  1. Once deported, am sure his wife will stay to look after the elephant business,
  2. Tour operators should be arrested and their boat seized, this will send a message to all tour operators to follow the law, explain to tourists, "look do not touch" that is the best way to get the message out
  3. And now he is appealing his conviction. Not good for her mother to go through this again.
  4. Why ridiculous? did this not just happen? Now the sister has had charges dropped so will be home soon.
  5. Law abiding guys still have there guns and there are plenty out there, just not the semi automactic guns. As to who would be in charge? Who knows and the number of ordinary citizens out number the gangs.
  6. 1) Local Thai Department of Land Transport 2) Need a car pasport that proves you own the car and it is not stolen and being taken to Laos to sell. 3) Not sure on the price of the car passport 50 to 100 baht maybe. 4) People do drive in Laos on just a Thai drivers license, I was being careful with having an International drivers license in case I had an accident and then the insurance would pay 5) Because I could not get a Intl license as have not had my thai 5 year license for a complete year, I did not take my car into Laos. 6) left my car in a secure parking compond on the left hand side of the road just before the Thai border checkpoint, cost 100 baht a day. 7) Car insurance you buy for Laos on the Laos side of the border at the office. 😎 parking illegally can lead to having the car wheel clamped, seen it happen in Luang Prabang, the police did not release the car until the local paid, they did give him a receipt. What is legal parking and what isn't I do not know in Laos.
  7. NZ is part of the "Five Eyes" spy programm so may well be a target, and if you think Australia would be safe they also are part of the "Five Eyes". Saying that, being so far from the rest of the world we may have a slim chance of surviving .
  8. Can you please list these Backpacker murders? I know there have been some murders, not aware of any unsolved. Also do remember that backpacker murders happen in many countries, the first one I heard of was the Jennifer Beard backpacker murder in New Zealand in 1969, the muderer was never found. As for the Swiss man, he started this action and so will reap what he sowed, seeing him on TV giving an excuse that he thought they were Chinese, even if they were is that an excuse for acting the way he did? If you have lived in Thailand for a long time, you should know how it works, best not to go looking for trouble.
  9. You need to get paperwork from the Thai car department, where you pay your car tax, A car out passport. You need to buy car insurance on the Laos side of the border for the period the car is there. We were going to take our car but could not get an international driving license as I do not complete holding the Thai 5-year licence until July. Many people just drive over on their Thai license, I was worried if I had an accident then insurance would not pay out. Do be careful were you park, seen a car get clamped and the police did not release it until they were paid.
  10. I already noticed and added another post as I could not edit the original. Should be $114,000 a day, though I see some news outlets say $112,000 to $113,000 a day. It is still alot of money and will hit him hard in the pocket.
  11. $114,000,000 million dollars a day in interest on top of the $450million he has to pay, this is the only thing that hurts him, plus there is the other $83million he has to pay E Jean Carrol and do not forget his lawyers he needs to pay. Slow train crash
  12. The line I liked the most "The average country club director and wedding planner"
  13. Thank you, I could not find it after a few searchs.
  14. I cannot find the movie 2024 page on ASEAN, anyone have a link please?
  15. over thinking the wai in Thailand, I think Thais in general would like the show of respect.
  16. I use wise all the time, but for very large sums (6million baht) it is not so good that is why I am looking for an app that gives a better rate than the bank, looking at currency solutions.
  17. Hi, Wondering which app out there is good for bringing in Euro to buy land,
  18. A friend who went on a two week holiday last month around the North of Thailand found when he went to do his 90 day reportig was told they now had him registered at the hotel he stayed in for one night near Chaing Mai. and not at the home address in the south he has been living at for 10 plus years. File updated all is okay
  19. I guess he had a motor bike license and an international license and that is why the insurance paid out, it would be interesting to know. So many times, people have insurance and when they have a motor bike accident it is discovered they do not have a license for a motorbike. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
  20. an yet your oringinal comment was made as if it was fact. Fake news
  21. When you see the shop inside the school selling this junk it is a concern as well. Also look at the milk drinks sold, promoting all the vitamins, anything from 3% to 12% sugar.
  22. Best to enjoy your remaining years far far away from her and the family, as you said if you talk to a women all hell breaks out. Cut your loss and be happy far away. One other thing family is family, they may be nice but will always side with her.
