Yes fully agree. He is not just turning on his own society, he is turning on himself. All the problems about life he likes to moan about, were caused by himself, but his lack of critical thinking, means he is unable to see it and wants to blame everyone else.

55555 Think I should follow your advice. I have mellowed as I got older, but still a little way to go yet.

Thanks, yes I do try not replying to his posts, but there are so many of them every day. 55555 But everyday he post multiple times on threads I read, and not only posts nonsense, he likes to play the victim, claim others abuse him, and sometimes I just have to reply. I will try harder to avoid. I mostly try to only post on subjects I have the knowledge and experience, and try to back you my comments with links. So thank you for your comment, and yes I will have to bite my lip harder. 55555

555555 thank you so the post. He does not answer questions, he puts your on ignore. His favourite boost is that his ignore lists is pages long! The problems are, he refuses to accept facts and the truth, and believes only his opinion counts. I know everyone has different opinions, but they count for zero, when you refuse to accept the truth when presented to you. Read his post again, he is claiming the news sorry is false, then gives his opinion of what the news story should say. He lack the ability of critical thinking, and just swamps the forum everyday with rubbish. That is why many posters call him out. I don’t put people on ignore, because that just allows them to continue to post BS, unchallenged. You may notice from the replies, I am not the only one who thinks that way. Enjoy your day.

Get them to contact you another way, or use a PC.

Check you device meets the zoom system requirements. https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0060748 I have used it through chrome in the past, now find it easier just to use the app.

Please do not put him on ignore. That is what he wants. He ignores everyone so he does not see any challenges. If everyone ignores him he gets away with posting what he wants. Facts and truth are the best way to approach this, even if t gets harder to remain civil against most of the BS

Yet another stupid post by the man thats has everyone ignore, as he believes, like Trump, his is always right. How long is it going to take for those fooled by this conman to look at them self and realise? I think never! More will be along to show they 100 % support for every word their hero says, look at the claim yesterday on how the ‘chosen one’ would have negotiated and prevented the civil war? Some posters are in an alternative reality. 5555555, but lack the intelligence to see it.

Couple of months ago, they seemed to be having a mad moment about the TM30. We were just asked to go to the outside building, register it and come back to the extension desk.

Did mine a couple of months ago. Same documents as the year before. Also I did new pics. I did my bank letter, 400000 deposit, and update on the way to immigration, as K Bank does it in about 15 mins. Got updated Kor Ror the day before, 20 baht. Only issue were there wanted a new TM30, as I had been out of the country. I had done it online, but their want it done in office. No fine or fee, just a new piece of paper in passport. Had home visit the next week, wanted witness with their house book. They took a couple of pictures, no fees requested.

You asked the same question on Saturday. Are you expecting different answers?

Really When was the last time you were in Pattaya? Your own posts show that you are not in Thailand anymore. Seems that your life is just posting many BS posts everyday on this forum, everyday..

Today the Japanese Media reported that a reporter on board of the JAL A359 as a passenger, that the evacuation was mainly completed in about 7 minutes after the collision, the captain subsequently walked through the aircraft and found a number of passengers who had not yet evacuated and prompted them to leave the aircraft. The captain was the last to leave the aircraft 18 minutes after coming to a stop.

Very good question. As the Dash 8 did not have a ADS-B transponder, then tracking previous flights on public software is not giving any results. Military restrictions on pilots hours will be different from commercial pilots, and these set by Japanese Coastguard regulations. The Japanese Coastguard did operate 25 fixed wing aircraft, of which 8 were Dash 8s. I have not seen any details issued on the Dash 8 recent flight hours, or any details, including the experience or names, of the pilots involved, maybe have to wait until the initial report. There may also be a conflict on releasing such information due to the Tokyo Police criminal investigation. Ministry of Transportation reported today that works to clear the runway are under way and the flight data recorder of the JAL A359 was recovered, the CVR has not yet been found. The runway is expected to reopen on 8 January.

Yes it looks obvious, but like most major incidents and emergencies, it is not normally a single event that causes the accident, but a series of minor events that lead up-to it. i believe that all commercial planes are fitted with a ADS-B transponder which would have alerted the JAL to the Dash 8 on the runway, and which also allows websites and apps, like flightradar24 to track the planes. Military aircraft are not required to have this type of transponder fitted. That seems very strange when both are using public airspace and airports. i quote for reference. ADS-B is an acronym for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. It provides a three-dimensional position and identification of aircraft or other vehicles. ADS-B transponders automatically broadcast information about an aircraft, including: Global Positioning System location. Altitude Ground speed. The information is relayed by satellite-linked GPS to air traffic controllers and other aircraft once every second. It’s considered more accurate than conventional radar systems. The ATC message log, looks very clear when printed on paper, but when you listen to the radio recordings, that were released, you can see how easy it would be to misunderstand or not correctly hear a message. it also seems that ATC /Tower could communicate on 118.725MHz with planes landing and on 124.350MHz with planes taking off. Both are ATC/Tower frequencies. There is no information saying planes connected to one frequency could hear what was going on on the other. It is common that they can but not always. https://youtu.be/lLMj1BnmNFA?si=3H-N3wQNgjSFc7Ei

