    Same guy who bounced off the tunnel wall a few days ago?

    Dump a few letters and manufacture another 'T' , then a sign saying 'Tatty' might be more apt!

    Bars etc are open until 4am, some nightclubs later.... going for some food after a night out is not unusual.

    'Called him in' seems very casual, dragged him in by the ears more appropriate!

    I would not refer to this guy as scum as there are far more deserving cases. Young people are far more likely to experiment and I see a victim of that, he needs help.

    Sadly that mean that he/she/it can simply move on easily to another victim. ....I recall a place in Mexico had a habit of transporting them well out of town and dumping them in the desert.....

    Benefits, drugs, immigration..... all contribute to the downfall. What you going to do, the chimps are running the tea party! You might find some remaining pride among the older ones!

    The insurance is with the vehicle... I am pretty sure my driving licence has never been required to obtain insurance and tax on my motorcycle or my truck. More likely insurance would not be valid for the underaged driver. Reminds me when my neighbour hit a kid riding the wrong way on a dual carriageway. Police insisted she paid for his hospital visit, as he had no insurance, nor could she get a police letter to claim on hers without complying!

    Well the UK is not in the EU any more... but there is a medical card (GHIC) UK citizens can get to allow treatment while holidaying in EU countries, but I believe it is emergency care and for pre-existing conditions only. Source.

    Not always, sometimes symptoms should most certainly not be ignored.

    Who checks photos these days? Facial scanning was mentioned and is a modern approach....(although what do some of us look like returning home at 5am after a night out!). Another complaint was higher condo fees due to increased security, staff and the extra wear and tear the 2 week millionaires impact on facilities.

    Might stake my left nut on him not having any!

    I am sure the regular commuter etc are thrilled the inconvenience will be every day from now on!

    Haven't seen much of that even for a while.... did see a couple of cops waving over tourists on motorcycles without helmets near Pattaya police station, but I presumed it was fund collection for the Friday night, after work booze up.

    Wow, sounds like a mafia hit worthy of a Scorsese movie!

    Thai Tax

    jacko45k replied to lelapin's topic in Pattaya

    Oh they will be springing up in a multitude soon..... there will be quite a rush on for TINs too, one a I doubt the revenue dept could handle.

    I was not there but 'laws' are only effective if enforced... and here such moves were outvoted, and police were not involved. The person I got the info from gave up on meetings as the block votes made it a waste of time, I suspect there are many many condos in town being let/sub let for less than 30 day durations.

    Also enough for a 5 year ban.....
  19. jacko45k
    I wish!

    Well, I only got the details from a NDTV clip, but a major part of the problem was caused by something similar to the Union block voting idea at the juristic meetings. One person had control of, and hence the votes of , a large number of condos and could outvote moves of the AirBnB opposition. I am not optimistic this can work out.

    That said, (and apologies for off topic deflection), some of the tales out of other countries, supposedly first world and civilized, of treatment of the very young, can put a tear in one's eye too.
  22. jacko45k
    Well to be fair, if one smoked pot and gambled openly on the beach here, I expect police would be along to hassle you.
  23. jacko45k
    Apparently (according to NDTV), The Base is to be fitted with facial recognition and finger-print scanners soon on entrance doors and elevators, in an effort to deter short term rentals.

    So he got lynched?

    One can lose faith in human nature reading the stories around here.
