MG Key options
Wow! So you can get a whole smart phone for 1k but a key-fob is 6k? Not exactly a god value is it? The circuitry in the fob is nothing, I would be surprised if they cost 200 baht, including the case.

Thai taxi driver slams cops for toll indulgence
It is always odd through the language barrier and there are usually issues on both sides, however, I am not fighting with anyone over a 100 baht toll charge. Maybe he had an EZ-Tag?

Thai taxi driver slams cops for toll indulgence
As I clearly stated: I have never entered a toll road without the driver asking.

MG Key options
My MG6 uses an electronic key-fob. There is a plastic door key inside the transmitter as well. You could copy that easily enough but it does not start the car. I have both of mine but what are they asking for a replacement?

Ophthalmologist or qualified Eye person who speaks English for new Glasses
I have managed to get several pairs of glasses without an English speaking optometrist. You know how the optics tests work, go do it. If you cooperate, they will be very helpful.

Thai taxi driver slams cops for toll indulgence
They need signage to clarify that tolls are extra but people should have some sense that there is no way to add tolls to the meter. I have never entered a toll road without the driver asking. I always arrive with small money to pay for the taxi and tolls. Never give 1000 because you will not get change. The falangs were wrong and should have been made to pay.

Thai immigration cracks down on misbehaving foreigners
What they need to do is crack down on the IOs doing under the table extensions, then they can limit O applications to two a year. Eliminating the shady visa holders will eliminate most of the shady behavior.

Visa Extension Fee
I was just told that the Korat office is charging 2400 for an O annual extension. Is this a new rate or are they just short of tea in the office?

Are the stickers available for download? I need to print some for the Lao Khao bottles.

Maybe Thailand should follow Korea and be more selective of expats/tourists
Before targeting individuals for their bigotry, maybe start by cleaning up the visa system and deporting the visa cheats with "Agent" visas and repetitive visa runs. Once that is done, feel free to target the racists, it will be easier then.

US consulate interview for tourist visa
I am looking at starting the application with my wife. I have zero interest in moving back to the US, but I don't get to attend the interview. Happy to show them the Elite visa but getting the officer to read and understand is a problem. I don't mind rolling the dice with the 6700 baht. It would be nice to show her America but there are other places to go.

How hard for Thai Citizen to visit U.S.A just for a short holiday?
There are only 24 time zones, if you are traveling through 20, you are an idiot.

Soaring travel costs to Phuket spark tourist backlash
The baggage is the big kicker. It costs more than the passenger. I would avoid Phuket this season just to avoid the taxi thieves and drunk Russians.

Depositing a check in a Thai bank drawn on a US bank
I have done it a few times. It takes 4-6 weeks to get the money but it can be done.

Thai Airways sues over passenger’s flight diversion criticism
Criticizing the airline for an airport closure is silly. They have no control. Criticizing them for how they take care of the customers after that is a different issue. There does not appear to be a problem there.

Thai teachers pierce lips of 36 kids over gum mischief
Prosecute for 36 counts of assault and aggravated battery on a child. They need some prison time for this nonsense.
