What are the exact fatalities for 2019 and especially 2020 ?

The Covid-19 must have helped to reduce the number of fatalities in 2020

Why should he have maintained it ? Once the condominium is finished, it's to the Committee/Management to take in charge maintenance.

The problem is that the developer has not maintained common areas for the last 2 - 3 years.

This is not a condominium but a housing estate.

The developer is responsible for maintenance until such time a JP can be established i.e. 100% sold. This developer chose this option instead of at the time when 51% were sold.

According to Thai Law the developer is responsible to make the project back to its original state before handing over to JP.

The problem is that the developer has not maintained common areas for the last 2 - 3 years.

Any experience with Juristic Person ? At the housing estate where I live, the developer has now called for formation of a Juristic Person so residents take over the daily management of the housing estate through the JP.

I am afraid that the developer cannot be trusted and will bulldoze the formation through without considering to bring our estate into a close to 100% perfection such as swimming pool, roads/sois and common facilities.

Please advise any experience you may have on the subject. Thank you very much.

I wonder if YL has a licence to be selling rice in a public place. The BIB should check that her paperwork is in order..

 

I was just about to say the same thing.

if no valid parking not allow to buy cars

No car allow to park on any public street over night.

Stop encourage people to buy cars

this won't 100% solve the problem but ...

 

What happened exactly at 2011 elections ? A THB 100,000 tax reduction for first time car owner was part of the bait, stupidity, but car manufacturers and sub-suppliers had some golden days.

Spent close to 5 hours in the jam just to send the grandchild to school. Traffic to the school was no problem about 25 minutes and the distance only a little more than 8km from home, but to get back was a nightmare.

This was not Bangkok, but Samutprakan.

Lack of planning clearly shows when we have the "easypass" system and the "M pass" system. Both systems speed up passage through tollgates but it's most inconvenient to have to have both in the car so I suspect most, like me only, have one. A single system would mean totally, more people using the faster cashless passage through tollgates.      

It should be mandatory to have EasyPass in the car. About MPass I am not so sure as it looks like no one is using it. 

Unfortunately Thai people do not like to pay in advance.

Vehicle ownership isn't an issue, availability of reliable, affordable and safe public transport infrastructure is, in many cities its the lack of it that's causing issues.

Plus the drains cannot accommodate the water flow.

At the end of the 60's a German expert team was employed by the Government/BMA to come of with suggestions how to solve Bangkok's traffic woes, which at that time was also terrible.

During the late 60's I stayed at Sathorn Road close to Rama IV Road and worked in Chinatown. If I left at 07:10 I would be at work 07:30 if I left at 07:15 I would be at work at 08:00.

I am sure that the German expert team had a very great time in Bangkok before they came up with their "conclusion", which was very simple:

TOO MANY CARS

It seems like some forum members have difficulty to distinguish between Danish and Dutch. The headline clearly states "Danish man".

Does anybody know if the CTH box and satellite dish can be used for other channels ? At least if the satellite can be useful one way or another.

No mention of exclusions and no mention of age limit etc.

You have to contact them for quote and details.

You can get a quote real time on their website. Just click the Get a Quote icon on their website. I did it the other day. Now they want you to enter your name, age, email address, etc., before being allowed to click the button that gives you the immediate online quote, but you can enter bogus info into those data fields to get the quote. But no, they don't give "fine print" info that I could see just general coverage info. But after getting the quote I didn't look much farther so maybe there are fine print details in some links I didn't see (if it had been a snake.....).

Not only that, they also want your credit card details right away as if it is given that they will give you cover.

No mention of exclusions and no mention of age limit etc.

How come they are still playing cards in the photos? One cop is standing there smiling watching them play..

What a joke.

Re-enacting the "crime".

have to wonder why they would invite someone than cannot even speak english let alone construct a sentence without someone else writing it for her, bet there is no question and answer time as that would really show how pathetic she is. .

Pathetic or not, poor orator or not, she was elected and then deposed. As for trouble, Thailand is responsible for its own problems. It was pretty pathetic to deport UN refugees.

Elected by her brother.

I think that Scandasia was a bit too fast to bring this kind of story. First of all the tabloid "Ekstrabladet" cannot be regarded as being truthful, but usually comes with some "sensational" news like the one about "Senior citizens". Definition of a senior citizen is a person who has reached the age over 60 or over 65.

A Danish retiree living in Thailand receives a basic pension of around DKK 70,000.- per annum or close to THB 6,000.- per month or THB equalling THB 31,000.- at current rate of exchange. This amount is paid out irrespective if you are married, co-habiting or otherwise. The amount is the same. Please note the amount is before tax.

If a Danish retiree would be living in Denmark or within the EU, he/she would be eligible to some additional benefits/allowances. Health Insurance/hospitalization is one of them. A retiree in Thailand must take out his/her own health insurance, which can be difficult/complicated all depending on the circumstances such as health issues.

What the article could relate to are persons that for one reason or another are not available to the working environment due to some handicap or illness. In Denmark these persons are called "pre-retirees" and could have any age. So if the article refers to this group of persons, then it is correct that there is a differentiation between single and married/cohabiting.

For the Danish authorities to check up was a relatively task as they only contacted persons with a registered address in Thailand. Where the check up went wrong was to catch the many persons living in Thailand having a cover-up address within the EU thereby receiving all kind of benefits.

"withdrawal of voting rights for Danes when moving abroad"

Bit of an irony, welcome to Thailand!

Voting for the scum bags in my home country would be the least of my worries. Extension of health care, taxation and other things come to mind. When you leave they give you a golden boot in the ass my ass. So much for a life time of toil paying taxes and being a good citizen. Then they treat you to low pension increases and low interest rates on money you leave in banks back home. Its one thing to be screwed but screwed blued and tattooed is way to much. At least the Danish government has the courtesy to listen to its citizens living abroad. Could be just lip service.

It is a misunderstanding about "At least the Danish government has the courtesy to listen to its citizens living abroad".

The meeting is simply to promote the organization "Danes Worldwide" and the event is at the Danish Embassy.

The problems for retirees residing in Thailand besides no voting rights are:

As for the pension then a retiree will only received the BASIC amount without any other allowances. If residing within EU and some other countries f.inst. Switzerland, retirees can get these allowances.

Tax is paid to Denmark at the rate of 37-38%.

Health insurance - this is the worst part. Retirees in the EU are receiving health insurance, whereas a retiree outside Denmark/EU must take out an insurance which is extremely costly and one should even be grateful to the insurer if they will accept to take the risk.

Khun Porntip's book "The Dead Do Talk" is very interesting. Unfortunately it appears that she has been "handcuffed" that is out of fear she could not tell about her encounters with the police force.

I assume that other members are exposed to this nuisance. If for instance I am at Ebay, most of the window will be covered by pop-ups from Lazada.

How to get rid of this.?

Thanks.

This place is 240 km from Bangkok and 40 km south of Hua Hin - It has been approved by kids as they say and in my humble opinion the best sea side resort at a cheap price in Thailand.

Very good for kids - even for the elderly, but if you hate kids, maybe not the place.

Anyhow, highly recommended and the food is very good too and at reasonable prices.

If true this is fantastic news and a step in the right direction. Away from the paper driven bureaucracy.

However, I will sit firmly in the "let's wait and see" camp for now.

Not completely paperless as you still have to print out your receipt and keep it together with your passport.

Based on income, insufficient to get a visa unless you have THB 800,000 in a Thai bank account.

There are also EXCLUSIONS to insurance policies and based on medical conditions some companies will not even give you a quote.
