Slight technical problem ,????

Showing the speed of 114 is not the smartest move. 24 over the limit in the night on unlit road. Totally careless. There are countries where you would be heavily penalized just for that. And killing a pedestrian from this negligence would bring you to prison.

You have opened two threads now and I am confused. Other thread says "visa run". But your question seems about domestic flights Udon Thani -> Don Mueang -> Surat Thani with a one hour layover at Don Mueang?

Don't know whether AirAsia is better but my experiences with Thaismile lst year were bad. Two examples: Flight reschedule announced three hours before departure. Delay of more than 2 hours in the afternoon. It has never been that bad during COVID. And one hour from domestic to international with immigration checkpoint? I would not risk it. On the other hand: didn't find any delayed arrival of AirAsia at Don Mueang today(!). Where you come from, where you go to?

Travelled domestically10 times during COVID times (any many more since 2011) to different hotels and never done TM30. No complaints at immigration/90 day report. First time was after border run to Laos and applying for Non-O at immigration.

Possible since long. Did it in July 22. Can't comment on visa, I am visa exempt. At the time no checks for COVID vax. In the meantime there were reports that Laos checks vax. status. I am not up-to-date on that.

Last time must be a while ago. Rule has changed. Medical cert. for every new/renewal since maybe 3(?) years (could look it up).

At our office (Khon Kaen province) always yes. I have book and pink card. Both with me and copies. From another post today: two original medical cert. needed. No copy (I had done only motorcycle license today)

Easy walk in today here in upcountry. 12h in, apply. Wait until 13h for test. Out 13:50h. https://aseannow.com/topic/1283526-drivers-licence-renewal/?do=findComment&comment=17848384

Thai bureaucraZy at it's best ????

That has changed by new rule. Maybe two or three years ago. Always needed (makes some sense).

Done. 11:30 at the doctor, certificate, 100 Baht. 12:00 walk in at DLT (no queue/appointment). Copies of passport, yellow book, pink card. Medical cert, old DL, eLearning QR printout. Told to come back 13:00(!). About 15 applicants for tests. Colorblindness Reaction Depth perception Picture taken 13:50 out with new DL. 255 Baht. That's how it works out here.

Seems to depend on what machine is defect or not ???? Years ago there was color blindness and reaction test. Watch some people at reaction and wouldn't want to have them driving behind me ????

Mandatory? Maybe not but then you have sit at the office tutoring and watch age old videos in Thai?

It's the "DLT eLearning" where you register: https://www.dlt-elearning.com It consistent of four videos, two in Thai with subtitles and two in English. Although they are nothing but YouTube videos you have to watch them completely within that website. About one hour. A few questions popup at random times. A few clips from Australian and Canadian traffic offices are mixed in. Mostly some shocking stuff about accident victims. In the end a personal website link with the QR code opens. Print/save/bookmark on mobile. I just made it and today will try to apply at our DLT. Will report back.

Brilliant communication. No names, no useful hints except "have little money", "spread it" ???? Worse fear mongering is hardly possible. Keep it under the pillow?! I use online banking since ages even with a system before the internet banking came up via phone. And knock on wood not a single Deutschmark, Swiss Franc, Euro or Baht has ever gone for unknown reasons. Robbed by the biggest Swiss bank. Greedy speculators bailed out. Worse than money under the pillow.

Not the first time such a terrible accident with cyclist has happened. Also remember tragic deaths of "round the world" cyclists who found their end in Thailand.

Cool down. Driver unharmed. And I doubt he owns anything of the truck or the load. And even the load is little affected, some burnt tips in front. Trailer not at all. More sugar cane for the Mitraphap (company) billionaire carted on Mitraphap highway

At least the series of "female power" (three female def.min. in series) is broken. One worse than the previous one. A now state interior minister (Boris Pistorius) will follow. As hesitant Olaf has lifted gender quota to a religious believe he would now have to do another re-shuffle.

There have been three(!) consecutive price hikes at PTT (which gives the direction). And I bet: you pay for the price cap of Diesel since many months. Filling up the "oil fund", Next rise 0.30 Baht from tomorrow morning. Diesel still capped at 35 (Bangkok, slightly higher upcountry).

"happy day" or "lucky day"? There was another poster who had a browser hijack virus on his device. Not sure whether yours is the same. In this case it's on you to fix.

Do you have a quotable source for that? Just browsed through some stuff. Not much details found but a wording like "simple majority"?

Of course proper hotels have to register you at immigration. But I never had complaints about not reporting back home with TM30.

Yes, but in such a system it requires more than a wafer-thin majority to override basic/fundamental rights and/or constitution. Separation of powers is well proven concept for countries that call themselves democracies. And it's more and more hard to name Israel as the "only democracy in the middle east".
