The problem in Thailand is that the law is very 'relaxed' - until something goes wrong, and then it is strict. Lots of people working here on the islands illegally. A useful thing to know in case they cause trouble.

I am trying to save time - we have a number of different makes/types. Thanks anyway

Any suggestions please for a watch or key place that can replace batteries for the remote controls for automatic garage doors and gates. (We need both.) My 'go to' place on the airport road only does car/bike remotes. He suggested watch repair places. One in Big C and one in Lotus's - any other suggestions please?

Another article for the emoji

Fine point, but I am not heartbroken - just sad.

It is sad that I cannot post a 'sad' emoji.

Quite a few businesses will set up a company for foreigners. If the foreigner does not have any Thai shareholders, they can be provided by the company setting it up.

Thanks for clearing that up. A couple of reports that I had read quoted that the form should be filled in 'at least three days before arrival eg https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3006411/digital-arrival-cards-required-for-visits-to-thailand-from-may-1

Get used to it. These things are already in place in many countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia etc. Not unique to Thailand. PS they did not work for me on recent trips to both Cambodia nor Malaysia. No issues, just processed by a human being as normal.

Yellow is the 'go to' colour here on Samui apparently and only 390 per day

They are just buying time whilst they renegotiate the deals with everyone. Loyalty just became more expensive.

I hope that the poor snake is OK after having the seat smashed down on its head.

Like two peas in a pod.

I wonder what the statute of limitation is for those heinous crimes.

And people pay those outlandish prices? So much for 'going green'.

I am not an expert at anything but I have 3 chronic illnesses from years ago. Everyone said that if you have a chronic illness and you catch Covid that you are likely to die. Krapp. I had the initial jab plus two boosters. Caught Covid twice and both times it was no worse than a heavy cold. Friends where I live also had the same vaccinations AND caught Covid - very mild. None of us have died - yet. So what is the point of this trolling thread? Another conspiracy theory?

You had better start filling a brown envelope with cash Mr Zang. You are going to need a very big one.

Very sad. A busy day today at the OK coral. 5 separate shooting incidents reported on this site alone, with at least 7 victims.

or drugs

The lying, thieving, illegal junta is asking countries for aid to help after the earthquake, but they have men and money aplenty when it comes to killing civilians. And recently a cease fire was announced.

High on drugs, the murderer drives off in his car. I do wonder how many accidents are caused by drug driving, but attributed to alcohol. Sorry, a tad

I agree with most of your post, but the justice system is not to blame. That is trying to treat the symptom, not the disease. ie the crime has already been committed. Discipline and morals are first taught in the home, Every day. They should be re-enforced in the education system. No discipline at home allows this.

Muslim terrorists do not give up until they have got what they want. Sorry, peace will not happen. There will only be a lull in the fighting.

Someone looses a bag 'full of gold necklaces' and does not report it lost? Something wrong with this story.

Pheu Thai never had the public support to be the party in power. They stole it from the Move Forward party and have struggled ever since. The only thing that has got them to where they are now is the 10,000 baht 'vote buying' schemes. They have now run out of publlc funds to continue that charade.
