I went to Phayathai, sriracha, they said the price was 45000 all in - except medicines.
When I went to pay they added a "nursing fee" and "medial supply fee", which they never talked about before (460B), I am supposed to pay this hidden fee twice (=920B).
Medicines are greatly overcharged. 14 antibiotics pills and one small bottle of mouthwash : about 700B.

Doctor was very good.

It went very fast and totally painless.
Afterwards also no pain.
Still waiting the crown.

Conclusion: very good, but little bit surprised when I got the bill.

The smartest, most humane and best thing is to stop and help in every case.

In the end it always turn out in your advantage if you stop and help.

I had an accident with a motorcycle driver that crossed the red light.

The guy was seriously injured.

There were no witnesses.

The motorcycle driver told the police he had green light.

The police told me: if you would be wrong you would not have stopped. The fact that you stopped and immediately went to help shows you're not wrong. So, the police said to the motorcycle driver he should not lie and he made him sign a report admitting he crossed the red light.

The police, the motorcycle driver and his father were all very polite. I immediately went to visit the guy in the hospital after the accident. No lynchings and such .... 555

Let me get this right, the MC rider lied to the police so you would get the blame, and then you go and visit him in hospital???? Have I missed something here?

Unless of course you visited him to give him a piece of your'e mind.

We went to the police after he could leave the hospital. He was seriously injured.

He was a poor guy. Fixing my car costed 80000 B. It was not just some small accident.

He lied because he couldn't pay for the expenses.

He was always polite, never aggressive.

He had no clothes when he left the hospital and the battery of his mobile phone got lost. I bought a new shirt for him and a mobile phone battery.

You have to try to put yourself in his position and than see if you would lie or not.

Life isn't that easy as you might think. In the end trying to be humane is always the best thing to do.

แล้วกัน - words put at the end of a sentence to indicate this is the last sentence - last offer - compromise - conclusion or whatever else that makes you end the conversation.

The video of dailymail on that website is blocked in Thailand. Actually all of www.dailymail.co.uk is blocked (true internet).

That sounds fair.

As absurd as it might sounds, but in many European countries the settlements for such a case are less than 6.2 million.

By putting himself outside the political system he can use methods politicians can't use:
organizing street protests, boycotting elections, blocking roads, fighting against democracy, getting away with corruption.

His tactic and method seems to not have changed.

In that case they better arrest all monks, because it's not scientifically proven that merit making in temples really makes you a better person or gives you a better life.

The advertisement says:
Why would you use Chinese stuff.
Nane (brand) remote controlled gate
Real Italian, all/every part..
20000 Baht.

They would better start with learning the difference between brainwashing and hitting children and education.

Your friends are lucky they didn't get fined for not registering you.
My wife got fined 800 Baht, because she didn't register within 24 hours after my arrival in Thailand (after going abroad for 2 weeks) that I was living in our house.

Suthep said several times he was negotiating with Prayuth and that Prayuth was on his side and that it would not take long anymore ...
Prayuth had do deny these statements in the media.
In the end we had a coup (as Suthep predicted).
Mr. Suthep became a monk.
Red shirt leaders were sent to jail.

In the beginning I wanted to give the army a chance, but now it's pretty clear they won't leave anymore unless something really bad happens.
If they really have 80 to 90% support like the first post claims they could always get into politics and have elections.
Success guaranteed - no international problems - no economy going down the drain.

Problem solved. I called to the Thai language helpdesk they knew immediately what I was talking about.
Just said: "yaak daii IP djing" ...

Yes, I did ask them. You know, I don't mind being behind their NAT but they should customers an interface to setup portforwarding.
I am very disappointed that they do something like this without any warning.

Yes, you're right.
I am behind NAT and have no access to the portforwarding interface of their NAT.
What a nightmare.
But good to know I am not the only one.

I use true docsis/cable internet in the Pattay area.
I have a webserver running behind my router (which is just the interface to another local router).
Before I used to setup portforwarding in my True/docsis router so external communication on port 8081 would be forwarded to internal communication on port 8081 (which is the port that my webserver uses).
This used to work fine.
True has changed something to their system. Now I don't get a public IP address on my true/docsis router.
The WAN IP address I get on my True/Docsis is some kind of local IP address within the true network. It starts with 100.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
But if I look at my real IP address at speedtest.net it's a real public address.

Somehow I can still get internet access via this local IP address.
There must be in the true network some kind of translation from this local IP address to a public IP address.
In Europe most DOCSIS systems actually work like this: you don't get a public IP address on your router and you need to setup portforwarding via a website of your service provider.
I called to True, and they don't know of such a website and they don't know what the problem is about.
Can anyone help me?

ลง(ของ) means to take goods out of (down) the truck.
It can be use by the transport company/seller and the buyer, meaning things are not delivered or bought (re-stocked).

Maybe some explanation about the security warning:

The warning says that the certificate used is not issued by a certification authority.

You communication with the website is encrypted.

There's no risk that a third party, other than you and the owner of the website could intercept the communication.

If you choose to ignore the warning there is a risk that the owner of the website shown here is not immigration.
Somebody (either a virus on your computer or anyone hosting the website on the internet) could have taken over the URL, build his own website that looks exactly like the immigration website and misuse your data.
I think this risk is relatively small because there's not much to gain by an attack specifically on this website.

In my country if you unintentionally kill someone in an accident and you're not drunk, you're also not sent to jail and the fine is not that high. Most of the expenses will be paid by your insurance.
I believe that's a good thing.

Never think you're perfect - you too can cause a deadly accident,

Most countries in Europe that are much more rich than Thailand don't have submarines ...
Why does Thailand need submarines?
Any idea? I really don't see any logic in it.

At least Thaksin did something for the people

Well propaganda from marxist side.... If Taksin do something why Isaan remains the poorest region thailand ?

Why during YL regime no poor farmer receive payment of their rice crop ? Why only landlords proxy to his camp receive benefit from rice scheme ?

Why Taksin not use is personal fortune for help poorest area of Thailand ? Why Taksin and is camp use vote buying ?

Why he want to transform a constitutional monarchy to fascist dictatorship “republic” under Thaksin Shinwatra rules ?

I don't like Thaksin, but you surely are one of these people that seems to blame everything that is wrong in this country on Thaksin (based on fake arguments).

People take initiatives that are risky and that might turn out the wrong way.
In the end all parties involved suffer: Thai American gay couple, the Thai person that gave birth to the baby, and not to forget the child.

It's absolute morally wrong to start with a process like this when the legal rules are not 100% clear.
And only that is the reason I don't support the American couple.

I think it will take me forever.
I feel like I am improving and I can talk about most things in Thai at a normal speed, read books and newspapers and such (a bit slower than I read English), but I think I am still very far from being fluent.
My pronunciation is still not very good (but most people understand me).

I am here for 7 years.

You'll not get deported for this - they are after your money and should not have told you this.

On Monday tell them kindly but clearly you'll not accept any fine higher than the going rate and you want to have a receipt and ใบสั่ง in case they would think it's necessary to give you a fine.
