and that is what the police chief and his family are willing to disclose. imagine the amount they're hiding.

where can we get quality "standard" ones?

He told the police that he was concerned that his girlfriend was splitting up with him.

3 bullets made sure of that

really!? in the hub of "180-degree turns"?

I was chased by a guy in Phuket with a big knife that was trying to stab me.

 

Ended up in the Police station where he got a 100 baht fine.

 

When I complained that he was trying to kill me, the police said "yeah, but he didn't".

 

...and to make it worse, he gave him back the knife and told us both to leave at the same time.

 

So I do not doubt your story...although the fine looks rather high.

standard rates apply for local-on-local. 80% off for local-on-farang. another <deleted> moment in LOS.

just lockdown until the omega alpha-2 variant is controlled.

Were the guys in or out ?

investigators couldn't tell as the "situation" kept changing every half second.

i did my reporting last week. the online platform (thankfully) worked this time.

Covid-19: "Note to self...infect people before 9PM"

and start again at 4am

good! sadly, he isn't the only or last scammer on earth.

learn the drill. if your passport doesn't work, it's for locals only.

got my second 5-year license 3 months ago at chatuchak DLT. was told that online queue was for Thais only (surprise surprise). expats can just walk in, but only 50 applicants were accepted per day. best to ask your wife to call your local DLT office for specifics.

70% of 69 million with 2 doses equates to 1 million a day if the September goal is to be met. That and hesitancy to register will make this very highly unlikely to happen.

under 18 years old (roughly 14 million) are not part of the vaccination plan, since there is no safety/efficacy data among that agebgroup. so 70% of 55 million is 39 million over 122 days equates to 300k per day. hesitancy will indeed be crucial, but not before availability.

I downloaded the app the DLT woman suggested the other day. Get to the second page where you have a choice of adding your passport number or ID and wont let me enter a passport number. Mrs called DLT again said app not fully developed for foreigners yet and farang can not use yet. All par for the course here. You say you made an appointment with the app DLT Smart queue? I bet they still have 50 employees in the office (or at home) and only 2 or 3 seemingly working. 

i didn't get a queue from DLT Smart - couldn't do it anyway. so i just went to the tent space for foreigners and followed instructions from staff there. 

did my 2nd 5-year DL last month at chatuchak DLT office. three things have changed. numbers 1 and 2 only affect Thai DL applicants. 

1. download an app to set an appointment

2. watch videos online prior to the appoinment

3. foreigners can just walk in without an appointment, but only 50 applicants are accommodated per day

good luck!

One would assume that if you work here and have a social security card - you would get free treatment, or am I thinking outside the box!

... or dreaming. probably both!

Do farangs come before Soi Dogs?

i believe the soi dogs, elephants, buffaloes, and monkeys come before farangs. i don't know the hierarchy  between insects and rodents, but we're somewhere there.

From my own experiences I somehow doubt that in many places the 'admin' folks or the 'HR' folks are all that well informed nor up to date with the changes etc., that are in progress with this matter

under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you. however, the hospital director who's in charge of the vaccine distribution and administration at the uni i work for confirmed that I'm not eligible at the moment. oh well. 

i have SSO, but was told by admin at workplace that only Thais are eligible for now. 

go to Mexico and wear shirts that read "Biden, let us in". that should work.
