An explosion from the vapour coming out from the tank as you fill the tank with fuel Why would petrol vapour just explode? Thousands of petrol stations throughout the country with thousands of pumps don't explode.

It has to do with limiting risk Risk from what?

Mobiles do not produce sparks.

I did not know that... It happens.

How come there aren't explosions every day from the millions of cars that do have their engines running when they pull up or drive away, then?

Why is that the case?

Police frequently do not attend road accidents.

No, there's no indication of that at all.

Why not? Rationally, I mean.

...depending on where he had stopped!

So he had been talking on the phone but he wasn't when he smashed into the pickup. If his girlfriend was still connected to the call and heard the crash the chances are that the call ended just seconds before the accident and that he had been using the phone while riding.

He might well be divorced but if he has five kids then he must have some ongoing legal responsibility for them. Thailand is definitely not the place where any kind of legitimate employment would produce enough remuneration to satisfy his own needs and his familial responsibilities back in the UK. Really? You know a lot about his personal circumstances and legal responsibilities, then, do you? Why not expand on them? "Thailand is definitely not the place where any kind of legitimate employment would produce enough remuneration to satisfy his own needs and his familial responsibilities back in the UK". No kind of legitimate employment for expats pays well in Thailand? Really? The many expats (and there's more to life in Thailand than Asean Now posters) who earn very good salaries here would disagree with that. How the duck could you ever know what "his needs" are?

that won't stop the sim or sd card being taken out Why would an an known customer's SIM be of any interest to Samsung and what are you suggesting about Samsung?

Why should anyone doubt that a Samsung Service centre would be able to replace a Samsung phone's battery? If they can't, who could?

Just lock it so that it cannot be turned on.

Or he could just make sure that it is locked!

American usage. Deal with it. Nonsensical American usage. Deal with it!

So you care. If you don't care, you "couldn't care less"!

Some people find bacon and eggs a much more attractive proposition for breakfast than fish!

Well, you sure made a good start with this OP!

Doesn't make any difference to anything, why the concern?

....are about as useful as DDs on a bull.???? Occasionally, yes.

All that relates to importing personal items, not purchasing new items overseas and having them shipped here, big difference.

Hamptons are, very obviously, the only ones to ask. Import duty is likely 20%, plus 7% VAT (CIF)... https://www.moneymgmnt.com/tax/minimising-customs-duty-import-tax-thailand/

Which shipping company are you quoting?
