  1. hay your preaching to the Choir here, It was just a comment that many people are alcoholics and go unnoticed, and no one is crying about the alcohol usage and shop selling it.
  2. so you are saying that all people that use cannabis are Brain Dead Halfwits, You would be very surprised how many people that consume cannabis are full functioning members of the workforce and community, and you would have no idea that they are consuming Cannabis. i am sure some are in very high profile jobs and leaders. Same goes for Alcohol, but no one are saying anything about that.
  3. This is where the education of wearing helmets should start, in schools, have classes for road safety and teach the kid about the damage that not wearing a helmet can cause, i am sure if it was part of the curriculum it would be a good start, but the schools system don't care less.
  4. So the campaign will finish on the 2nd June due to lack of interest or to much hard work for the RTP.......
  5. Why use a visa run agent, why not just find a cheap flight to a neighboring country, fly in and fly back on the same day, you don't even have to pass through immigration in the country you visit, Just transit through the airport and fly back to Thailand and enter. I am sure you can find some cheap flights, which are less then the price quoted for the visa run. I know which one I would be doing....✈️
  6. I assume that since Thai want to resume flights to the US, they need to up their safety and security measures, so i am guessing that this is one of the steps
  7. Its the same very year, they talk about road safety before Songkran and then it gets forgotten Why don't the RTP have more active policing of roads and not just the static police check points I live in Khon Kaen and I know exactly where the police set up the daily check points with speed cameras, so if you are passing these area you just slow down until you pass So every one know where they can speed and not to speed, Many time there are check points in the town center and you see bike rider, riding the opposite direction as they see the check point and turn around to avoid the police, why don't the police have some one positioned to get all that turn around All this would mean more work of the police but it would contribute to reducing the road carnage and why not start with road safety in schools and teach the kid from an early age, this is done in many other countries, why not Thailand
  8. I use a Shoei neotec 2 modular helmet, the fit is great and ventilation is good. low wind noise It cost a little more then other brands, but i want to protect what's inside, I am on my second one as i had an accident and smacked the road surface very hard with the helmet, didn't get any injuries myself but i have never used that helmet again, just went and got another one, consumable item.
  9. How much did she ask for her sick buffalo 🐃 And make sure when you transfer all your money to Thailand make sure you transfer it to her account, I'm sure she is trust worthy, she sound genuine and a keeper...🥰😍🤑🤑
  10. The picture posted in the article for sure has been photoshopped, because the puppet strings have been remove, and you see the other Muppet in the picture as well, who is ruling the country, its not hard to see.,🤓
  11. I have never allowed anyone to sit in the back of my pickup, if it is more then 5 people which are seated in the pickup, then some miss out on going or they find other transport.
  12. When i got my D-Max pickup i told my wife and her family that if they don't wear a seat belt in the pickup we will not be going anywhere, they have learnt fast and now many years later whenever they now get into any car they all wear seat belts,.. I little education can work if you push the point...
  13. Have you thought of using DHL or Fedex to send your new passport as the Canada Post is striking, I am sure these companies are still working taking advantage of the strike
  14. I do a lot of riding in Thailand, I only ride with full gear, I have a Shoei helmet which are not cheap, riding jack and pant with armor in the elbow, knees, back and riding boots. I ride a 1000cc touring bike, i only ride it on long trips, and when i arrive at my destination i park the bike at my nights accommodation and if i go out i will either walk or take a taxi. I never take the bike out for small rides On the occasion that i have stayed in Chiang Mai i will ride my bike but i still wear my entire gear when i ride to visit some friend in different areas of CM Where i live i live in Khon Kaen i don't own a scooter and if i want to some where around town i will drive my car, When i am out touring i am very aware of other vehicles on the road and anticipate that some drive will do any crazy things, so far in 15 years of riding i have only come off my bike once, which was my own fault and i damaged my bike enough that i could not ride it and luckily i did not get injured, but my helmet took a huge hit to the side and i have never used that helmet again. so for my it full gear or i don't ride
  15. I'm sure the cops that are investigating traffic accidents are watching the porn (for investigative reason of course) instead of investigating the traffic accidents..
  16. Finally a poster that make sense, i am sure that it was a one off incident that was an accident in the kitchen It can happen in any kitchen, having worked in the food industry for 35+ year i have seen this happen once or twice in my career. accidents happen I'm surprised one of the keyboard warriors have not blamed the staff member for being high at the time on the so called devils lettuce.
  17. I am guessing the the customer cannot name the Company but they serve Pizza...….🍕😆 I am not defending the Pizza chain but I work in the food service industry and accidents do happen, I am sure this was not intentional and as mentioned the restaurant will take care of medical cost if required.
  18. Look at the picture of her, it is obvious that she is not well 🤣, I'm sure big brother and his puppet daughter will take care of her.. The penthouse hospital bed is still warm, so she will be fine 2025 is the upcoming family reunion for Songkran....
  19. grubman replied to Mahseer's topic in Bangkok
    I had the same issue, i had a car part sent from Japan and received the same message. After contacting Fedex, i explained that i am not an importer and it is just a small car part for private use, i wash told i had 2 options, One to use an independent customs clearance company or get Fedex do the required import process at an additional cost, i had to send ,my passport copy and a signed form that Fedex sent to me to. in addition to the passport copy i needed to send the invoice or proof of purchase price, which i sent to them. I them got another email with the total cost including the import tax, in total it cost me another 1200 tbh to receive the package with my part. and today almost a week to receive the item once it arrived into Thailand Just seem to be a money grab by Fedex
  20. That would be a good idea if was all done above board But how are the top brass going to be able to afford their current life styles if all traffic violation are recorded and paid for officially with receipts. Will never happen in my life time......
  21. Do you think that expats are the only one that are ordering item from overseas, i am sure that the expat community is a very small percentage of orders that are being shipped from oversea. I'm sure there are many Thais ordering items from online platforms that are being shipped from oversea which will be including in the new tax grab Maybe the online platform can have the tax added in the final price, Amazon do this and you know the tax amount on check out...
  22. Prubangboy If you works for both of you then don't worry about what all the keyboard warriors have to say, it your marriage & happiness that matters
  23. why not fly from BKK to Udon Thani and then rent a car once you arrive in Udon, save all the driving time.
  24. This is the reason i always purchase fast track departure and arrival, other wise the queues are horrendous and i hate waiting in these queues Most time i have paid for fast track i am passed immigration in a matter of minutes I have had time that i am waiting for my luggage and the only other people waiting are the Thai national that don't queue with all the foreigners line many time off the plane and in a cab with in 30 minutes but the queues should not be as long as they are, the last time oi departed i neglected to get fast track due to the lateness of my company booking my flight and it took over 1.5 hour for departures immigration, they7 were stopping the security check because the line for immigration was back up the stairs near the security check. was a disaster and once i finall got down stairs to immigration there were on 3 or 4 counter open so totally understaffed and no one seemed to care Let hope that on day they might get it sorted but i'm not holding my breath
  25. One question, is the 400k the only option or are regular salary payment into the account monthly accepted The amount each months is over the 200k each month
