"Several Indian tourists, were shocked".

There were probably just Indians strolling around in large groups.

I mean seriously, If you had that view would you want to go to Thailand ? 

Is this Liverpool?

Easy solution to slow down the traffic at a zebra crossing.

At each crossing put the following:

Someone selling lottery tickets,

Someone selling somtum,

Someone offering some weed,

A lady of the night.

Problem solved.

15 people on the back of a pick up is not illegal, isn't it. 

But probably too much work.

Don't tell this to Putinski.

Before he goes into an argument, he probably falls asleep.

Most banks in Thailand, you just can transfer up to 50k baht in, in one go (unless you use one of the 3 or 4, which allow higher transfers).

Monday, I paid international school fees. As recipient, directly the school and not first to me in Thailand and then to school account.

Was well over 200k. Money was send without any problem, in one go and credited to school almost immediately.

Why can't we transfer to ourselves over 50k and when we pay others, there's no limit (apparently).

It always seems that someone just speeds up when seeing someone on a zebra crossing.

I would like to see a survey of how many thais actually know the meaning of it.

China and their president in full panic. People are starting to demonstrate.
Don't see any crowds of Chinese travelling soon.

I expect you'll be told that you are a troll who is making up stories to increase your post count.

Funny.
Why would I do this?

I was checked last year and only after making a call to friend/police in BKK, the control was quickly over.

Has your daughter been out of the country since her previous report?

No

I always use the same information.
Address has not changed.
Usually it goes very well and approved quickly.

My date calculator says that the report was due on November 22nd.

What date does the receipt for the report done in August have on it?

The received notification on 16/11 at 10:54

I just checked again. Due on 21/11

Yup, agreed...  Hotels don’t seem to care if its an ID (Pink - not sure about DL etc) or a Passport these days... perhaps that will change with another ‘crack-down’....

 

Over the past year at least I’ve got the impression anything with your name on it is good enough !

 

 

I always check in with my DL

Hence why I said 'BS'. They're very unlikely to ask for something that will make them lose face. I've told you this before.

Never in my 50+ years of travelling the world has any copper in whatever country ever asked me for my passport. May be they can judge a person on appearance?

I was asked, last week.

Lovely

My daughter's last 90 days was done online on 25th August and quickly approved.
Did the report online again on the 16Th November but was always pending.

On 23rd of Nov, did it again and was also pending.
Today, I got a "rejected".

Lovely, isn't it.  Now is too late to do it again or to send by post.

What losers they are. It's a constant lottery with them.

UPDATE: Was sent approval at 19.00 on Friday 25/11 following online submission on 21/11 (Bangkok Division). So a slight backlog which they seem to be getting through. 

My daughter's still pending.

I know why.

They were trying to impress the girls with some fancy cars.
9 guys fighting over 3 girls.

The dogs (9 male and 3 female)

BritmanToo (btw, where is he? Very quiet lately), he has a special department for his "condom" collection.

I saw a new BYD a few days ago, whilst in Pattaya. They are building a new showroom on Sukhumvit.

Very strange behaviour from the BiB - it seems the Police in Pattaya (and Phuket) have this strange attitude towards foreigners that we are all potential criminals or something. 

They were targeting foreigners.

I'd be very interested in the ‘why’... there may have been a logic..  I’d just be very curious to know why I was stopped etc...   usually they just say something like ‘big boss say’.. .but that doesnt answer the question...  I want to know whats going on in their heads.. 

He didn't speak a word of english. Not interested in my car documents. Wanted my passport and me out of the car. Wanted to take my phone to look for passport photo himself. Told him to not touch my phone and to give me some privacy. Later took photo of my passport and visa picture. Insisted to take a photo of me, in front of my car.

The 'phone a friend option’ can be very useful.... I don’t like to use it and always try to sort out any issue directly myself - but a couple of times the past I’ve had to resort to the 'phone a friend option’ which resolves a simple issue very quickly...

 

Yes, he didn't like it. No call he said.
I did call, phone was ringing and the other end accepted the call.
Investigation was quickly over.

Wow… seems like an open season on Chinese! Seems like cops are getting desperate for lack of them brown envelopes. 

And China in lockdown again as yesterday was the biggest daily increase in Covid.
