I took him to the school not because I felt they could train him but so he wouldn't have to Q up for 2-3 months then take 2 days at the DLT, written, video, driving in a circle. Agreement was he was to be train by me first pretty much the same skill training I got from the Calif HWY Patrol, I put together 45 questions from DMV California written test had them translated to Thai. I also gave him a road test passing grade was 75% , in which there were a number of major infraction that could fail him immediately. It took him two trays pointed out to him what Thais are doing wrong on the road to look out and navigate around. When he passed all my test only then would I send him to the school to expedite his obtaining the license he was there only three days as you noted they provide the bike. We took all the certify forms to DLT, got a Q number we were out in a hour. He has since learn to drive started him off in a sidecarts. Covid Delayed things now he is working trying to schedule time for the school one a week on his off days.

Dig a big hole at the bottom. Then fill it with sand that should make them feel at home. Bush should never interven to free them from Saddam.????

My experience here in Pattaya. Take him to a school it is a lot quicker 3000-4000 baht when finished all he had to do is turn paperwork and get photo. As far as licence and size it might be on paper but I never heard anyone being cited by police in my son case I purchase under my name a 125 wave HR has been stopped a number of times check and off he went. I myself have had a license for over 15 years been stopped numerous time in fact I welcome it originally I started with s 110, now regularly 150 PCX. Yes Click starts at 125 just get a residential certificate to buy.

Socialism, Nepotism is alive and well in Pattaya even for a Mayor who ran and promise change for Pattaya. Nothing has changed he has shown as I predicted to be the problem not the solution just like every Mayor before him. He hasn't done anything except join the swamp which was his intent from the beginning. Budget is 1.9 Billion, and the fix expense is 1.6 B. for salaries that explains why nothing improves, why the pothole gets filled, why roads like Beach road is constant constructions as with other popular roads. Keep repetitive projects going since price is well known thus can gauge easily what to skim off the top a no brainer. ????

LOL, even more reason to disregard. Jomtien, last year I went through the process long story short when I did they didnt seem to care guy took the paperwork and set it in a area I believe was for recycle. As noted by others I skipped it in April.

Most likely I believe your heard it wrong this is the case usually on Soi Buakhao after few beers LOL. Think about the amount you heard it is less than the fee 1900 baht for the application. The smount you think you heard most likely the amount they might have paid for agent someone to go down and do but it isn't going to be for the application of the extension itself.

This is policing Thai 101! No enforcement when it gets out of hand although good money is being paid to keep a force in place nothing is ever done until complaints come in and a light is shined on their incompetence when that happens their solutions is to gather personnel overtime and do a photo op = problem solved like WS there is no prostitution. Jomtien tonight it is all cleared they got the message.

It was only because he was Chinese they took a submissive approach. ????

Just stroking them so he get his final brown envelope.

The guy was speaking mandarin where from HK, China mainland, Taiwan. Nevertheless this was staged by the airport police chief so he can get approval of his request for stun guns????

Thanks, I like spending time at places you mentioned I constantly got projects home and my apartment fixing and improving things are instant as with any ownership. It gives also good idea with the cost of material. Thanks greatly appreciate it landmark Big Mac.

True, it is real stupid done by stupid people I can say much more Don't get me going! Their meaningless procedure is more about control than anything else but outside of Thailand you get the message. There are much more important things for me to worry about each year after I submit I get 90% ready for the following year the week before get what is needed 24 hours prior get my bank letter. Next morning I'm 1-5 person in line out the door no later than 9 walk over to cafe order coffee and breakfast. Back on bike back to Darkside thinking is today my lucky day I die? ????

Location would surely help! This brand you get less paying more for the max kilo which in your case is only 7k. If one was to get a local shop to fix they most like modify the part need as they have done to my old Whirlpool which I got at Nam Chai in Pattaya I believe they carry the brand but you won't get 7k at 10,000 there is a reason she offer up to 20,000. As noted a Samsung brand invertor is great top load computerized senses you load and prepare setting you can get larger Kilos with that brand less money. I would check with owner first what she prefers prior if you get something else problems it will point to you. If you ask the management of condo they mostly like have someone who will take it, there are lots of independent trucks driving around that will give them 700-1000 baht for it. Try Power Buy

If your bank is anything like mines (Bangkok Bank) I use the 800 also method untouchable. The statement doesn't show any activities just the total amount reason I make a small deposit thereafter ask for the statement Thereafter I go to a xerox shop have all the pages copied sign and place right along with the letter. I go as far as highlights it all for him or her.

