Indeed no traffic light. And the Thai text doesn't say that ("turn signal..."). Bad translation.

No word about the essential flight control systems? Were the batteries full this time? (some years ago they had a complete blackout at Suvarnabhumi with backup failing) Runway lighting affected?

Should be rare if they lay cables for the low/medium voltage stuff in the ground as happens at the more developed areas. No more transformers hanging on poles etc. No trees tearing down cables... The high voltage lines are should not be that prone to weather conditions. (the report speaks against as 115 kV is not what is hanging on low poles around the roads)

Some delay in the news

No. Same to me. Money said to be paid out/sent yesterday but not on the account until sometime today. They gave a very general "might take 1 to 2 working days..." note yesterday. Not a big problem for me yet but I hate surprises with anything money.

The other thread with the video says he was driving against traffic? Of course turning right from 3rd road into one of the Sois is an adventure of it's own even in daytime. And some excessive speeding bike riders don't make it easier.

Kuwaitis, Kuwaitis, Kuwaitis... How many more headlines are needed to kick these ruthless idiots out. Against the flow on 3rd road!! Lock him up (block leaving country, confiscate passport) until a million Baht compensation has been paid. After that deport.

Upgrade the 99 Baht package? I guess you can at any time. Kind of "test" package to see whether it works well. Upgrade is done from the app. Haven't tried it as my 150 GB will not run out soon.

Lazada? No I don't think so. I ordered from the GOMO website. https://gomo.th/package (select EN in the upper right corner) Ordering in English language is possible. BTW: they added new "extreme" packages that look completely useless for me. Bloody expensive, limited speed and 100 GB/month. Activate under a Thai friends name is no problem. Whether they have improved the registration in English with passport?

If you happen to do be, creep from the light like the Thais do 😄 Check all directions!

Speeding through red light at this big intersection (I know it well) is a death wish. Wanted to save 3 minutes and gave his life for it.

Lucky guy at the railing! Could have been killed. Complete fail of brain or machine. Who knows.

Bumping my thread to round up. I got the car/keys on May 12th, 2024 (new car, Toyota dealer, fully paid). Red plates? -> No, you should have "ordered". ? Super service. So driving off with the car and no plates. I had a compulsory insurance (original insurance policy) with no name/plate number, just VIN. Coverage with class 1 insurance? Unclear to me, found a copy of an insurance in the name of the dealer. Dealer assured me that the car is covered. I am not a great believer... Driving about 1000 km "locally". One stop at a checkpoint. Showing driving license and waved on. On July 17th driving to Pattaya (>500 km). One checkpoint stop, lowering window, waved on (showing nothing). Then about 20 km before Pattaya: stopped by highway police on motorway 7. Asking why I have no plate. Explaining the situation, showing the documents I had. Friendly salute and waved on. Back home and on August 1st (!) got plates, book and class 1 insurance in my name covering since May 12th. So all the time the car was covered by class 1 insurance. Car is registered in my name in Thai script from the yellow book/pink card. The registration date is July 9th! The timing will still remain a "mystery" to me. E.g. why could the dealer not provide me immediately after July 9th?

Just tried it on the translate website (PC) and it looks OK. Used four lines and got four lines in Thai. Do you refer to the app? To show a screenshot the thread would have to be moved to Thai language. You copy/paste into the "English" text field? From what program/app do you copy? I assume it's more a problem of the copy source not having proper paragraph separators?

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 49 seconds  

Putins statevisit like welcome parade will be hard to beat.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 83/100 My Time 74 seconds I bet many stumbled upon the single entry tourist visa question like me 😊

EUR USD GBP... all falling sharply during the last few days. So seemingly a strengthening THB. Who has an idea what's behind?

EUR 38.02 at TT 37.71 at Kbank USD big notes 35.28 at TT 35.16 at Kbank So Dollar is not that bad.

You can bet. As if there is a shortage of exchange booths in Pattaya. 2/3 have terrible extorting rates. Still working as a trap for the newbie/naive.

What causes traffic chaos in Soi Buakhao? Bumper to bumper creeping empty Baht buses and food cart vendors "parking" or pushing their carts on narrow roads. On one side I understand that everyone is fighting to make a Baht but this is simply too much and out of order.

Wish that others would watch the video like you do. 1) The Baht bus (bb) didn't speed! 2) the bb did not break nor accelerate. Not speeding away/fleeing. 3) seems the Chinese had no idea that he had to ring a bell. Maybe panicked that the bus didn't stop. 4) tried to simply jump off the driving bb. This was intentional. In this case I believe the driver didn't notice.

Read his own thread! Maybe I am on his ignore list. Serious issue here but not with banking. I am out here.
