  1. If the central bank resists the pressure to lower interest why should the Baht weaken which he didn't during the last days. I find the whole article quite useless and out of time.
  2. German borders are open. Poland free transit. 100 bus connection daily FROM Berlin TO Kiev alone. Ukrainian license plates on SUVs and luxury cars all over Europe. Frequent traveler on motorway Germany to Poland and Ukraine both directions. Germany gives every Ukrainian the full welcome package. Can settle, can work and/or receive benefits with basic money for daily expenses and support for housing/heating. Better status than an asylum seeker. 722'000 Ukrainians receive welfare money. Background check about their financial status in Ukraine seems impracticable. It's obvious that a significant number of them just come to receive the money and drive back home. Done and repeat. I would accept that Ukraine gets financial/logistics support to house real war refugees from the east in their own country. But what happens now is over the edge.
  3. Neither immigration calendar nor Bank of Thailand show a closure for Oct 17.
  4. Will be there during Loy Krathong on Nov 15. Mega event in terms of mass influx: Pattaya Fireworks Festival Nov 29/30. Will there be a US election/breakfast party on the morning of Nov 6 when the results come out? 😁 Just by chance I will be there like 8 years ago 2016 when a breakfast buffet felt like a Trump party. I am just an observer.
  5. After checking again it looks like the second bike rider managed to avoid collision by swerving to the left?
  6. My method: I began reading AN on the PC browser in reduced windows size (width) not full size. Just fiddle and the annoying sidebar p.sses off. You have to fiddle with window width and zoom factor in the browser. I have reduced the screenshot size for readability:
  7. It's a while since I went by plane and taxi but Tom Taxi always worked. Proper spacious limousines for 1000 both ways.
  8. I just wanted to comment on that. Beat me all, but have you noticed the speed that the biker go on this small populated road? A bit slower and looking forward could have given them a chance. If not avoiding an accident totally but not being decapited. The third bike rider is the other fallen asleep? And being the winner on max speed? Stunning.
  9. Anonymous cash deposits are no more allowed since quite a while. No card no fun. Or follow other advice given above. A person with a Thai ID card can deposit cash to your account.
  10. A SIM with a one month package does not cost a fortune. I suggest to start trial with AIS. I once had a DTAC one year SIM. On the road it had more outages than the AIS (GOMO) that I have now. To the OP: It sounds like the SIM is used stationery at home? In a SIM router or in the mobile phone? A SIM router with antenna and we'll placed can make a difference.
  11. Attempted suicide. Just not enough wheels and weight on the opponent.
  12. Indeed. The risky forbidden manouver of the bike rider didn't cost him his life. So he should just stay quiet. A proper investigation would not be in his favor and he would have to carry his cost alone. The car driver did a careless lane jump to win some meters and will also take his own cost. But in this country you need a 360 degrees view to notice all the gamblers.
  13. Can't wait for the terrifying firecracker hooliganism on the 17th next week. Lawless as usual they start like two weeks ahead. Should I get me a gun, already have a stick 🙄 Not too surprised that it escalated this way.
  14. As usual the video is quite poor. So hard to decide why the lane becomes dark after he undertakes. A big puddle which would support the idea of hydroplaning combined with senseless speeding.
  15. Checked once for EUR and USD and found no difference.
  16. Nawamindra Maharaj Day Had to think twice. Translates for the clueless foreigner as: King Bhumipol remembrance day. Died on October 13, 2016. No disrespect but here there is no indication for a big travel home event. Will the 13th be alcohol ban?
  17. Just played with their exchange rate site. And I am astonished that booths in Soi 13 and 14 offer 2 Satang (0.02) more than others for USD. Maybe due to the competitor in Soi13/2 "Damini". Damini usually offers a up to 5 satang more than TT. Only worth an extra walk/ride for real big amounts.
  18. TT has now even a booth at the basement of Central on the beach. Open from 10:30 or 11 AM. Sounds like you want to pay the Baht to an SCB account. And of course SCB has a micro branch at Central. Passport required to pay cash to account (or ATM card at the machine).
  19. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 96 seconds  
  20. I just completed this quiz. My Score 100/100 My Time 70 seconds  
  21. Thanks a lot. Very helpful. Surprised that my threat has lived up again.
  22. Super dramatic warning for Bangkok. International weather centers forecast rain over the next days with amounts from 5 to 15 mm. Check back in two days.
  23. Hopefully this is just a nasty bug. Terrible to handle.
  24. Completely unrelated to what my post is about but thanks for posting 🙄
  25. What's makes me sick: this criminal will likely be on the road again. In civilized countries he would be locked behind bars
