  1. And remember: these are just three fatal bike accidents making it to news here. The other 30 or more of the day go unnoticed. No mention of alcohol. Oh forgot it was alcohol ban 🙄
  2. You can't make this up. Crazy speeding, horrible maneuvers, throwing their life away. No pity at all.
  3. Google translate from a German media:
  4. YES. They are NOT Swiss. Google translate from Swiss media: I would expect they will end in a US high security prison. They ripped 17 Swiss companies. That's why Switzerland issued the arrest warrant. Misc international police forces were contributing.
  5. Fatal misjudgement. 331 in this area has a total of six lanes plus two frontage roads with two lanes each. All separated with guardrails and a ditch. I last drove there in November and fortunately no pedestrian seen trying this dangerous manoeuver. When I first drove 331 on holiday in the mid 2000s or so it was a two lane rural highway.
  6. Poor girls. Thaifriendly should be overflowing today. See the good side of things
  7. Saw it first on an Instagram video and thought it's an AI driven fake
  8. Absolutely stay under the radar. It's a mystery to me why people rush to tax offices to meet clueless officers. What can happen in worst case? You might be addressed, file tax return and maybe pay backward and a fine/interest. No prison time to expect.
  9. Rumor is that after the catastrophic flood of 2011 they have bought safe land/houses. I look down on that from 230 m above
  10. That's a tough requirement. Browsed through the 30 fastest connections and only AirCanada via Vancouver does 787 on both legs (can't see whether "-9"). Starts with long leg: 8:35 AM to 6:55 AM (13h 20m) 8:40 AM to 4:51 PM (5h 11m) Others do 787 only on short leg within Asia.
  11. Turkish has a good reputation. Overnight flight starts at 10:50 PM, arrive 11:15 AM. It's two ~11 hour legs, 1:50 stopover. (other connections available) Cathay has the fastest connection (total 19:25 hours) but you have to endure an ultra long haul (15:35 hours, A350). Starts in the morning 11:50 AM, arrive 7:05 PM. All looked for a Saturday departure. I was surprised that all faster trips go east. Must have to do with easier direct routes.
  12. Strange. Loads fine.
  13. Found the website of the company (Thai only). The product as such might be discontinued? https://www.purefilter.com/product-category
  14. An older model seems to have three filter cartridges which might be quite common (10 inch, 2.5 inch diameter):
  15. Others were faster. All in Vietnamese that I found. Yours is probably a PURE 557 with a single filter cartridge? (model nr. might be Vietnam specific)
  16. That is bad work from the bank then. Foreigners only?
  17. I am a bit astonished about the Krungsri hotline. I doubt that everyone would routinely get such msg. As I understand they get data from the operators and compare it against the account data. The slightest difference in spelling/middle names etc could trigger the msg.
  18. Got nothing from Bangkok Bank or SCB so far. With Kbank I had produced a problem. A friend's account had my phone number. Out of sudden I got a warning msg from AIS(!) that I have to identify within 24h at one of their shops. Otherwise number would be suspended (Thai language only). Went to shop with passport. Staff did the job incl picture taken. Not heard about it again. Friend will close that account.
  19. Same messages appeared for Kasikorn. Other thread. Banks are obliged to check by new strict rules. Nothing to get excited about
  20. And now try to argue if many call it s..thole. Award winning though.
  21. Common practice from my observation. In the past when boats started on the beach they always crossed beach rd. like that. Often there was a flag waver to stop traffic.
  22. https://thethaiger.com/other-services/pink-id/guides/thai-pink-id-card-faq/ Don't nail me on that.
  23. Pink card is issued on base of yellow book (1st step). No yellow book, no pink card. Proof me wrong.
