Already noticed and commented my error.

Tons of at Lazada. But with different power specs (10 W, 20 W, ...). And one found ship from overseas. Would not do that. Can you read any print on the sockets?

Looks like good old Halogen low voltage. Just seen you are in Pattaya. Would be surprised if there is no shop in town with such stuff.

These thread titles need a date stamp Can't count how many Pattaya flooded videos and news I have seen over the days. It's indeed exceptional this year.

Have you ever checked prices at a private clinic? Beauty/boobs clinic is my guess.

Oh I overlooked this. Australian Anna Coren going back to Hong Kong (her station)? British Daniel Hodge, photojournalist, also Hong Kong.

Yes like for me. Did border run on July 17th and applied July 19th. Approval date of Non-O: August 2nd. Admitted until October 30th. Recently (October 4th) applied for one year extension. Approved until Oct 30th, 2023. You can not determine ahead when the Non-O is approved. Quite arbitrary.

"Many Russians on BKK-HKT flight" Landing in Bangkok and "fleeing" to Phuket one of the most expensive spots in the country? Must be rich refugees. Or have relatives there?

Another Thai in a rush to get nowhere for nothing. Overtaking in the night here requires extreme precaution particularly on unlit roads.

Professional media have their reporter in the region (like BBC) or engage freelancers.

Unfortunately yes. Same stories every day. And the xx other killed motorcyclists won't make it to English language news. Just that some such media are around.

Interesting twist in the case. They are cleared for entering the premises but fined for working on tourist visas Guess they should be en route to US already. Tourist visa should have triggered questions from the beginning. So unprofessional.

Sounds plausible. Closer than Pattaya but missing the opportunity for a return fare. Make sure price includes toll.

After feeding it to Google English to German it sounds similarly confusing.

Sure because batteries can run empty. And needing a physical key is still better than every parking assistant knowing some master pin. At good hotels only specially trusted staff have access or know how to open. Sometimes can mean wait for the person. For early checkout I open the safe before going to sleep.

My thought too and my guess is he opened the safe for a "cash donation" to his guest and then been distracted.

Fortunately these 999 Baht types are not standard in "half decent" hotels. But yes there are master keys/override pins etc. It all comes down to the trustworthyness if the hotel. Never lost a Baht in 18 years. And not storing more cash than needed for a day. K Bank card always with me. The real concern is the passport. Sometimes I miss the old fashioned locker boxes at reception where you can bring your own locker. And overall the story is fishy regarding the "visitors".

After posting I was thinking before if I should ????

Yes they can kick foreign reporters but everybody afraid to criticize this obscene show for Mr. P. and other VIPs. And there is the other person no. 1. for whom there is no exception to the medieval rules. Thai people have a long way to go.

THE solution. Often enough I tell a mate why don't you put the amount on a fixed deposit account. No access with card/ATM, payment/internet possible.

Haha New trend is copies of all pages of the bankbook even the empty ones. Would need a very sleepy officer to overlook the missing page. The numbers are quite big in watermark style.

A lively Sunday morning.

Two CNN reporters who invaded the day care center where the mass killing took place to have some "exclusive content" have been taken care by Big Joke himself. CNN wants to have it look as a misunderstanding. https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid028mQmVHrnatcdCcqBLxqT31htNR1B5AmopqChLkM1UPR1R1AnZZDgeB5EJGUA9M2Yl https://www.facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish/posts/pfbid02VHN36Kp2G7HV7mHREc8h7wdPcnKyKkeHXCQniPCvGYKdoAjo9mzivdzUuiH7EXA6l

And if? Assuming there is none. Would they cancel the Non O-A and stamp in for 45 days? Wild speculation.

Don't think about it. It's nothing you can prepare for. Ok you could survive somewhat longer hiding in a cave/bunker. Living on hunting, collecting fruit etc. Back to stone age just no mammoth. But within weeks and months the northern hemisphere would become an unfriendly habitat. Yes, nuclear winter. Also read that with some delay the fallout/pollution would also stretch to the southern hemisphere. So sorry you Australians. Now waiting for the next Hollywood Armageddon movie. There is speculation that the Russians could come through with a tactical ("small") nuke for "demo" purposes and the west would not strike back.
