    Not meaning to be flippant but they are often found in the long grass behind their mother's home.

    I see so many vehicles with illegible/faded plates I doubt that could be the technology they go with.

    They don't do anything about many many issues .

    It is more about a work permit I suspect. And behind it all, Thais don't want to give up their jobs to foreigners. They are protecting their people and helping them to have employment. (Rather cushy employment at that). Is that a failing for the government of the country? I guess they realize their own people are behind linguistically at least. I think it is commendable.

    Well, not far for the fire engines to go!

    My Mrs. gets on the phone to someone and they are round to pick it up. There is always the option to donate to Father Rays too.

    In tis case it is the Thais who are complaining about foreigners taking on their reserved occupations. The law is on their side, but you raise a point.

    Nonsense, the results of inaction and no thoughts of safety are evident all over the country, from motorcycles in holes, to riders strangled by low wires, tumbling cranes and being electrocuted in a puddle! Nation is always crying after the event.

    A quick calculation might suggest renting as a better option in later life. A 5 million condo might well be rented for 20 years or a little more.

    You don't catch STDs by simply going to Pattaya, more about coming in!

    Well yes, that was the concern when these policies were introduced. Indians are not slow at being industrious.

    Yes, apparently it was a small vehicle and had headlights! I could imagine a Ford Ranger missing something on the ground, and doing more damage.

    No...there's a place in Scotland!

    Surprising it had the power to get over a Swedes head then!

    What color is it supposed to be if not sea green?

    There is a huge number of Thai families bring their kids here at the weekends and holidays....and for the longer term stayers, well I just doubt they see a need to be on Soi 6, Buakhao or Walking St. It's like avoiding London because of Soho, or Amsterdam because of De Wallen

    There will be kids back there tomorrow!

    Haha, these two toll guys have a scam going on! Did the barriers rise and fall?

    Typically, the guy was left there until something critical happened, ie reactive rather than proactive. Moving a few of the witches hats around him might have been a solution!

    Toilet seat to blame, for sure! I hope your pal has changed his mind now!
  21. jacko45k
    Yes, and then perhaps we can reintroduce buffet meals!
  22. jacko45k
    Very tragic.....

    Let us be more objective and lay the situation at the feet of Visa Exempt permissions.
  24. jacko45k
    Don't the two often go together?

    Oh the joy of riding fast on a motorcycle at 21 full of testosterone......poor kid had picked bad roads for his release.
