  1. Big fat deception. Recently learned. Best price for room 9xx Baht. Then continue: you have to pay 11xx Baht, get cashback. Fine print: apply for cashback, need a credit card, may take a month, for less than 10 USD there is 1 USD fee. No thanks!
  2. A bit too much of fear mongering about 1 year ban. Never heard before. Since years they tell that you won't be able to pay tax/insurance with an open ticket. Since years others tell you it's just hot air, don't care, don't pay. I will not try to find the truth tentatively. I think it is worth to change the address in the book. Might be a PITA with certificate of residence. There is website in Thai to check for outstanding tickets. But only usable with Thai ID, so not worth linking,
  3. Interestingly the flight took a reasonable detour compared to commercial flights (EVA air), avoiding Turkey and Iran.
  4. Sure not Quite exactly eastward, about 4800 km, 2600 nm. Just a short hop compared to London. The jet must have been parked at the most remote location at DMK. Even reporters get a blurry picture only.
  5. According to an article in Bangkok Biz News the flight will continue at 9 PM to Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands. Maybe same crew after a minimal rest time? Wonder whether he is allowed to the terminal airside?
  6. ? The two year is obviously due to your Thai license expiring in two years. Both the 1949 and 1968 should be available to all Thai non temporary DL holders. Following Wiki Indonesia only accepts the 1968 ("3 year") IDP. Doubt it has to do with issuing country.
  7. Bombardier Global 6000, high end private jet, range 11390 km (6140 nm). Easy to do this around the world trip with one stop.
  8. Private charter jet VJT 199 from Stanstedt to Don Mueang landed at 12:30 PM. Will continue to the Mariana Islands to face US court pro forma.
  9. Same for me in the past when I did in person. Now doing online before due date and always "loose" a few days but who cares in this case.
  10. That's an interesting hint. Wasn't aware about it.
  11. You can get a one year IDP (1949 convention) or a three year IDP (1968 convention). Which is the right choice depends on the country where you want to use it. Which is?
  12. Be reminded: the original story is from March/April and covered by a thread here (as I wrote above).
  13. deleted Just noticed that this is just a follow up of a thread from April. https://aseannow.com/topic/1324743-the-baffling-27-years-of-richard-burrows-aka-‘peter-smith’/
  14. Yesterday a vaccination campaign was announced in the village. Was surprised.
  15. Try another login: https://www.dlt-elearning.com/Passport Username / ID No.: that is letter "Pccc######..." ccc: three letter country code like used by immigration 90 day report etc. USA for USA GBR for UK AUS for Australia DEU for Germany CHE for Switzerland ... ##... your passport number Date of birth in ddmmyyyy So a US citizen born on 9 OCT 1985: PUSA09101985 Try and say what you see. I do not see a QR code (used in March) just a text saying it expires in 67 days (totally valid for 180 days).
  16. Will these dramatic warnings switch from daily to hourly now? There was highly dramatic one valid for five days until the 20th. And it was NOTHING. In the end people won't take their warnings serious at all even if justified.
  17. The numbers sound ridiculous. This is one of many similar graphics in Thai giving advice. 40 psi is the highest number you find for a 4-door pickup (light truck).
  18. No match for Oslo : 03:53 ↑22:43 ↑18:49:55 No sundown at the North Cape. Midsummer festival. But even here I notice the near 13 hour day in contrast to December.
  19. Some reports name the location. I searched thoroughly for it, no idea where it is exactly. No name I ever came upon.
  20. Sure. Only the transcriptions are confusing. (Saphanmit, Samphantamit, Saphanthamit, ...). Walked there a hundred times and don't know which would be a typical karaoke? Report in Khaosod mentions girls of age 16 and 17.
  21. 1984, those were the times (before me). A number of "Pattaya 1984" videos on the net. Simple search.
  22. Either I don't understand your post or I have to deny. If you use an ATM card of a Thai bank that is in the cash pool network (most) then: 1) you can show the balance of your account even on other banks ATM anytime. Try it. 2) they add fees depending on location of your branch and how often you used other banks ATM (like 15 or 20 Baht). Four withdrawals per calendar month within the region/province at other banks ATM are free (conditions set by your bank). That's from experience (and fine prints). Checked Bangkok Bank balance at a BAAC ATM nearby, withdraw at other banks ATM uncounted times. Even many Thai people seem to be unaware. They queue at an ATM to withdraw money while other ATMs are available.
