The statements from the banks are vague, not saying it will never work but obviously a game of luck depending on the workload. Guess Krungthai at the day/night paying all government employees might fail.

A response from Krungthai Bank:

No experience but searched for some clue in Thai language. And indeed you are not alone. Found two threads on pantip (forum) that describe problems with transferring money (not QR specific) between midnight and approx 2 AM. One response from Bangkok Bank as Google translation: Take a break

Yesterday I filled the webform of Ratchaphruek Khon Kaen with phone number of the daughter. They told her I should come today or tomorrow otherwise would have to wait until next supply of vaccine arrives. So today we went there to get 1. shot. Nice surprise that the 6300 Baht price is all inclusive (check in, short examination by doctor). Got it at 10:40 AM. All fine until now. Slight ache in the arm only when stretching up and when pressing on the injection spot. Next appointment on July 31st. Will likely be a little late (one or two weeks).

You were faster, didn't see your post.

Lowlifes among themselves. Applies to idiot Brits and uninhibited thugs called "guards". In a civilized country they should go to jail. But here it is normal to take "justice" in their own hands due to corrupt lazy police.

Internet nostalgia. Do you remember AOL CDs and what to do with it Still remember my Compuserve ID. First internet connection to Thailand was Gopher to Khon Kaen university. I am so old...

Nice wording for the worst/longest heat wave in decades. Our bill about 3 times higher than in "winter" (Dec, Jan). Worst in previous reading, 3800. This time 3030. Two story house, three people. Three ACs. You write a lot about watering (using a pump). No word about size of your home, ACs? How many? If you feel something is wrong: Main fuse off, watch meter. Does it stand still? Main fuse on, switch off everything that can be switched off, unplug fridge, TVs, electronic stuff of all kind. What does the meter say? Hidden device sucking energy in your house/garden? Compare reading on the bill with meter. Do your own intermittent readings.

Some pretty vague uninformed statements here. For sure: With a 2 year license you can not apply for a Thai IDP. With a 2 year license you must not cross border, drive in neighboring countries. As far as I know: With a 2 year license you can not rent a car.

Even worse: endless stream of news since last year say that "Diesel" is B20 which is surely not recommended for all Diesel vehicles, B10 discontinued. And why is more expensive? Might be due to the fact that "bio" (palm oil for Diesel and ethanol for gasohol) are on short supply/became more expensive. There was a full blown "palm oil crisis" after Indonesia had forbidden exports (I remember rationing of palm oil in super markets!). Stick to B7!

In Europe it's THE standard Diesel by EU norm. From PTT: Diesel B7 at PTT complies with Euro 5 emission standards. And I am not aware that B0 (no bio) has ever been mass produced/sold in Thailand. You think that "Diesel" is B0? For a while there was a whole bunch of Diesel variants at PTT, B7, B10 and B20 plus the "super stuff". This has been cut back.

The "Super Power" Diesel will hardly go to many pickups. For the Beamers and Mercs

Today's PTT prices confuse me. There is no significant rise in B7 which is the standard Diesel fuel. What's behind "Diesel" without further spec? Would someone pay more for B10??

To me it says: they have no rules/limits/methods to determine marijuana level? So lets test alcohol.

Simply confusing and not really a conclusion. "Send 430 Baht"???? That girl seems to have problems maybe mentally.

A German saying translates like: turn the goat into a gardener. Or install a a toothless tiger named NACC. Big joke seems on the right path.

"body torn in half" as the article says 🤯 Wonder what an exact cause is here.

The only news about SEA-ME-WE 5 come from the country most affected (Bangladesh). Due to this article the repair is not finished. First week of June is expected. Article from 23 May: https://digibanglatech.news/english/bangladesh-english/131954/

For some reason the topic came to my mind yesterday. I did some search for Shingrix ind Khon Kaen. Found Ratchaphruek Hospital for 6300/shot. Guess there will be additional fees. Khon Kaen RAM offers a single shot for 5000 (SKYZoster?) which seems less recommended. For Bangkok Hospital here I can not find any clear statement. Is there any chance that a public district hospital orders the vaccine on demand(deposit)?

Parking just anywhere in Bangkok? Not a vague idea about the area or distance from his apartment that is acceptable? Where would that be? Or is it long term parking?

Another hub dreamer.

I miss the times when news here offered a source. Tried to find to no avail. Some posters forget that there is a higher instance who could order such measures.

Absolutely. They are treated at the same high security court and kept in isolation like the radical RAF (red army fraction) far-left militant group who killed 34 people, multiple leading figures from banks, industrialists, state prosecutor etc. in the 1970s.

Read the full article. These summaries always miss important facts. Also the pictures are worth Found a shirt, hugging a policeman and driving off on a bike. Peacefully settled. Maybe the cannabis has kicked in

Last photo from Brig, entrance to famous high mountain areas. Hope they haven't been killed in an accident trying some hiking or the like.
