  1. Who can tell but you? As I live here I always select money for long term stay in Thailand. All transfers come as international money transfer to Bangkok Bank next day. Recently I did a test to Kasikorn using personal expense. Arrived in seconds and labeled as money from abroad(too).
  2. Yes what I wanted to say. Higher level can overrule/grant exceptions.
  3. Very true at the "desk" level. These officers have to present the documents to the next level superior for signing (where "discretion" might start). A marriage extension goes to the regional commanders office. No officer wants the application he worked on to be denied. Corruption starts at higher levels.
  4. Last May was catastrophic. The article gives some hope it will be hot as usual.
  5. Let's add some others who might be drug fueled or on a suicidal mission. Last Sunday I drove down motorway 7 and some of what I saw is just frightening.
  6. 5% on falling asleep at midnight. Will they test his alcohol level? We will never know.
  7. Not funny for the lady. I can't help but grin. And don't expect milk from this "cow" 🤣 "Darling my buffalo eat neighbors banana'
  8. Mother and her two year old daughter have died. Two more for the statistics. And the politicians will use the usual phrases. "Our thoughts are with the relatives..." bla bla
  9. Yes he is an idiot. But two months suspended for that? Can we expect that much worse (local) idiots are treated equally??
  10. Came through open borders in 2016 as an unaccompanied minor. Asylum declined the year after. And then? Nothing. Typical Merkels heritage. The untypical: smart western style look, bodybuilding athlete, posing in front of his mini Cooper. Significant follower numbers on social media. Only very subtle indications that he never gave up on radical Islam. Is he what you call a ticking time bomb?
  11. And remember: these are just three fatal bike accidents making it to news here. The other 30 or more of the day go unnoticed. No mention of alcohol. Oh forgot it was alcohol ban 🙄
  12. You can't make this up. Crazy speeding, horrible maneuvers, throwing their life away. No pity at all.
  13. Google translate from a German media:
  14. YES. They are NOT Swiss. Google translate from Swiss media: I would expect they will end in a US high security prison. They ripped 17 Swiss companies. That's why Switzerland issued the arrest warrant. Misc international police forces were contributing.
  15. Fatal misjudgement. 331 in this area has a total of six lanes plus two frontage roads with two lanes each. All separated with guardrails and a ditch. I last drove there in November and fortunately no pedestrian seen trying this dangerous manoeuver. When I first drove 331 on holiday in the mid 2000s or so it was a two lane rural highway.
  16. Poor girls. Thaifriendly should be overflowing today. See the good side of things
  17. Saw it first on an Instagram video and thought it's an AI driven fake
  18. Absolutely stay under the radar. It's a mystery to me why people rush to tax offices to meet clueless officers. What can happen in worst case? You might be addressed, file tax return and maybe pay backward and a fine/interest. No prison time to expect.
  19. Rumor is that after the catastrophic flood of 2011 they have bought safe land/houses. I look down on that from 230 m above
  20. That's a tough requirement. Browsed through the 30 fastest connections and only AirCanada via Vancouver does 787 on both legs (can't see whether "-9"). Starts with long leg: 8:35 AM to 6:55 AM (13h 20m) 8:40 AM to 4:51 PM (5h 11m) Others do 787 only on short leg within Asia.
  21. Turkish has a good reputation. Overnight flight starts at 10:50 PM, arrive 11:15 AM. It's two ~11 hour legs, 1:50 stopover. (other connections available) Cathay has the fastest connection (total 19:25 hours) but you have to endure an ultra long haul (15:35 hours, A350). Starts in the morning 11:50 AM, arrive 7:05 PM. All looked for a Saturday departure. I was surprised that all faster trips go east. Must have to do with easier direct routes.
  22. Strange. Loads fine.
  23. Found the website of the company (Thai only). The product as such might be discontinued? https://www.purefilter.com/product-category
