from Wednesday till Saturday

And Sunday following the website.

Is this from a mobile phone or a tablet?

On my mobile phone landscape works OK (when allowing rotate on the phone) although not of practical use.

Android, Brave browser.

I expect I am not alone in being thoroughly impressed with the percentage breakdown in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs of this report

They love their statistics and numbers.

Hardly a percentage broken down to less than two decimals (four digits).

Billions or millions of Baht down to a single Baht or even Satang.

Expected tourist numbers in the millions down to one digit.

Laughable.

85% two wheeler involved looks above average.

Doesn't sound like the operation was well planned.

Approaching a known drug criminal without  the necessary precaution? No safety vests? No automatic weapons to bring this scum down?

Well there's the problem - the curves !!  Remove them and the roads will be safer 😎

Manhattan style 😁

But then you have these damned intersections, blind corners 🤣

At least 12 countries make parts for Boeing, and all of them have to pay Trumptax.

I remember a headline saying that Boeing would be hit harder by these tax plans than Airbus.

That they decided for Boeing maybe related to the long order queue at Airbus, more than 200 orders now.

Boeing discounts to the max?

Still strange.

At your visit at DTAC they just looked up data and said all OK? No picture of passport taken, no picture of you.

So they say no issue but the SMS refers to BANK account?

You have shown the SMS to them?

Do you have online banking?

Maybe someone else used your number at the bank with a different name?

EUR/THB plummeting.

Nice surprise 😡 

USD/THB even worse

So I wonder why the cops decided to pick on this one?

So many places to choose from 😁

Always puzzled when I drive along Khopai Rd at like 9 AM and there is happy party time.

On Bongkok 8 where the road splits there is a big beer garden like place (open air) in full swing at similar times.

Now that looks like a proper bee guy.

What I have in the photo is different from the picture of the OP.

And we had these terrible hornets.

And don't try to get close to them without such equipment.

Well, it takes me a good hour to get to my local immigration office (Rayong) from where I live! And I gather that others living out in the sticks have considerably longer travelling times to theirs.

 

It's another 10 km extra, about 120 km.

Fortunately online 90 days works for me.

So only one visit per year (October).

I took the effort to register.

Website quite a mess.

Had to use VPN to make them believe I want to send money >TO< Thailand.

Registration as such quite easy, No verification of the address, just upload passport.

Code sent to my Thai mobile number.

Then you see the unbelievable offer: 0 fee, full currency market rate.

Wow!

After registration you are forced to a send money page and I can't change the amount entered before registration (2000 EUR). Wanted to test 200 EUR. No way.

Website frozen after a few attempts.

But only after cancelling and restarting I can see the obvious.

The offer is the usual decoy, first transfer.

Can't find what is the real charge for further transfers would be.

Wasted time, got enough.

Opposite of what I call transparent.

Will try to have my data deleted.

And that can even happen on highway 1.

A real ugly sight. Cars smeared with faeces and blood. Burst open cadavers.

Lol, I got that SMS and deleted it - I thought it was some spam...

Of course I was also puzzled.

But after translating it lacked criteria for a spam, no ad, no link.

And then the daughter knew about it.

M6 still not open - 6 years late in September.

A prime example. Thousands of tons of concrete elevated road unused since years.

If it happens. Bye bye koh chang. 

Their greed is insatiable. Destroy and flood with mass tourism.

First a bridge to Ko Samui, welcome to one day package tourists, stinky buses clogging the roads.

And now that.

I also hope it will not be in my lifetime.

Why didn't he just shoot the dog?  Or resort to the Thai poisoned meat lob.

Which could have ended in the dog owner shooting him.

No, I don't have a weapon.

China, meanwhile, seems unphased by the prospect of sourcing products like chicken, pork, and sorghum from elsewhere.

Oh please not more pork to China from here.

They suck empty the market.

Their demand is insatiable.
