Bet not a single players name will reach further than 500 km from Bangkok.

Probably the most corrupt sports organization meets in Thailand. That fits to the atmosphere. Infantino from the same mountainous Swiss canton as his predecessor Blatter who is banned from the organization for proven cases of corruption. Infantino arrogant and corrupt like his predecessor in my opinion.

Absurd but true. He has many fanboys among German right wing extremists and outright (neo)Nazis. I think they see him as a new fuehrer/strong man. I remembered one of them that on May 9 the defeat of the German Nazis was celebrated. Message with no response.

That's what I will do tomorrow. Insist on expedited registration. In the meantime I get accustomed to Thai style and wait for the fine to come or not. As long as insurance is OK I don't loose sleep.

I had red plates and logbook on my first car 12 years ago. And that is WHY I started the thread. No need to play clever dick. If you read trough the thread you see that the situation is not unusual.

That's white collar 😁

There have always been lists/maps about crime hotspots in Bangkok. Nice one from 2022 found at Bangkok Post. Not allowed to link here. Google for "bangkok crime map" and you should see it. Worst "Bang" is Bang Rak. There were list from police with roads prone to drug dealing, petty crime...

Picked up my new car at the Toyota dealer today, fully paid. There is an insurance policy in my name and frame number of the vehicle. But as usual the car is not yet registered at the DLT (signed a power of attorney for the dealer) and sign plates might take a while. Dealer insured that there is no problem driving without plates and just show the insurance policy if stopped and advised against red plates. From observation its clear that quite frequently `vehicles without plates are on the road. But does anyone know written/unwritten rules about this?

And many in the West react with appeasement policy as been with Hitler.

Say more about the new AI era and you will be banned.

It was a perfect money maker for years in Pattaya 2nd rd left to Central (down to beach). Left turn on red was forbidden, sign in Thai language only. When cops were in the mood they could milk the tourists on scooter with no effort. Some kill joy has then installed a sign in English as you describe.

No. Other way round. There are signs explicitly forbidding left turn on red light. AND: of course you still have to stop and make sure there is no traffic. 99% ignored by Thai motorcyclist. Can turn always, anytime without even turning your head.

Walk in a fancy mall, get a coffee to go in a paper/plastic cup. When finished try to find a garbage can. Drive along a highway and see the rubbish flying off from the car ahead. ... Many other observations possible. In the Central malls that I visit, it's a detective job to find a garbage can.

Just don't forget your hoodie or scarf. When I used it, there was no way to avoid the arctic streams. Almost got sick from.

These "jobs" by women from foreign countries are decades old (flower selling, begging with rent a baby etc.). Guess they have just forgotten about due to the COVID break. Good luck with the appeal.
