Tennant you become legal guardian of the property hence you can report yourself TM 30. As a Tennant you have lots of rights. <<

    ​The tenant is not a juristic person .If this guy wants to demand anything he has to go through the owner .If he shows his rental contract the manager may see fit to help him ,but he can not demand it .Then it will be over to the Condo complex manager to deal with it .No good the tenant walking up to reception and just asking any old Condo employee .A police report of stolen property will also be needed .Thats why i think its crazy to get involved in all of this for a bicycle light .A bike when parked up should always be locked and anything easily removable taken off .


    Sorry you are incorrect. On all counts.but not to worry.
  3. There is no fee to modify/correct your diver's license.

    Yes you can update your DL with your new PP number. Just go to the Land Transport office with both documents and 3,500 Baht for the fee. I did mine in Mae Tang last month, fun, the officers were laughing their butts off.

  4. Not sure what you mean by the high failure rate, I would assume it would be about the same (or even a tad less...) than the 3 year failure rate of 60% in the USA.

    I understand the frustration of going all the way to a restaurant in hopes of getting a specific meal one has been craving for days to find it closed but here one needs to check their operating hours first (website, FB page or call) as PP did.

    I would like to point out that many close for lame reasons last minuet and post on their FB page but I don't particularly want to check every time right before finding a parking place.

    My restaurant in America was open 11:30 a.m. - 10 p.m. 7 days a week, without closing between meals for years. I worked 12-16 hrs a day as owner/chef.

    BUT we're not in Kansas (or Boston as the case may be) anymore. I understand why someone would want some free time for their family and life which is why they might be doing it here instead of back home, and am quite honestly very jealous they are able to.

    I do notice a large restaurant failure rate which I chalk up partially to work ethic and professionalism, or there lack of.

    I for one will not return to a restaurant that is closed during their regular hours of operation, many times without even a sign with an explanation on the door.

    I've noticed that more hair salons here are slowly starting to close on Mondays, like in the West, instead of any random day, for the same reason that more customers would prefer their services on their day off. This is also true of the cycling shops, many which use to be closed on Sunday or Wednesday.

    For this same reason in America many restaurants are closed on Monday, their slowest day.

    I'm not sure why here places close on on weekends or at 5 p.m. but up to them but it should would make things simpler if there was some method to the madness but that sure wouldn't suit the local way of doing things would it smile.png

  5. Russia has the highest rate of dash-cam usage. For a VERY good reason. Dash-cam big discount in insurance. No dash-cam, maybe not even get insurance.

    with the worlds highest use of cctv - stationary and mobile - it is no wonder that russian traffic incidents are more widely published than those of other nations.

  6. "a friend told me..." :"a neighbour told me......" "I heard......."..Enough of this crap. Kill this the umpteenth thread on the subject of ,ilk, butter... etc.

    Milk is milk. Don't like it? Don't buy it. Period.

  7. My suggestion would be not to use wood for windows. Period. Even teak deteriorates in this climate. More importantly, wood shrinks and expands here, resulting in jammed windows or broken glass.

    <y father-in-laws house has wooden sashes. After 7 yearsm we have replaced them with alu.

  8. No, the phones do not come with SIM cards. Those you can purchase (almost) anywhere. No, no passport required to purchase. But the cards will not worj long unless registered. THAT will require some form of identification.

  9. What total nonsense! Drilling for a household well - even for a community well - is NOT controlled nor forbidden.

    For the information of the original poster, check with anyone in the area with a well and measure the depth of all you can find. Then add 5 metres and you should never run out. Ours dried up in April - our neighbours was 4metres deeper and didn't dry up at all.

    As in every civilized country, taking water out of the ground is very restricted and is regulated by law.

    As foreigner, you would get the highest punishment if you have no permission and they catch you.

    I would forget it and for a part of the money you would spend for drill a hole I would buy a tank big enough to "survive" a week or two if there is no more water supply at all and a pump to feed your house.

    There are already many topics about water tanks on this forum.

  10. "RAW" pork, you mean. Yes, this is a sad case.

    This thread as well as many posted here and in many SE Asian tourist sites, suggests that food in Thailand is likely to be bod. Food poisoning seems a regular complain of backpackers and suitcase tourists alike.

    This requires some clarification:

    According to the most recent data available from the CDC (2004), each year roughly 1 in 3.5 Americans (over 76 million reported cases) of food-poisoning are reported. Of those, approximately 325,000 are hospitalized, and 5,000 died of foodborne diseases. More recent data from the CDC suggests this number has been climbing dramatically with current food poisoning rates over 1.5 million per year. [source: http://www.cureresearch.com/s/salmonella_food_poisoning/stats-country_printer.htm]

    WebMD reports that food poisoning in the US costs $152 billion a year, kills 5,000 people, and sends 325,000 to the hospital each year. That is 15.3 deaths per million residents.

    According to the US Federal Food Sately Commission (FDA), in 2003 there were 126,185 reported cases of food poisoning in Thailand, with 11 reported deaths. That is 0.15 deaths per million inhabitants. [source: The Wall Street Journal http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1013719576572770000]. This is up from 59,000 just 10 years ago, an increase primarily due to the increase in consumption of prepared foods.

    The girls will all be warned against eating pork now
