It depends on whether it is left or right hand drive. They make both.

Link please to where they admitted to cloud seeding two weeks ago in the middle of monsoon season when the country is flooded.

Er, ok.

Yep, just changed providers, they came and took pictures.

More typical AN paranoid nonsense. I have been treated extremely fairly whenever I have had police involved in traffic accidents (once my fault, once not my fault although the other driver tried to blame me). Both were with Thonglor police who are notoriously bent. Very fair, very respectful. Use your brain and many reasons come to mind and they are nothing to do with dual treatment. As others have mentioned perhaps he had been drinking and the Thai hadn't, perhaps he has no license and his Thai mate let him have a go at 5am, perhaps he has no insurance. Perhaps he is fearful for his job as a serious offence can strip you of your WP so he asked the Thai to take the rap. Please remove the chip from your shoulder, I don't know how you people carry them around with you.

I know about Royal Rain Making. They do this during the height of the drought season (around Jan-March), usually in northern Thailand to help bring rain and / or extinguish forest fires. Sometimes they do it to prevent big hail storms (it hastens the precipitation before ice crystals have chance to form). But your assertion that they are still doing this to make rain in monsoon season and that they should just stop and make it nice and sunny for tourists is one of the most ludicrous things I have read on here - and that is saying something. So, come on, I am waiting to be educated. Show me where they are cloud seeding in the middle of rainy season and localised flooding. I can't wait for this education!

What????

10 million baht was a compromise agreed by all parties for doing this.

Maybe they are not very good?

Here the government advice in July 2021 about how to self isolate at home if you have Covid. And (anecdotal I know) my friend tested positive for Covid in the Phuket sandbox in November 2021 and they were allowed to isolate in their room until they tested negative. No hospital, no hospitel. Honestly, they dropped that thing long ago.

Do you get that nervous / anxious over every single thing you read??

Considering that hospitalisation / hospitelisation hasn't been a requirement for well over a year, no, obviously.

No it isn't. It is written on the side of a rickety old red and white bus that has probably never seen a tourist in its 50 years of service. And honestly I had no problem understanding it, I'm not sure what the big deal is here.

Really? How many people in this thread have ripped someone's face off?

Not as attractive as my wife. I see better on the Skytrain Doesn't look Thai. There are more attractive farmers. Think she's a ladyboy. There we go. That will save a lot of people the bother, we can close this thread now.

Feel free to stand by it. I stand by my assertion that is a company (large or small) is caught cheating taxes and breaking laws they should expect to be punished and should not just be let off in order to not give out a "bad look". If you do that then everyone knows they can act with impunity and Thailand will be too scared to take them to court less it be seen badly. You are aware that there are also two corruption investigations ongoing; one in Thailand and a federal US enquiry that are looking into allegations that Toyota paid several million dollars in an attempt to bribe Supreme Court judges to overturn their tax dodging conviction. https://www.law360.com/articles/1495998?scroll=1&related=1 But yeah, this is bad form by Thailand, Toyota should be let off the hook because, erm, just because.

Mercedes too. Car assembly factory and also a battery plant.

What are you talking about?? Just more racist anti Thai rubbish with no basis in truth. Yawn.

Because Covid is always going to be with us and we will always need a vaccine for it. If Thailand can produce their own it will save the country million and millions in the long run.

Correct. GM left but that had absolutely nothing to do with "stupid import taxes". It had to do with GM's general demise in this region. The Thai factory used to make Holdens but they killed that brand and also withdrew from many LHD markets. And guess what, they didn't go to Vietnam! You are trying to bring logic against what is just one more general, ignorant, automatic anti-Thai comment in this thread. You may as well urinate into the wind.

So a company can cheat on import duties to the value of 10 billion baht and it should just be waived to show good will. That would show the world that companies can come and work in Thailand and just do what they want because they will be let off. Brilliant. Have you read the detailed court verdict? Have you read the cases of both sides? Where do you get your information from that says this is the tax department being short sighted and dumb? Or are you just saying that because it is Thailand and Thailand must be wrong? Toyota have already said they will comply and pay up. I haven't read the detailed judgement or the detailed cases of either side. I therefore am in no place to make a judgement. And I am sure that is the case for every other poster here. Yet you all jump to the same automatic conclusion that Thailand = wrong.

Because he didn't read it is my guess.

I thought Swedish Plogging might have been something else entirely. Disappointed.

I see this posted so often on here but it is another TVF myth. They weren't turned down, they were asked for their help. Where does this nonsense come from? https://www.dutchwatersector.com/news/dutch-experts-helped-thai-authorities-to-combat-bangkok-floods https://reliefweb.int/report/thailand/thailand-and-netherlands-will-cooperate-tackling-floods

You could try Lumpini Place Srinakarin. Fairly new, good pool and facilities (it seems, I have never been in). Maybe a two minute walk to Hua Mark ARL for the airport which also connects to MRT and BTS. 24 hour supermarket on your doorstep. And at the end of this year / early next year the yellow line opens and there is a station right outside the condo. Two bedrooms generally around 20k but I see some for 16k or so. https://propertyhub.in.th/en/condo-for-rent/project-lumpini-place-srinakarin-huamark-station
