I just learned that Chiang Mai IMM also require a new TM30 after a trip trip to another province. I spent one night in a hotel in Chiang Rai 2 weeks ago. When I tried to do my 90 days reporting online this week, it was denied because my last recorded address was in Chiang Rai. This is the first time it has happened to me in many years.

They are planning an inspection. Next year perhaps? Preventive maintenance. Is that even in the Thai dictionary? -

If they are guilty of deeds done in Thailand i hope they get to experience the inside of a Thai prison cell before they get to the comfort of a Swedish prison. -

Foreign Rider Killed in Early Morning Motorcycle Crash in Jomtien
jchfriis replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
I've been riding motorbikes (from 125cc to 650cc) in Thailand since 2005/2006 and I promise you I have no death wish. Before that I rode motorbikes from north of the arctic circle to Paris in the south without accident. In order to survive on a motorbike anywhere in the world you've got to have this attitude: Everybody else in traffic are blind, they are deaf, they are probably drunk and they are all out to kill you! Of course renting a motorbike anywhere (not only Thailand) without experience, without a license and riding without a helmet is very stupid. But your statement that anyone who gets on a motorbike in Thailand has a death wish is pure ignorance. (I'm being polite) -
Bus Owner Caught Trying to Hide Illegal Gas Cylinders After Deadly Fire
jchfriis replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sorry, should have put a laughing emoji in my post. I’ve lived here long enough to have learned a bit about how things are done (and not done) here. I still think it’s a good opportunity for her. Do I expect anything to be done to fix the problem? Absolutely not! -

Utterly laughable if it wasn't for the the fact that it may very well be taken seriously and oust one more government. -

Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%

Minis = BMW. Smart = Mercedes Maybe that is the reason. -
I totally agree with this. I had a serious car accident 40 years ago (totalled the car). Got lucky, nothing broken but got a compression in my spine. It hurt like hell though, but I found out that by going to the gym and strengthen my muscles the pain went away. I still go to the gym 2 to 4 times a week.

Gen X faces higher cancer risk than Baby Boomers
jchfriis replied to CharlieH's topic in Health and Medicine
I'm a 76 year old Baby Boomer and not surprised. All the crap food you see in the supermarkets today didn't exist when I grew up, and like Santisuk writes the lifestyle is totally different. Looking at American TV I see first advertisement for so-called food that I would not touch. Second I see ads from Big Pharma to fight all the ailments that is the result of wrong diets and a sedentary lifestyle. Most people my age (and younger) are on lots of different medications because the doctor find it easier to prescribe a pill than find the root cause.
