You forgot to mention, drive with Dashcams (Front/Back) they will save you a ton of trouble dealing with Thai drivers who after breaking the road rules and smashing into you, will lie through their teeth.

Saw an article about what these guys are doing, they register another cheaper road bike (sometimes same brand bike), then use the plates on the ATV. Obviously totally illegal, but Thais love breaking laws, and there isn't much, or any, enforcement.

For good reason, they are highly unstable, and depending on what kind of rear differential, they could refuse to turn properly on asphalt or cement.

I'm with you on the uncertainty, always waiting for the other shoe to drop while here, it's annoying. I was thinking about opening a worldwide bank account, but think they want you to lockup $250,000 or more for balance requirements.

Nope, they are in a military jail, they are enemy combatants not in any military uniforms (aka Terrorists), they deserve no rights or quarter.

Are ATV's even legal to drive on Thai roads?

My CapitalOne account, Amazon, Xfinity, and Coinbase accounts all work with the Google number so far for SMS messages. Haven't tried doing a voice call with them through Google yet though, but hoping that will work. Also haven't tried Chase through Google either, but so far that's a pretty good list of accounts covered. I will wait until Skype is shut-off, and if Teams isn't taking over the number, then I'll try some other VOIP service, but Google voice is looking promising so far.

I already had my Google Voice number before I came here in 2016. Plus, I believe you can't port a Skype number directly to Google voice, you have to first port it to a mobile phone account, then port it to Google voice later.

Used my Google voice and number account without issue yesterday, testing with my brother back home, so far so good! Even the caller ID leaves no trace of me being abroad. This was using wifi and data, which you need to make sure is set correctly in the settings.

Thai culture on display for the tourists.

Does Thailand consider self-defense as a defense? As far I have seen they don't seem to allow for self-defense in their laws, more like mutual combat and both are subject to prosecution.

Because a "crackdown" on illegal Thai activity won't gather any support, lawbreaking is for Thais only.

The only way she can even remotely convince her critics, is to publicly denounce her father, and to force him to shut his mouth and remove his ability to travel for any political purposes. Since there is no chance in Hell of that ever happening, she is guilty as charged.

Yeah, I still don't get it, they don't make money off the high rollers, they make their money off huge numbers of poor people losing their shirts every month.

The Brit's will have to quit drinking first, who am I kidding

I think I saw this on the news, where they showed many other videos of his driving, where many people keep cutting him off over solid lines and he loses his frustration. But this incident was his making, as he was weaving in-and-out of traffic and intentionally caused this crash. This is on him, he should feel lucky the motorcyclist wasn't seriously hurt or killed.

Rules for thee, not for me......TIT

You're more likely to die from the illegal chemicals sprayed on the "organic" produce you eat, but tainted alcohol makes for better headlines.

If they shutdown all the illegal businesses in Thailand the country would grind to a halt, pretty soon they will all be speaking Chinese anyway, and bowing to their Emperor Xi.

She has no power, no position, other than to listen and obey her Daddy's every wish.

Thai's throughout the country are addicted to gambling, telling them they can't gamble in their own countries Casinos is not going to go down well.

He wants to avoid the Human Rights condemnation, in the hopes he can steal the PM position in the near future from Thaksin and his puppet.

I think Bangkok Post summed up perfectly, "a failed state".

I believe the dial pad is only available to business 365 users, my family 365 plan doesn't have a dial pad available on Teams, yet. Not sure if they are saying they will turn that feature on for us, or not.

Like you I used both Google voice and Skype to have two solutions. I can see texts in my Google voice history from CapitalOne, Bank of America, and Amazon.....not sure if it works with my Chase account yet, I tried using the voice back and forth with my Skype account for testing, will do more testing with family next few weeks as well. Hoping I can use Google Voice without getting my Google account shut down, but still looking for another Voip plan that has SMS included and relatively cheap.
