Residence Certificate for DLT - Mae Sai or Central immigration?
Does anyone have recent experience obtaining a residence certificate from either Mae Sai immigration or the one in Central? I will need to renew my license without much time to spare before renting a car, so I'm trying to be as efficient as possible. I have never used either immigration office previously so I'm not sure which one would be best for me to go to, since I'll be about halfway between the city and Mae Sai. Thanks! -

Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
Frustrating and very stupid. What about the drivers? It is all about educating people when they are in the 6th grade. Then, continuing until they reach driving age. Add, the engineering of the roadways. The Cops could do more, but can only do so much the Thai drivers are totally uneducated about safe driving. I bet many of thee accidents are follwing too closely and running red lights. Following someone at 1 metere while driving 120 is a death trap they are so clueless. Sadly, I doubt it will ever change I just stay to the left and driver very cautiously. -

Is Bitcoin going to zero?
When did I say that there is a guarantee? Like all investments with high potential for gain, there is a risk of losing. It all depends when you step in and when you want out. And by the way, real estate can lead to losses too. I simply said that your answer "invest in gold" is not a way to make money, which is what the person you were replying to wanted. But we are beating a dead horse, goodbye. -

Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
File photo Advocates are raising concerns about insufficient enforcement of road safety laws, which they believe is significantly contributing to Thailand's staggering road fatality rate. On average, the country registers around 48 road deaths daily. Speaking at a recent event marking the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, advocates pressed for immediate improvements in law enforcement. The event, supported by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation at the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre, threw light on Thailand's grim statistics. Last year alone, 17,498 people lost their lives in traffic accidents, illustrating a dire need for changes to road safety regulations. Surachai Liengboonlertchai, who chairs a parliamentary road safety subcommittee, stressed the importance of remembering victims and pushing for systemic changes to prevent future tragedies. The call for action is echoed by Ratchanee Supawatjariyakul, president of the Road Traffic Accident Victims Empowerment Network, who has personally been affected by these statistics. She lost her daughter to a road accident involving an off-duty police officer in early 2022. Advocates argue for tougher amendments to the Land Traffic Act and the Vehicles Act to deter violators through harsher penalties and faster legal processes. Revising how driver's licences are issued, with more stringent tests, is also recommended. Key proposals include capping speed limits in urban areas at 50 km/h, increasing fines for motorists who neglect pedestrian crossings, and penalising motorcyclists who invade pavements. Additionally, tighter penalties for drink-driving offenders are urged to include both imprisonment and fines. Joining the discourse, Dr Withid Sariddeechaikool of the Food and Drug Administration cautioned drivers against medications that impair alertness, contributing to Thailand's ranking as having the ninth-highest rate of road traffic accidents globally. Such holistic attempts aim to curb the nation’s distressing road fatality statistics effectively, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-18
