CNG and LPG vehicles face crackdown after tragic school bus fire
AustinRacing replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
What a great opportunity for DLT inspectors to double up. An envelope for the regular bi-annual check. And now a bonus payment for this extraordinary inspection. Christmas came early. -
If this bothers you, you may be in the wrong country.

Could do with some support and advice here ?
AustinRacing replied to The Cobra's topic in Marriage and Divorce
Based on the little information provided, the op does not mention his shortcomings and seems to attribute all issues to her shortcomings. It also seems that she is in it for the convenience/dependence. She’s waiting for something better to come along and trade up. This is a too common scenario with older farangs dating younger Thais thinking they’re doing a good thing taking care of a woman, helping out etc. But they fail to recognize their own flaws. It’s rare for a relationship with 20 year age gap to be based on genuine and mutual affection to one and other. -

In other countries the transport minister would be held responsible but here the guy makes a grandiose statement such as this believing he’s fantastic. Shameful. -
Down under or Thai? Aussie mum trades Oz for Land of Smiles
AustinRacing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It’s possible that after 12 months the husband runs off with a 22 year old bar girl who squeezed most of his share of the divorce then left him because he ran out of money. The woman has no friends, language barrier, smell, dirty environments and farangs, locals scamming her, kids nagging wanting to go home, makes her pack it up, leavoing the 65 year old farang butterfly boyfriend, renting a 1 bedroom flat in Penrith. -
Advisor Urges Public Not to Criticise PM Paetongtarn for using iPad
AustinRacing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Very risky. What if the iPad blew up? On a related matter, the guy implies domestic speeches carry less weight. No? -
Fast tracking inspection via payment is not a problem. Many services offer speedy delivery everywhere in the world. The issue is turning a blind eye meaning issuing permits without inspection. So the bus companies claiming extra payments telling only half the story and partially throwing the officials under the bus. Therefore they and the inspectors are both culpable for doing the illegal mods and getting them passed, respectively.

Paetongtarn Shinawatra Named in TIME-100 Next Influential List

Maybe they meant to say TIKTOK influencer. -
What nonesense. You entered an intersection not knowing if you can exit in time. Maybe being in Thailand too long, ie, not thinking ahead. There should be additional fines for blocking traffic.

Prime Minister in Tears Over Tragic Bangkok School Bus Fire
AustinRacing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That’s BS. she’s supposed to be the country’s leader. It’s part of her job to address significant events. I believe sympathy is a more appropriate word than empathy. -
Since nobody knows the algorithm used for accepting/refusing applications or the mind of the interviewer it’s impossible to know. Based on my friends experiences a woman traveling alone to meet her partner in USA is generally a red flag no matter her circumstances. That’s not to say she’ll be rejected, but scrutinized more. Being a long term employee is more favorable than own business since you can get someone to run the business for you. You living in USA, if the case, may work against you since it can be seen as an incentive for her to remain in USA permanently. Having said that, it’s worth the try applying. Just make sure you do it properly because if she’s rejected, it may get harder to get favorable outcome without changes of circumstances. Good luck.
