Severe Weather Alert: Heavy Rains and Flood Risk Across Thailand
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Will these dramatic warnings switch from daily to hourly now? There was highly dramatic one valid for five days until the 20th. And it was NOTHING. In the end people won't take their warnings serious at all even if justified.- 23 replies

Are these numbers for real????????
KhunBENQ replied to CallumWK's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The numbers sound ridiculous. This is one of many similar graphics in Thai giving advice. 40 psi is the highest number you find for a 4-door pickup (light truck). -
Summer solstice brings longest day and shortest night tomorrow
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No match for Oslo : 03:53 ↑22:43 ↑18:49:55 No sundown at the North Cape. Midsummer festival. But even here I notice the near 13 hour day in contrast to December. -
Udon Thani Karaoke Bar Raided for Human Trafficking
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Some reports name the location. I searched thoroughly for it, no idea where it is exactly. No name I ever came upon. -
Udon Thani Karaoke Bar Raided for Human Trafficking
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Sure. Only the transcriptions are confusing. (Saphanmit, Samphantamit, Saphanthamit, ...). Walked there a hundred times and don't know which would be a typical karaoke? Report in Khaosod mentions girls of age 16 and 17. -
Pattaya Police Station Celebrates 40th Anniversary
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
1984, those were the times (before me). A number of "Pattaya 1984" videos on the net. Simple search. -
Either I don't understand your post or I have to deny. If you use an ATM card of a Thai bank that is in the cash pool network (most) then: 1) you can show the balance of your account even on other banks ATM anytime. Try it. 2) they add fees depending on location of your branch and how often you used other banks ATM (like 15 or 20 Baht). Four withdrawals per calendar month within the region/province at other banks ATM are free (conditions set by your bank). That's from experience (and fine prints). Checked Bangkok Bank balance at a BAAC ATM nearby, withdraw at other banks ATM uncounted times. Even many Thai people seem to be unaware. They queue at an ATM to withdraw money while other ATMs are available.

General rule Expired for more than one year: repeat theory (multiple choice) test Expired for more than three years: start from scratch, theory and driving test. There was reprieve granted for licenses that expired DURING the office closing due to COVID. But after that renewal had to be done. And maybe (don't know) three months to do after offices opened again.

Heavy Rain Warning: Relentless Downpour Forecast for East
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You might be disappointed. Forecasts show only moderate rains. As the article says: have an umbrella with you. -
Heavy Rain Warning: Relentless Downpour Forecast for East
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
For a change: European weather centers (ECMWF) predict significant rain. Chanthaburi 30 to 60 mm for six days in a row. Rayong less. Trat looks serious too, 60 to 80 mm for four days in a row. https://meteologix.com/th/forecast/1605279-trat/xltrend/euro/precipitation (I filter for ECMWF only, GFS USA hopefully wrong again with 175 mm !) -
Bad smells often from the sewage and dependent on weather and rain. Pattaya sewage notorious. Often manholes covered with mats in front of bars etc.

Do you have to wear a towel during a massage?
KhunBENQ replied to Conan The Barbarian's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Very shy masseuse might insist on wearing some boxers even for oil massage. Serious massage generally OK with a towel and the masseuse will meticulously place it Not so serious massage: masseuse will tear it off -
Truck tyre bursting on Chon Buri road kills one, injures five

Sure: sitting on the loading area of the truck and thrown off. Safety at work a la Thai. -
Cheapest source for monthly purchase of Xatral (Alfuzosin) - BPH
KhunBENQ replied to simon43's topic in Health and Medicine
Last time I ordered Xatral was about a year ago (had operation and don't take anymore). The price incl. shipment for two boxes of 30 pills was 1935 Baht. So just under 1000 for one box. Ordered at Medisafe Bangkok. https://www.facebook.com/Medisafe.Pharmacy.Rama4/ Ordered via Facebook messenger chat. Paid by bank transfer. -

Indian tourist's holiday horror: Robbed, assaulted in Pattaya
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Thieve? Did you read the words "assaulted" and "robbed". There is big difference between thieves and robbers. This is another category then gold chain stolen on Beach rd. White Rose (1/2) are in the very central of Pattaya and I don't think that such street robbery/assault was the rule some 10 / 15 years ago. Things have become worse.- 100 replies

Canadian Tourist Robbed During Night in Pattaya Hotel
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Best type of safe can only be opened with the self configured number combination or the mechanical key. And at a decent Hotel not every cleaner has access to the big Hotel safe with the mechanical keys. But cheap hotels have cheap safes. And even for master code: not everyone please but trusted staff.
