Interesting, I felt more in danger from other motorcycle drivers than I did from other cars while driving my big bike.

That dog won't hunt

He should be out on bail until he dies of old age, it's nice to be rich.

Create more chaos in the immigration process, as if there wasn't enough already 🤬

If it also did away with the TM30 when arriving back in country after a trip it would be more appreciated.

I'd be ok with having my name applied to the number, but I don't want any bills in my name. The SCB account is the only thing I want in my name here in Thailand, in fact, if I didn't have to have a bank account for immigrant purposes, I wouldnt have that either.

Drone laws here aren't worth the effort to have one, maybe for Thai's, but not worth the effort for farangs.

Yikes! 😬

Not always, in my case my account is registered with my Pink ID details. SCB didn't seem to care that I got a new passport, thought I had to update them with the new passport number, but they said no need.

Or avoid it all together and use your Pink ID 😉

I assume they pay less in than us American's, we pay in 12.4% of our pay to the US government Ponzi scheme.

Which is why I'll just wait it out, not super concerned, I mainly use my wife's Credit Card for everything, she wants the points. I use SCB mainly for little items from Lazada, some QR code payments on the street, and for immigration. I could live without it for a short time if needed. In a pinch I could use my Wise debit card too, so no biggie. SCB bank and True didn't seem to be too concerned, so why should I?

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?

Still haven't gotten any warning from SCB bank, and my wife contacted True and they told her not to worry if the number was registered before a few years ago. The number is registered in my wife's name. Have had this sim/number on my phone for probably 7-8 years now. We got it as part of our True cable and internet package. I'm just going to wait it out, not worth stressing out over.

The Vietnamese will get the quality Chinese tourists, Thailand will get the Chinese scammers and criminals, as Thailand is openly corrupt and easy pickings for the international criminals to exploit. The lack of enforcement of laws/rules/regulations here in Thailand makes it a goldmine for criminals from all over the World.

If this building was constructed on schedule, there might be thousands of dead government workers right now, talk about dodging a bullet.

Yeah, he's like a saint, I'm just waiting for them to erect a statue, the Maryland Man statue.

Let them rot in an El Salvador prison, they are where they should be, home.

I literally do everything in my power to avoid driving in Thailand, so the food delivery apps can be a Godsend.

Maybe they can base it off the new point system, those with no infractions or accidents can renew online every 10 years (Upload photo?). Those with infractions or at-fault accidents will be notified to renew in-person, and be required to retest as well.

Yeah, good luck with that explanation, but then again the RTP can be encouraged to support this fabrication. Nothing that a thick brown envelope can't fix.

Seems like another scheme subject to corruption, everyone will be getting a license without ever being physically checked or evaluated in anyway. Though it should excite those who can make a few extra Baht getting the blind a driver license.

Don't forget a 5th charge, as his license expired in 2021, which means technically he is an unlicensed driver, and would have to take the driving license testing all over again as it is way past the 1 year grace period for renewal. He may also end up with a 6th charge for speeding through the toll booths, that speed was another factor in the initial incident.

I usually avoid steak, unless I get the perfect piece cooked to perfection, otherwise I would just rather not eat it.

Has anyone got any more information on this Lopez-Gomez person? The mother waved a birth certificate in court like it was the Holy Grail, but he has lived since he was 1 yr old until his 16-17 birthday in Mexico. Does he hold a US Passport for his time in Mexico? Did he have a Mexican passport? What ID did he use to cross back into the USA? I am sure this played into what happen, but as usual we get only the sob story part. This is more a reason than any to update US citizen ID's, birth certs and SS numbers are ancient, and open to fraud. One thing I applaud Thailand for is how they handle it here, my daughter at 7 yrs old gets a Thai ID with photo and fingerprint info stored to backup her claim.
