  1. As cruel as it sounds, would they want my neighbour's dogs?
  2. And that would be relevant to the accident and insurance coverage how exactly?
  3. Fair enough. Seems you have to take extraordinary steps though.
  4. Great, now we got foreigners telling us how to speak English!
  5. Yes, I have been told that too... they will sign and stamp anything for a bit of money. There is sometime a falang assistant in there that would guide you towards getting it done.
  6. Nothing wrong with going along with the way things are done and get done.
  7. And get paid for it at the same time apparently.
  8. I would simply do the rounds of the hospitals, The International, City Hospital, Memorial, Banglamung, and whatever that new Jomtien one.(It is associated with the BHP but may offer a better price).
  9. Well here there might be an opportunity to use the defamation law.... but I have seen plenty newspaper/media reports go out that are basically far off the mark.... I often think that discarding the first couple is a fair approach.
  10. Don't know if they have what you want for a fact, but 'Boy Air and Sound' often gets mentioned relating to car audio systems. Sukhumvit, North of town Southbound side just after Hwy 36 junction. https://goo.gl/maps/UkqdKn8bz6Cy3AAT8
  11. There seem to be in Pattaya Big-CX, real mayonnaise frequently out of stock.
  12. Yes, same same......1st extension done by an agent in my case.
  13. And I suspect the bare minimum cover, CTPL, doesn't want to either, even if he had that!
  14. I have always felt uncomfortable looking at the police in their uniforms... not that I have a guilty conscience, simply the uniform look hot, uncomfortable and usually rather tight. For the corpulent guys, the buttons seem to be pulled so tight, one fears one giving way and taking someone's eye out,
  15. Inane response...... Minivans have a well known reputation for a dangerous ride with reckless driving within Thailand. The OP question relates to a minibus in the Pattaya area to Bangkok... yet you choose to distract bringing up accidents in far flung countries. Even the OP is aware of that reputation.
  16. Yes, the picture seems to show that..... similar to when a BMW rear ended my Ranger truck.
  17. And how much of those high parts cost is perhaps attributable to government luxury taxation or other import taxes?
  18. And news of it happening is worthy I believe.... so many seem to suggest an ulterior motive and simply come looking for an argument.
  19. I wouldn't worry about that, the agents protect themselves.... and I suspect if the 800k was retained somehow, you would not be getting your passport back. I heard of 2 cases, one a pal, had to hand over ATM card and the PIN, he kept a near empty account for this purpose. He got an SMS of the money going in, and it being removed several minutes later. Another told me he never saw it happen and yet a bank letter appeared... he suspected they used their own account somehow. In some cases a senior IO can probably just sign off on there being no bank letter.
  20. That was being disputed recently on Sky as vacations in Belgium were being reported on.
