All of these things happene every time I get in my car, apart from bad weather. I will never purchase a vehicle with anything like this, I'll do it the old fashioned way for the foreseeable future. Only when these automated systems are several hundred times better than a human controlled vehicle will I consider one - I'm sure that day will come but it's just not time yet. Having said that I have no idea if it had anything to do with this accident, it's just that whenever I go out on the roads I'm surrounded by complete idiots who make seemingly random moved all the time, any quick breaking reaction by my vehicle would result in the tailgater behind me crashing into me - and there's nearly always someone driving just a few feet behind swerving from lane to lane to get slightly ahead, even on a busy road with a red stop light in view 🙄

As Prime Minister he is literally a puppet by definition. One wrong word and the delicate and fragile coalition will split which will result in the puppet masters (the parties) kicking his ass out - he will find out. This guy seems to be on a crusade, first with has deluded tax reforms, knee jerk banning of all firearms via Anutin. He won't be PM for long. I'll give him a few more months at most - whenever Taksin gets out of hospital prison - that's when he will hear the clock ticking, it's already ticking now of course but he just doesn't realise it.

Foreigner Arrested at Phuket Airport for 80 Days of Overstay
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
They always checked before, every time I've had an overstay going back decades (before they decided to make a big deal out of it) they knew at the checking desk. I know this as I've had several overstays in the past. -

Yes, has Phuket airport gone rogue? If on overstay maybe best to make your way to Bangkok They're definitely missing their flights. -
Foreigner Arrested at Phuket Airport for 80 Days of Overstay
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Odd pattern emerging here, if you get to the airport you can leave. The check in desk know you're on overstay the moment they see your passport. What happens next? Do the police still pay rewards for reporting overstayers? -

How many of these things does the average 'addict' take each day? -
Night Venue Operators Say 4 A.M. Closure Will Greatly Boost Revenue
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Here in Hua Hin we have to make do with the karaoke area which seems to close sometime around 7 or 8 in the morning. I was told by someone that they close at that time because it backs onto some commercial premesis that opens early 🤣 -
UK pensioners flock to luxury retirement resorts in Thailand
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The state pension doesn't even come into this. A million or so goes a long way in retirement. It's kind of unfortunate that these people will be taxed to death from next year - because all that money they're bringing is not from state pensions, it will be from investment income, sale of property, etc - all of which they apparently plan to tax. -
She worked as an au pair when she was a kid and now she's an ambassador - that's the strangest cover story I've ever read. I wonder what she did to become elevated into the corridors of power in Sweden and the various embassies she's worked at around the world?

Why is the Prime Minister / Finance Minister even involved with such a decision? Is he micro managing everything that happens in all branches of government? -
Cold season may arrive in mid-November, last just a month
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Around these parts we usually get about 2 weeks of cooler weather before it turns around and starts rising again. That's been my experience over the last 15 or so years anyway -

Thai woman calls justice after Thai man attacks her Belgian husband
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Telling someone they are wrong isn't an insult. If he attacked a younger man he would likely have had the crap beaten out of him.- 118 replies

Ministry Slams Showing Video Of Thai Being Brutally Killed At UN
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Half the world has seen that video as it was all over Twitter / X -
Yes, it was something like that - a Thai version, I lost it years ago though - will be somewhere around the house I guess.

I may be wrong on the distillation process but some of them do put the minerals back in once whatever cleansing method is done. I had one of those water testing devices that told you how many parts per million of 'stuff' was in there - different brands had very different results.

Not all bottled water is created in the same way. I believe most of it is distilled Some brands reinsert the minerals that are lost in the distillation process, some don't appear to do this and essentially sell distilled water. You can tell which is which without any pre knowledge by boiling an electric kettle with some brands of water repeatedly over a week or two and watch the mineral residue build up by the day. Singha = no mineral residue in my kettle Nestle = lots of mineral residue in my kettle. So personally I purchase Singha for hot drinks and Nestle for drinking 'neat'.

Prescription (hope the word is the right one) of a scam
ukrules replied to Mika78's topic in General Topics
You need to report it within 3 months of discovering the crime. Once it's reported it's a whole different story, three years is the limit at that point I believe - so assuming you reported it when you found it there's still plenty of time left. Good luck with that though -

It may be as little as three months unless you report it to to the police From the date you discovered the fraud.
