So in Berlin you will then see topless women (and don't assume it's the young aesthetic figures first) side by side with burkini swimmers (no joke!).

Good to know it's a Jomtien problem only

As I wrote in another thread: China will build two new coal fired plants per week(!). Wladimir will supply coal for a friendship price. They now have about 900 gigawatts of coal based electrical power alone. US has 25. Total(!) installed electrical power in Germany about 218 GW.

From German news (raw Google translate):

Stuffed full. And I don't understand what your question means in relation to the crazy strike actions planned in Germany. Air traffic and long distance rail traffic coming to a halt. They would simply not be able to land in FRA or MUC. Even tomorrow (Sunday) no Lufthansa flights to/from Munich. Government has lifted weekend driving ban for heavy trucks.

Sports, Hobbies & Activities forum? Badly misplaced?

I would be dead sick in a few days with that. In the night we have the AC in the bedroom at 26. Never have ACs running 24/7. Though currently at 40 C (104 F) more usage during the day. Two storey house with three persons, currently four. BTW: 4 Baht/unit is a thing of the past. Our latest bill was 1557 Baht/275 units = 5.7 Baht/unit. And 275 units is less than the highest scale that starts at 400 units. Next month I expect a much higher bill (highest ever was ~3200). Granddaughter is on visit and in worst case we have up to four ACs running. Three through the night.

On third floor of the green 10 storey building?? The red and orange marked stuff is for children.

Yes, just found a Facebook post from yesterday. With Google translate: They reduce the schedule to every Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Pfizer Total cost 1380 Baht for foreigners. I don't want to use more of the automated translation without manual check.

Indeed. In Pattaya it's some troublemakers as drunk as a skunk. In Phuket it's crash pilots on Patong hill. No statistics needed for number of tourists.

And the Chinese build two new coal fired power plants per week adding to the existing base of more than 900 GW (USA about 25 GW). So rest of world, increase your efforts!

No need to regularly renew. Would cut into profit. Renew when snapped. Easy. Big wai and point to the disclaimer that customer signed before jump. I read an article in German and that also sounds much different from "all OK" by hospital, never had accident before bla bla. One big bunch of liars.

I use PEA app monthly to pay via Bangkok direct debit and it's not rocket science. Of course I need to logon to Bangkok Bank like in similar online payments. Why PEA is not on the list at Bangkok Bank while MEA is?

It might be worth to go through this recent thread: (this thread is from July 22 and from what I read things have not improved particularly through some new security screening system)

Making a big fuzz about smoking under open sky but turning blind eye to the chaos on the roads. So disproportionate.

What's so different? And how can they manage to reach their horrific mass visitor numbers without Chinese and Indians? In Pattaya the Chinese were still few compared to the Russians. And that Germans outnumber Brits won't happen there

Deeply rooted part of Thai culture. Face saving more important than anything. Grin and wai.

If it needed more indication about Phuket tourism on the rise, it's these daily accident reports. Let's hope there won't be multiple deaths anytime soon.

You need a driving license to ride a scooter but no license to raise and mistreat children.

Just do it. Have someone to take the video and contribute to the forum. Wonder what drugs you are on.

Let's hope that the story and it's handling/cover up/hush money now make it to an even wider audience in other countries as a warning. Leaves me speechless. Crooks.

My experience: Cardless withdrawals are free nationwide. There is no limit for the number of withdrawals. Can only be used at your banks ATM (for which you have internet banking). The latter is obvious as the methods differ widely from scanning an OCR to entering a magic number from the internet app. K-Bank is really easy. Still will have cards. 1) use debit card number for online purchase/payments and at some point of sales terminals. 2) cards can be used at any other of the big banks ATMs (cash pool). Four times per calendar month within the region without a fee. Outside for a fee like 15 or 20 Baht .

Just repeating from above. Inspection, tax, insurance can be done everywhere in Thailand. Not bound to residence or sign plate. Millions of Bangkok registered vehicles drive around the country. Heaven helps it they all have to drive to Bangkok anually! Don't bother. Move and then go to "yellow cogwheel" workshop and let them take care. (of course you can do it all your own but just saves you some 1xx or 2xx Baht)

Sometimes I think similar. Move out of the village and build a tiny house for me Have solar power, deep well/water pump and mobile internet. What more do I need? You can't be far enough from neighbors.

Copy of the relevant pages carrying is useful. No need/too much risk to carry passport with you anytime. But separate this from the need to be able to produce the original passport e.g. at hotel check-in, bank counter and most unlikely immigration police (at least be able to get it from nearby condo/hotel whatever). On multiday/overnight trips I always take the passport with me and lock away after arrival. Never would I leave for a month without having my passport. No luck at the bank, no chance to flee Do you have a Thai driving license or other photo ID?
