Not mentioned is whether this 'clinic' has a license to perform such procedures, whether the 'doctor' has any license let along a license for plastic surgery, and whether it has the proper equipment and medical knowledge/expertise for any emergencies. 

Perhaps it was not mentioned because the clinic has a license to perform such procedures, the doctor has a license and a license for plastic surgery and has the proper equipment and medical knowledge/expertise for any emergencies?

The clinic says it was not their fault, she had an unexpected heart attack

obvious, at age 21

Far from unheard of for young people to have undiagnosed heart problems.

The OP addressed that (but they're only illegal if they're in use)...

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Not one person ( other than in trials ) has been vaccinated yet and 8 billion to go.

 

Don't panic, no carts have been put before any horses.  This is just a question posed by The Thaiger, it's not a policy that has been implemented and the introduction of such a potential requirement has not even been suggested by those who could do so.

There is an old car, I would say about 30 years old, and it's owner passed away a few years ago. Where can we dispose it? Is there a junkyard around Bangkok that would take this car?

 

When we dispose this car, would they care about the car's registration? because it is of course still under deceased owner's name

 

Thanks

Are you the owner?  If you are not, can you dispose of it, regardless of whether it's junk?    Someone, or some agency, must own it, or be responsible for it. 

Third parties cannot just decide to dispose of a deceased person's possessions.

They have been doing nightly rentals for years, so they do have a hotel license.  

Maybe they do have that licence bit she specifically did not want a "hotel" and SSV services are only available for registered guests, not the general public for a fee.  From their website (and my knowledge of living there)...

"Remark: All service & facilities are reserved for only apartment guests".

A baggage charge is open to interpretation

No, it isn't, there are specified sizes and charges, no interpretation need come into it.

There is a small rooftop pool at the Sathorn Saint Hotel, I think 100-150 for a day of pool use.  About 300m behind St Louis.  There is a path that goes there next to the Family Mart at Surasak, but look at GPS.  Not the Hilton by any stretch, but it has a good vibe.  Great garden up there, and panoramic views.

It's a serviced apartment, not a hotel and it's called Sathorn Saint View.

"What's is up with Subarus pricing?"

The website also states this under the published prices...

"Recommended retail price only the car   Options and accessories are not included. The company reserves the right to change terms and conditions without prior notice".

Or perhaps the dealer that you went to just did not have basic models in stock to offer?

Nationalities and names of the supposed companies would be nice.  Names of the new Hotels being built or that have been purchased, which Tour Package operations, which Zero Dollar Tour Bus companies?  The news report leaves so many unanswered questions that could have been answered instead of just saying 5 Juristic entities.  If they are Juristic entities, who are the Thai's that set these companies in motion, how much was the bribe paid, are the Thai individuals connected, and better yet will there be more reporting on this or will it just fade away due to connections and money paid to make it go away.

When they've been confirmed as acting illegally presumably they will be identified publicly, until then there's no reason to make details public... 

"A probe by the Department of Business Development has turned up five juristic entities suspected of using local nominees to illegally help foreigners invest in Thailand this year ... The department has forwarded its findings for further investigation by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI)".

And you don't think that it will ever increase or be abused? Once that "extras" door is opened it is hard to close it when you find what's behind it. What about the 50 Baht Airport charge? Why doesn't that cover it?

You mean that extra B50 airport fee that's never been increased or abused?  I don't know why the B50 doesn't cover it, I didn't make the rules but it's still only B20!  Let us know when you experience it being increased or abused.

Op is maybe confused about the report of luggage being charged by taxis, and read it as tax on his luggage.

That's B20, do you think that the OP thought that would count as being heavily taxed?...

"Is this classed as a computer, or will i be heavily taxed for it?"

This sounds like the perfect way to confuse and further rip off tourists.

 

Of course it doesn't affect Thai because they don't fly domestically.  haha

 

Governments world wide pass these bogus taxes they claim don't hurt locals, but of course it does both directly and indirectly as it pi__es off tourists.

Do Thai citizens not get taxis to and from the airports in normal times?

Apart from all the obvious criticisms already mentioned of this nonsensical scheme here’s another one.  ...taxi drivers who don,t want to go to the airport because the customer doesn’t have enough baggage to charge the extra fees.  INCREDULOUS  STUPIDITY!!

Only in your imagination, unless you have an example.

Another Thai rip off

What's the (B20!) "rip-off", everyone has been advised through public announcements, haven't they?

Why all the chit chat ?

 

GRAB TAXI.... Done!

From the airports?

You know Grab Taxis are taxis and taxis are now allowed to charge B20 for larger items of luggage, there's been no announcement of exemptions for taxis called through Grab, has there?

This is ridiculous, whoever created this idea should get beaten. It is just like we go to eat in a restaurant, they charge us using the spoons and forks

That is ridiculous.  Being provided with cutlery is normal and not subject to an extra charge in restaurants just as being provided with a seat and mobility from pickup to destination isn't charged extra in taxis.

Perhaps there would be a corollary if you went into that restaurant with luggage and asked the waiter to carry it all, store it safely and return it to you outside the restaurant after you'd finished your meal.

When you know that in Thailand there is a Minister who was in Australia Prison for drug Export.Import you will never be shocked about this new Form of Cheating

I can't see it but maybe you could you point out the "cheating" part of public announcements advising potential airport taxi passengers only that there may be an officially sanctioned baggage charge of B20 for certain sizes of luggage?

For Don Meugn airport, Tell the driver you want to go to the Amari Hotel, since it is a hotel and not an airport they cannot charge you. then walk across the skyway to the airport 

then on your return, walk across the skyway to the Amari hotel and since it is not the airport there should be no charge 

Wow, it's only B20 per bag, you know.

If taxis can charge this, why is it trains and busses cannot?

Maybe they haven't asked for it.  The trains and buses aren't owned or rented by the drivers as the taxi are.
