Samsung smart switch App on each phone - very simple.

Were the other 3 lanes jammed with traffic....i guess if the pick up had stayed left this could have been avoided.

In other words, do the job you are supposed to do!

There is no infrastructure around Bali Hai to support such an idea!

Actually, they have spent millions already getting the very specialised equipment to the search area.   Sending them home now isn't going to save much money and they might as well spend the time practicing/testing to see if they could actually retrieve the craft using existing tech which is currently an unanswered question should the craft have been found intact.  

 

Besides, if they don't retrieve the craft then maybe some enterprising company will start selling tours in future so that wealthy tourists can gawp at the wreckage of the OceanGate Titan.   

There is no craft left to recover...it disintegrated.

Likewise with the people...disintegrated, there will be no bodies or body parts!

Just a few racist cliches as a substitute for not understanding how to drive in Thailand.

Been driving here for 30 years so i have a fair idea junior!

No more impact than any other government preceding them, foreigners need to realize Thailand is not focused on us one way or another. Remember all the doomsayers when Prayut took power.... yet we are still here. Dont loose sleep over it.

Yes, I agree that Thais seem a bit uninformed about their use, particularly the 'right of way' issue.

It does not work well because it conflicts with their thinking, as they approach a roundabout....Me first, Me first, Me first.....and having to give way to traffic approaching from the right....Lose face, Lose face, Lose face, impossible!!

Wow, now i have a very fitting label!!

So wrong, YOU are responsible for cancelling any EXTENSION and work permit. VISAS are not cancelled.

It is cancelled if your visa is based on employment, the company are responsible. BOI company 7 days grace, non BOI 24 hours.

Your employer is legally obliged to cancel your visa/work permit immediately, so then have 7 days to leave or get another type of visa.

But depends on your relationship with your employer, talk to the HR and ask them to maintain your visa for 3 months, this then allows you to show seasoned funds for retirement or marriage visa.
