44 Foreign Drivers Arrested in Patong with No Driving Licenses
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
since when were these arrestable offences ? impound the vehicles possibly if it is written in law allowing them to do so and there is a fine for no licence/helmet/insurance and other driving offences - they just can't make it up as they go, I agree going after the rental companies but there must be provisions in law to allow them to do this also. -
for 5yr renewal you don't need med cert, your renewal is like this I believe - ist licence 1 yr - 2nd 2yrs - 3rd 4th etc 5yr

most TV's have a standbye light if it is getting power - it is usually red is this light on if it has one - it will also flash if the TV is getting remote signals - worth checking what brand is the TV if there is no red standbye light on when it should be then you could have a mains power issue, the first thing to check - make sure that the power cable os plugged all the way in on the back of the TV - if it is then make sure the wall outlet is providing power - plug something else in there if the power standbye light is on - check that it is flashing when you press any remote buttons - if not then open your mobile phone and turn on the camera - point the camera at the front of the remote and press a button - you will see the ir pulses from the remote in the phone camera - if you don't see this then the remote is not working (some remotes have a BT connection to the TV generally referred to as smart remotes) TV's that come with smart remotes usually come with a standard ir remote as well x remotes. I would n't call a service center until I had checked all the above

American tourists spend more money than Europeans in Thailand: survey
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
and so what ? apart from the fact that it is near impossible to work out what tourists are spending or what is more important - spending on it is understanable why VN gets more than a mention in this pontless piece Thailand has turned the corner to a police state since covid - I see this because I was here before covid and can compare, it is not only me obseves this what the cops and government are doing right now is ###### people off - they really are, people come here for a holiday - they do not expect to be arrested or harassed because they had a beer after 2am - what exactly are they trying to achieve by this ?, countries in SEA have been able to move on without this B# and get back to pre-covid normal - ### is wrong with Thailand -

What to do if Thai police stop you and attempt a ‘shake-down’
smedly replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The fact they feel the need to put this out there IMO is admission and evidence they know they have a serious problem - everyone has known it for a very long time unfortunately it goes right to the top and is imossible to do anything about it can anyone imagine what would have happened to that Taiwan actress if she hadn't been smart enough to wait until she was out of the country before blowing the whistle on the Thai police - I be willing to wager she'd have been locked up or worse
