Either falling asleep or using a phone!

I simply got new ones, they were looking a bit dodgy anyhow. They said they weren't allowed to refill them.

Yes, one of the 3 Big-Cs in town, and as you say now called Marina, at the bend on 2nd Rd, well before you get to the roundabout.....somewhat overshadowed by T21 these days.

I had a Christmas card posted in Oz arrive in July, and yet my UK Pension PoL certification made it in January. What you going to do? I got my Thai Mrs to go to complain or collect mail politely, something I am probably not too good at! I likely would make them decide to really mess with me! Haven't seen the kid delivering mail whiz up the road for a long time.... used to be a regular feature.

Not sure about that, a friend was asked to open a new account with a different bank. Situation has yet to settle!

No, a disturbing thing to see hanging over the open buffet tureens!

This happens, not only in Huay Yai. Which sorting office does your mail go through? I sent the Mrs to go complain, in my case to the place on Sawang Fah in Banglamung. Got mail regular for a while after that. They seem to have a lackadaisical attitude to it,

I have also always had a preference for dealing with Grab, then Bolt on their apps, rather than the taxi mafia that was an alternative. Can't get the latter to even consider putting their meter on, whereas the apps present a low price even before booking.

It says his 'partner', who worked for a real estate firm, arranged things, I suspect no third party legal representation was involved. It's a minefield out there!

He might.... but it could well be purely for 'show'. Many serve only a fraction of their sentence... I believe wearing a neck brace, arm sling and cheesy grin can get more comfortable terms in prison!

Yes, and they are far more sinister than the Brits who are frequently complained of. I believe Malaysia is having similar issues with their newly visa exempt tourists.

Well it does say in the thread he faces UP TO ten years and ten years is the maximum for the upgraded charge of 'reckless driving causing death'. Not sure what would be customary.... Getting released after 1 or 2 years for causing death of an innocent person due to reckless behaviour would seem extremely light and an insult to the victim and her family.

They are going to drive them onto the battleships and strap them down!

He was seen eating Laab Moo on the corner of Kophai and South Pattaya Rd, using one of those odd shaped local spoons.

Don't be holding your breath.

Yeah, they can put him on the list and he will be extradited just after 'Boss'.

Well so far he is without a passport....

I thought hard to find extra tracker was standard in rental vehicles?

These people are dim.... when I moved in to my house here I found the builder had poured cement waste into my gray water drainage. Had to replace it!

Him in a cell, car in a crusher!

Presuming that embassy has the wherewithal to ensure the message gets out to other countries. Let us hope so. I am not sure where the consulate's responsibilities lie, to their citizen, or some neighbouring country's legal system. It appears the guy has a UK criminal conviction.... a pity that doesn't block him from leaving the UK or entering Thailand.

There is a message on my app saying my limit was set to the banks 'total daily limits' I took that to mean I could not set a lower one, nor effect a higher transfer/payment. I really do not know what is going on, can I no longer purchase a 3 piece suite or other big ticket items, despite having the money? Is my 800k really locked in now? I see a bit of raving from Integrity Legal about this, and can see why, is my bank now an arm of the immigration police!

Mad as a hatter!

I suspect farangs aren't their favourite customers. They question them more than the locals. The locals are obedient and don't query anything, which they much prefer.

As I discussed with someone else, their cunning plan worked, I had a couple of items in my basket that I would normally not buy and were not on THE list, they had me browsing, looking for things.
