Seems you have ordered a replacement number plate from your old province rather than re-register your vehicle in Chonburi or where ever when you would have got new plats straightaway. Well that is what Inthinknhappened. -

Foreign Tourist Swallows Traffic Ticket in Odd Pattaya Incident
It might depend on where it is happening. Random road blocks out of town, I might agree, but I watched them at work on The Beach Rd once in front of the station. Definitely picking out more farangs.... they were helping by mostly not wearing helmets though. It is collection season for the big party. -

Navigating Pattaya: Are Thai-Language Signs Confusing Tourists?
File photo courtesy: Facebook Pattaya Watchdog EDITORIAL Pattaya, known for drawing millions of tourists worldwide, is a cultural hub teeming with international visitors. One pertinent question for those exploring this bustling city is whether the prevalence of Thai language signs might bewilder non-native speakers. As Thailand's official language, Thai naturally dominates public signage—including road signs, business names, and public notices. Although these signs showcase Thailand's rich cultural heritage, they can pose a navigation challenge for visitors unfamiliar with the Thai script, characterised by its distinctive and intricate characters. In response to global tourism demands, Pattaya has endeavoured to mitigate language barriers. Most signage in tourist-heavy zones, such as main streets, public transport, and dining establishments, is bilingual, featuring English translations or Romanized versions of Thai names. This initiative greatly eases navigation for international guests. Furthermore, key tourist attractions like Walking Street, Jomtien Beach, and prominent shopping areas frequently display signs in additional languages, including Russian, Chinese, and Korean, reflecting the city's diverse visitor base. That said, some challenges persist, particularly in less tourist-centric areas where English signage might be less common. Visitors who venture beyond the primary tourist locales may need to rely on language translation apps or seek assistance from locals to comprehend signs. Additionally, while English signs are relatively widespread, minor errors or unclear translations can occasionally lead to misunderstandings. Despite minor obstacles, Pattaya’s commitment to multilingual signage, combined with the helpfulness of its residents, generally ensures that tourists can navigate the city comfortably, writes Pattaya Mail. For many visitors, deciphering Thai language signs can become a memorable part of the travel experience, enriching their adventure in this dynamic destination. Ultimately, while there may be brief moments of confusion, the city's efforts and its welcoming atmosphere help tourists feel at ease as they explore its vibrant streets. -- 2024-12-23 -

Is Syria's new leader a "good man" ?
As the US representative said, "it would be rather awkward having a discussion with someone that had a 10 million reward on their head". I'm more concerned that Turkey may force him into a proxy war against the Kurds. -

Ex-MP Claims Thaksin is the True Leader of the Government
That's amazing to the point it's nearly unbelievable. But what a recovery, from his death bed to running the country, golfing and jet setting around meeting foreign leaders - it's a miracle in the true sense, next is Sainthood.
