  1. Does the Government guarantee the loans it's staff take on in any way?
  2. More likely they cannot staff the toll booths and to prevent very long tailbacks.
  3. I am not convinced he ever will, If the domestic politicians can make some progress without him. He will not have reason, particularly with the potential jail time over his head. Back off to Dubai and his hookah.
  4. The senators are likely to vote per the will of those that appointed them, and may well extend that appointment.
  5. Likely not delivering to a dirty falang then!
  6. jacko45k replied to MJCM's topic in Pattaya
    It isn't far from Treetown... but there was a thread here saying the bars were less noisy of late.
  7. How about one of those weed cafes for a smoke to ease her lumbago.
  8. Yeah... I had not received mail for a while and asked the Mrs to go ask at the P.O.....next day a delivery put quite a few in my home mailbox. Were they keeping it in a box at the P.O. until it got too full?
  9. Yeah, that's where the OP has been buying from.
  10. Hardly a new idea. There is a temple near Bang Saray that takes in wayward people.... they take their phones off them and are subjected to a monks regime. (No not playing cards and drinking all day!)
  11. The reality is it simply does not end there.....from the 220 baht the ATM wants, the proposed 300 baht airport fee, the special price of everyday services, the selective treatment by traffic police, random littering accusations etc etc to the silly payments, fines and certifications immigration require... it can wear one down. Other than that, great place to retire......
  12. Well we cannot speak generally of Thailand as it varies place to place.... As far as Pattaya is concerned, it is not the liberal place where many whizzed around freely in the 1980s, without helmet between beaches and hotels. The police are more active... it is of course a money making exercise for them, and visiting tourists are a good source of it. The renters do not check your documents and rent out easily, they do not do the job of the police. The police will stop and fine you for not wearing a helmet, and also randomly to check you have an IDP. And possibly other infringements, real or imagined. You will likely get pulled over on Beach Rd, Dolphin roundabout, 3rd Rd, and other places the police are active.... they want to see an IDP I believe. An IDP can only be used up to 90 days after which a local licence is needed.
  13. Here we go...... get the red carpets ready and welcome him like a Russian tourist......
  14. Moving the cost from visas and such on arrival, and onto entrance prices to National Parks etc seems to be the latest cunning plan.......
  15. Give Mots a try perhaps.... https://www.mots-services.com/
  16. What a lovely endearing action to help promote tourism......please hurry and start taking the 300 baht airport tourism arrival tax too!
  17. And yet they came........ So do Ford shut down the line Monday. or pay everyone a bonus to work,? Or move back to Oz.......?
