  1. She will need to learn to drive UK style and follow the road laws, no Thai style driving in the UK. Key points would be: stay within the road lines Do not go over the yellow centre lines Learn how round abouts actually work. No over taking when there is traffic coming towards you. Stay within the speed limit.
  2. This is happening in many countries, who needs to go to war when you can take over by soft power, i.e money leanding. When the countries default then Chinese companies take over the running of the ports, railways etc.. Other ways they take over is we buy goods on line from Lazada, it is shipped arrives in Thailand then is delivered to you by Kerry, the chain from start to finish is China owned and the profits go back to China. There have been a number of well written reports on how China's loans are effecting the countries, here is a link to one from May 2023. https://apnews.com/article/china-debt-banking-loans-financial-developing-countries-collapse-8df6f9fac3e1e758d0e6d8d5dfbd3ed6
  3. In Chumphon province the Chinese are building huge warehouses from which they buy durian from the farmers and then ship back by chinses shipping containers to China. Soft takeover of the durian trade, I guess in a few years local buyers will be squeezed out and it will be a typical chinses operation from start to finish with all profits back to China, not good for Thailand. Once the train line is upgraded it will I guess go by rail direct.
  4. Four months left on your contract, stick with the contract would be my advice, gives you time to focus on work and time to get over what is happening. I know from experince that if a partner is seeing other men, that will not change plus you say she has asked for a divorce so you know already she is not staying. Life will get better.
  5. what a load of rubbish, you are saying it was all her fault?
  6. what a load of rubbish, you are saying it was all her fault? Why do you keep spreading these "if she had remained faithful" comments, what facts do you have? Can a person not be escorted back to her hotel by a friend? To be honest your comments are disgusting and victim blaming, you are a very sad excuse for a human to make comments about a person who has been murdered and is unable to defend themselves against your repeated comments.
  7. Would be interesting to know by how long he over stayed. One case last year a man was found to have over stayed by 15 years! With all the 90 day reporting and the modern age of computers, am sure they could have software that pings an expired visia?
  8. yes walk, and you say she wants a divorce. It is hard to leave someone when you love them, yet what they are doing to you now is not from someone who loves you, the hurt and anger will only get worse if you stay. Many of us have been in the same situation, life will be a lot better once you get past her.
  9. Total over the top comments, "If it does all go to sheite one day, you must leave the country - you have no idea how things". If this was the case then there would be no farangs in Thailand. Yes some do over react, good idea not to live near the family in the first place.
  10. WOW! that was a message from her mother? Time to leave now.
  11. Sorry to hear the bad news. Think of this as a game of chess, plan your next moves carefully especially if children are involved. many of us have had simalar experinces, one thing I know if they are seeing other men then very unlikly they will stop. Wishing you all the best.
  12. https://ptm.police.go.th/eTicket website to find out whether or not they have unpaid fines.
  13. Officer from whar department? "make sure there is an officer with the group of police as that is also illegal".
  14. Had a few fines over the years, all ways had a photo, date, speed etc. There are more and more cameras on the overhead gantries across motorways, plus they have ways to catch you when you think you are following the speed limit, traveling from Chang Mai to BKK, I was in the 120klm lane, and I got 3 tickets. The speed said 118 to 116 on each, wife called the number on the ticket and pointed out our speed. Turns out when approaching a U-Turn section on the highway you must reduce your speed to 90klm, there were no signs on the road saying this. We paid up on two tickets (500 baht each) the third we were let off, cannot remember why.
  15. My GF had a 100,000 debt when we meet, only found out about a year after we meet. I told her I would not pay it; my view was if I paid the debt then she would not learn the lesson about money and loans. She had to arrange to pay the debt off, the 100,000 was spread over 5 credit cards. She did a deal with the banks said she only had x amount and they reduced the amount. All clear now, she has learnt the lesson. Lucky for me her family are financially well off so no worries of them asking me for money. If you lend any money to the family do not expect to get it back, do expect they will be back with their hand out. If you and your wife own land, be careful the wife doesn’t take a loan out to pay the mother. If the mother has no assets, no land etc. Then file to be bankrupt, easy way out.
  16. South Korean TV series A Shop for Killers, subtitles, good series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26450613/
  17. If the house is in the same name as the owner of the land then sold togeather. A friend bought some land last week, had a house on the land, had to go to the sellers bank first to pay the 2million the seller had borrowed from the bank so they could get the land papers, then found out the house was in another persons name, seller sorted that out (I assume there were some papers for the house) then friend paid the balance and is now the owner of land and house. Buyer beware comes to mind.
  18. So it goes down by 10% if not sold at each auction stage, thank you for the link. I did try finding the info on google, yet no luck, so came here to ask.
  19. Hi, Anyone know what the stages are for the selling of a property the bank has reprocessed? I have heard there are 3 prices/stages in the selling. If anyone has more info on if this is true, it would be good to know as am looking at a house to buy that has sat empty for about one year as the bank try's to sell. 1) first selling price is based on current house/property price within the market 2) Second selling price, if not sold at first price then the price is dropped to a lower price. 3) Third selling price, if not sold on second price, price is lowered. 4) If not sold it goes to government auction.
  20. depends where you live, outside of the big citys no problem with queues and I have two PTT and three Bangchak stations all with in 3klm and on my way home. Plus points on the card and free bottle of water.
  21. A stick the dogs will see and keep their distance, do not turn your back to them as that is when they will attack. Do know that if you hit a dog with a stick and someone reports you then the law is in favour of the dog and you can get a very serious fine or jail.
  22. agree, these "kids" need to go to jail, as it appears from the parents statements they are self-entitled p***ks I am from NZ and I am ashamed with what they did and all over a 500 - 1,000 baht fine! Stupid.
