Some points 1) If the motorbike driver had no licence, then he should not have been driving and the accident would not have happened 2) Why was he driving in the 3rd outer carriageway, when not planning to U turn, and should have been in one of the inside lanes? 3) I believe the compulsory insurance pays medical expenses of up to 80,000bt per person, whether or not the driver has a licence. If no compulsory insurance, then that's another matter..A third party (the car driver &/or Roojai) should not have to pay for their negligence

Every one of the 2,957 drink-driving cases should have a minimum 1 year driving ban (scaled up dependent on the blood/alcohol level) and more when an accident is involved. PLUS of course a hefty fine, with imprisonment warranted in some cases.

Rules are rules, laws are laws. Truly hefty punishments needed for EVERYBODY breaking the law, whether it be speeding. no helmets, under the influence of drink and drugs or whatever. Imprisonment, 1 year, 5 year or lifetime driving bans come to mind.

Apparently the roads in the Prakhonchai area are somewhat congested with locals escaping from the border area

Could hear artillery fire form 7am to 7.30 here in Prakhonchai, some 50kms away

I've had a couple of "good Indians", but not in Pattaya🤩

You drink, you don't drive. SIMPLE! if you do not obey, minimum 1 year behind PRISON BARS!

OK So now can buy and drink between 2pm and 5pm, so its continuous from 11am BUT one cannot buy alcohol in supermarkets before 11am (Makro excepted 10 litres with an alcohol sales licence) Many many folk want to buy alcohol to take home early morning when doing their shopping, but must return at 11am to restock for home use!

He should never have been deported until he served his sentence-IN FULL And as for a 12 month prison sentence, for sexual abuse of a child - what was the Judge thinking of. Sexual abuse of a child warrants a death sentence, and in its absence a WHOLE LIFE sentence with no perks whatsoever!

Recent answers to my question of yesterday have centred on the need for a passport or other ID required by Thai Banks. My basic question - in the PR thread - was whether when having PR, it was a legal requirement to have an overseas passport when there is no intention of leaving Thailand. There are all sorts of ways of dealing with bank ID requirements

I have had Permanent residence for over 35 years. Always update my Alien book every 5 years Had to obtain a new PR book in Bangkok some years ago as the original was full with stamps Until recently I made many overseas trips, and both my passport and PR book needed to have stamps and re-entry permits Now I am unlikely to be making any more overseas trips (Old age). I have heard but not seen written anywhere, that holders of PR do not need valid passports. Can anyone advise/confirm this? Would a PR book be deemed sufficient by banks, the Police if stopped at a road check, or even immigration themselves, should they come calling??

Dissolve the house after 4 months..............end of January but another 3 months before an election is held???????????? Something wrong there!

Surely, he was only following Doctor's orders.

Tomorrow, I believe

If he departed Dubai at 11.45 Thai time yesterday, he would surely have arrrived by now if Thailand was his destination

New elections in 4 months...........................only if Anutin does not renege the agreement with PP

Time for a new election.

Occupational pensions are the only likely possibiity. Paid to wives, and usually to partners (subject to adequate proof and evidence of a relationship). Note however some occupational pension funds reduce the pension when the wife/partner is more than 10/12 years younger. In addition many pension funds cease pension payment if the wife/partner cohabits or marries.

https://www.nationthailand.com/news/asean/40053098 The Second Army Area has issued a warning to the public regarding the threat of Cambodia potentially launching PHL-03 multiple rocket missiles, capable of reaching up to 130 kilometres. The likely targets are strategic military zones and installations.

I am one of the lucky ones who has a lifetime licence. Always amuses me whenever I am asked to produce my licence at a roadside police check. I can almost read the Police minds. How does this farang b***tard, have a lifetime licence and mine is only for 5 years😁

Most UK occupational pension funds will pay a pension to a partner, akin to a widow's pension. Best to advise them early on of the partner. It can be quite a problem proving a partnership existed after death. Note many pension funds reduce the pension paid to wife/partner if she is more than 10 years younger. Often 2.5% for each year over 10

sorry mate Prayers will do <deleted> all good!

All rape, especially child rape and sexual abuse warrants an immediate death sentence (provided there is undoubtable pruof)

I have assisted several Thai widows of British expats. They all receive the Personal Tax Allowance (currently £12,570), and this is sorted by the former employer of husband when paying the widow's pension. No need ever to deal direct with HMRC re the allowance However, depending on the date of death of the husband, a tax refund can be claimed (sometimes automatic after a year or so has elapsed) Note that the UK state pension ceases upon death. There are no longer any benefits for widows or children, nor the one off lump sum payment (was £2,000).................unless husband and family happened to be in the UK at time of death

Have heard today that Ban Amphur PO Pattaya will no longer accept basic Air Mail for Letters., They require registered post at 250bt+. Is this something new or just this particular post office being bloody minded?
