Booking websites - Are they conning us?
freeworld replied to Scouse123's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Booking.com is a subsidiary of the US company, Booking Holdings, who is the parent and owner of booking.com. "Booking.com is one of the largest online travel agencies.[1][2] It is headquartered in Amsterdam, and is a subsidiary of Booking Holdings." Yes it was founded in The Netherlands and its headquarters are based there but it is now an American owned company. Philips and ASML are Dutch companies. -
Technician crushed to death while repairing lift at Bangkok airport
freeworld replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
No LOTO of E/M systems, workers take shortcuts and this is how accidents happen. A trained lift technician should know the procedures and also the engineering manager and safety in charge at the airport who should be overseeing the safety of workers on their equipment on their premises. -

Any reason not to book directly with the airlines? I have always found the prices to be cheaper directly. -

Man assaults hairdresser and trashes salon over haircut (video)
freeworld replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
Ever sat in a barbers chair in Thailand expecting a certain style of haircut and being on edge hoping for the ordeal to end as you watch in the mirror your head receiving this odd haircut. Happened to me a few times and in the end just asked for all the hair cut off equally with a razor. -

In this day and age, why are they still calling it monkeypox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpox Nomenclature The name monkeypox was originally coined because the disease was first identified in laboratory monkeys.[3] This was subsequently criticised as a misnomer, because monkeys are not the main host or reservoir. It was also criticized because the name reinforced stigma about African countries as a source of disease.[17] After requests by a number of public health organisations and scientists, who argued that these issues were harming the fight to contain the disease outbreak,[18] the subtypes of monkeypox virus were renamed clade I and clade II in August 2022. The World Health Organization announced in November 2022 that it "will adopt the term mpox in its communications, and encourages others to follow these recommendations".[6]

Thailand police seize 14,400 tonnes of hazardous aluminium dross
freeworld replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Hot means hot as in illegal goods or hot as in heat (freshly cast ingots)? Really strange that they could form a company and set up such a plant for recycling aluminium dross. Were they using a thermo-mechanical process or chemical process to recycle the dross. for eg a dross recycling plant in New Zealand -
Since the advent of computers,increasingly govt and employers are becoming more intrusive and requiring criminal record checks for all kinds of jobs. To the OP, it would be convenient and easier if you get a CR check whilst still in Thailand and then it does not have to be applied for from abroad should an employer need something like that.
