  2. After rocketing upward since the start of April, Thailand's publicly reported COVID stats have been steadily falling for the past several weeks, which is good news. Not back below what they were pre-Songkran, but much lower than the post Songkran weeks: Latest MoPH weekly report for June 25 to July 1: --859 new COVID hospitalizations last week, averaging 122 per day (red in the chart). --43 new COVID deaths last week, averaging 6 per day (dark gray in the chart). --255 COVID hospitalized patients in serious condition (dark purple in the chart). --166 COVID hospitalized patients requiring intubation in order to breathe (light purple in the chart). https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/ Here's where Thailand was pre Songkran by comparison: March 26 to April 1:
  3. Never good to be a Beger in Thailand.... ????
  4. Here's a legitimate source for the latest version of the app: https://troypoint.com/cinema-apk/ Been working great on my Fire TV and Android TV devices, except for the subtitles issue raised by the author of this thread.
  5. Except such a will, in the absence of other pertinent information, isn't going to inform anyone it's presented to, such as a bank manager, as to whether there may be a subsequently written/executed will that superceded the one illegitimately being presented. But with a registered amphur will, there's going to be one and only one validly registered will at any given time. They're not going to keep versions A, B, C, D etc on file for the same willmaker.
  6. I think you're talking a different issue. Your comment above seems to be about what countries are or are not covered by your policy. The discussion you were responding to was whether the poster's medical policy was ISSUED by a Thai arm of Cigna or their Global entity.
  7. The presence of illegal cigarettes is "MORE shockingly" than all of the previously listed offenses such as counterfeit passports and fake visa stamps and illegal betting?
  8. The standard advice is to have separate wills specific to whatever individual countries the willmaker has assets in.... And, to have a local executor in the countries involved.
  9. In your example above, you don't specify that that case involved an actual amphur will... where the original certified will is kept on file at the amphur office. But in the more general case assuming it was an amphur will, it would have been up to the will maker to revoke/cancel whatever prior will he had on file with the amphur and replace it with a new one reflecting his current/latest circumstances. I don't see any risk/flaw in the amphur will process regarding all that... unless the will maker simply drops the ball.
  10. Yikes! Good that you followed up to check with UOB as to what they were actually going to do... Bad that your hired Thai attorneys didn't work that out and verify the outcome as part of the supposed service they provided. But even with switching to SCB or any other Thai banking company, there's always going to be a risk given the vague/loose way the Thai banks seem to have this structured. One bank manager may give you the answer you want today... But 5 or 10 or 20 years from now when your admin actually needs to use the amphur will at the bank, who knows what manager will be in charge there then and what policy they will follow...
  11. By your reference to "them", are you referring to MyUSA, or any of the other shipping services mentioned in the thread?
  12. The latest report perhaps "cleaned up" to help preserve Thailand's reputation as a supposedly tourist-friendly haven.... Obviously, it should have been Faris's Day Off... ????
  13. You're leaving out the possibility of her meeting up with a Tom GF... which I guess could include getting "pumped"... depending on their style... ????
  14. Maybe she's the real "Isan Wanderer"! ????
  15. If you mean Google Assistant, it's just a way of making voice requests/commands to a Google Assistant enabled TV, as opposed to having to click or type in what you want using the remote control.
  16. I believe it's a cost saving measure... They're planning to repurpose your older passport photocopies as scratch paper to hand out at other customers in the bank.... ????
  17. Earlier today, I did a cash deposit at a BKK Bank branch using their CDM... As always, just used my BKKB ATM card and PIN code, and nothing more than that... So if that's a form of identifying myself, it's what I've always done and still do now. It could just as easily have been my Thai wifi making the deposit instead of me, as long as she had my ATM card and knew my PIN number.
  18. It seems like the same could be said for all kinds of construction / mechanical / infrastructure things here in Thailand. (Lucky the project here didn't involve any "travelators" or escalators!) Not to mention, it's entirely possible that the initial construction was substandard from the get-go because various parties needed to take their personal cuts of the construction budget.
  19. Yes to the first part... The HH terminal for the airport bus service is just near the airport tunnel for HH Airport and also near the Post Office branch there. And for the second part, there's no "terminal" in Cha Am, just the bus stopping on the main road near the Government Savings Bank branch there, as explained in the OP article.
  20. That's the 1000 baht question that none of the various news reports I've read here thus far seem to have clearly explained (in a way that makes any sense). The closest I can recall is some notion that one or more of her suitcase wheels got stuck at the end point of the escalator/travelator, and that somehow that pressure caused some supporting bolt connection underneath the escalator to break, and that led the unit to partially collapse and create the opening where the woman's leg got caught. Something like that?
  21. Well, at least SOMETHING good came out of this.... ????
  22. 1,155 years notwithstanding, I'll be betting he'll be out of the pokey within 2 years or so, maybe less. This is Thailand, after all, a well-known hub for financial fraud. And there's plenty of reasons it is.
  23. Unlike UTP, there's a currently operating BTS-like rail line connecting to Don Mueang that makes it pretty much accessible from most anywhere in Bangkok. (Though there is a bit of a walk from the Red Line's DMK station into the airport terminal).
  24. Just to be clear, that reference above is not a Thai government source, despite the somewhat misleading name, but rather, a website managed by the Siam Legal law firm.
