  1. No problem, you can drive with the standard license. The blue plate just shows that your car seats more than 7 people. It is still a private car, and that's fine. White on blue can go, black on yellow is commercial and requires a different license.
  2. I just do it online. It takes about two minutes, and it works. You even get an email to remind you. The first online service in Thailand, that really works. And instead of a fine I invest in the yearly extension at a price of 1900 Baht. Good deal, eh? ????
  3. These machines might do a good job running Linux. I would give Mint or Puppy Linux a chance. Surely good enough for going online or doing light work.
  4. Too late. Look at their video, I never watched a garbage like that. After three minutes I had to stop it. Unbearable!
  5. Take care of your health and wear a helmet. If you need police checks to remind you of the easiest safety measures there is something seriously wrong, maybe about the body part which should be protected.
  6. That was the decoration of the disco - made from styrofoam - which was burning like crazy.
  7. Straight road, no slope, boring, fall asleep, boom. Standard practice.
  8. The website runs great with Firefox. The reply/confirmation comes via email as a PDF, which prints nicely from Okular in KDE.
  9. In my opinion, all Steven Segal films are awful. But that's a matter of personal taste.
  10. My PCX from 2013 runs happily on E20, odometer says about 64000 km now.
  11. It should be no problem unless there is a clause in the rental contract about leaving the province. But doing a tour without proper driving license is no good idea. At least you should hold a valid International Driving Permit.
  12. Years ago I got a stamp of 1 day overstay "but less than 24 hours". Actually the total was 7 hours... In those days it was still 200 Baht per day, but for me it was free.
  13. Today I even got a reminder email, that my next 90 days is due in two weeks. Cheers to the programmer of the new system.
  14. And they are using these 300 Baht to drop to tenfold-charging (or more) on the entry fees for National Parks???
  15. The new system worked finally for the first time in the last roughly 15 years since I tried it. Actually I spend less time on the computer than one Reversi game, so I don't care if I lose a few days. It is more convenient than a 200 km roundtrip.
  16. As long as the traffic lights at every junction and zebra crossing are independent of the traffic flow, no one will be motivated to stop. It cannot be too difficult to setup a "green wave" system, other cities and countries have done it. And the BIB playing on the controls like on a gameboy don't improve the traffic flow. At Din Daeng I was standing at a red light for about 15 minutes years ago, they created a traffic jam back on the express way with no end in sight. It is more than understandable if drivers don't want to stop for an eternity. And zebra crossings seems to exist just for better look of the roads - "we have many colors"...
