I remember for sure that the 6 month rule for Thailand has been abolished. "Valid for period of stay in Thailand". "Passengers must hold a valid passport with at least 2 blank pages." https://www.traveldoc.aero/results Check with your airline. Can't find a full TIMATIC query publicly available anymore. (TIMATIC is the reference for all IATA airlines)

So he should have known about the speed bumps. Ignoring on a two wheeler is a very bad idea. On the other hand it is a shame and typical neglect that many speed bumps are barely visible particularly in the night. They are meant to be clearly visible to remind drivers to slow down. They are not meant to be invisible death traps.

US Homeland Security chief looses her purse in DC
KhunBENQ replied to bendejo's topic in Political Soapbox
About 7? billion who don't. I use cashless where I find it appropriate. Not at 7/11 for the brownie. Never physically use a foreign credit card in Thailand. Rarely having less than 10k Baht with me when going out. -
US Homeland Security chief looses her purse in DC

What a charming lady. -
It was in the 1990s and the natural features are not easy found in another developed country (with all the infrastructure). Volcanoes, desert and green jungle within an hour drive. Is Lahaina still a heap of ash or rebuilt? Really moved me to learn about this catastrophic fire. Hawaii is more than Waikiki. Thailand is more than Patong.

Stay away. And that is what more and more potential USA tourists do. Travel agencies are worried about oncoming seasons. There other more welcoming countries. 4 hours at the immigration queue, mobile phones searched. Confiscated and denied entry when refusing to provide passwords etc. Indiscriminate assumptions like in this and other cases. Now think of you to come to Thailand for 60 days. Having booked whole trip? Any Thailand critical stuff on your devices? You look like you want to to work here! -> off to detention.

Economy Thailand Braces for Blowback From US-China Trade War
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Tarrifs up to about 3500% on solar cells from Chinese owned factories in Thailand and Cambodia. Basically a hidden import ban. German solar cell industry has already been destroyed by Chinese imports. Similar with wind turbines. -
So this is a "sister" of the established Lunar Beach House on Pratamnak/Jomtien. Been there once. Found the new location on Instagram ("thelunarbeachhouse").

Economy Rising Egg Prices in Thailand Strain Consumers and Businesses
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The trays are 30 eggs. Last price here was 120 Baht (medium size). 4 Baht, about 12 US cent per egg. Tell our US fellows that this is an egg price crisis Pack of 10 and 30 is indeed styleless. Traditionely it was 12 (dozen) and multiples. -
Can only tell from experience with Samsung and Redmi. Since long smartphones can be setup to a myriad of different languages like 70 or more. Also one can switch between languages. The only trick is to find the setting via the respecting symbols. If you buy the phone it might be useful to switch/setup to English at first. Either by the shop assistant or a setup guide SW of factory new phone. From there it is not too difficult to change to Thai language. Motorola is not very widespread here from what I see. Some online deals on Lazada. So you can be sure that it is possible to setup Thai language

Can you tell what you need to get a postpaid? Bank account? Deposit? Work permit? Visa/extension? -
Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
KhunBENQ replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Questions, questions... One way flight, country of residence... I bet that there will be a veritable chaos at immigration on May 1st and following. Be aware that the TDAC is already worked in at TIMATIC (the airlines information system). So be prepared to show it at check-in (maybe). -
With the speed of Voyager 1 (started 1977, distance now about one light day) the 124 light year trip would take roughly 50 million years. Who invents warp speed spaceship? I find this research "interesting" if it doesn't cost me money. Those researchers will never have to proof their findings. Send a query to those aliens and expect an answer in no earlier than 248 years.

Let's say: in the bar is still different to the public on the street. Love hearts 😁 nipple pads are common.
