Landlord is subject to a fine if TM30 not submitted within 24 hours of foreigner residing at property. "Under the notification, there will still be a duty for landlords or hotel owners to submit a T.M.30 form to an immigration office within 24 hours of a foreign national staying at their premises." https://www.tilleke.com/insights/thailand-relax-rules-tm30-immigration-requirements/

Just make sure the lease and TM30 are dated for the same day as submitted, as supposed to be submitted with 24hrs, unless ruled changed.

Avoiding a fine when going to renew / extend visa.

I did a search, as I was going to post, ultrasound should spot, BUT, surprisingly, apparently easily missed by ultrasound.

MRIs are amazing tool, for the doc to see what & where to slice & dice before opening you up. Had quite a few to diagnose and track the progression of a few herniated and degenerative discs, with 2 needing a patch up. BUT, you do need to know where & what you are looking for. If indiscriminately scanning, then yes, a scam for profits.

There is Pasak Chonlasit, a rather huge lake nearby, which may or may not have been a better place to land, depending on his swimming ability. Avoid that tree, if that's a photo of his landing.

MRI would help pinpoint the problem, if possible, and know where to look. BUT ... you actually need to know where to look with an MRI. Using MRI to scan your body looking for something would be very expensive, unless very lucky. MRI used for in depth scanning, once knowing where to look, problem already identified, not to find something unknown.

Agree also. We've actually been out & about during the 'situation', more than before, since the lack of tourist, make tourist destinations quite enjoyable. Went to Ao Nang, Phuket during high season, which we would usually never would do, as off season is actually a bit too crowded for us, the past 10 years, anyway. It was lovely seeing those destinations without millions of tourist. Less than 10 people on the beaches, simply amazing. Self driving around the country without the tour buses and vans, pure heaven.

I used to get a 'tin' of Thai sticks sent to me back in the 70s. Vaccum sealed, well, almost, and opened like a can of sardines, though much larger. Some 'groovy' stuff man. It wasn't the THC content that made the stix excellent. That is and always will be mediocre, compared to Maui Waui, or new current bud harvests.

Being you are asking, that would yes, you need, should be inexpensive. Due diligence if anything owed ... just a guess, but as I yank, I would think he means a title / deed search for outstanding debts, loans against, anything (called clouds in USA) that the property was used as collateral for a loan, and or any judgements against the property. Unless you are fluent (reading) Thai, then a lawyer is a good idea. Thai is the only binding contract language accepted.

If legal gov't provided, guessing the 'high' was removed or too low to matter, no matter what it is labelled as. That you knew what to expect, and didn't get, sort of proves that. Or expired as THC has a shelf life of 2 yrs, or so I read somewhere way back when.

Yes, from an experienced stoner, as others have stated, there would be some effect. If you've never known the effect, you would have no reference. If crappy ganga, the effect would be minimal, and depending on one's expectations, may think 'what the hell was that, and where's the buzz'. Thinking and expecting some mind blowing experience, and being extremely let down. Only the very best, gives the hollywood version of being stoned portrayed in movies. But any scripted medicine would probably have the 'high inducing "THC" chemical' part of the ganga removed. Not only for the sake of people not buying stronger legal drugs, but for the sake of a stoners operating a vehicle and suing the docs & pharma company if in an accident.

Agree, and the officer was fired, as 'should have known better' and actually against his department's 'policy'. Looking at the vid, he could have easily just caught up to him and toppled his wheelchair. Don't mind that the 'victim' is no longer with us, but not the officer's place to pass that type of judgement. 9 shots is obviously a death sentence.

Not sure about Phuket, urban areas, but when out & about, first thing I look for, green areas for the dog, and in metro areas, there is usually little to none to be found. Why emphasis on a rental with a yard. And most parks don't allow pets....just soi dogs ... ????

No argument, you're simply wrong. As a past stoner myself, if you had THC or especially oil, you'd definitely feel it. I had more than my share of all versions, and even the c r a p p i est had some effect.

