    Only had to do depth perception, reaction , another colour test, and peripheral vision tests.

    Did the doctor provide the new style medical certificate? I.e. you didn't need to ask for the new style

    Yes he did....

    Was clearly well aware of what is now required....

    Quite simple. Wait until there is not more than 3 months validly on your temporary licence then make sure that you have one of the correct visas or extensions of stay, then renew the licence you will get a 5 year one. (Minimum visa non-O, minimum extension of stay probably 3 months, 1 year extension is certainly OK)

     

    AFIK you are not able to renew any earlier than the 3 months before expiration date.

     

    You can certainly go into any LTO (or even many) and ask if very much earlier renewal is possible, however I don't think you will Be lucky.

    Which of these drugs was addictive?

    Those tablets on the white A4 sheet in the police pic sure look like Yaba to me.

    And the police have already confirmed his possession of Methamphetamine.

    Highly addictive both, I understand.....

    "Methamphetamine - meth for short - is a very addictive stimulant drug."

    Can post a bunch of links if you don't believe it.

    The Yaba tablets are a mix of Meth and caffeine, which I assume is for the extra buzz......normally crushed smoked and inhaled through a flavored liquid such as vanilla.

    There are places I've been where opium was legal and alcohol illegal.

    Alcohol should be illegal, of ganja and other drugs are.

     

    Have you ever driven a car after drinking alcohol?

     

     

    I am afraid Thailand is not one of those places......

    And, yes, because I was too pissed to walk, driving under the influence of drink or drugs are equally unacceptable.....?

    Interesting, what is morally worse, a bar owner or a drug dealer?

    We know alcohol is the number one offender.

    How many here that are happy a drug dealer died, are frequent alcohol imbibers?

    OK I will rise to that bait......

    "Interesting, what is morally worse, a bar owner or a drug dealer?"

    So it's about morals is it?.......Law breaking irrelevant?.......The bar owner is "Legally" supplying to the demand of people buying his product "legally"

    Alcohol is not an offender, though everyone accepts that if abused, the effects can be horrendous.

    I am not "happy" that a life has been lost, but he was engaging in an illegal activity, that he has brought about himself at some stage in his life.

    I like a drink, I do it legally and sensibly, how about you sir?

    The main think I check, if the rooms have individual AC units, is whether the filters have been cleaned, mostly I've found they haven't.  Often clogged with dust and muck.  Blast them out in the shower then re-install.  Some have looked like they've not been cleaned in a year or more.

    You are spot on.

    I always check the filters if the aircon seems to be not as efficient as it should.

    I reckon 8 out of ten I have looked at all over Thailand are clogged up so badly as to seriously hinder the performance.

    And clearly if the filters are dirty it is highly likely no other maintenance has been done since the things were fitted.. .

    and now you are being obtuse. 

    i am merely pointing out that this is not a one off mad rant that is incomprehensible to the natives.

    I am pointing out that he is not unknown and has a following of sorts among a number of people (local  - - as in thai local) that are not unaware, and not unappreciative of what he does.

    thai visa wrote yet another post without proper background that panders to the misery and schadenfreude that gains them ad traffic and the general populace of wretched gits that have chosen to settle here with their wives as their sole point of contact to the local world have jumped upon it with vigor, assuming stances of righteous indignation over the actions of a person who actually is a contributing member of the local community and whose humor seems to be appreciated by at least some of those able to understand it.

    this is classic thai visa,  throw in a hooker, a katoey, and a story of infidelity and lost savings and its another good money day.

    No ....not obtuse..

    Just sarcastic.... 

    I know exactly how the posted video was meant to garner certain views, and the lack of background information helps with that.

    Mischiefmaking?....yes.

    I agree with your views.

    Sigh.

     

     

    70,000 followers eh....

    Just think how many Jesus would have had , if YouTube had been available to him.....Or have you never hesrd of him?

    Sigh..  

  10. Speaking as a retired police driver, reversing in to a parking slot is something I do without thinking, as doing so has always been taught, and failing to do so always brought about a bollocking from a senior officer, if you left your vehicle the other way around in a police station car park, or seen anywhere else.

    Simple reasoning .....time saved on an emergency call out could save a life....

    These habits stick with you....
