Or the RAC.

What?

As a general rule, that's nonsense.

How do you know?

Obviously, yes, it applies to all foreigners, not just "farangs", as you put it. There are no countries that do not require confirmed passport ID when a foreigner is opening a bank account.

Why be so self-critical of your IQ and education?

Perhaps you should be asking the Australian embassy as whatever they say will override any anonymous AN opinions.

Had she used the seat belt she would probably been strapped to the seat. Regarding the phone, very many drivers use their phones while driving. ...yes, and still with a broken neck and trapped under the crushed, overturned car from which she had to be cut out. How would wearing a seat belt have helped her in this multi-rollover accident?

My brother in law in the UK abused my niece from the age of 8 before running off to Australia after the cops interviewed him. Her mother, my sister did not know but his wife did. So what? What's the relevance of your dirty old brother and his complicit wife to my comment about this child's mother who was not, apparently, in on it?

...and he'll pay a small overstay charge, there will be no other consequences worse than that.

Having a two day overstay and sorting it when leaving Suvarnabhumi will never be an issue regardless of how bad a day any IO may be having.

Bit late for that in the OP's case!

Bit late for that warning as he appears to be a serial overstayer going back several years with spurious "medical" excuses (Immigration has procedures to cover genuine medical reasons that do not result in overstays).

Where did it state that she wasn't wearing a seat belt? Where did it state that she was using her phone?

That's even more ridiculous, what do you base that on? The mother was there, she lived in the house with the family and there was no suggestion that she was a stoner.

totally agree ..... she sounds like a nasty piece of work .... she knew this was going on for years and did nothing. Nonsense, read the full article properly, she was not aware of the abuse until she was told by her sister after the child confided in her.

The child will have her mother, grandmother and aunts, she will not be without parental support. The only one who will not be there will be the rapist uncle.

So the mother was aware it was gaing on all this time and did nothing. No, that was not what was reported. The mother reported that, after the story came out, her daughter had been abused since the age of eight, it did not state that she had been aware of it for those years.

"...I used my DL to get the residence certificate..." From which Immigration office?

The rule has been IDP is valid for 3 months constant single use . Whether the police check , or know , is another point. A UK IDP is still £5.50 , but now has a 3 year life. What? What has that got to do with some poster's claim that the foreign driving licence rules in Thailand have been constantly changing?

Huh? How has the content of the Thai driving test been "constantly changing"?

The thing is it can be inaccurate but the rules are constantly changing here in Thailand. In the context of my comment that you responded to, what rules have been "constantly changed"?

Only the online website access, Easy Net, is being discontinued, nothing to do with the phone app and nothing to do with the staff not knowing what's going on, it's you that doesn't know that, and nothing to do with keeping the workers in the dark, either.

...maybe that's true but it is something that the authorities never check on. Many people, myself included in the past, have used their foreign licence long term with no issues including insurance claims. If an insurer will issue a policy based on the applicant having a valid foreign licence there probably wont be any claims issues.

But, tediously, consistently inaccurate information continues to be promulgated about it!
