My little contribution to forum guidelines
OneMoreFarang replied to george's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I saw a post I didn't agree with. I didn't get offended. Why should I get offended if someone has another opinion? I posted on that thread that I disagree for this or that reason. And others posted their opinion. A discussion started about the subject. People exchanged ideas and opinions. Isn't that the whole idea about a forum? And isn't that the business of forums to have many people discuss issues? Or do you want something like: I saw a post I agreed with. I posted right away that I agree. And then 3 more agreed. We all agree. Nobody disagreed. Is that what you want? -
That is for the car only....passengers +1550 baht each.

For clarity, THAI never lost their FAA certification. The FAA downgraded CAAT to Category II status. Since THAI had no plans to serve the US, it was a moot point. THAI unaffected by FAA Category II status of Civil Aviation Administration of Thailand (CAAT) Bangkok, 1 December 2015 – Mr. Charamporn Jotikasthira, THAI President, said that due to the result of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) report from the audit of CAAT in October 2015, there remain oversight matters requiring the FAA to issue a Category II status to the CAAT, from Category I. A Category II status of the CAAT signifies that all air carriers certified under the CAAT are not able to increase flights or operate to new destinations in the United States of America. However, for THAI there is no commercial or customer impact as THAI had already ceased operations to its only US destination of Los Angeles as of 25 October 2015. Although THAI is no longer operating its aircraft to the USA, THAI continues to serve customers through codeshare and interline partners to USA destinations. THAI confirms its commitment to aviation safety standards, and assures all that THAI operates with the highest international aviation safety standards. https://www.thaiairways.com/en_GB/news/news_announcement/news_detail/FAA_News.page? -

Foreign man barely survives after being hit by a bus in Pattaya - Video

I accept the reality and drive as defensively and safely as possible. What other road users do I can't control so try not to worry about them, even though is very difficult sometimes witnessing the idiotic things that happened. -
Thai Banks To Face Rigorous Compliance Regulations Starting June
JackGats replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There would be freedom of movement of individuals they said. Then came the compliance/money laundering charade, and individuals got denied bank accounts except in their homeland, and then only provided they stayed to reside there. Soon we will have as much liberty of movement as the people in the UDSSR during the cold war. This will be achieved through the denial of banking services. -
Why is the Thai Countryside full of discarded rubbish?

There is a lot of truth in that,yes not many things of any value are dumped. There are always people over here making a small living out of recycling any thing of value. Sarcasm intended i think but also very accurate. -

I agree with that. Back when I was having a problem with a certain moderator they refused to respond to my e mails. So much for "contact support". -
So when I'm at Krung Thep and take the less expensive pubic trans, the bus, instead of driving, or a taxi, that means I'm not a quality tourist or expat. Being a non alcohol drinker or using P4P services and have a few million in assets with wife invested, and sending daughter to Uni .. and I'm not a quality tourist or expat. Not that any of those who do indulge in such, means they are not quality. As long as almost legal & must be consenting adults. Being thrifty or just enjoy a less expensive mode of transport, defines ones quality ... ... interesting, as I know a lot of well off A-holes that are the lowest of human beings. Both in their actions & thinking Some folks do things by choice, even though having other options, and some smartly live within their means. Yea, what he or she said below seems about right ..

Anutin Joins PM in Pot Stand, Urges Arrests of Foreigners
connda replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
He played his cards as openly racist back when he was handing out masks as the Health Minister and spewed the racist expletive toward foreigners who refused his "gift": "Ai farang," which roughly translates to "**** foreigners of European descent." And followed that with the comment that foreigners of European descent are dirty and don't shower. Imagine the Secretary of Health in the US saying that about Thais? Outrage! Thailand is a nationalistic country, and unlike Western countries which almost uniformly equate nationalism with racism and bigotry toward those who are not indigenous citizens of the country and encourage their citizenry to welcome foreigners as both guests and as migrants - Thai leadership revels and encourages nationalism with all of its warts and intolerance. As for foreigners? Of course foreigners are pretty much uniformly considered to be "bad" and "potential criminals" who must be constantly watched, surveilled, and monitored. And as one can see in articles published in Thai/Eng news outlets, Anutin is always on the forefront of battling foreign criminality and the threat that farangs pose to Thailand - real or imagined. By comparison - just imagine if the US Secretary of the Interior made a comment that the US needs to target "illegal" shops run by Thais in California who may not have work permits? There would be uniform outrage in the US media. And yet what Anutin just said is the equivalent here in Thailand and its the norm and perfectly accepted at all levels of society. Oh well - dirty, unwashed farang selling ganja in shops must be jailed and deported. "Ai farang!" -
My company is relocating from Vietnam to Thailand for work. As the title said, I have a Non-O + 1 year extension based on retirement valid until June 2024 in Thailand. The BOI agent asked me to cancel my Non O as soon as I will be back to Thailand in order to proceed Non B application at the Thai Embassy in Vietnam. I am travelling frequently (mostly every week) between the 2 countries). My question is: how do you cancel Non O / extension?

No it doesn't.. And yes, the age of COVID deaths in the UK and elsewhere has been periodically reported, including in posts here on this forum. But none of that changes the fact that older people who die from COVID, on average, would have otherwise had years left to live, because those who actually survive into their 70s and 80s (absent COVID) have longer life expectancies on average than the overall population averages at large. But, it is a common claim that COVID deniers make it order to falsely minimize the impact of the pandemic. Average Covid-19 victim dies years before they otherwise would What was claimed The average age of Covid-19 deaths is higher than the average life expectancy, which means that people who get Covid live longer. Our verdict This isn’t how life expectancy works. Life expectancy is an average, pulled down by people who die young. As you age, your life expectancy increases. People dying from Covid-19 lose about a decade of life on average. https://fullfact.org/news/boris-johnson-whatsapp-covid-life-expectancy-cummings/

Jeez how long does it take to repair a seat, take out a defected seat, take to a workshop for repair, I'd bet a M/C mechanic could fix them. One spare seat as a replacement.
