  1. "Us Brits" sounds like "us French" when looking at their national football team.
  2. Bloody bastard. Hope they find the culprit. Plate not visible. So normal here.
  3. Some say road traffic is an indicator for the level of civilization.
  4. Not everybody's cup of tea. Honda Wave is not that comfy long distance ride But if need is big I would do it. ~150 km, starting at the very first light of dawn. No speeding, 40 km/h. On the other hand: do she/he have a trusted person to engage as rider? Pay rider 500 Baht plus getting back with taxi or the like.
  5. That's what I understand from the OP? Just that THIS Bangkok Bank in Pattaya is out of the business. Instead they found a solution via Bangkok. Sure, I am in the situation that I don't need such "workarounds" but on the other hand I can understand reasons why people choose to.
  6. Will likely use them in September for a trip to the consulate. Oneway Khon Kaen - Suvarnabhumi 1250 Baht incl. checked and carry on, limited seat selection. Not as bad as I expected. I remember some threads about flights to London and also not bad. Things might change.
  7. How much fuel cost would I have to pay if they do the 200 km round trip
  8. For letters Germany's customs checkpoint is notoriously slow/overloaded. 6 days can happen. One speculation: parcels from Thailand now prone to even more stringent checks thanks to the wonderful cannabis liberalization? Sniffer dog needs a break.
  9. Played with a number of tracking sites. Found two vague results that are similar.
  10. Even ordinary registered mail is tracked in the destination country. You should try the tracking site of the destination country (UK?). If it shows up there it has passed customs checkpoint. The last update you show says "in transit at intermediate country", DOH for Doha, Qatar? Why do you think it has reached destination country?
  11. Mr. Krisana in a hurry like so many. Now he has time waiting for his next life. Hard to find proper words for such stupidity. In the end putting the value of his bike above his life.
  12. Is your friend a Thai person? Any friends/acquaintances having a pickup?
  13. Maintenance failure? Sabotage? Terror act? Better not think of technical failure.
  14. 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.
  15. Photo in passport can be up to 10 years old. Just saying.
  16. Once brought same photo as year before to KK immigration. Officer smiled and asked for a new one next year.
  17. 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."
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 139 That was a fun night. After which you should take a taxi or Baht bus.
  23. 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.
  24. If only I had a list of fallen cranes in Thailand. That would be a long one. At least no deaths this time.
