Thailand to abolish hefty import tariff on wine
Super! The supply will still be limited to vendors that can ship in bulk or charge a high premium for freight but this will be great. Plenty of really good wines out there. Hopefully this will be published soon enough to take advantage of the 2023 releases coming in the next few months.

Brutal Pit Bull Attack Shocks Community; Victim Succumbs to Injuries
Except that aggressive people are drawn to deadly dogs and continue to breed them to be even more aggressive. It has gotten out of control. They need to be regulated somehow. Start with proper tagging and vaccination medals and continue with prosecuting irresponsible owners, be they pitbulls or soi mutts. This owner should be incarcerated for manslaughter and the dogs put down.

Thai taxi turmoil: Fare fight leaves traveller abandoned on road to Pattaya (video)
The 1200 + 200 is a fair price. It looks like the taxi stole a fare from Bolt and then tried to scam her. He should be arrested for fraud.

Buying a second hand scooter?
There are not enough parts to hide a defect. Anyone would know. I would be looking for defects to lower the price, brake pads, lights, shocks, seat covers.... whatever. Anyone with a simple socket set can fix them.

Mid-air madness: Unruly passenger turns Lufthansa flight to Bangkok into chaos
There was a previous claim that lighters are legal based on the British rules. They are not necessarily legal. You do not need to be rude in your comments, it was relevant to the posts you did not bother to read.

Buying a second hand scooter?
The CVT is the failure point but nothing to fixing one. I just had an engine rebuild done on an old dream for 7000. Your exposure is minimal. The correct paperwork and clear title is the big problem.

TM30 required
Spend the night at a foreign hotel on the way to immigration and ask for a TM30 receipt. Do it near a smaller office while you are at it, shorter lines.

England, maybe, other places not. Germany does not explicitly mention lighters. America and China clearly say no. Thailand does not explicitly mention them.

Mid-air madness: Unruly passenger turns Lufthansa flight to Bangkok into chaos
They have confiscated quite a few of mine over the years. They are not allowed on planes. FYI: Confirmed on TSA website. They are very specific about matches and lighters. Not allowed.

Phuket unveils Crime Free scheme to ensure tourist safety during peak season
By Private Interests, does this mean that they have deals with Jet Ski operators, Taxi bandits, Tuk Tuk thieves and Russian gangsters? I mean other than the usual arrangements.

Thailand ranks bottom of the pile with ASEAN English score
The English I have heard from the Thai teachers is dreadful. If they are going to be serious about it, let the retired falangs volunteer a few hours a day to help. If budget is an issue, there are thousands of qualified teachers in India available. Dreadful accents but proper vocabulary. I would be happy to throw in an Algebra class for free.

cheap software anywhere
Try AShampoo.Com, they sell an Office knockoff that works great. I think I paid around 20 usd for three licenses. Get on their mailing list and wait for a promotion. You can also download OpenOffice for free. It works great for basic office functions. https://www.openoffice.org/download/

Help!, Girlfriend just had lease cancelled with one day notice
OK, it is a condo that they want to sell. She has been staying there for several years. She is a reasonable tenant that does not trash her home and pays consistently. Mature adult with grown kids, no booze, no drugs, no stupid. I can't help much with a Thai lease, I know some people that might be able to help there though. She has an opportunity to occupy a smaller unit in the building but it is not the unit she rented.

Do police recognise/accept digital IDP Driving permits in Thailand?
Nobody has ever questioned mine, ever.

Do police recognise/accept digital IDP Driving permits in Thailand?
With an English license they will not need an IDP. If Thai language is available online they might choose to accept it. Thai is not offered in the IDP books.

Help!, Girlfriend just had lease cancelled with one day notice
What are the normal termination term for renting a condo? One day notice when payments are up to date does not seem reasonable. Every lease I ever had was at least a month, both ways. Does anyone know Thai tenancy laws? Moving is not the issue as much as the timing.
