    This is so old hat, LAST MAY!!?? News is within the last few minutes or an hour or two!!?? This is a waste of time and effort.

    If the ambulance has its emergency lights flashing and using sirens, one has to assume it is an emergency. To assume there is not a patient in the ambulance is just your assumption, and a dangerous one. Is it not possible the ambulance is carrying emergency medical supplies, or even a body transplant organ!? Common sense dictates to move out of the way of any emergency vehicle, it is not for you to decide its purpose.

    When will information on taxes for eligible foreigners be updated? this thread is 5 month old, it beginning to grow hairs.

    The Maldives were supposed to have sunk in 2015! So much for the rising seas.

    Quite possibly, as I notice it hasn't rained for almost a week now. So yes, the climate has changed.

    Strange looking things in every fuel station I use then? At least one, a few with two, and one I have visited had three.

    Except the small boats are not being turned away, but welcomed by the mindless labour louts.

    You criticize me for accusing Thai's of corruption, but here you are agreeing it is the norm. Contradiction in a very short time! In an argument, you need a very good memory to stay on the same track, not to just agree or disagree at will to suit the occasion.

    Splitting hairs?

    The only improvement being attempted, is the flow of cash into personal bank accounts by those in charge.

    I have to wonder where the start line is!
  12. Surasak
    So, now the truth has become hate!?

    There is so much s**t in their own back yard, they gave up on that idea decades ago.

    Its nice to see them kicking for a minute or more though!

    to cause confusion perhaps!?

    That is too easy and cheap. Government cash must be spent as well as your money.

    I hope you have better luck than I did then. 3K baht was the asking price six months ago. I then asked a teacher I knew and it cost me a Chang.

    One thing needs to be done in very short order. Anyone in any position of management or supervisory status in that bus company, should be facing a 30 year prison sentence with no parole or any chance of early release. Anyone who took back handers to facilitate blind eye inspections, should be facing at least 20 years in prison. Make an example of these underhand schnides and it may possibly make others think twice.

    The majority of Thai's cannot think ahead in any given situation, but on the road is a different story. On the road, they can get ahead by taking risks no ordinary person would dare or even contemplate. On the road, Thai's have to be first at all costs, even death, but they didn't see that coming in their haste to be first.

    And I am 14 years your senior, and yes it is easy to scan for payments. However, I still like to be sure the scan is not a scam and take the appropriate precautions wherever possible. Some older and some younger cannot get their heads around these cashless payments, so this headlong rush to cashless should be delayed or proper training be implemented for the less competent among us. I used to be a genius, but am much better now.

    Is there an alternative, and what is it?
  22. Surasak
    Two washing machines, both take coins. How do they go cashless??!!

    Nationwide/Virgin Money. They asked for my UK Tax Identifier Number. What use is my NI number to a bank? Or if they did require the NI, it is on three of my pension remittances to my A/C.

    Just to add the mix. I received a letter from my UK bank on Thursday 03/10/24, asking for my UK TIN number. I was given alternate means of contact, and the easiest was to phone. The questions were, am I an American citizen, NO. Do I have a TIN number from any other country, NO. All fine and dandy, but we are being checked upon. Just so you know.
