When did the health insurance law happen?

I'm exaggerating slightly, it's required for O/A visa extension. Not for all foreigners. Sorry.

For anyone who can't wade through the windy linked article/apology: If you want to prevent both Apple and Google from adding your router to their databases, you can add _nomap to your SSID. For example, if your wifi SSID is currently John Appleseed Home, you can change it to John Appleseed Home_nomap.

Just a comment. https://www.rd.go.th/english/6045.html The last category of assessable income is: 8. income from business, commerce, agriculture, industry, transport or any other activity not specified earlier . In the UK this ridiculously vague catch all wording would be construed by courts against...

When it moved to the new airport, hardly anyone used it. I was alone on the plane a number of times (pilot plus co-pilot) and even had calls from them on a sunday afternoon asking if i could get the HH airport 2 hours early as there was bad weather expected between HH and BKK ! This sounds crazy! H...

Thanks for the info Rats. Apple are evil

Is there any reason why planes cannot take-off or land over the sea now or in the future? If you are interested the following may help: http://www.thaiflyingclub.com/linkairporthuahin.html Caution: His Majesty The King's Palace is off the end of Runway 16.

The second series of The Responder is sometimes dark but very human, like the first. Morgan Freeman as usual plays brilliantly as a man living in a pressure cooker environment, and the black actress who plays another police officer is superb I think. Also the late Bernard Hill's last acting role. Th...

My favourite film of all time is Viv Stanshall's Sir Henry at Rawlinson End. I'd never heard of this movie before but after reading about it on here I watched it on YouTube the other night and it is intriguing, it's either madness or genius, I'll have to watch it again to decide which! If you watch...

My superficial understanding is that Thai's and Farangs with Work Permits can opt to pay into the 400B scheme. It looks like farang must have a yellow Tabien Baan or be registered on a House Registration (maybe that means being named in a house Blue Book?). https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-soci...

Hello Buks, I have no recommendations as I often can't sleep in places that cheap! The places very near Suva are either very cheap or expensive. Last time I stayed in The Quarter Onnut hotel off Soi 58. Far enough from the centre to be able to travel to the airport without the road madness but still...

Abigail is excellent. Real shlock horror and funny too.

OK, if not naughty kids, why do they ignore the advice from the airline, which has been given for their own comfort/safety? What collective description would you give? These are probably the same kind of people who come to Thailand, hire a motorcycle with no valid licence and refuse to wear a helme...

They work hard and are very genteel and decorous. I also love the way the pinafore strap crosses over at the back. It's a perfect nurse uniform.

BB, she's a credit to you.

When in HHH for my wife, I fell in love at least once a day with a crisp young nurse walking the ward. There's something very special about that uniform! I wouldn't act on it, but when I married God didn't pluck out my eyes.
