  1. Seems all the Thai AMLO and banking reps attending international anti money laundering training and conference sessions which is being implemented in the Thai financial system. Expect to see a lot of innocent people getting frozen out of their bank accounts for suspicious activity (no access to their money) whilst the banks conduct due diligence.
  2. Does not make sense at all and why would more Isaan provinces need to be added to the list? Just because they are from a certain region in Thailand? Do you honestly condone that possibly being a non immigrant in Thailand yourself. It may/may not be fake news but when coming to the dealings of govt behind closed doors and all their tricks, always citing national security as a way to keep their misdeeds hidden from the public, I would not be surprised to question where there is smoke there is fire.
  3. I'm always surprised at why so many police officers are employed by govt posing in an unproductive capacity in news pictures who are obviously there to parade and inflict humiliation on the perpetrator of overstay for their heinous crime.
  4. Never, not interested in that, very risky. Exchanging in and out would at some point give rise to cause even more issues at any point in the normal banking system.
  5. Once again proves money in a bank account is not owned by the ones whose names are on the account and whose money is deposited in the account. Wish there was some legal practical way to have our personal money/savings held outside of banks and investment institutions.
  6. I would recommend, if possible, going into their ticket office to get it corrected. Ticket Office - Bangkok Address 2/F, B.B.Building, 54 Asoke Road 10110 +6627873387
  7. Usually the airline puts a warning for the traveler to be sure the name on the tickets are correct before getting to the end of the purchase. What do the ticket T&C say about that? https://www.emirates.com/english/help/faq-topics/booking-with-emirates/faq/what-is-the-maximum-number-of-travellers-for-whom-i-can-make-an-online-reservation/ You can correct the name on your ticket (subject to fees) if your name is misspelled on the ticket. This must be done before the first flight of your itinerary. If you have legally changed your name you may do this at any time throughout your journey. Emirates does not allow transfer of ticket to someone else, by changing the name on your ticket to another person. We may request further evidence from you in respect of any request to change the name on your ticket. Is there a fee to correct my name on an Emirates ticket? If your name is misspelled on the ticket, you may be able to get it changed. Here is an overview of fees: All markets (excluding UK, India and Brazil): USD30 per ticket for direct bookings (i.e. Emirates website, ticket offices or contact centres) and bookings made through a travel agent (or non‑Emirates website). UK: GBP10.00 per ticket for direct bookings (i.e. Emirates website, ticket offices or contact centres) GBP20.00 per ticket for bookings made through a travel agent (or non‑Emirates website). Brazil: No charges apply where the point of sale and the point of origin for your journey is Brazil. India: No charges apply where the point of sale is India. How do I request a name change for my ticket? For direct bookings, this must be done at least two hours before the departure of your flight. Passengers are required to contact Emirates either via our contact centre or one of our ticket offices. For bookings made through a travel agent, you will need to make the request with the travel agent.

    septic tanks.

    Some basic guidelines How often should you pump your tank? The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends getting your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years to remove sludge buildup. That number of years depends on several factors: The size of the septic tank. The number of people in your home. The volume of wastewater and solid waste that your family generates How often should a septic tank be pumped? Septic tanks should be pumped at three- to five-year intervals, and inspected by a professional once every three years. How do I know if my septic tank needs cleaning? If your drains are blocked and there is an unpleasant odor, chances are your septic tank is in need of cleaning. If these signs aren't present, you should still consider going for it if three to five years have gone by since the last pumping.
  9. A long time ago there used to also be a Christmas/New Year tax and a compulsory fee to eat/attend a Christmas/New Year party/meal, whether you wish to participate or not, don't know if it is still the case. Business have unlimited options to raise extra fees and the internet gives incentive to seek out ideas from all over and implement them. I think there is no more low season like it used to be, it may be high season all year round now.
  10. This cop spots this blond driving on the freeway knitting! Pull Over! he yells. No! She yells back, Cardigan!
  11. Colour depends on the types and % of alloys used, alloys are also added for hardness and strength. Thai gold is high in gold content at 23 karats, that is why it is quite soft. The western gold is harder 18K 75% gold and 25% alloys. Thai gold is 96.5% gold and 3.5% other alloys eg. 24 kt gold is pure gold. 18 kt gold contains 18 parts gold and 6 parts of another metal(s), making it 75% gold. 14 kt gold contains 14 parts gold and 10 parts of another metal(s), making it 58.3% gold. 12 kt gold contains 12 parts gold and 12 parts of another metal(s), making it 50% gold. 10 kt gold contains 10 parts gold and 14 parts another metal(s), making it 41.7% gold. 10K gold is the minimum karat designation that can still be called gold in the US
  12. I would say MBK or in Klong Thom Mobile market near Chinatown.
  13. I wonder who is responsible for the pollution and global warming and the desire and entitlement to own stuff, consume, take holidays, control other species, drive nice cars etc... But lets focus on solutions by alternative green sources whilst the manufacture of those sources is creating more pollution and global warming.
  14. China and other developing nations should send all the manufacturing back to Europe and the USA and let them deal with the costs, pollution and global warming industry creates.
  15. Just confirmed with my wife, Mee Hokkien Noodle is a Chinese dish, sorry about that.
  16. Standard Thai food available everywhere in Thailand.
  17. Govt and people stop all wars and get on with each other, military budget diverted to and allocated to medicine and doctors scientists find a quick cure for all human ailments then countries will be awash with money which could be distributed to us.
  18. Well for all the rhetoric, global meetings, new green business technologies designed and implemented, new energy policies, tax incentives, human populations increasing etc... it does not seem to stop the polar caps melting, heat increasing. Someone and some groups are making bank.
  19. Interesting there are also people falling off balconies in the west. I guess the standards and regulations are insufficient prevent this. https://injepijournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40621-019-0181-3 Falls from a balcony while intoxicated: a new injury trend among young adults?
  20. I guess in the land of the free and leaders of the free world, the arbiters of international world order, the standards and regulations are perfect and such incidents do not happen. https://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/09/us/car-dangles-off-parking-garage-austin-irpt/index.html https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/police-driver-hospitalized-after-launching-vehicle-off-8-story-parking-garage https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/13422/video-shows-car-plunge-7-stories-off-parking-garage-narrowly-miss-suv
  21. Surely there should be regulations and standards in place for parking garage railings/barriers. Looking at the pics it seems those railings could be better designed and constructed to stop a motor vehicle impact, just as barriers on a highway are.
  22. What is the alternative to burning and have they been taught and promoted by govt experts to exactly what is required? Are there too many humans involved in producing and consumption to earn govt fiat to survive and is this the result of the expectations of overpopulated human end consumers who require the end products to enjoy? The basis for all this is always the increasing human needs and wants.
  23. "Also arrested at a resort on the holiday island was French lady Miriam, 36, who had overstayed by six days. She appeared to be smiling behind her mask." I do not see the mask.
