Fined me once for overstay when I got banged up in hospital. I had a flight booked the next morning but could not go. Doctor at hospital said it would be Ok as he would issue a letter for immigration. Officer still charged me 2 days overstay. No sign of compassion.

Like the previous poster in my youth I drove a scooter when 16, passed my test and graduated to a 500cc Triumph. You just wrap up to suit the cold wet conditions. How selfish to say you 'personally' don't know anyone killed. Have some consideration to the families and friends. I know 'personally' quite a few of our many guests who rented a bike and had a bad accident. Ruined their holiday.

He already posted about this himself some weeks ago

But as I said few tourists we be covered to drive a bike with and IDP without passing bike test in home country. Which very few have passed.

Have you ever rented one of these 125 or 150cc bikes. Push bike maybe 40 kph. M bike 90 + kph. I consider that high pwered.

Rental business pays for repair or complete loss. It's not 3rd party. it's mandatory gov insurance that covers zero damage and limited hospital costs to the riders. Almost worthless but it only costs 348 Baht each year.

That's how it should be administered. But as almost no tourists will have a motor bike license in home country then then there would be almost no rental money to be made. Until government takes this seriously then nothing will be done.

But not in ICU or CCU. I have friend right now in BKK Hospital and visiting only 2 hours morning and 2 hours evening. Including his wife. And I know what I speak, as I was there 2 days ago.

Ukrainians can apply each month for a 30 day extension.

To be honest I have been quite confused by all the accidents and incidents, and calls for 'fund me'. I think about chap died in Patong police holding cell.

Are you sure you got the correct guy Xyl. Or you think about Aussie guy ?

Me too, and I am 74 with 2 million baht health insurance. Just a few days back I visited a long time neighbour in a CCU (critical care unit). He's 89. Fell down at home, ambulance too local hospital, seemed to have caught covid. Been on his back for over 4 weeks in a high cost private hospital, multiple tubes each arm. Ventilator down throat. Can't speak, too tried open eyes more than a few minutes. He has Insurance with Thai company but must be about all used up. Told my Thai wife .... don't let me go through that. Pull plugs if no hope. My best wishes to the young boy, may luck be with you .....

Yes, I remember that one. Escalator etc. Was still open when new Robinson open but closed a few years later. Spooky to walk about. I always thought it was replaced by the new one ?

Yes, I don't know if accident injuries are covered. I suspect Health service only for sickness etc.

As a director he can opt out of his personal social payments. If employee then company/employee MUST pay contributions.

As it happens Thailand is offering month by month extension to Ukrainians while the war is in progress. Thailand is NOT offering that to Russians.

Exactly correct.

Looks like Thai officials in the photos ??

No thats not our member Valentine. I have met him a number of times and that's not him in photo.

South of Circle in Rawai.

A few years back bins were removed as a security measure. Bomb threat.

Workshop immediately opposite the Shell Gas station in Rawai. South of Makro. Looked after my older cars for 10 years. Recommend. Owner called Kiat.

Get a tourist visa and then a 30 day extension = 90 days

Looks to be quite an old Toyota in poor condition visually.

Yes. I had a Triumph 500 cc super twin back in the day.
