Security at walking street wreaking havoc
Agreed. I was in Pattaya a year ago - first time since 2014 - I found the 'talent' anything but appealing. Real rough stuff. Not nice at all. -

Yeah, I wonder what would actually happen in case of an accident in Thailand while holding an IDP… Would the insurance cover the driver? -

Mark Zuckerberg's Swing to the Right, Brings Dana White onto Meta Board
Yes, on paper Mark Zuckerberg's voting power in Meta Platforms (Facebook) is 56.9%. And yes, he has influence. However, the USA has three popular types of litigation that interfere with Zuckerberg's grand designs; 1. Oppression Remedies and request for relief: These include actions arising from allegations of of fraud, or unfairness, or illegitimacy. These actions relate to claims by minority shareholders where the majority shareholder(s); -redirected the company’s net profits to their own advantage - took actions that diluted shares - denied access to information or restricted or blocked minority participation - made unfair dividend distribution 2. Derivative action litigation where minority shareholders will file a lawsuit against the majority shareholder(s) alleging management wrong doing or breach of fiduciary duty. 3. Employees who have a retirement plan that includes shares or deferred profit sharing can file fiduciary liability actions. And the fact is, the minority shareholders have been making Zuckerberg's life difficult. For example; - Nov 22, 2024: US Supreme Court allows shareholder lawsuit against Facebook to go forward. The lawsuit was brought by investors who claim they were misled by the social media giant about risks from a massive data breach. The suit was brought by investors, led by Amalgamated Bank, after Facebook’s stock price plunged in 2018 following news that the Republican-aligned political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had improperly obtained the personal information of 30 million Facebook users. -22 Oct. 2022: Shareholder Lawsuit Charges Meta Platforms with Prioritizing Profits over Shareholders, Class action on behalf of diversified shareholders says insiders willfully ignored costs the Company imposes on society and diversified investors to boost traffic on its platform and generate more ad revenue. -

Are more and more mainland Chinese trading in China for a life in Northern Thailand?
Agree. I was just going to say that the smart Chinese cash has always piled into real estate in San Fran, LA, Seattle, Vancouver, New York and to a lesser extent Toronto, Calgary, Florida and Texas. We're seeing some cash injections now in the smaller midwest cities of Canada and the States. Those home prices have only one way to go - UP. The USA and Canada are top tier Alpha +++ countries compared to Thailand, in terms of quality of life and basic working infrastructure. -

I don't try and gainsay... I'm just bemused by the fact that you think you are such an expert yet half of what you write is utter rubbish... -

Essential Driving Rules and Etiquette in Thailand
There are a couple of facets to this: Firstly - Thailand is a signatory to the 1968 Vienna Convention - those IDP's are valid for 3 years (the 1949 IDP is valid for 1 year). Different countries have varying information on how long a 'visitor' can drive, and that supersedes the validity of the IDP, but an added complexity there is the 'per visit' basis. In Thailand, its long been discussed that the maximum length someone can drive on their Foreign licence (and IDP) is 90 days... but I've never seen that officially mentioned anywhere - though it could be in insurance small print. Another facet: 'resident visas' - if someone holds a resident Visa (they are supposed to get a Thai Driving License... and I believe this creates the 'grey area' - I've never actually seen a time limit on using an IDP (when / if its required). With regards to licenses in English - there exists a bilateral agreement between some nations, Thailand allows those holding Driving Licenses in English Language to drive on their National License (I'm unsure of the time limit), and those same nations allow Thai Drivers to drive in their country. i.e. Thai's can drive in the UK for up to 12 months using their Thai license - there is no need for an IDP - and those with UK licenses can drive in Thailand (without an IDP). https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/thailand/transport/driving-licences (though not an official source - this sums it up). Also note: Its still of course advisable to have a Thai License here if you are a long termer. Text from the Thai Motor Vehicle Act- 1