I'm not on Phuket, and located in Prachuap Khiri Khan province (not Hua Hin). I say not pet friendly, as maybe 1 in 10 allowed pets when looking for a rental. Hotels are even worse, with most, pets not allowed, or pocket book pets. When out & about, I can be a challenge finding accommodations. Some that do take pets, charge a pet fee alone, that is more than other hotel fees ???? National parks usually ban pets, though not strictly enforces many times. Depending on the park. Warning for the obvious, NEVER LEAVE A PET IN A VEHICLE. They heat up so fast here, a mere 15 minutes, and your car's interior can hit 60C easily. Just look around town, and you shouldn't have any real problem finding pet friendly rental. Ibis hotels are pet friendly, though only up to 10 kgs, and no pet charge. Usually not the best value or location, small rooms, but damn comfy beds. Good fall back hotel if not able to find anything else.

Added note to my post, allowing and not cleaning up after her at surfside ... NO, I would not let her do her business on a swimmer's beach, assuming crowded, or if so, bury deeper than simple foot scoop and knock in with quick 'shallow' grave cover. That would be very rude. Locally where I take her, people rarely swim in, or sit on, as just not that kind of beach, and more just for viewing from the seawall. From 'Nemo' movie, 'all drains lead to the sea', and the bay is polluted enough with black water, actually quite disgusting, as I noted earlier on the southern end of the surfside. Nobody walks in the sand there.

NO ... you can NOT fly drone without registration. https://www.huahintoday.com/hua-hin-news/drone-users-in-hua-hin-urged-to-register-their-devices/

Hmm ... just read another (conflicting) new-blip, state 39.5+ mill have received both shots, so 79+ million doses, and 46+ million have received their 1st shot. 79+46=125 million doses vs 93.5 in OP's news-blip. Oh yea, throw in 3 million receiving booster. Even though, it stated 88.87 million doses administered so far. Think someone's calculator needs new batteries. https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1518436/thailands-combo-jabs-keeping-covid-19-numbers-low-says-govt-spokesman

Running the #s, 72% or 93.5 million, is 67.32 mill getting 1st shot (finding hard to believe) meaning most of Thai population had 1 shot. Leaves 26 million doses, meaning only 13 million are fully vax'd, and more believable. Krung Thep metro alone has an 8+ million population. Or 72% of population (50 ish million) have had 1 shot, leaving 43 mill doses for 21 ish million fully vaccinated. Think something lost in translation myself...or not. Hopefully the latter, for those wanting.

Only if you're vax'd. No sale from me, ???? and I'm a sucker for an expo, and always in the market. Oh well...they do know how to limit their customer base. https://www.motorexpo.co.th/covid-manual-audience/

Spotted this while knockin' around Emporium mall today. Full line of bikes on display, and offered a 10% discount while checking it out and reading the specs, which were just a bit lacking. But damn, it looked nice. https://www.vstecs.co.th/thomas/thomas-s2000.html

Having a dog, fuzzy Jack Russel, I've noticed Thailand is not pet friendly. As with anywhere worldwide, simply find a rental that is pet friendly, with a yard preferably. Simple enough, and anywhere on the island is good. UP2U where you want to be. The dog won't mind your choice...hopefully.

Another victim, a great loss to society ... After brandishing a knife and telling the off duty officer "if want me to put the knife down, you'll have to shoot me" ... as he was attempting to enter a DIY store. A saint, only his mother will mourn: "Richards' has a long criminal history going back to the 80s. According to court records, he was sentenced to 10 years in 2007 for first-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault and resisting arrest for crimes that took place in the 90s. Records show he was released in 2018 but then was jailed again in 2019 for "transporting illegal aliens for profit" after being stopped by Border Patrol in Nogales." https://www.kvoa.com/news/n4t-investigators-criminal-background-richard-lee-richards/article_b56f4ecc-523e-11ec-9e5b-cbc1e7efd6ef.html Geez ... did a 10 year stretch, and went right back to being a criminal, trafficking people ...

With that thinking, then absolutely nothing is credible. Which is where I usually start, then pick things apart with what I learned before information was completely controlled, and throw in a little common sense, and that has served me well.
