She is probably set for life now having  3 properties and THE RED PORSCHE  LOL

 

Its clear she has little class Not even dressed in black flashing a Louis Vuitton Bag  and showing off her bling

 

This girl shows little class  or mourning 

The Porsche could have been leased through his company. This would keep his profile down and reduces requirement to launder money to pay for purchase. This (allegedly) is not an uncommon practice in Pattaya.

Maybe they are needed to keep this big boy company.

The Royal Thai Air Force has acquired an A340-500 from Thai Airways International  as part of a THB1.745 billion (USD49.18 million) package.

The deal included an extra Trent 553-61 motor, aircraft spares and paint. In addition, Thai will provide the Air Force with the necessary mechanic, pilot and cabin crew training needed to operate the aircraft.

Nearly bust Elgardo38 budget before they start.
 

Left the little bike at home this morning and went in the Fortuner two ton 3.0L Turbo Diesel.

No problem. Drive straight in.

Tried to go to Sai Kaew Beach in the Navy Base today. They would not let me in on my motorbike. Told me I had to park my bike at the entrance and get a motorbike taxi down to the beach.

Asked how much the taxi would cost, did not get an answer, just repeated, no motorbikes get taxi.  The taxis drivers were sitting on the other side of the track from where you sign in waving and trying to get me to come over.

There are no signs stating if you have to pay for taxis in addition to the entrance fee. Could it be a scam between the guys on the gate and the motorbike taxis?

I thought, OK I may be able to get to the beach, but good luck in trying to get a taxi out again. Not going to risk it.

The crazy thing was that they were allowing in people with cars and pickups! 

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there now a Navy Recruit Mafia?

Ahh now I get it! It is the name of a road. I thought it was a hardware store or something

Great! where is that?

Still don't know where it is!

Could you explain in another way which traffic lights on Sukhumvit you are referring to as I have no idea what Boonkanchana is.

Thanks

Thanks for that, I will have a look.

It turns out that the leather car seats in my Toyota Fortuner are not leather at all but some sort of reconstituted leather on a fabric backing.

After only 80,000 km a seat panel on the drivers seat is worn out exposing holes and the fabric underneath.

Apart from this the SUV is in good condition. Tried asking Toyota if it can be repaired. No chance, did not want to know!

Does anyone know of a car seat repair shop in Pattaya?

Thanks

If you use True Internet, maybe they are trying to stop you downloading HBO

Why don't you make your own. Easy! Ham Joint only cost Baht 165/kg in Friendship, and cure it yourself.

I usually make a 2kg ham every few weeks. We cannot eat more than that.

Why should you pay service charge on a Buffet?

Is it that you have to pay extra if you want your food cooked?

I got a new battery for my Yamaha 135 from the little bike repair place opposite Booze Lounge in Khao Talo. I only use my bike for short runs to 7/11 etc. so battery life short as never has a good run to fully recharge.

Was about 500 Baht

What the heck is a sponsored Turkey day?

I think about 4-500 baht per tire for this kind of scooter and the tires they use here, but a Dunlop (or other renowned brand) may cost the double.

Add 60 for the tube and 100 for work.

 

Price may differ front and back

New Click have tubeless tires. No idea of price??

 

 

Anyone know where I can get an original spec. Dunlop rear tire for my Yamaha Nuevo?

Had to replace original 3000km ago (had a screw through it). Shop said they only have Thai Tires, bought one, It is worn out already.

What about the garbage dump just south of that pot hole?

 

The plastic bottle recycling  area is still in use but the big pit to the south has been filled in.

There is rather a large pothole at the northern end of the extension. About 20M deep and 200M long & 60M wide. The groundworks are ongoing either side of it. Then they just stop just short.

a quote ? They should PUBLISH the rates on a board VISIBLE to everyone - THAT would be signs of a trusted and honest company. Like Superrich in BKK does.

"giving a quote" is 100% NOT

Whatever! He wants to pay for a taxi, not buy a house! THB/SG$ rate is visible on a rolling LED display.

There are around 180 circulating currencies in the world. It would not be practical to publish the Offer/Bid rates for all of them!

Only the major currencies in the immediate region suffice for most people.

All of the posts regarding renewal of driving license report that you don't actually require a medical cert for a renewal.

Good to know my wife and girlfriend are clean

Just joking!

My 58 year old British wife needs to renew her 5 year driving license. Anyway, wife being the wife insisted upon getting a medical certificate "just incase" she needs it. So she went to see a Swiss Dr. in Jontiem.

She was not a happy bunny when she came home. They insisted she had a blood test for Syphilis before they would issue the Certificate.

My wife is retired and a decent sort really. Does not get up to much more than going to ladies coffee mornings.

Is this STD test for female pensioners really a requirement of the Land Transport Office or just a money spinner for the Dr.?

interesting, OINKOINK, what is the spread there between buying and selling? Do they visibly publish the rates they offer? Because if not, such enterprise should not be trusted

I was going on holiday to Vietnam and wanted some cash on arrival for taxis Etc.

The "enterprise" did publish their rates and was competitive. They will give you a quote on just about any currency. That is why I mention them!

There was a perfectly good beach there at one time.

Then the clever people built a road up to it.

Then they built a path between the road and the beach.

Then they decided to widen the road, taking up more beach.

Then they widened the path into a boardwalk over what was left of the beach.

Now they are trying to replace the beach they have built over.

All makes perfect sense to me

The exchange booth outside friendship provide most currencies. If they have not got it, they will get it.

I got Vietnamese Dong from there a few weeks back.

I thought it was rather funny.

Jomtien is famous for people jumping up and down in the water.

Could be the jellyfish hazard!
