Under average. 113 in two days would be a pre Covid normal number.

Happened after 2 AM (closing time 11 PM). Do some idiots need a proper curfew again?

12th, last day before holidays and offices usually busy and same day is not a rule. Even at quiet Khon Kaen it came morning next day. ? PO = post office? Postal mail? That might be too late. They expect it to arrive before due date. Your latest for report in person would be Tuesday 26th. I do online as early as possible (two weeks before due date). Would have been the 6th in your case.

Tickets from highway police (which the OP seems to be about) can not be paid a communal police stations. I didn't find out how I can pay online for highway tickets as a foreigner. How does it work? Could not even pay at the ATM. Would only work if you have an account at Krungthai Bank (through which the highway police tickets are handled). Went to Krungthai Bank, cash with added 20 Baht fee.

That's about the level of learning that I have experienced. Circling around a dusty sports ground. Afraid to try a full break which I showed them and horrifies them

Driving schools outside the big cities are rare. I think we have one within two districts. Very few Thais here go through a driving school. They learn how to open, start, hold the wheel, find the pedals, gear box if any and off we go. I always wonder what these drivers are who ride a 6 cylinder limo on a highway going 40 km/h (25 mi). I think they are afraid of themselves.

Which contradicts your general statement. Good luck finding highways that look like motorways. A few!

That's the general rule. Few highways fulfilling certain conditions (e.g. no U-turns, concrete divider ...) have been lifted to 120. I one has not seen an explicit 120 sign, the limit is 90 for divided highways.

Thanks for the warnings. Will consult the family council whom to call for help Remember some years ago a brother in law had to seek help at the hospital after some stingy beasts had attacked him.

This morning I found this nice looking nest under the roof of the garage. Likely wasps. What would you do?

ATM pool logo as seen today at an SCB ATM. Not all ATMs show the logo but anyway I can use Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn and SCB interchangeable.

That was in the headlines when a container fell off a ship near a German North Sea island. Thousand and thousand of plastic eggs with the toy landed at the beach to the joy for the kids. Toys without the sugar/calories

The plastic stuff comes from China in any case. Shipped to production sites where the actual chocolate is added. I learned that multinational food giants (like Mondelez) produce wherever it is most favorable. For example there is "Milka" chocolate originally Swiss brand. If you buy it here it is Made in Australia. Similar for "Nutella" (some hazelnut/coco spread), originally Italian brand. No way that you buy Made in Italy here. I think also Australia. I should add that I neither consume Milka nor Nutella Lindt chocolate Made in Switzerland for me. That is really imported and comparably expensive.

This is a picture from a GSB ATM showing the "pool" logo. Next time I will check whether I find it at all major banks ATMs.

Yes you can. Of course English menu available. Both banks are member of some ATM/cash pool. Very few banks are not. AEON is one of them. Usually four withdrawals per calendar month at other ATMs are free. No extra fee. After that some 15/20 Baht?

And only for a fraction of infected the elaborate "Genomic sequencing" procedure is done. So simple not known what variant it was for the very most. Read somewhere that there are only two labs in Thailand (in the Bangkok area) to perform the procedure.

About a third of pre Covid numbers. Spike from 21 to 26. But somehow we need a headline. How else could all the excitement, checkpoints, road side camps be justified. Wait for a similar "spike" in Covid numbers and entertainment closure until Neverday.

The yearly big excitement about the "Songkran carnage". It never has been true at least for the number of road deaths. There is nothing better for road safety than big fat jams/gridlocks. (and of course the Covid downturn, bans add to that) Sunday's numbers must be among the lowest ever seen, 21 deaths of which 16 on motorbike.

The topic title is a bit unfavorable. Sure the airport is quite away from Buriram city in Satuek district but of course referred to as Buriram Airport ( code: BFV). Even Avis shows some booking site for that: https://www.avis.com/en/locations/th/buriram/bfv Another option might be taking transport to the city and find something there?

Hope Michelin knows their business. Just searched a bit and they are announced for 2024 in Europe. So really surprising to see these in Thailand. I again bet for a test drive/vehicle.

Michelin Uptis? Surprised that they are (already) on the road here? Last I have seen was from engineering and test of these. Maybe a test ride/vehicle?

Needs a glass bowl to foresee whether the strict bans will actually be enforced (no water splashing, no alcohol in public [street, beach etc]). Songkran official dates are 13 to 15 but there is the weekend following (16, 17). Be prepared for some crowds/heavy traffic at the hotspots. I read that there will some traditional festivity will be hold on he weekend? Yawn.

The only interesting part for me is: will Easter and Songkran overlap? And this year they do on Friday Lost a bit of interest in the Sunday Urbi et Orbi since HE does not try the Thai Christmas wishes anymore. The whole event has become somewhat mundane. Miss the bells and whistles, the noble robes...

There are tons of yt downloaders. The one that I use occasionally is WinX Youtube Downloader. It has a somewhat lengthy analyzing phase but pays with very high download rates. https://www.winxdvd.com/help/how-to-use-winx-youtube-downloader.htm

Is this a serious thread? I would ask where do I have to move for some roaring airplane noise? Where are you? Straight line from Suvarnabhumi runway?? For no airport noise you could move to our area but I refrain from listing the endless other noise pestering.
