Big bike forced off road by car on Bangkok highway - video
It depends on which part of Vibhavadi Road you're referring to. Further north, there is no restriction on motorcyclists using the central lanes. Similarly, when passing Don Muang Airport, the frontage road vanishes, leaving motorcyclists with no other option but to remain in the main lanes. And yes, this distinction matters - because regardless of the legality of the motorcyclist's position, the car driver's actions were still reckless. If the issue you're highlighting is the car's dangerous driving, then the question of whether the motorcyclist was technically in the correct lane becomes less relevant. The real problem lies in the car making an erratic, unsafe lane change without checking for others, which is dangerous regardless of the motorcyclist's lane. Its the same issue when people were blaming the 'riders' (when the Thai pop star) hit the 3 people who'd stopped on the Bridge - regardless of where they stopped, it was still his fault for hitting a stationary object that he 'should have seen' - regardless of whether it was legal for motorcycles to be on that bridge and regardless of whether it was legal to stop on that bridge. The motorcyclists 'fault' was separate from the van drivers 'fault' in that example. The photo below illustrates a section of southbound Vibhavadi Road, near Don Muang Airport, where there is no frontage road, and motorcyclists are therefore permitted to ride on the main road, which would otherwise be considered the central lanes. The issue with Vibhavadi Road, however, lies in the inconsistent rules regarding motorcyclists' permission to use the main lanes. The "permission status" seems to switch back and forth along different parts of the road. This lack of consistency is quite characteristic of Thailand's roads and often catches both motorists and motorcyclists off guard. -

This web browser is the fastest ever used, It is lightning speed - Carbon web browser
For anyone interested .... I was getting tired of the slow waiting for Brave to open a page, Opera was the same .... I cleaned, defragged, optimized, deleted .... but still they were lagging. So I found Carbon web browser .... based on the Chromium ... Carbon is a free and open-source web browser developed by Carbon X Labs based on a custom fork of the Chromium web browser and its powerful Blink engine. It is super fast, it is super lightweight, it is superb to use, and makes opening webpages so much easier. Be aware : it's a 7z file, so you need Winzip or 7-zip to extract and install. I had some difficulty, but finally got the desktop icon. I won't be going back to Brave or Opera again .... that's for sure. I'll keep them on my desktop though. What browser do you use ? is it super fast ? -

METV or Visa Exemption for multiple short-stay entries? (+ internal flights).
That's because the METV is nearly useless now that visa exempts are 60 days, and I'm sure almost nobody else is bothering to apply for them. -

Worst Joke Ever 2024
Two blokes are walking their dogs. One has a labrador the other a jack russel. One suggests going for a pint but is worried they wont get in the pub with the dogs His mate suggests a pub nearby that lets guide dogs in, so they decide to try it by pretending to be blind. The one with the labrador goes in and orders a pint. The barman says, sorry mate, no dogs allowed unless they are guide dogs. The man says but I’m blind. The barman apologises and gives him a pint. The second one walks in with his jack russell and the barman says, sorry mate, no dogs allowed only guide dogs. He says but I am blind. The barman says, I’m not being funny mate but guide dogs are usually labradors. The second man replies, “Why, what have I got?” -

Remit vs. Credit card payment (under new tax rules)
All of the info I see for the equivalent situation in the U.K. says that it’s classed as remittance just as a point of interest. So that is enjoying goods or services in the U.K. paid for with credit and pay the debt with world wide income. That makes me pretty uncomfortable with this supposed magic bullet. -

Money changers in Pattaya
Big bills are lighter 😉 to carry in suitcase.... In and out. USD is The King wordwide. A few years ago I got better rate for $ than Euro in Dalat, Vietnam! Nobody wanted Euros despite it was stronger than USD. Last year they accepted and Euro rate was stronger, as in Thailand.
