how many motorcyles are on the road with expired license plates or even with no license plate at all? Any updates on the status of photo tickets for speeding or running red lights? The plan was to integrate the fine system with the land transportation system so when an offender with unpaid tickets ...

they are a "half Ring Road" from the bridge down to Route 2 then east and back up to the River road.. It appears to be a full overhead clover leaf bridge that also overpasses the railway.
Thanks for the clarification, I dread to think of the carnage when that opens for public use.

Re: Thai High Speed Rail progress

I have not seen any mention regarding the concrete structures on the approaches to Nong Khai coming from Udon. There a number of what look like road off-ramps, which have serious curves. Any explanations?.

Re: shingles jab is it worth it ?

The following is from a medical website

Generally shingles is not contagious, but a person with active shingles can spread the virus when the rash is in the blister phase. It's important to keep the rash covered.

CPI in The UK next September may be around 7-9%, so those of us with Military pensions should see a nice uplift.

Re: New ONLINE 90 Day Reporting Procedure

This revised system has worked on 2 occasions for me, it has its faults but it works. The continued use of TM6 information, was completely pointless, and it makes sense that they stopped the need to input the information. Immigration sends you a timely reminder of the need to inform them you are sti...

Re: retirement visa

If Timmy is on a yearly extension of stay then it is a no-brainer but to go and complete another application to extend. Closed borders, Covid would make no difference.

Re: retirement visa

If you are on an extension of stay (retirement) why not go along and extend it for another year for 1900baht.

The Yorkies skin-on is a reasonable substitute . Best, in my opinion, is from C2MU, a Prime Foods product, thin, smoked with ma...
