Traffic offenders in Thailand who fail to pay fines may face arrest
ttrd replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
RE - Starting today (Monday), motorists or motorcyclists who refuse or fail to pay fines associated with traffic tickets may face arrest * There are not that many prisons in LOS, but by all means - it could be a way to fill up all the empty hotelrooms ... -
Of course it's not proveable, at least not scientificly - in a Thai way only as it seem to be based on pure assumption... To be proven the vet needed to be looked inside a room together with the cat only for 5 days until the symptoms appeares - yes, then it's proven, but when the cat was only only one of many contacts during the 5 days then it could be transmitted from a lot of other sources.

Hua Hin: It’s time to put the sleepy narrative to bed
ttrd replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
RE - Hua Hin: It’s time to put the sleepy narrative to bed * It all depends on what you are comparing Huahin with. Compared to a village in Issan, it is a narrative. Compared to Pattaya, Bkk or Phuket it is not a narrative. I chosed to stay in Huahin because it was a bit sleepy and not least safe back in 2008 and lived there over a 9 years period where the city during this period grew significantly and it went from being sleepy all week to a circus every weekend full of Bangkokers and stationary traffic jams. For the same reason, I chose to sell my property in Huahin and moved further south to a smaller and more sleepy fishing village as Huahin once was and has not regretted a minute. From time to time when I miss the circus, I visit it for a short period of time and every time I am that I am free to leave the circus behind .... -
British press support UK pensioners losing out in Thailand
ttrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agree to a certain point, BUT it should have been a kind of a middle way - an annual raise depending on the location you moved to as a minimum as cost of living raises everywhere - not only in the UK ... Btw, I am not from the UK, I am a norwegian and we get the yearly increase whether we stay in Norway or we choose to live elsewhere as long as you have lived/worked/been a member of the national insurance scheme for minimum 20 years prior to move abroad. -
Its not that hard - the challenge is that if you dont have a valid driving license in your homecountry for the vehicle you are going to drive abroad then you are not covered. Also can lack of safety equip such as helmet reduce the coverage. It may be useful to have familiarized yourself with the insurance terms and conditions before traveling. The sad truth is that most people do it after the accident has happened ...

CCSA to Consider Proposal to Suspend Test & Go and Thailand Pass
ttrd replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
RE - With the lifting of these restrictions, tourists will be able to enter the country using vaccine passports * It doesn't help those who are unvaccinated much, but it moves in the right direction so the next will be to suspend the vacination passport requirement something that will come together with the phase transformation from pandemic to endemic. Countries will enter an endemic phase at different times, due to incompatible vaccination rates and other variables so it may take a while .... -
Find this elderly foreigner who stole a 150 baht bottle of rum from granny
ttrd replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Well, there are probably several ways it can be interpreted and a more objective way can be that this behaviour can be expected of Thais but not from foreigners, which basically has a positive twist towards foreigners. Anyway, sad to see and especially in these hard times where most people struggle to make ends meet .... -
