the thai army and government say that cambodia attacked first. the cambodian army and government say the thai side started it. so who can you believe? the thai government and army are corrupt, they lie, cheat, and kill people without justice ... and the same is true for cambodia. what is clear: only the both governments (and not the ordinary people who are now suffering) are responsible for this conflict .... instead of arguing about who started it, the focus should be on solving the conflict. i know this is a difficult task because neither government can be trusted ... both are corrupt, dishonest, selfish, and ruthless ...

happened to me as well ... i had the key with me and accidentally triggered the kick sensor 555 … but as khun JBChiangRai already explained, there’s no reason to worry. the motor is weak, and you can always open or close the trunk door manually, if needed ...

... a good and easy start would be to go after the corrupt police officers who are involved in drug deals ...

i’m not sure who i should trust more … the shinawatra or a monk … probably neither of them ...

... i would say the real problem is to find and keep the very few good and honest ones ...

nothing has changed in the current tax law … the rules about transfers from abroad are still the same as the ones newly introduced in 2024 … there was a proposal for a possible change in the law that might come into effect in 2026, and that was in the news, but whether this change will actually happen is still uncertain …

unfortunately, bureaucracy has become even more ridiculous in recent years ... i used to think it couldn't get any worse, but i was wrong. the idea of making things simpler, more efficient, or easier for people just doesn't exist here ... knowing that the locals also have to deal with the same mess doesn’t help much either. as a foreigner, there’s only one way to deal with it: stay quiet, keep your head down, and just do what they are asking for … TIT ...

good to know they will never find out you tricked them ... thanks for your farsighted and reliable advice ...

i'm not up to date with the visa rules and regulations. how is it legally possible to simply move to thailand with a young family and decide to live here ?

what you experienced and learned in just one day took me several weeks ... you seem to be a fast learner compared to me ... to everyone, enjoy your ev (as i do) and drive safely ...

... by now it should be clear to everyone that the shinawatras are not the solution ... ... but it seems some people still believe teflon toni is the answer to thailand's future ...

don’t take the risk … for example, just drive to a PEA charging station, and you or your wife can easily top up the wallet for charging ...

i hope no one will claim that teflon toni is a better person than hun sen, just because fewer people were killed in extrajudicial killings (war on drugs) under thaksin as prime minister than under the khmer rouge with hun sen ... https://www.hrw.org/news/2008/03/12/thailands-war-drugs ... In February 2003, the Thai government, under then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, launched a 'war on drugs', purportedly aimed at the suppression of drug trafficking and the prevention of drug use. In fact, a major outcome of this policy was arbitrary killings. In the first three months of the campaign there were some 2800 extrajudicial killings.

what's wrong with the shinawatras? they are playing a very dangerous game. they still think they can do whatever they want (and playing the victim) and never face any consequences. it's the same arrogant and stubborn attitude teflon toni had back in 2004, which ended up causing the military coup ... i really hope hun sen responds appropriately ... with some pictures and video's would be nice ...

i had to solve a similar problem helping an elderly lady, and it took several bank appointments. she wanted to get several thousand baht of withholding tax refunded. in the end, we ad to open a new bank account at krungthai bank for her, and she received the full tax refund.. now, this lady should no longer have any issues claiming back the withholding tax in the future ... my tip: even though it's tedious and time-consuming, the bureaucratic monster in thailand can be defeated ...
