Go to Google Earth pro, search for Mae Sot, then follow the route 12 to Tak and drag the little street view man onto the route 12. That will show you the road in daylight and you can track it back to the Tak/Kamphaeng Phet junction at the route 1 and you will se what a scary road it is.

My Facebook account was hacked back in October and Facebook blocked me from that account. It spawned 20 other accounts and when I queried Facebook, they told me the problem in normally sorted out in 24 hours. They also said that if I disagreed with their decision that ALL 20 odd accounts including my solitary accounts would be deleted after 30 days. That was 32 days ago yet Facebook will NOT allow me to create a new account. Any attempts to contact them have to go through a Facebook account. Har de har de har.. I used Facebook to keep in contact with some groups in the UK and a few people. How can I open another Facebook account and not be turned down again?

What is even sadder, is that there are people who actively go looking to be offended. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63768031 Camilla, The Queen Consort, is ending the tradition of having ladies-in-waiting, but instead will be helped by "Queen's companions". As well as modernising the title, the six women assistants will be less regularly in attendance than the previous role required. The honorary positions involve helping the Queen Consort at public events. Unlike the ladies-in-waiting, this slimmed-down role will not involve correspondence or administration. Replacing the role of lady-in-waiting will end a feature of court life going back to the middle ages, with such close personal helpers of a Queen often coming from aristocratic families and, over the centuries, sometimes caught up in court intrigue. The new "companions" will be a more occasional and informal position, supporting the Queen Consort at official engagements and not involved in replying to letters or day-to-day planning. They don't receive a salary but their expenses will be covered.

You may be within your rights but IMHO if you refuse them you may well be in a whole heap of trouble at your next extension. My advice would be to welcome them, comply with what they want and let them go on their merry way. If you are perfectly legal what is there to worry about?

When I joined the RAF they taught me things and how to drink heavily. The initiation ceremony was a pub crawl of the 13 pubs in the village and a pint in each pub. I learned that eating a blistering hot curry afterwards was not a good plan.

I will give you a predictable answer. Read and comprehend the post you are responding to BEFORE you reply to it. JensenZ has already said that he can buy milk at the correct price, so there was no point in your reply to him.

I am a bit confused. I always thought that formal labour is having a full time job for 5/6/7 days a week and a salary at the end of it. Informal labour is day labour hire, part time work, cash in hand but not necessarily work tomorrow. There is more work available in the planting and reaping times and less in the growing times.

To answer you, why did no other vehicles have an accident at that spot that particular time and day. There are a very few runaway escape lanes. From the photo it looks like it happened at night on a fairly well lit road. There are unlikely to be any CCTV cameras, the gradients are horrendous but there are "safety" barriers for what they are worth in quite a few places I have driven that road quite a few times before both in a car and on a motorbike before it was improved. On the bike all I could smell for kms was burnt asbestos, burnt rubber from heavy breaking (which makes the road very slippery when it rains) and there is little more terrifying than being tailgated by a 20 wheel truck and trailer, a full sizes bus like the one that crashed or worse still, a minibus. There was no where safe to pull over and let the numpties go past as the traffic stream was more or less continuous. If you really want to know how dangerous the road is, then try driving from Tak to Mae Sot and return. Fortunately for me I don't ever need to use that road again.

It would be easier, cheaper and better for Thailand to simply abolish the senate completely. However the senate would still have the final word, and it would be a resounding NO.

Probably about the time that Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in 2006.

Stupid is, as stupid does.

What!! With all those armed soldiers behind him, not to mention tanks, APC, aircraft, helicopters and drones behind him. There are not enough investigators to ask everybody why their gun went off, 'accidently'.

It is on the BBC News website here https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63802649 And an interesting story by his eldest son here https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63709446

That is expensive.

I have no idea of the going rate the loan shark use nowadays, but back in the mid 1990s it was 20 baht per 1,000 loaned, per day. If it was not repaid the next day it was 1020 baht plus interest etc. 35,000 baht even at those old rates is 35,700 baht and going up daily.

This is the requirement from Kamphaeng Phet IO for last month. The one in Thai is a copy they gave me that I scanned and the other is a translation to English. For me, I had to do 2 copies, one for KPP and one for the regional IO at Chiang Mai. visa extension documents list from John Spooner.pdf

Is there a difference in taste? I wouldn't really know as my water comes from a 3,000 litre stainless steel rainwater tank.

But first I have to get to Kamphaeng Phet which is 65km away. Hence the reason I combine it with a bulk shopping trip. When I first started I had to go to Mae Sot 185km each way, then to Nakhon Sawan 135km away. Now it is KPP only 65 km away.

I do my 90 day report in person and blend it in with a bulk shopping trip. It takes me a bit longer now as the IO is about 7km out of town but still only 30 minutes every 3 months.

Yet if you had gone to a 7/11, that same bottle of water would only have cost about 8 or 9 baht. If you go to any Tops, Villa or Friendship you will pay far more for the same items as you would elsewhere. Other than that I agree with you about the government and the way that they are running Thailand.

Just another dinosaur wanting to get his snout in the trough as usual.

I think that this is a reason why British Royal Marines are trained in Artic warfare In Norway every year. https://www.army.mod.uk/news-and-events/news/2018/02/cold-weather-survival-skills-in-norway/ https://www.natomultimedia.tv/app/asset/663805 https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/operations/arctic-and-northern-european-waters/cold-weather-training
