[Anutin tells Swiss man Urs Fehr he should go home]

27 minutes ago, Banana7 said:

Anutin is just trying avoid wasting Thai administration resources and Fehr's money. Fehr's visa has already been canceled and even if the appeal is successful in a court, Anutin indicates he can deport Fehr.

 

Anutin is also sending a clear message to all foreigners, Thailand doesn't tolerate foreigners who assault Thai people and try to buy their way out of situations that causes social unrest. 

What about the Russian who was "punished" with a fine for kicking the pregnant Thai lady? Any comment from a nut in charge on that one or is he waiting to top up his Swiss bank account?

I know that when you take money from your Thai bank account in another province you get charged for it. But what about when you deposit money into your bank account in another province? Do all banks in Thailand charge you for this also?

Yes with SCB

I live in Bangkok.  Yesterday we had 3 hours of rain in the morning.  There was no smell of smoke.  And the air quality seemed to be OK.

Unfortunately today in Bangkok, the smog is back; there has been no rain; the AQI for PM2.5 is on the increase and there is no apparent action from the PM's office apart from a lot of hot air.

I have had Bolt drivers say they want cash when I am already paying on my CC through the app.

They were ok when I explained that though.

Another Bolt driver messaged me before pickup that he wanted cash so I canceled as same problem, and I don't want to pay twice.

Has never happened to me with Grab.

I had a BOLT driver yesterday (Jomtien to Laemchabang) wanting to increase the fare from 242 to 300 because it was out of his way. I told him to cancel the ride and booked another.

Luckily, two stewards and a couple of us passengers subdued him and he was handcuffed to his seat. He was greeted by the police in Bangkok.
