  1. I just wanted to comment on that. Beat me all, but have you noticed the speed that the biker go on this small populated road? A bit slower and looking forward could have given them a chance. If not avoiding an accident totally but not being decapited. The third bike rider is the other fallen asleep? And being the winner on max speed? Stunning.
  2. Anonymous cash deposits are no more allowed since quite a while. No card no fun. Or follow other advice given above. A person with a Thai ID card can deposit cash to your account.
  3. A SIM with a one month package does not cost a fortune. I suggest to start trial with AIS. I once had a DTAC one year SIM. On the road it had more outages than the AIS (GOMO) that I have now. To the OP: It sounds like the SIM is used stationery at home? In a SIM router or in the mobile phone? A SIM router with antenna and we'll placed can make a difference.
  4. Attempted suicide. Just not enough wheels and weight on the opponent.
  5. Indeed. The risky forbidden manouver of the bike rider didn't cost him his life. So he should just stay quiet. A proper investigation would not be in his favor and he would have to carry his cost alone. The car driver did a careless lane jump to win some meters and will also take his own cost. But in this country you need a 360 degrees view to notice all the gamblers.
  6. Can't wait for the terrifying firecracker hooliganism on the 17th next week. Lawless as usual they start like two weeks ahead. Should I get me a gun, already have a stick 🙄 Not too surprised that it escalated this way.
  7. As usual the video is quite poor. So hard to decide why the lane becomes dark after he undertakes. A big puddle which would support the idea of hydroplaning combined with senseless speeding.
  8. Checked once for EUR and USD and found no difference.
  9. Too much news is bad for mental health. I recently started a "no news" after dinner practice. That includes forums. Saying that, I think that forums and "social media" are far more dangerous. In the evening I only consume entertaining/funny stuff. When a mate living in Thailand(!) bombards me with bad news from back home I mute him. There are exactly two news from home country that I follow: pension (rise) and value of the Euro.
  10. Nawamindra Maharaj Day Had to think twice. Translates for the clueless foreigner as: King Bhumipol remembrance day. Died on October 13, 2016. No disrespect but here there is no indication for a big travel home event. Will the 13th be alcohol ban?
  11. Just played with their exchange rate site. And I am astonished that booths in Soi 13 and 14 offer 2 Satang (0.02) more than others for USD. Maybe due to the competitor in Soi13/2 "Damini". Damini usually offers a up to 5 satang more than TT. Only worth an extra walk/ride for real big amounts.
  12. TT has now even a booth at the basement of Central on the beach. Open from 10:30 or 11 AM. Sounds like you want to pay the Baht to an SCB account. And of course SCB has a micro branch at Central. Passport required to pay cash to account (or ATM card at the machine).
  13. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 96 seconds  
  14. I just completed this quiz. My Score 100/100 My Time 70 seconds  
  15. Thanks a lot. Very helpful. Surprised that my threat has lived up again.
  16. Super dramatic warning for Bangkok. International weather centers forecast rain over the next days with amounts from 5 to 15 mm. Check back in two days.
  17. Hopefully this is just a nasty bug. Terrible to handle.
  18. Completely unrelated to what my post is about but thanks for posting 🙄
  19. What's makes me sick: this criminal will likely be on the road again. In civilized countries he would be locked behind bars
  20. Last transfer to Bangkok Bank was Nov 1 early morning. Arrived in the afternoon same day. In four years or do there were not more than 2 anomalies/delay. I transfer Euro from the WISE account. Transferring from German bank to WISE is a different story. Friday to Monday... At least one working day. Have you seen when the money arrived at WISE?
  21. As the name was carefully wiped from the photo I refrain from naming.
  22. Soi 13/1 to be precise. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7Qj2YcnAvUdj5v718 Some "Scandinavian" bar with room to rent.
  23. In other words: wonderful weather and no monsoon in sight.
  24. Your ignorance is hard to beat. Some unrelated comments about delivery riders and repeating the nonsense about the girls riding wrong way. THEY WERE NOT! Post above yours too much to read?
  25. And it's a divided(!) highway (3215). So all lanes in the photo go one direction. Bet this drunk scum turned into the road wrong way and the poor kids were the unlucky first. Otherwise it could have been a truck to truck collision. 119 mg (1.19 per mille). There is absolutely no need to blame the victims!
