Are cars legally required to stop for a zebra?
petedk replied to berro's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
All very well, but laws are never upheld in Thailand. A traffic cop could become a millionaire if he stood near a Zebra crossing for a few days (especially those that have red lights) and stopped everyone who didn't stop for pedestrians. -
Polish Passenger Threatens to Bomb Plane Mid-air on Flight to Bangkok
petedk replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
I thought airlines in general were very strict about bomb threats and evening saying the worde "bomb" out aloud could cause reactions from the staff. This is a dangerous precedence - not punishing her. Imagine the chaos if people start making empty bomb threats. -
Chinese man calls Thai women prostitutes sparking online outrage
petedk replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Of course there are prostitutes all over the world. It is true that in Thailand they don't make any effort to be discreet. Maybe there are too many fighting for the customers. There are a couple of houses near us that are rented by very wealthy Chinese and used for ( well I'd better not say). Anyway, they hire absolutely gorgeous, refined Chinese prostitiutes, who turn up aroung 9 pm. The next morning they go shopping, load all their stuff in the car that picks them up. The boot is already half full of goods from the other girls sitting in the car. The bags are simply left out for the rubbish collectors. -

If he plans to do the report online in the future then he MUST report in person. I returned from abroad in February and did the first report my mail. No problem. Tried to do the 2 nd one online was was rejected. I went to Chaeng Wattana and the officer made it quite clear to me that you can only report online after a personal visit.

Thailand calls for strict e-cigarette law amid rising seizures
petedk replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You beat me to it. They could ban alcohol, cigarrettes, make it illegal to have more 2 people on a motorcycle. Illegal to keep dogs or whatever and nothing will change as the laws are never proerly enforced. -
Thailand Unveils Ambitious Plan to Become Aviation Hub by 2030
petedk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This was also proposed in 2015. It gets mentioned every so often, but no progress is ever made. -
I thought the sale of all e-cigarettes was illegal, but it seems from the headline that this particular type are illegal. The people at the weed shop were arrested for "possessing and selling goods without paying the necessary taxes" and another for illegally working. The actual sale of e-cigarettes hasn't been cited as a crime.

New Tax Rules for Expats in Thailand Spark Concern
petedk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This year I managed to get some tax-returns ( as I have done a few times previously), but this time the revenue department wanted a copy of every page of my passport to check that I had lived here more than 180 days. So I can see how they how going to check whether you have stayed here 179 or 181 days. -

Your wife will be taxed. The headline says "New tax rules for foreigners", but the new tax rules also cover Thai people. -
I also use True and have been complaining to them for the past 2 weeks. The speed is ok during the day, but at about 7 pm it suddenly drops and I am getting 3 Mbps. Using a VPN I can get 300 Mbps. Their technician has been here several times but he doesn't seem to understand the issue.
