KhunBENQ

Swiss citizen, sending Euro from German bank account to WISE account in Belgium and from there to Thai bank account. Not exactly monthly and usually 2000 Euro. Registered at WISE in January 2018. I remember it included passport copy/upload(?) and a proof of my Thai address. Can't remember whether it included a face photo upload? Since then never any additional requirements. Hope it remains quiet. Usually I go through the mobile app. Just logged in at the PC and got a "suspicious logon" message. Unlocking link to my email and got in.

Paintjob and some last registration matters? "Thai Airways" And all planes will be in a single pool. Don't expect A350 to Khon Kaen Checked some prices for KKC to BKK in January and looks like the worst expectations will be met with rising prices. Also the "senior" rebate (>60) seems gone. Can you expect services in time? Thai Smile has become terribly unreliable with the schedule. Often the only airline from Khon Kaen that is delayed.

I try hard with good English

Maybe you can explain your idea of the event, How did the bus driver get in possession?

Good bar managers DON'T drink alcohol during the shift. Never saw "Larry" at infamous Baby Dolls drinking alcohol. (all long gone, closed and "retired) The much hated manager of the managers (Nightwish group) doesn't drink if I can believe his own testimony.

And now expect the question what is Chalermprakiat Commonly referred to as "3rd road". This pothole/chaiyaphoon has no official name but is just Soi 25. In contrast the next Soi is officially "Soi Lengkee" and not Soi 27 (which is a good walk further towards south Pattaya rd.).

As already mentioned. On a desktop/tablet device/browser the font can easily be changed to your comfort. But indeed on the mobile (using Chrome) its unreasonable.

And you think the driver has stolen from the backpack while on the road or what?? Did you care to read and understand what happened even vaguely?

And a friend always laughs about my "manbag" strapped around the shoulder and warming my belly. Never would I put that much money and valuable documents in a backpack overhead. In contrast to planes these overhead compartments have no door/lock that you notice when opened midflight. If you sit at the window it can easy slip your attention in the bus.

Don't rely on that. Some senders have much improved. Check the real sender address. Check whether the mail contains any personal data (your name/address, contract/delivery number that you can verify). Or is it just "Dear customer" etc. One of the worst and hard to recognize is the "booking.com" scam. There the sender address is legit AND it has real booking data. Quite a shame for booking.com,

Can you view details of the mail with the effective sender address? (not what's displayed in the overview) It's about the best method to uncover spam/fake mails. Example: "muckenschlabble.com", definitely not from Tinder

McAfee probably one of the most frequent spam mails. Must be billions. After having marked them as spam in the mail SW a couple of times it is quiet now.

One month for tax and vehicle inspection. Three months for renewing 5 yr driving license. There is a potential annoyance: the tax sticker will always be on same date for every year. But comprehensive insurance (voluntary) goes from date of application. So this is date that one should take care for in case.

I don't have a written proof but your idea is very unlikely, Millions of Thais work and live outside the province where their registered residence is. That would be too much to travel from Phuket to Chiang Mai just to renew DL. (previous post was faster ) Some proof of residence is required. What is accepted varies from office to office. Ours accept my "yellow book/pink card", others don't (like Pattaya/Chonburi).

There is a current controversial thread running on that. I agree with your complaint,

35% sales tax is the number I find for a 3 liter. Not completely explaining the difference.

Is the car also manufactured in the US? List price in Germany is roughly 75000 EUR. About 82000 USD, 2.9 million THB. For the rest I only know that there is a significant sales tax that rises with the displacement. And a 3 liter engine is quite a thing here (compared to the US). 6 cylinder limousines like the Toyota Camry are 2.5 liter only.

"Tourists" maybe an overstatement. Many from Bangkok not even doing an overnight.

A bar operator and vlogger on Soi 7 said that he timed a standstill on 2nd rd of more than one hour! Better have a pee bag with you 🤣 Any first hand reports from Soi Buakhao? I experienced this chaos last time before COVID. And even trying to walk down to the beach was a PITA.

Minor roads is the word here. Mostly within the villages or paths out to the fields. They block half of the path. A disturbance but not a big issue. It's a bit of a mystery how one can kill himself by riding into a pile of rice. Sleepy or careless.

Go through this thread about a terrible road accident and see how these anonymous reactions have become a complete farce. Idiots or fat fingers? https://aseannow.com/topic/1312629-nine-killed-and-more-than-ten-others-injured-in-truck-accident-in-si-sa-ket/

There was never a fixed rule on how early you can do. (in contrast to one year extension where 30 days is usual) So you are dependent on the mood of the individual office. I remember rule of thumb one week ahead.

I have the news in mind of about 200 Australian and other tourists bombed to death by Muslim extremists.

Just stumbled upon this pearl of journalism: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/nbtc-files-for-bankruptcy-of-cat-telecom-in-thai-baht-terms Without any comment/background. I assume(!) this is a formal step to dissolve CAT after the merger with ToT to NT? Can anyone comment?

Exactly. And this thread is a good example why. It was a big mistake to anonymize. Either named or abolish.
