Where to get a front/rear dashcam installed?
KhunBENQ replied to brewsterbudgen's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Do you intend to buy the cams separately, just want it to be fitted? In most cities you find specialized workshops that sell and install such stuff. You can get kind of 360 degree recording for a price. I did a simple search for "dash cam rayong" and some results come up. (RCC - Rayong Car Camera, FB is in Thai language only) -
No you can't. Nearest usable stop is Tokyo. Distance to the westcoast (literally) on direct line is about 7600 km (4700 mi). Not doable in 7 hours. Tokyo to Hawaii is about 7 hours nonstop (popular frequent route)

I once got a credit for fee of next transfer as they were exceptionally slow (two added days for transfer). But that's all.

I can, many can. Don't have any card. "Installed the app" and registered successfully with identification and proof of address? Think you have to go through their help pages.

Undercover Raid Busts Tomboy Bar: 18 Tourists Found with Purple Urine
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
And maybe musicians/entertainers. Just browsed through their Facebook page ("4 step tomboy"). It's a "different world". It's worth a look. Some of the toms are really hard to distinguish from sweet boys/gays. "Tourists": on the party pictures and videos I didn't see a single "farang"/"Caucasian". Must all be local Thais or coming from Bangkok and elsewhere. -
German documentary reignites sex tourism concerns for Thailand’s Pattaya
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Seems you are right that the original excitement was not here in the forum. The documentation was broadcast originally in Feb 2023. The "Al Jazeera" from August is just a recycling of the same documentation (in English?). Blocked in Thailand is a joke. Others have posted youtube links and seemingly also on FB in English. For me it's quite superficial with little insight. Just spending money from compulsory TV fees for another repetition. -
Govt to Empower Governors with CEO-like Authority
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
More power and still unelected bureaucrats. Wise move -
Non O-A is a multiple entry visa that gives permission to stay for one year from each entry. Enter shortly before visa expires also gives another one year stay. So quite easy to have two years from it. But: health insurance needed and permission to stay not longer than validity of insurance. Application only in your home country or country of residence. Financial proof in your country equivalent to extension in Thailand but no money in Thai bank needed (keep money overseas). Some more hassle for application (police record). Was popular in the past, now much avoided.

German documentary reignites sex tourism concerns for Thailand’s Pattaya
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Will try to find it later when on the desktop. It was a big wave in February 2023. Hardly any German public TV station that didn't rebroadcast in February to March. -
German documentary reignites sex tourism concerns for Thailand’s Pattaya
KhunBENQ replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Just stumbled upon this thread and a bit surprised about the repeated excitement. This was a topic around the beginning of this year when this sorry effort was INITIALLY published. Multiple YouTube links for it and nothing blocked (in German language, don't know whether they made a translated version). -
Drug problem exist since decades. Much hated Thaksin tolerated extrajudicial killings in the early 2000s. There have been murder cases but always related to big money/real estate/dubious businesses and failed relationship. Contract killing.

Everywhere in Thailand you should keep your wits together. Up here avoid young males (bike racers) hanging around in groups. Drugs are everywhere most likely yaba (amphetamine pills). Nothing Isaan specific.
-
Do you think that Isaan is particularly unsafe? Never felt insecure walking in Udon Thani at whatever time. Two "crimes" in 12 years in the village I am aware of. Theft from the temple (some TV or what). Theft of a bag from a wooden house where you don't need a tool to get in through the windows. My wife is a bit paranoid about safety because she was robbed at knifepoint in Phuket decades ago. Of course we lock the house at night.

Expiration date
KhunBENQ replied to Skipalongcassidy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The picture shows an entry stamp not a visa. "NON-RE"? Seems you had a re-entry permit? What's your original visa and last extension of stay or entry stamp? Does it say 20 March 2024? -
But they were not bulletproof I thought for a while why this ugly monster could become a big success in the US. Bulletproof for the "masses" (only 60k) and you will need it more than ever.

Patong Hill road reopens, paving the way for smooth travels
KhunBENQ replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Paving the way for break and brain failures of all kinds. Can't remember a single word about uphill/downhill driving at the lessons for driving license.
