Liverpool Lou

I also didn't say it was only 1 item but if you saw this story on the news and you saw the neckless that was left in the car( don't know if you ever saw a 5baht gold neckless) it looked like that neckless was already 5 baht . Having a bit of a bad day Lou?? I didn't attack you in any way just stated what i saw on the television news . Don't understand why you feel the need to defend yourself. "Having a bit of a bad day Lou?? I didn't attack you in any way just stated what i saw on the television news . Don't understand why you feel the need to defend yourself". 1. I had a great day. 2. I didn't say that you attacked me. 3. I was not "defending myself" because... 4. There was no reason for me to "defend myself". "...don't know if you ever saw a 5baht gold neckless..." [sic] Seen a 5 baht gold "neckless" what? Why would I never have seen a five baht gold necklace, they're hardly uncommon.

Thailand Post is safe to use if it's used properly. Expecting compensation in excess of that offered by EMS (B3,000 for documents or B7,000 for merchandise) is ridiculous. Accept the B7,000, you've been offered the maximum compensation that you paid for, it won't be increased. "Solid gold watch ... sold for B31,000". What watch?

You might want to make a video of that instruction and save it in three virtual places to protect your missus, because if I was a copper, it would look very suss to me, "You might want to make a video of that instruction" That wouldn't make any difference, she has no authority to remove any funds, never mind empty his accounts, after his death even if that may have been what he wanted. Accounts of deceased persons are frozen as soon as they die, any transactions after death are illegal until probate has been granted.

and try to get family to pay any outstanding amount Of course, that's what I was saying.

That would work for an account that can be accessed via ATM card. Well, it wouldn't work legally!

That advice could get her into a lot of trouble, it's theft/fraud.

Yes, a "countersunk" [sic] will obviates the need for notarisation every time!

There's always an exception to any rule but I certainly wouldn't count on it. "There's always an exception to any rule but I certainly wouldn't count on it". Note that "Embassy authorisation was required to move the body from the hospital", that should always be the case, legally, to ensure that only authorised persons do that.

"...he/she has the control of finances" ...only until the donor's death when all POAs terminate.

The hospital informs the police of a foreigner's death, the police inform his embassy.

Nonsense. POAs terminate on the donor's death. Executors control the distribution of the estate.

Very strange considering that when a foreigner dies here death certificates are issued by the Thai authorities, not embassies. Thai local authorities do need a Consular Letter from the embassy, though, before they release the body for burial, cremation or repatriation. The next of kin must provide proof they are related to the person that died and inform the embassy in writing who they have requested to make the arrangements. If someone other than the next of kin is making the arrangements, they need to provide a copy of their passport and Thai ID before the Consular Letter can be issued.

That would happen automatically when a foreigner dies here.

If the hospital will release his body to his friends, of course they could.

It's the hospital's problem, then, but, as his embassy would obviously be informed of his death, they'd step in to contact any family and liaise with the hospital.

Your "experience" is wrong. When the principal dies the POA ends. Maybe you're confusing a POA with the executor of the deceased estate, two very different things. The executor of the estate (not that "your friend" seems to have anything in his estate) would be responsible for the distribution of any assets and the payment of any bills that were due from his assets.

Not "likely terminated", POAs are terminated on the principal's death.

Soi 23's a very long soi, much more to it than Cowboy but, you could be right, maybe he did have one "pant" [sic] down.

The article said that she stole five baht weight of gold, two chains were left in the car , some was missing, it didn't say that it was just one item that was stolen.

Geez., there you go again "most likely it was to buy drugs". Why is that the most likely scenario?

Wear three masks, a face shield and full PPE, it's the only way. Why not do what you've been doing for the past year when you leave your home? You're still alive, aren't you, what's the issue with going to a hospital? What did you do when you had to go to get the vaccination when you hadn't yet had the first one?

That explains it, you kept that rather relevant part quiet!

From which country? Edit: Never mind, just seen that you were expecting to get away with presenting a prehistoric UK licence. If you've still got that it may be an idea to exchange it for a current photo licence.

Window tint is not "dangerous", it depends on the darkness of the tint that the individual chooses. Window tint in Thailand is not illegal, regardless of the percentage tint.

And I expect anything to the contrary is also speculative. Do you deny he was driving far too fast? Do you deny he was driving without due attention? Why might that be? No, I did not say any of that but you did say, bizarrely speculatively that he was probably "showing off for the girls! My not saying that he was showing off is not speculative in any way.
