I have two roundabout near my house, I would say only about 10% of drivers understand the rules of roundabout use, that could be fixed with enforcement, but TIT.

Unlucky. Now he will have to pay the cops and the couple he abused.   These pickup drivers are a constant nuisance throughout the country.

Absolute madness.  I know you are in danger driving in Thailand, and that people often don't follow the rules, but attacking other road users for doing so is a new one.

 

Many of the ignorant wretches on the roads here will get annoyed if you are complying with the road rules, and they themselves don't understand them. 

 

Quite common for them to get irate when they are told they should not overtake on the crest of a hill, on a blind bend or where there is a solid yellow line, etc.

 

Poor education, the local culture, a lack of desire to learn the right way, and an abysmal driver competency and licensing scheme is to blame.

      60 day tourist visa extension.

      Thanks for your reply. Am still waiting for her to confirm if she has visa exempt or actual visa (she is easily confused 🙂 ) Can the visa exempt be extended without leaving the country at any immigration office ?

      Undercover International police

      Anyone besides teens who targets a 16 year old for sex is a disturbed individual, should know better, and should be punished harshly. You let them get a fine or suspended sentence they'll do it again and again. The consent age under 18 is from disturbed officials who are thinking as a pedophile does. I haven't heard of anyone being prosecuted for nude photos of legal aged girls, although in some countries anything goes as far as the justice system is concerned. Idiots in power makes many wrong things happen.

      Google to build new cloud data centre in Chon Buri

      Photo courtesy of Wikipedia by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Google is set to enhance its footprint in Thailand by constructing a new cloud data centre in Chon Buri, announced Google’s president and chief investment officer, Ruth Porat. Porat engaged with Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra during the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Wednesday, January 22. The Google executive expressed gratitude towards the Thai government for its support in developing the cloud data centre in Chon Buri, which is currently under construction and expected to be operational within approximately two years. Porat confirmed Google’s ongoing support for Thai government agencies, including the Ministry of Education, with which Google has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for digital skills training. She also emphasised Google’s commitment to assisting Thai small- and medium-sized enterprises through upskilling initiatives. She noted this as evidence of Google’s resolve to sustain its presence in Thailand. Paetongtarn expressed her hope that Google would consider Thailand as a primary production base for its digital products, assuring that the government is prepared to facilitate Google’s growth in the country. The 38 year old Thai premier also engaged in discussions with Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter, who congratulated her on Thailand’s achievement in securing a free trade agreement with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). The Thai-EFTA free trade agreement is anticipated to significantly enhance trade between Thailand and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland by alleviating trade barriers such as tariffs. Switzerland ranks as Thailand’s second-largest trading partner in Europe. The leaders also explored the potential for a reciprocal visa-free agreement and Switzerland’s endorsement of Thailand’s green transition. Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Yesterday, the Thai PM observed the official signing of the Thai-European Free Trade Association (EFTA) free trade agreement. During the Davos visit, Paetongtarn and Foreign Affairs Minister Maris Sangiampongsa conferred with Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser to the Bangladesh government, and Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. Paetongtarn underscored Thailand’s dedication to enhancing trade and investment. She also communicated Thailand’s determination to finalise the Thai-European Union free trade agreement later this year and sought Sweden’s backing for this initiative, reported Bangkok Post. Thailand anticipates initiating free trade agreement discussions with Bangladesh and is eager to host the sixth BIMSTEC Summit on April 4 before transferring the summit’s chairmanship to Bangladesh. Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan mentioned in a panel discussion on Tuesday, January 21 that Thailand is fully prepared to welcome all investments in artificial intelligence.

      Got my TIN yesterday

      From what I understand, if you pay income taxes of 10k THB in Thailand on assessable monies remitted, you should be able to get a credit for that amount on your US tax return by filing IRS form 1116 (foreign tax credit).
