How can I get a Thai Credit card or do I need it?
Yes, you can get a secured credit card from a Thai bank. Kasikorn offered me a credit card with a 50K baht limit, if I paid in a 100K security deposit. As it was explained to me, the security deposit does not earn interest, nor is it used to pay the accrued balance. The charges are separate and incur a 28% interest fee. What's not to like?

TAT Leverages Soft Power through Online Game
Really, TAT? Why is it always a "cunning plan"? Now you're going out of your way to specifically target TikkyTokkers and Youtubers, knowing they'll come to livestream the experience for clicks, knowing they'll be creating the most insane and dangerous and annoying performance art for their followers to like and share? This will end well..... Thailand - Hub of Ininsured Gofundme Beggers

Fatal U-turn on Road: 16-Year-Old Crashes into Car, 1 Dead, 2 Injured
Age doesn't matter. The bike was unlicensed so the law doesn't apply.

Naturalized Thai. DLT won't permit it.

Americans will need a visa to visit Europe starting in 2024. Here's what you should know. The European Union has introduced new travel requirements for Americans wishing to travel to 30 countries.
Sometimes they get it wrong. Thai immigration sometimes incorrectly refers to an extension of stay for purpose of retirement as a "retirement visa."

You are correct. My comment was based on the translated article above: Translating the original linked article:

Chonburi orders strict control over roaming Arab groups in the city
As I recall from Egypt, after a heavy rain traffic runs very slowly. Mostly due to drivers stopping at water-filled potholes to poke with sticks to see how deep they are.

Chonburi orders strict control over roaming Arab groups in the city
That doesn't make any sense. How will educating the public or requiring a valid license to rent a vehicle increase the number of expats on retirement visas needing to utilize the services of agents and corrupt officials?

Student abandons newborn after giving birth in petrol station during field trip
Confused somebody: Would you feel differently if it were the boyfriend who dumped a live human baby into a trash bin? Oh, the poor guy, hope he can overcome this?

Multiple motorcycles. That's worse than 3-up. We know how they behave in packs.

Mother? I don't think so. Attempted murderer perhaps.

90 day, cancel box checked, and Status says Pending?
What do you mean by red "check"? One of these ✔️ or one of these ❌? In Americanglish, ✔️ is a checkmark or tickmark, ❌ is an x. Once submitted, your status should be pending, and have one of these ❌, meaning click the red "check" if you want to cancel.

Lease not extended but I still live here 2.5 years later
Define "broken" and you may get better responses. Doesn't turn on at all? Runs but doesn't blow cold air? Leaks? Did you contact your landlord at any point over the past 3.5 years about the broken AC?

Some Help Required Please.
Press the power button and the default screen should come up showing all your apps. Pull down the dropdown menu, there may be a secondary notification at the bottom of that. Or...........you could try file transfer by bluetooth.

Some Help Required Please.
See if there are any hidden or secondary messages on the dropdown menu hiding on your smartyphone screen. When I connect mine using the USB cable, it defaults to charge mode. The hidden message lets me switch to use cable for data transfer, and can then access files on the phone like any disc drive.

Man Stabbed By Neighbour For Turning Off Wi-Fi
Nothing can be proven. There are a number of possible man-children that could be responsible. I can't just pick someone at random upon which to administer justice. I'm not Thai. I have a cat, dead. One bullet hole. Nobody's talking.

Need a strong plant killer!!! Need something dead. Dead. DEAD!!!
Glyphosphate. Available at any local market. Do not dilute. Cut off the main stem well above the ground surface. Use a small paintbrush to apply directly to the cut. If there are any stems/leaves below the cut, paint them also. For saplings and small trees, after you lop it, drill a few holes in the cut surface, then use a hypodermic syringe to squirt deeper inside.

On April 7th, you posted you'd be arriving in Thailand in 5 weeks, so middle of May. Things, Shirley, went downhill fast!

My Landlord Stop Me from Leaving the Country
You don't know "he was gonna take it anyway." That's what bad people say when they're trying to justify lying, cheating, or stealing. When you moved in you took photos and immediately notified the landlord, right? Right? Methinks 'twas the landlord getting bad vibes. When do we hear the rest of the story?
