Why does it take so long to receive mail from Australia?
Mail from the UK used to arrive within 2 weeks when I first moved here 16 years ago. Now it's a month if you are lucky, Thai Post are crap. -

Feel sorry for AN posters who bought electric
This is like playing with statistics isn't it? You can manipulate the data so that it paints the picture YOU want. Most ICE (petrol) can run on 91 to get to the nearest garage. Diesel vehicles only have 1 grade. Most farmers would have both types of fuel (diesel and petrol) on their farm... If they are real farmers. I would say that farmers which have generators (Not all farmers) also use this fuel to power said generators. Naturally construction sites that don't have a power grid nearby will require generators. How else are they going to operate? What runs these generators? There are 2 types of electrical power: AC and DC. Not one. -

Toppings for toast?
There is a campaign in the UK to bring back Toast Toppers. Heinz have no immediate plans but are taking notice of the FB group. Heinz have stated 'never say never'. https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/29846995/heinz-confirms-iconic-staple-axed-shoppers-beg-return/ Fingers crossed. Just surprised one of the supermarkets haven't come up with their 'own brand' version.- 2

Is Thailand Value for money
If billioner, I would travel first class, and stay more at 5 star hotels, and more 5 star restaurants, but my lifestyle wouldnt change much in the daily life. Im all set doing what I want in life. I would buy more land in Thailand and Norway of course. -

The Republican Freak Show
The vile orange blob who campaigned on statements like 'I am so rich you wouldn't believe it' is now reduced to selling watches to fund his living expenses, such is the depths of the abyss they have sunk to. I can't wait to see the next watch seller turning up at a beer bar with a fake one. It will be just like him, a total fake, hilarious -

Transport Department Clarifies Fatal Bus Fire Incident to Committee: CNG Leak Confirmed
In a heated meeting at the House of Representatives on October 3, the Transport Commission grilled officials from the Department of Land Transport regarding the recent fatal bus fire on a school trip. The bus, equipped with modified gas tanks, suffered a catastrophic gas leak that led to the tragedy. Jirut Wisalchit, the Director-General of the Department of Land Transport, expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and provided a timeline of the events. Jirut stated that he had visited the scene after the fire was extinguished and had engineers inspect the vehicle. According to Cheep Nomsean, Director of the Automotive Engineering Office, the inspection revealed that the right rear door mechanism of the bus was functional, and the bus was a single-decker with a lower compartment for luggage. No tyre explosion was found; instead, it was discovered that one of the 11 gas tanks had come loose, causing a gas leak. Furthermore, the front axle had broken, dragging against the road and sparking the fire. The Director-General also noted that another bus with similar gas tank installations was identified and would be inspected immediately. The Transport Department has issued five directives in response to the incident: 1. Inspect all 13,426 public and private buses using CNG within 60 days. 2. Raise the standards for non-scheduled public buses, which currently lack stringent regulations . 3. Collaborate with the Ministry of Education and schools nationwide to ensure that all vehicles used for student and elderly transport are thoroughly inspected before each trip. 4. Introduce laws mandating that staff on buses are trained in emergency response and passenger assistance. 5. Implement regulations requiring operators to inform passengers of emergency procedures, similar to those on airlines. During the meeting, Nakhon Sawan MP Peeradech Siriwansan and Khon Kaen MP Chatchawan Apirakmankong raised concerns about the number of gas tanks on the bus, questioning why five extra tanks had been installed beyond the original six. They also pointed out the failure of inspectors to notice these modifications during registration and vehicle checks. Jirut confirmed that the bus had indeed been modified with five additional tanks, and the investigation would determine responsibility for the oversight. The eighth tank, which was not part of the official inspection, was found to be the one leaking gas. Further questions were raised about the vehicle’s age, as it was first registered in 1970 and re-registered in 2018 after extensive modifications. The Commission asked whether the vehicle’s true age should be counted from its initial registration or its more recent reconfiguration. The Department of Land Transport has suspended the operator’s license for the company involved and confirmed that the driver’s license would also be suspended pending the investigation. If found guilty, both will face severe penalties, including permanent revocation of their licenses. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities working to establish the full circumstances behind the incident. Police forensic teams will release additional findings, and legal action will follow based on the results. In response to ongoing concerns, Chiang Mai MP Cheongchai Chaleerin added that CNG tanks, while difficult to ignite, could pose risks if leaks occurred, and stressed the need for thorough inspections of all similar vehicles.

Help on "Retirement Visa"
I'd be doubtful of both explanations. If you view the above image, I posted, you'll note that when I updated my passbook at an ATM on 25/12/23, it was less than 3 months since I previously update the book and certainly far less than 30 transactions, but it still consolidated the transactions between 31/10/23 to 25/12/23. Had I gone in the branch, they would have printed every transaction between those dates. -
