First ever Dreamliner crash in India (bound for London Gatwick)
Maintenance failure? Sabotage? Terror act? Better not think of technical failure.

Using a photo older than 6 months ( for visa extension)
You didn't get my point. Why should a 6 month old be a problem why you can travel with a passport almost 10 years old.

Photo in passport can be up to 10 years old. Just saying.

Once brought same photo as year before to KK immigration. Officer smiled and asked for a new one next year.

First ever Dreamliner crash in India (bound for London Gatwick)
Crashed into a residential area. That will be terrific loss. Passengers on board: “Of these, 169 are Indian nationals, 53 are British nationals, 1 Canadian national and 7 Portuguese nationals,” Air India said."

British Influencer's Lamborghini Recovered in Thailand After Eight-Year Saga
2nd video about the range extender for keyless entry. Long known and still manufacturers can come through with this insecure stuff. All that just to save pushing a button on the fob. My new Toyota has this too. Fortunately there is a not too difficult trick to deactivate the key transmitter temporarily. For other models things like a metallic box for the fob recommended. How silly.

Driver License renewal
Been reported in another threads/other offices. I am not affected. Yellow house book accepted here. Why? Maybe because it's free and immigration does not like free services.

Lorry Runs Red Light, Crashes Into School Transport Vehicle – 7 Injured, 3 Seriously
Lying bastard at the lorry wheel. Of course he tried to save the effort of preparing to stop. If he felt that there is a problem with the breaks why not honk and flash the lights? Being first at the green light is not a win in Thailand. You can't be cautious enough.

Novice wants to increase disk space on C drive
Yes that's the first thing to try for laymen. Use all available options incl system stuff, win update stuff... (I don't have the exact wording at hand) Did you say how big the C drive is in total? Another simple thing: use Windows search to find huge files (> 1GB or so). Maybe you find some of your videos that can either be deleted or copied to D and then deleted on C. Videos and huge downloads are the #1 space eaters.

Pattaya Plans AI Drone Patrols to Hunt Overstayers and Crooks in Real Time
Drones over Pattaya. Better keep your helmet on at any time. What a bombastic article. Just can't swallow it in total. Hunt overstayers with drones. Sounds feasible doesn't it? Do involved person's have shares in a drone distributor? They read too much and develop phantasies about the total control by the Chinese totalitarian regime. Zillions of cameras, face detection etc. etc.

Crane Collapse at 67-Storey Condo Site in Pattaya, Construction Halted Immediately
If only I had a list of fallen cranes in Thailand. That would be a long one. At least no deaths this time.

If you found 12 million baht in a box near the trash, would you keep it?
If I knew who claims it now I would have kept it. Who is so corrupt to keep 12 million Baht in cash at home and forget it?

Is This TDAC?
Found this on the skyteam website. Skyteam a group of airlines. They provide information about documents required etc. Likely on TIMATIC which about all airlines use. So they should very well point to the necessity of TDAC. https://www.skyteam.com/en/flight-and-destinations/visa-and-health

Whats the point of the morning and afternoon alcohol law?
I haven't read through the thread so probably mentioned. No alcohol at gas stations (7/11 etc). I have car so how far to the next watering hole? In Germany gas station is the last resort if all else closed 🤣🤣

Is This TDAC?
A mate arrived on May 22nd via Dubai (Emirates) and told a similar story. The majority of travellers unprepared. Filling TDAC at some desks.

Driver License renewal
So sure you need a proof of residence (res.cert.). Worst case: read that it can be complicated: DLT will give you a request letter. With that and only with that immigration will issue free of cost. Some unlucky guys have to wait weeks for it. Maybe an "express fee" might help. But really worst case depending on office.

Driver License renewal
Also recommended or mandatory for foreigners: Online "training" at home. Watching some videos and answering simple questions. Results in a QR code. (I don't have the details at hand now). Many threads about it in the motor forum.

Driver License renewal
Health certificate is always necessary. Local street side clinic. 100 to 200 Baht. A new proof of residence also assuming you have no other means (yellow house book or the like). Also depends on the individual office what they accept. Where do you go? You are on a long-term visa/stay (Non O?). Yes almost 6 years until your birthday on May 27.

Phuket Locals Seek Help for Injured German Man Sleeping on Streets
Good luck finding someone to fund his return. Also in this state airlines will likely refuse to transport. His is sick in every dimension. See his swollen foot. Combined with his weight loss and the wounds could be untreated diabetes plus heart problems +++

Krungsri online banking discontinued from 1 October 2025
The real farmer bank? Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives. (Kasikorn: Thai word for farmer 😁) I am sceptical how they handle foreigners. WISE transfers to BAAC not possible. On certain paydays you will see tents and seating setup in front of the building for the 100 or more farmers waiting hours for their payments.

Man Decapitated After Volvo Slams into Lorry in Pathum Thani
Sleeping Not limited to nighttime. I once luckily escaped being rammed. HW 12 about 9:30 AM. I was on the left lane. The fruit carrying pickup ahead on the right lane which they will never leave. Out of nowhere a limousine crashed with extreme high speed into the pickup. Then both sliding along the central ditch. Outcome unknown. Others coming who could help. I made my way.

Krungsri online banking discontinued from 1 October 2025
Don't make your self a fool. And it's not me that got the message from the WEBSITE of Krungsri. And not a message or mail but prominently on the website. Do you really understand what the thread is about? Nothing to do with the app e.g. Read from top.
