  1. Is this the same Iranian restaurant where there was an issue with Burmese staff several months ago?
  2. I was kinda thinking it should be easy enough to determine who was driving and fire his ass.
  3. Yes, if one keeps the view away from the ugly derelict Waterfront building.
  4. Got enough junk around the place... thankfully I have a capable brother in law that takes things off my hands and makes use of them. For all else, the scavenger who calls round may offer the wife some baht to remove things.
  5. Again more fodder for the rethink of 60 day Visa Exempt entry for nearly all!
  6. The joys of late night encounters...... Must have been a knuckleduster in that handbag!
  7. There used to be a no motorcycles sign near the flyover entrance I recall from many years ago. Since the underpass finished not sure we still have it. Used to ride the bike up, to then come off the slip road to the Railway Line bypass Rd.
  8. Yes, please go elsewhere, shorter lines for me!
  9. Seems a lot but guess it depends on how comprehensive it is. They used to have a special on each year at about the time of Rama 9's birthday.
  10. Yes, setting it up is too much messing about. I usually turn on the analog radio in my near 20 year old truck only on Sundays as I drive into town for a weekly shop. Couldn't get either of the English channels last Sunday...103 had a very weak signal, 96FM was being stamped on.
  11. Certainly when I have accompanied one to immigration, it seems the agent goes directly to a specific one and is received without waiting.
  12. Yes, very likely. And the ex getting rid of her a wise move!
  13. Plenty of second hand market in Thailand, just usually not where farangs are involved.
  14. The Chinese tourists are changing..... no longer the docile groups following a cuddly toy on a stick!
  15. Let me explain.... Tai is a PIA to drive on...... and for me out of the way. So many larger supermarkets are easier to drive to and park at.
  16. They will make money on what they charge you for a new unit and likely get something for the old one they kindly take away.....
  17. Well yes, I also recall someone who worked at a large condo complex who took deposits, and was offering special discounts if people paid up front. No condo and no agent when many arrived....I believe the building management tried to help folks out though as this was a legitimate employee, who did a runner. 'No Refunds' is a common sign in Thailand, but I too have managed to get a few, usually from Westerners though.
  18. Jeez.... a rogue party at some little house, when foolish parents had left a child in control of the family home was as good as I got... and those you had to bring your own booze. Not many birthday parties at a pool villa going!
  19. There was a post that some Uzbeks and Ugandans were taken in just before this incident.
  20. Perhaps that was the idea... they probably found no infractions, but did help out the competition! Been in the middle of a few of those.