Thanks that is exactly what I needed. Based on your instructions reason I couldn't find it yesterday I started from the bottom of Sukhumvit (3), headed up to 7 to Rayong, On the right I look no luck cut for time I make a u-turn at the International school and head back down. From instruction it is on the other side of Hwy7. The shop dropped off all my paint yesterday for the future I rather find a local shop brick and mortar thanks again.

These numbers are low since it only reports death on the road those who die later aren't then what isn't reported is the millions and billion to car for those who don't die. Yet inspite of the lack of improvement W. H. O. continues to hand millions to Thailand yearly to help with the problem without demanding results. Yearly at best after the handout you see signs about wearing helmets if that but I'm sure officials appreciate it. Cut the funding!

Is the timing just me?

It sure might seem but it doesn't! My wife owns a restaurant Majority I run around buying supplies for the place I've seen it first hand as you noted and dis as you noted Use to be 30 now 50, but here is s small break down a tank of gas for cooking use to be 320, today it is 420 plus, many of the supplies needed that go unnoticed are delivered by trucks although Diesel subsidies by government use to be 21 baht today it is over 30 baht. Palm oil use to be 24-26 baht today you be lucky to get a bottles of the cheap at 48. Plastic bags, boxes, spoons sugar, salt even soap has all got up. Yes you can cut back a bit on the rice go to a cheaper brand or type but Asians who love their rice can tell, I'm Asian not a rice eater I can tell. Then there are clueless like everywhere Thais even here with internet today just a few days ago a report that a customer gave a bad review the owner went as far to track the customer down confront the customer felt he/she didn't get the portion that was advertised. I've heard Thais complain about rice being charge a baht over the market so they boycott to a point their kids get no rich, they will drive around wasting gas to prove a point.

Thanks for the list now I know what to give my daughter in law in the future hopefully she gets the message!

She must have been offering herself cheap to set off the animals.

Many of us on this board we understand the problem because we have and seen the choices and solution. Today many of the problems in the West particularly in the U. S. is due to defunding of police and political philosophy. It applies here evident why so many simple problems can't be solved to solve a problem you must have an alternative that alternative doesn't exist never been taught can't teach or fix what one doesn't know. The system of corruption is embedded everywhere there are clear rules as to problems but you got 72 provinces hundred of district hundreds others out of greed applying their own standards so they can fund themselves not solve problems for the people. The system is to react to the problem not prevent rules are made bit no follow up. Enforcement is having follow ups something term Ghost customer to visit these businesses and pose as renters to confirm if rules being put forth are followed. First offense a warning a large enough fine to create enough doubt to make people have second thoughts this principal applies to everyone. Thereafter if it continues the business is closed if continue the penalty increases until the message sticks. Here what comes out of the authorities mouth is as hot as smelly as some of Soi drains enforcement here is nothing more standing around looking for a payout. The problem starts and ends on Soi 9, when I read the Chon Buri Head gets on his soapbox box " order to take care of problem " that is part of problem. Get you butt out and do it yourself!

Bob., the grass is never greener it takes a lot of work to keep it up. I'm hit up all the time by younger women of course they come from the P4P they say papa you the best you know how to take care of women. We know it starts and ends with the baht! I look in the mirror although fit at my age I'm surprise it hasn't cracked. They all try to get me to leave my wife I tell them I like being treated like a dog I know what to expect from her at my age why would I want to start over. Getting old is reality there is pain don't think for a minute she loves everything about you. Try being supportive instead of ragging on her and maybe just maybe her time has come in life menopause so try having a heart. My motto, like my dad says if a women can stay with me for 10 years deserves everything even my support.???? Personally a stupid f like yourself would post such a topic you should leave being doing her a favor.

Thanks to everyone for responding for their suggestion and help. With my sons help the original shop hasn't moved completely to Bangkok, this morning he conversed with owner and picture what I needed they still have the available cans I need when they return from BKK will gather and deliver to my wife shop which is walking distant from their shop. Funny years back I felt I was being charged farang prices I ordered 7 cans this time only 2100 baht, last time over 4000 baht. Lazada I noticed the 2K Clear around 700 Baht, I will continue to contact the other suggestions including making a visit to the hardware store on 36. Old school I'm still a brick and mortar guy. Photo attached is my PCX 10 years old 140,000 KM thatcI paint with paint I'm seeking now. KRUP to everyone for their help! As they say " Happy ending "????

These are what I been using. They work great for small project like motorbikes.

How did the buffalo kill the bike struck on opposite side. Was the impact to the buffalo that it flew across the road ????
