....because he didn't provide her with the correct funds 🤣😂🤣

On Patong Beach 🤣🤣😂

Looking forward to the resolution to this one.

They were arriving visa-exempt

You don't in my office (Nakhon Sawan) Last September my friend applied for his extension the day before his old one expired. I thought he would be in trouble but nothing was said. When I did my 90 report I asked how soon I can do my renewal and they said upto 30 days before the current one expires. There was no mention of any minimum.

Channel conflict is more of an issue with 2.4 MHz. Non overlapping channels are 1, 6, and 11

This is correct but good luck arguing with the cops and insurance companies if you make a claim. Even some embassy websites say you need one but legally you don't if your licence is in English. A few years ago my friend was stopped in his car in Chonburi and the cops wanted to fine him 1000 baht for not having an IDP. He insisted on going back to the station so it could get sorted and after a couple of hours waiting he was fined 500 baht and given a receipt. When he got to his hotel he asked reception to translate the receipt and they said he was fined 500 baht for not wearing a crash helmet 🤣

...or just googled it. I use the Honda car dealership in Nakhon Sawan and they speak English and they also give me the empty can of the new oil they've used.

'The police confirmed the arrest of the woman soon after the incident. Neighbours know her as a reserved Asian woman, a single mother raising two children under challenging circumstances.' I thought ppl not from the UK would like to know what sort of help is available to single parents as 'challenging circumstances' is very subjective journalism. Next time read the story.

I suspect they are referring to the actual electronic check of the passport when it is placed in the reader and not the whole clearance process

A marriage extension does not allow for a deposit and income combo, only a retirement extension.

This service is not only for 70-year+ passengers as first and business-class ticket holders can also use it. Disabled and wheelchair users are also eligible and you can pay for it as well. They carefully check your ticket before allowing you in so I don't know how you think it is being abused. On arrival, you can use fast-track immigration if you are with a Thai citizen or have young children but the same does not apply on departure.

This has been the case ever since the TM6 was dropped

The pink Thai ID card has your name in Thai but the Thai driving licence has your name in English

N95 face masks are the only ones that help with air pollution. The low medical-grade masks that most ppl use are no good at all.

I couldn't agree more. There are many rules, bans, and regulations that are simply put in place to show the power the ruling class has over the working class.

A single parent in England and Wales would receive child benefit for both children, universal credit, housing benefit, council tax paid, and free school meals. None of which would be available to her in Thailand.

Plastic can only be recycled 2 to 3 times whereas paper can be recycled indefinitely. So what do you think happens to the plastic when it can't be recycled anymore?

You have to do your own risk-benefit analysis. Currently, I think I'm more likely to become seriously ill from the vaccine than from the Omicron Covid Virus. My last Moderna vaccine caused me Pericarditis and in the Autumn of 2022 my Mother had the bivalent Moderna vaccine booster and the next day suffered a blood clot which caused a stroke and brain bleed - she passed away shortly after. She had recently had a full medical check-up at the hospital to ascertain her fitness for surgery (knee replacement) and was passed as fit.

I used to think the age of consent in Thailand was 15 but it is only 15 under certain circumstances. The 15-year-old can only give consent legally if the act happens at their registered family address and if it happens outside the family home then the parents have to give permission otherwise the girl or her family can complain of statutory rape. In effect, this makes the unfettered Thai age of consent to sex to be 18 years of age. We saw this recently in the case of the 20-something English teacher having a relationship with a 16-year-old girl and her family complaining of rape.

Antibiotics do not help with viruses and they slow down your recovery by suppressing your immune system

So if Thailand did this I would be very happy as I'm a resident of Thailand and have ID to prove it. It would be much fairer than their current system.

That's pretty much true of most Capital cities. When I worked in London I would book a hotel on the outskirts with a car park and near the underground. I would travel to client's offices on the bus or train and never use my car. I love Bangkok but my wife doesn't so we live in her home city Nakhonsawan.
