  1. You are not looking forward to cultural enrichment?
  2. Another one: if you drive over a child near it's house you have to fear lynch mobbing. Some psychotic people can go after you with a machete for hitting the bumper.
  3. This case does not read like the truck driver did much wrong except being too slow for one of the young bike racers always being in a hurry.
  4. From the headline I expected a completely different kind of "rubbing" 😁 I love "private(!) balconies".
  5. For Bangkok Bank: you can get a 6 month statement on the spot/branch. Short wait. It looks completely different in layout from the one year statement (that I had to order and wait). And it's much better readable/clear than the 12 month statement. In October I will check with immigration whether it is OK for them to have 2 or 3 of these 6 month statements covering the 12 transfers. I will also try the 12 month via email and show them. I am relaxed about it because for this year I have an income statement from the consulate. But want to get rid of this need.
  6. Yep. Some people are lucky that this band 40 is in reach with proper signal strength. It's not simply "4G" but this specific band/frequency. A mate has this package against my advice. Now when he sits at a local cafe, want to call him on a messenger. "Can not, not good here". Recently he was at Pizza Hut at the local Lotus mall. Want to call him. "Can not, not good here" Story repeats again and again.
  7. Just came back with my Yaris (ICE) from the district town (18 km on a non congested highway). Measured 4.6 l/100 km (21.7 km/l). At higher speeds on motorway I needed about 5.5 l/100 km (18 km/l).
  8. Always funny detective game. Best known as Soi Watboon / Jomtien 2nd rd. Looking north on 2nd rd: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZvboQn9ZaoF6H7ii9 Could make a nice quizz Where is Choom Sai intersection? -> corner of Chalermphrakiat and Pattaya Klang Sue Sarn? Parinya?
  9. I have opted for the small standard Yaris. 100% ICE no battery/hybrid. Of course too small as a family car, rarely more than two. Quiet relaxing ride, low fuel consumption. Some nice gimmicks (keyless entry/start, cameras, blind spot warning), some of little use (start/stop, lane assistant). The Cross (a hybrid) is the current bestseller, not sure how long the queue is. Has a number of additional features like power tailgate and more. I never thought about driving the bulky truck modifications. Once sat in the back of a Fortuner "taxi" in Phuket. Hardly ever experienced such nausea in a car, lowered windows but could keep it to myself. A mate once picked me up from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya. At the time the M7 had some quite steep humpbacks at the canals. Mate was a crazy racer and flew over, when landing I almost hit my head. Not for spine patients
  10. You were faster. Any cheap laser is better than thermal or money eating ink. Cheap refill lasts "forever". Color print is nothing wanted and even refused by some immigration offices.
  11. Will they miss some schedules like tax filing and be fined 😁
  12. This horror goes on since years and the political elite/leaders will repeat their slogans and empty "we will take care" babble. Nothing changes. They want to fight the problem with forbidding knives instead of naming the real problem. Loud crying and teeth gnashing over the potential outcome of a state local election on Sep 1.
  13. Sure there will always be some trouble, brawls, sexual harassment and the like. But there is no word in the article about a reason for this stabbing. And stabbing hasn't been a frequent attack until some 10 to 15 years ago.
  14. Endless article and I can't find anything about the potential attacker? Searching for? Arrested? Have I overlooked? Stabbing at a festival? Sounds familiar. Three killed at a city anniversary in Germany two days ago by a Syrian "refugee" who claims to be an "IS soldier". Yet another case, hard to keep track.
  15. ? Where you have that idea from? Why should the motor have degraded that much. W123, one of the best Merc ever built, lasting decades and half million km. Even a E230 still makes 180 or more. Watch respecting videos.
  16. Sheer desperation by the airlines. Order books are full for many years. Chinese and Indians order planes in the hundreds. Boeing and Airbus both in a situation where they can NOT go bankrupt. Both have far reaching significance for the military/defense. States would have to rescue them for any price.
  17. What do you think about having moved this thread to the electricity forum where strange bills are discussed quite often?
  18. The house is empty since 4 years and was still connected to power? (what for?). Did you get bills during the 4 years? What I know is that since a while even consuming no power you are billed for some basic fee (less than 50 Baht) while before it was a 0 bill (we had this at the house of the sister in law). Did you ever check the meter reading and compare? (of course immediately read and compare with the bill) An empty house with power at the pole might also be a good source for power thieves (branching off). Best thing that can happen. You or wife should clarify billing history at least for one year.
  19. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 52 seconds  
  20. But you are aware that the very most pharmaceuticals (basic materials) come from China and India? Particularly those which are patent free. Another critical dependency.
  21. Last visit of the topic starter was in October 2023. Think this thread can be buried.
  22. Seems the OP is operating a secret data center, crypto farm
  23. Not specific for CM but I never read that someone is denied within 30 days before due date. (I always go within 30 to 25 days ahead here in KK) 45 days may need some justification.
  24. Indeed Soneva Kiri. On booking you find it for a negligible 46000 Baht/night. 5 bedrooms, 1000 sqm for 360000. Not the typical Chinese tourists.
  25. Report says "nosedive". Complete loss of control.
