Fully agree. And what's the difference? You always need some "master" key/password to open your password safe/list. My sensitive data is a textfile in a container encrypted with VeraCrypt. Stored locally with three backups on other notebook. mobile phone and external drive. I open it with the masterpassword and the rest is pure manual "work" (copy/paste). Additionally I print the text file incl masterpassword on a regular basis and lock it in the safe.

Do you know that this is/will would be a decision for autonomous driving? Steer into power pole/moat and probably kill you, run over motorbike or frontal crash with a (mini) bus?

Maybe someone can confirm. But never reported here that I can remember. Sounds like I am wrong: https://twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1528658385935437826

Ok, didn't know about that. The chaos and queues currently seem to result from new security screening.

Depends on how far and convenient your immigration office is. With the reported terrible chaos at Suvarnabhumi departure I wouldn't want another task to do. Often the zone 2 entry is closed (saw that on my own), so there must be some walking detour to do. As far as I know you don't get a multiple re-entry permit at the airport? Only single.

Unfortunately that does not apply for the 2 year temporary license. It's exactly 2 years from date of issue. DLT "e-learning" is recommended. Results in a "certificate" to be printed or shown as QR code on the smartphone. Then no video watching at the office. Only physical tests (eye, reaction). https://www.dlt-elearning.com/

No you have to wait for Monday. Expect no problem

That's the pragmatic way to go. Nowhere does it say you have to wait for a reminder.

Same to me. There is whole bunch of "accessibility" functions. There are a couple of videos about it. This one refers to Android 12. I have 13 and can't exactly reproduce what is described. But this screenshot from the video would well explain that they don't allow the app to run with such feature on.

The month of April often comes with ground breaking innovations.

The peanut butter bomber. And really, how much better can you hide your Semtex Nothing compared to my big tube of Swiss mustard A short moment of inattention and it landed in the wrong bag. Get over it and be happy it was not a 5000 Baht perfume for the lady.

Quickly blaming the van driver is easy. But did you read and understand this: In other words, a truck will never slow down/break for motorcycle in the way, just pull over. Oncoming traffic has to see where to go. On the rare occasion that I ride a motorbike on an open highway I drive as far left as possible not caring about white lines, hard shoulder etc.

Yes the red giant will eat us all.

This Bangkok public mass transport was and is a joke compared to leading countries/cities. Tiny network, highly complicated fare rules split into multiple operators. Paying on a station by station counting for single rides on the crowded BTS. "Red line", 41.3 km, 25000 passengers per day, 2000 Baht a month

TomTaxi service worked for me both ways a couple of times. Always waiting, proper limo. 1000 Baht all incl. https://www.tomtaxiservice.com/

As a child I was much interested in astronomy. Should I have gone this way? I could predict that the sun will explode in x billion years and no one can hold me responsible ????

Even for Thailand such a late announcement would be unusual. It would have to be communicated to embassies, consulates, airline database etc.etc. And now contradicting my own argument: do you remember the extreme confusion about COVID test/certificate requirement still needed after October 2022? I think it was overthrown within two days and led to much confusion, people denied boarding etc.

Nothing to shed on just that they usually stick to official rules. Selling times: 11:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 24:00 (midnight). No sale on Buddhist holidays and other dry days. But really: if you are on motorbike tour there so many roadside mom/pop shops, street food places to buy a beer. They often don't take it too serious with the rules.

Timing Chain โซ่เพลาลูกเบี้ยว Timing belt สายพานเพลาลูกเบี้ยว Timing chains should last longer than 100k. I had a similar difficult discussion at my Mazda dealer/service at 140k. Now I have a handwritten notice on the bill saying 180000 km. I have not made the effort to decipher handwritten text You could do a last try with your dealer and then follow advice for a "farang friendly" garage. I know that there are such in the Pattaya area. Was too lazy to go there on last visit.

The problem is that I feel unwell to be the only (farang) without a mask at 7/11, malls etc. After a few days in maskless Pattaya I do first stop at a pump in Isan and basically all people walk with masks even on the parking lot. When you see people here without mask it's usually not the rural folks but neatly dressed city dwellers. Down with the masks where they make absolutely no sense! Funny enough: mask on the motorbike can be argued about. With that amount of dust and stinky Diesel fumes it might make sense

? You sold cars and the new owner has not been registered in the blue book? (which is only possible at the DLT) Or was there an "agent" involved.

ID cards for adult Thais are valid for 8 years (8th birthday after issue date). Similar to Thai DL one can get up to 9 years if going just after expiry (which is the birthday). ID cards issued after the age of 60 are "LIFELONG".

Yes. But your question sounded like there is some exceptional situation where the number might be changed. And as written I am not aware about.

I don't know about a legal way for a person being Thai national by birth. Citizen ID being determined at the birth certificate. Changes could happen for foreigners becoming permanent residents and naturalized persons? But happy to hear more insight.

As far as I know you can go to any PEA office for the billing purpose. One major office is on the Hua Yai rd. near Soi 7. Here: https://goo.gl/maps/prE6D8d68dCRU7ga7 Should be closer than the Naklua office far north? Streetview is from Jan 2022:
