I am fighting hard to find an English language source. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/พระพิฆเนศวัดบางชัน Google translation would be "Phra Phichit", Bang Chan Temple, Bangkok As is easy seen it's a Ganesha shrine. The temple is officially named "Wat Rat Satthatham (Bangchan)". See here: https://goo.gl/maps/pEQ3D198gzyAT79K9

A popular misunderstanding. The 60 days include the day of arrival and the day of exit. That ends with 29th October. Applies to all immigration arithmetic (15, 30, 45, 60, 90 day visas/reports etc.). Lets make it easy with a "5 day visa": Aug 31, Sep 1, 2, 3, 4 Sep 5 would be the 6th day.

Putin expressed his condolence to the family. Almost lowest possible level before swearing at the deceased.

Pictures from August 2020 in Pattaya.

If they really want they can clean up unused lines. Watched this myself in Pattaya. Piles of cut down fiber cables on the street and a huge pile at some shophouse (maybe a scrap business).

Unlikely much copper. Mostly fiberglass cable enforced with steel wire(s) and plastic coating. Not sure how easy it is to make money from them. Good question. Too lazy, no responsible party, not paying off (it's mostly private companies)? In parts of cities there have been some cleanup campaigns over the years. And of course is by no way Phuket specific.

Most of Isan in the 1200 to 1500 mm range. That's exceptional before peak rain season even started. And we experience it. Fortunately no flood problem in our area. Many parts of Germany are in the 500 mm range for the WHOLE year. (and drought this year)

Thanks for the warning. Just confirms to stay with ThaiSmile for me. And don't be fooled by lower "starting at" prices by other LCC.

So I am not alone with this observation. Obviously a big cleanup.

The usual game: he is 59 years old and so will serve for just one year! His nickname is "den" (เด่น), the outstanding/excellent (from khaosod.co.th)

Let the know betters learn by trying. Not worth arguing.

I assume you have Windows running? What happens if you press <Alt>+<Shift>? Does it show a "popup" for language setting? Is there a language indicator on the right side of the task bar?

Drive to the nearest inspection shop and let them handle to whole stuff (test, PRB, tax payment/sticker). No riding around for insurance and DLT for tax/sticker. You can use a taxi to pick up the paperwork, blue book and sticker at the test station if you want to minimize any risk. Usually next day.

Can't judge about Bangkok but in Pattaya BOLT is the app to use. And who depends on credit cards to pay xxx Baht for a taxi.

Can't wait for more comprehensive trip reports.

Haven't the land border exempt entries been restricted to two per calendar year? You will run into problems staying in Thailand year round with this method. A thing of the past.

Soi Buakhao towards South Pattaya rd. just before Action Street. "Coin Laundry". Quite new. Easy 400m from Soi Chaiyaphoon with the Baht bus. https://goo.gl/maps/LFjP37UeKpKAxMFX6

Some quite naive ideas here like motocycle guys. Do you really believe they will lift and carry it manually up 30 floors with some straps around the shoulder or so? The Hulk? At least you need proper carts/tools to "sledge" the things up. The photo is for the most primitive thing. Pros in the west have motorized "sledges" e.g. Also you need to check how the parts are packed/protected (cardbox, foam etc.)? Or there is stuff needed to wrap carefully before loading on a cart or the like. You need people who know their job and don't expect it being too cheap.

Yes. Simply open the site, mark some text and try a right click. It's blocked. So a spell check can't work the usual way. Bet there are cracks for that? But I never researched.

Some posters seem to have no idea how immigration interviews can go at other countries. Don't want to troll with naming/shaming.

Another wasted life.. Speeding, trying to overtake a car on the left. Motorway with bike? What more do you need to know. More than a 100 km/h on a 125 ccm.

Seems Bangkok Bank works a bit different. In the end I use the app to scan a QR code that is displayed on the ATM screen. After that the money is spit out. Can't remember having entered a number on the ATM. Maybe there is alternative similar to the above described SCB but I haven't checked. I use it occasionally because there is no fee nationwide. As I am always online since a while I should consider using it regularly?

Exactly. The best path for us is Makro first and then what you don't find there look at Lotus. Unfortunately I will have to do the 200 or 240 km roundtrip to Khon Kaen or Udon (better) to get the real goodies (once a month or so).