Seen that and some other coverage by Japanese TV, and even without translation you can follow the discussion. The dash 8 wreckage was removed yesterday and it was planned to start removing the JAL wreckage today, so I assume all 4 black (orange in real life) boxes have been recovered, but have only seen reports of the investigation confirming recovery of the ones from the Dash 8. I think this incident is interesting, as so much data, video, pictures, recordings and information is available in the public domain, you can assemble you own basic investigation, and cross check it with other data, without having to guess, too much. The initial report will be interesting, and should be released in English, but maybe delayed because of the side by side Tokyo Police criminal investigation. Found this comparison of the A350 and Dash 8

The problem is just not restricted to BYD. From the same youtube posters, this video seems to imply safety standards in China, are a as most expect. The push for profits seems to have no limits, just beware of what you buy or drive.

Sorry but this is a bit dated, as not had to use the service for almost 2 years. The mini bus then to Ban Laem border, left from the market, behind Robinsons, Chantaburi. Some info in this old thread below, but may have all changed, sorry. The last time I got the mini bus from pattaya it dropped everyone off near the LoTus’s, on the way into Chantaburi.

Agree with your post, but will add that the area you have circled, is only the start of the landing zone, which then extends further down the runway.(See pic below.) reference FAA Aeronautical Information Manual section 3, 2-3- 3 e (effective from 5 October 2023). . Captain Monday is a pilot, so would be good to hear his personnel views on this. From the next morning overhead picture, it appears that the coastguard plane was pushed or dragged a short distance, finishing and burning at C6, next runway entry point. I believe that the JAL aircraft, was still in a nose up position, either on the ground or landing, when the collision occurred, which would account for the limited nose damage, loss of front landing gear and underside damage to the belly of the aircraft. There is unverified video footage from a passenger on another plane on the taxiway, which shows the JAL plane touch down just behind the coastguard plane’s position (coastguard plane can not be seen in video) and then a fireball. I will not post that until I have seen it verified as real. It is also reported that a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) message was issued on Dec. 27 to alert pilots to the fact that the warning lights that alert pilots to an open runway were not working at Haneda Airport, at the time of the accident. It remains unclear whether the lack of these warning lights on the runway played a role in accident. Copy of NOTAM below.

No according to the reports. https://www.newsdirectory3.com/2024-new-years-eve-free-highways-cabinet-approves-toll-exemption-on-bangkok-pattaya-and-bangkok-outer-ring-road-for-7-days/

This is one link to the original CCTV, showing time and date stamp. This is the CCTV footage from the airport itself, that has been used by every news source. The video I posted above is a zoomed version.

Double post.

Sorry, think you misunderstood my post, I state yes the coastguard aircraft is on the ground, in the CCTV you see it go past its stop point at C5 (in ATC messages) and wait for ATC clearance for takeoff, which it never got. The JAL aircraft can be seen landing near or on top of the waiting/stopped coastguard aircraft. The video is a recording from the live CCTV feed, and has been lightened and zoomed in. The current live cam below. The coastguard aircraft is currently being removed, other airport live CCTV

Read this report on an aircraft investigation site. The reports are from the two ongoing investigations, 1. By JTSB, (supported by team from France (airbus), Uk (Rolls Royce) Canada (Dash 8), air accident safety investigation. 2. Tokyo's Metropolitan Police who opened an investigation for professional negligence ‘On Jan 4th 2024 the JAL reported that actually 15 passengers needed medical attention. There were three pilots in the cockpit, none of them was able to see the DH8C, therefore a go around was never considered. After the aircraft came to a stop the cockpit crew was not aware of any fire, however, flight attendants reported fire from the aircraft. The purser went to the cockpit and reported the fire and received instruction to evacuate. Evacuation thus began with the two front exits (left and right) closest to the cockpit. Of the other 6 emergency exits 5 were already in fire, only the left aft exit was still usable. The Intercom malfunctioned, communication from the aft aircraft with the cockpit was thus impossible. As result the aft flight attendants gave up receiving instructions from the cockpit and opened the emergency exit on their own initiative. On Jan 4th 2024 Japan's Ministry of Transport stated that it appears the tower controller was not aware of the Coast Guard DH8C on the runway. The pilots of the A359 did not see the DH8C and are currently being interviewed by the JTSB. On Jan 4th 2024 Tokyo's Metropolitan Police reported in an interview with them the captain of the DH8C stated that suddenly a fire started in the back of or behind the aircraft. The Police is investigating whether the captain was aware there had been a collision with the passenger aircraft.’ Seems the pilots never saw the coastguard plane, either before and during landing, so would seem to have landed on or just behind the parked aircraft. Enhanced CCTV seems to show this also. 489115371442536501.mp4

Can not see how it was a radio issue, JA722A repeated the message back to ATC, at 17.45.19 ‘Taxi to holding point C5 JA722A No1, Thank you’, which was their last transmission, quoted from the Ministry of Transportation translated ATC messages. (Unless you think that is not a reliable source also). Sorry, but do you really think that bias does not exist in all countries? Can you point out anything wrong with the BBC reports? Have a look at the freedom of press report on Japan below. https://rsf.org/en/country/japan
