  1. Cherng Talay police station in Phuket doesn't display any penalties in Thai or English. They laughed when we asked. 

     

    The traffic police showed us a set of typewritten photocopied sheets listing penalties. 

     

    #30 Obstructing the traffic is 400 to 1,000 Baht. Having read this article, and just been fined 500 Baht for parking a scooter behind other scooters outside the solid white line on the road, we went to check, as the article says 200 Baht.

     

    After some friendly discussion, and hearing that a local whom the officer had picked up for obstructing the traffic had jumped on his scooter and driven off penalty-free, the fine was reduced to 300 Baht. 

     

    As to why that should be, I don't know but my Thai wife, whose scooter it is, spoke to them and they obliged. 

     

    I haven't been able to find any list of penalties on the Thai Police's website but it would be helpful if anyone has the link to post it. 

  2. I've been with 3BB for a couple of years, and use several high-number ports to access my server when I'm away. Recently these stopped working.

    My 3BB router is set up as a modem; all control including logon and routing is from a separate box.

    I checked whether 3BB is blocking ports by connecting a PC directly to the modem and logging onto 3BB with the PC's firewall off. With the internet connected I tested standard ranges of ports plus my own ports from www.grc.com ShieldsUp. You can read more about this on their site.

    All are returning 'stealth' indicating that none of the ports are letting traffic through.

    Since it isn't my pc, it's 3BB.
