people are simply crazy driving any motorbike in thailand without a national / state full mc licence by test (swiftly obtaining thai MC Licence) WITH substantial riding experience or at least intensive mc defensive driving course plus Test Licence. road death statistics (75% moped riders) inform this country is the Top Tier for foreigner skill / experience BEFORE taking a mc on the roads. your bike handling/ reactions/ confidence/ observation / anticipation MUST ideally ALL be top notch if you are not to join those stats……. otherwise you are the equivalent of a national guardsman ( tier 4)operating in a seal team ( tier 2), which of course would never happen.

that document, in thai language format, is completely useless. forget about it. MOPH Vax Cert, in intl. english format, with QR Code, should be accepted (if requested) everywhere.

SURVEY: Will opening up result in more Covid cases?
WhiteBuffaloATM replied to Scott's topic in Thailand News
“Cases” were only ever relevant with centralized systematic test -trace- isolate programs in small advanced countries, generating accurate statistical projections & sound mathematical conclusions to inform govt. anti-covid measures. S. Korea/ England / Sweden / Netherlands examples. Case figures in third world countries are near useless by comparison. -
Agent has done a runner

tingtong: thats seems incredible. not a commercial rent. good information btw. but how is that economic for owner. unless you are a friend/ housesitter/security guard to keep the place clean and deter squatters & burglars ? more economic to sell surely? thais intending to pass on to their family when dead perhaps ? I’ m a Phuket West Coaster myself. Done with City Living. But your place sounds ideal for you ! -

5k. a month. says it all really. wont even ask what or where you get for that. but you seem settled & happy there. which is all that matters for a home really. so thats the deal of the century then. less than my 7k Common Fund ! you can own leasehold or with thai company. but not economic at that level …… -

must be a damn clever agent to get building access, past security, acquire 25 sets of unique apt. keys & unique utility bills, without owner keys handover and make 25 contracts…. and fool all those Tenants ……all without Owner knowledge…. or knowledge of “ real” Owner Agent ( there must have beenone) …..MI6 Agent level…..wasted in the renting business. of course basic rental contract practices & law apply. non- resident Owners of multiple condos will nearly always typically & legally appoint agents. OP doesn’t give sufficient detail so we are left to guess the blanks. -
How long after Sino/Astra can I get Pfizer/Moderna?
WhiteBuffaloATM replied to Neeranam's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
“Ask a qualified doctor”. yes, those GPs who constantly misdiagnose people who then die after being sent home with an aspirin or who know little about Nutrition, etc. best source in this case would Pfizer website surely. -

WhiteBuffaloATM replied to JRG23's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
“I will ask theGP if they can annotate my WHO yellow book” tried that. my designated thai public hospital would NOT. only MOPH Covid Vax Cert issued. -

What Hospital for Tinnitus treatments here in BKK ? . . .
WhiteBuffaloATM replied to oMega69's topic in Health and Medicine
always hated any loud continuous noise. felt instinctively unnatural & harmful. never tolerated.always got away from it fast. nightclubs, cinemas even rock concerts would be abandoned…… so far no hearing concerns… my problem was eyesight…. perfect sight until 18 then three years working under office fluorescent lighting mid 70’s made me shortsighted.glad to ditch the contacts & eyeglasses with the first available surgery early 90’s. -
My Dog Needs a New Car
WhiteBuffaloATM replied to HeijoshinCool's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
OP post is inconsistent & incomplete. Says dogs near beach will kill the puppy yet paints joyful joint beach scenes. And “new” vehicle irrelevant. -

My Dog Needs a New Car
WhiteBuffaloATM replied to HeijoshinCool's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
IQ or Reasoning Test, right ? or just having a laugh. I’ll play along over my coffee. puppy would need to be left inside enclosed vehicle while you are on the beach (or you stay inside vehicle too). then vehicle must be “new”. preferred beaches yards away from house. nothing makes any sense here. leave puppy locked inside house and carry on as before. there isn’t anyway you can enjoy these beaches with your puppy alongside, is there ? buy a new vehicle for other reasons you’re not telling us……we are not talking puppies here are we ? -

legally “property manager” = owner agent = owner. agent rental receipts = contractual payment. unclear why you are moving ? letters from owner ? notify owner you are staying there until your owed money / deposit worked off and money available for owner direct payment monthly in arrears. owner has changed contract unilaterally so can you. -
Mother still seeking justice for her son after 7 years
WhiteBuffaloATM replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
Surely there’s a GoFundMe for convicted Drug Traffickers roughed up by the law ? Or maybe not as zero uptake……Unclear how he was able to jump out of a moving cop car when restrained ?May have had some “help” with that I guess.Appears he did not serve any time then as disabled.Most medical bills covered under the 30 baht scheme it seems.And looks like his drug dealing career came to an abrupt halt. Full Article isn’t exactly Booker Prize stuff with lines like “ His mother is getting older every day”…….. -
Architect must produce Full House Plans, Specifications and BOM for his selected three builders to Common Form Quote for Fixed Price / Schedule/ Payment Stages. Architect will arrange Bid Q& A and Final Bids. Architect Should Select & Manage HIS Builder after Client Design & Price Approval.Do Not Change ANYTHING after Builder Contract Acceptance. Typical Price M2 Build Cost useful to determine that Best Bid aligned with Market.in case all three bids are High……but Architect must evaluate Quantities & Rates & Spec Compliance by Bid Line Item.
