Yep, and that is found in the car registration book. For speed traps: how could the camera find out that it is YOU at the wheel. The car is caught and fine addressed to registration holder. Checkpoints: that's a different matter. Usually paid on the spot with a receipt.

Some made from 304 stainless steel. Better?

Spare parts at the usual home stores? Good luck. Never seen such tiny bits. I guess a good walk in Bangkok Chinatown could help. I have ordered such stuff at Lazada. BE AWARE: there are at least four different size parts looking similar. The joke as such: even the diameter of the knurling wheel(?) is in two different sizes. Had one too big for the handle.

Ceramic. At Lazada you can even get the tiny bits separately. Order two dozens or shipment will be more expensive than the goods 😄

You were faster. A big +1. I have seen times when the first entrance to international departure was closed due to congestion. It's the way to the re-entry desk. Now try to skip the queue.

Friday 12th has been declared an extra public holiday. So the official holiday period alone is 12 to 16 (two substitutes for Sat/Sun). Pure traffic chaos/party on the beach (road) no later than the 12th. Whether the chaos will continue even after 16th? Not sure.

I will report back on the 13th.

800 Baht for a gang bang event with "plus size" women. Tastes differ 🫣 Plus size is a nice new woke word for the super fatty. Just look at the beauty in the picture.

I will know in three days. The English website of DLT does not help much. Daughter (Thai) had confirmed I needed it.

Some food for thought: https://www.nationthailand.com/lifestyle/travel/40032145 My Instagram tells me that still Japan, South Korea, Hongkong Singapore, Taiwan are popular destinations. All visa exempt for Thais. But don't expect that every young woman travelling alone will be let in easily. South Korean immigration seems outright racist/harrasing. China and Russia visa exempt for Thais. China (Shanghai) might be of interest. Russia: Vietnamese were visa exempt long ago and Moscow became a popular transit for human trafficking. Continue to Europe over land. Likely down now. Turkey also visa exempt and also a potential trafficking route.

Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn offer enable/disable in total. Applies to online and ATM use.

Taxi rider being drunk. OK, so no problem. All as normal.

But even I am not too happy about the CVT automatics that seem to be standard now in new small cars in Thailand. Do they live long?

I feel the exact opposite. Both hands on the wheel. I do break with left foot so it's not bored too much. Don't try without exercise first 😊 But each to his own although it's close to impossible to buy a new limo/sedan here with manual gearbox. Up/down: sounds you never drove auto. Standard auto's have at least three choices (D/S/L) that can smoothly be selected without any clutch pressing. I never use kickdown. Of course much more sophisticated auto's available. Merc has abolished. Porsche has manual as an alternative but comparison drives also ridicule the "save fuel" argument.

The Indian learnt quickly. Why use the road if there is a footpath. 2000 Baht, that will ruin him. The fines are still a laughing stock.

Medical certificate is for 30 days. Cost me a 100 Baht. Quite a farce. The real important facts are self qualified by signature (epilepsy e.g.).

It's 3 years now from the thread start. And KTB has taken the same lazy approach as SCB and cancelled internet banking through the website. Mobile app only!

Don't expect one single motorbike taxi rider, delivery rider etc. to follow the rules at least for the connecting Sois.

Indeed a good question. The accident did not happen on the motorway as such. How crazy must one drive in a rest area to kill his passengers?

I suggest you do that e-Learning procedure at home and get a QR code. Can save you sitting at the office and watch some video there. https://www.dlt-elearning.com/ Quite boring and some very simple questions. I have just done that in preparation for my 5yr/5yr extension next week.

Self taken pictures. Superstar "mai thai". Picture before concert started. These boys took care:

What is not true? My observations? They are years ago and I had no urge to check again. Good for you that the events you see have such a good security.

These "morlam" events are full of trouble due to brainless drunkards. Extra protection is needed. It's ages that I came near such event. One was in our village at the school yard. Guys with pump guns taking care for security. The other one was a "superstar" event with huge crowds. Military police taking care.

A cheap camera "holder" is any plain chair/table/shelf. Camera placed so that lenses are just over the edge looking down. Freehand will hardly give satisfying results.
