Thai Airways flight runs off runway in Bangkok storm scare
Back in the day, Thai had some Scandinavian pilots in the planes. There was an agreement with SAS to provide them. -

Married 20 years, war zone, no visa - denied entry to evacuation aircraft
Good grief, I find it difficult to believe that they were unaware of the UK's Visa requirements. I think 99.9% of UK expatriates are well aware - and 100% of those who use this Forum. Seems like the BBC are just trying to make a fuss. -

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
Two things can be true at the same time. Phuket can be a hostile, rip-off hellhole for some, and an idyllic location for the long term expat type. The sanctimonious among the expat types giggle about the continual rip-off stories in downtown Patong, but not so much when they venture into the same areas and are treated with equal contempt. Phuket is well on its way to being the second Benidorm of Thailand. I think its a good thing that Pattaya and Phuket take in that mass tourist market and give the rest of the country a chance to crack on. However, I'll put my hands up to this - I'm CM biased, but the CM we saw between 2016 and the start of COVID was also descending to Benidorm levels. That's why I and many others fled the city to the countryside. Years ago I predicted that CM would become the Singapore of the North. COVID interrupted that but with the influx of Chinese money, high speed rail plus a new international airport, downtown CM will grind to a halt. That's only the first problem - land prices downtown have gone nuts. Within twenty years cheap Chiang Mai will be eradicated. Phuket is already well down that road and property developers will choke the place to death, as they will also do in CM. -

help needed for configuring Prime H370 Plus for NVMe RAID
update: I'm on track to solving the problem(s) the bluescreens were caused by faulty sata cables. I looked into the connectors and they seemed corroded, so I swapped them out and no more bluescreens. after that, I played around with some BIOS settings and finally I got Intel RST to work. in Intel RST, I noticed one of the NVMe disks had "status: unknown and usage: unknown", while the other had "status: normal and usage: available". so I swapped these drives out for another pair, and all worked as expected, I could create my RAID 1 volume in BIOS and it shows up properly in Intel RST and windows. So all I have to do now is clone the system disk onto the RAID volume and set it as boot disk in the BIOS. -

Suvarnabhumi Visa Exempt - Change of Tactic Applied
Spare a thought for extensions based on retirement. For married guys annual extension it's a sweet deal. Basically living in Thailand the 400k would sustain living (family) for few months as it can be used after stamp from under consideration period. Thinking OP is basically a nonsense. -

Trump Urges Israel to Strike Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
There are some analysts who claim an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would only slow down the development process by a year or two. If Iran developed nuclear weapons would the leadership be prepared to commit national suicide by deploying them, rather than as a deterrence. A very long shot, but would Western powers again be able to develop an agreement with Iran to reverse the stupidity of trump's unilateral decision; I assume not. -

Truth Social is a Target Rich Environment for Scammers
From the linked article: "To be clear, this doesn’t just happen on Truth Social. Pig butchering is a scam that’s happening across the internet, from Facebook to Instagram, and it’s possible for even intelligent people to get swindled. But if you were a scammer, who would you think might be the easiest marks on the planet, ready to believe anything a conman might say? If you said Trump supporters, you’re clearly not alone." 😀- 1
