Bangkok Taxi Driver Faces Backlash for Not Using Meter
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
It's a numbers game. Taxi drivers assume that most foreigners are tourists. They know that tourists very rarely report them. I had the same issues back in '93 when I lived in Asoke. No meter on - get out and catch another taxi. (Smart phones were not a thing back then.) -
Fatal Accident Between Ice Truck & School Bus in Udon Thani
Tropicalevo replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
I suspect that they are paid by the number of deliveries that they make (or the number of sacks that they sell). Same as the water truck drivers and the cement truck drivers. All driving like maniacs to make one more delivery before they finish for the day. -
And that is why so many younger folk are screwed up. They think that social interaction is with a phone.

Fatal Accident Between Ice Truck & School Bus in Udon Thani
Tropicalevo replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
That looks like the rest of the ice truck that has become detached from the chassis. It looks like it has shot forwards from the impact and flattened the cab from behind. If it was full of ice, it would have been very heavy. -
Do you have the Bangkok Airways resident card? BHS should give a discount if you do. I had my cataracts replaced 18 months ago but I went to BHP in Phuket. At the Bright View Centre. Tri focal lenses - no more glasses. Absolutely brilliant. Cost me about 230,000 THB plus flights etc. If BHS are providing the same service, maybe go there. Always ask for a discount. (I self insure and get discounts.) https://www.brightviewcenter.com/

PPP scandal: Prawit defends reporter assault as a joke (video)
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Unfortunately, I suspect that we will never hear the reporter's truthful view on this. She will know that any perceived criticism will invoke a swift, heavy and possibly life-changing response from the military. -

Banking been stopped!!!!!!!!!!!
Tropicalevo replied to slappy's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I think that the fool is the one who wrote the dumb comment above.. Wrong. Thai tax laws are recent. Closing non domicile accounts is old. I suspect that it is the US trying to stop International money laundering across countries. (My UK Nat West account and HSBC account were stopped 23 years ago.) -
