  1. It is lots of money for a Thai but I see no reason she making it up by reporting it if it was a hotel yes? I know a few Thais that don't really trust banks I wouldn't be surprise? I look at the photo been around these type of gates where she points is the weak spot nice big square opening as noted even here if they want to they going to get in. I take a good guess whoever broke had connection to someone she knows you don't just break in unless you know even here.
  2. Correct as noted when my house was build same but today many of the houses I see build particularly lower income homes even some projects selling for 3 plus million they use what looks like cement cedar blocks no rebars. From the looks window area wall might have been a leak someone cut a corner?
  3. I love Tacos hard shell in particular but why do they cost so much even in Thailand, I can easily eat 6 in one sitting. The cost here is about the same back home.
  4. Then you should have just said that the first time. Let me clarify something in regards to the use of the word International and to be clear a generalization from my own experience being here close to twenty years. When it comes to lawyers in Thailand I been around lots of them and I wish there wasn't ever a need. In the beginning my luck maybe curse I had a bunch of problems Thailand not being my country like everyone I didn't come looking for trouble but never the less I ran into it. I try my best to go with the system got recommended a pretty big Thai law firm no problem communicating but the case took a bit too long for my taste in the end through my own contact found out the lawyer had play both side although in the end the case was taken over with a new International firm with some top Thai Lawyers the case was won. As for the old lawyer it didn't go well for him. I once even got a list of Lawyers from my Embassy I went down the list and interview each one in the end next time I went back to the Embassy for business I let one of the top representative I spoke to better burn that damn list there wasn't one Thai lawyer on the list worth talking too. Years now through family in HK, connections in Thailand I use a particular firm it is International with plenty of Thai lawyers who I can communicate and very satisfied so not all related International is bad. Although I haven't met a Thai Lawyer worth the time of day not working for a International firm I'm still open to always listening and giving them a chance as you noted results is what matter whether they hang a International label on their door I agree track record and results is what matters especially in this case.
  5. Of course that is a generalization from your own experience. Most lawyers are as you say especially big egos readon we joke the only good lawyer is a dead one. But in the end you pay their bill you make the decision obviously when it came to investment you made the wrong choice so blame yourself and not all. On this guy topic he isn't investing I say international first and foremost to the English is good enough so it can be explain to him what he should do and expect. If money is the object only and he wants to go cheap get a Thai lawyer who can't communicate what is happening just want the money where does that leave him yes in the dark wondering! This isn't investing or big ego it is dealing with a child life that itself you should remove yourself from the topic since you more concern about your own bad experience.
  6. It happens we get into a situation without knowing the person first especially here. Because of the kid I would do everything in my power to be polite meantime go see a lawyer don't get cheap being in BKK get yourself a International lawyer, you need recommendation give me a PM, meantime while she working if not already get all his documents birth, passport, etc. Get ready to leave when the time comes.
  7. Why even give them the time of the day with a response! Not diplomatic but proper response just flip them the bird.
  8. Stop it no is going to get mowed down, the police will be on it they have experience beyond experience which is escorting protecting Chinese tour buses. Let have some faith the only missing piece in the price is no happy ending?
  9. SMF, is late again ???? what is it this time. Oh something smells check yourself.
  10. You try to come across as a smart guy but I can see the light I'd on but no one is home! First when I generalize mean I come to an opinion based on the past. I've made no mentioned to any of it being fact. The few incidents I've cited are fact since you like to look things up you should know how. You ask for facts, yet hypocritically you haven't provided any yourself as to a statement made from something you might have read. Please show me other than a so call promise more medical information as to the cost they are paying to the hospital. In her rehabilitation do they plan to fit her with a wooden leg, does it include life time medical assistance including Physiological therapies and as for compensation do you have a amount for pain and suffering. Aside from a promise you already seem to believe or know for a fact what you rant about is a fact she will be taken care. That leads back to my question and generalization here in Thailand what and how not satisfied a unknown promise. Unless you have the compensation package offered as fact and evidence I don't need to tell you where to go from here. SMF.
  11. Come on Barry is this response for today or something from the past I said to you! Bit surprise to even hear from you thought you were the hide and seek type and this is me being very kind! My response of course was a generalization which is exactly your response to me.! You ask me to read what before I response. If I got a baht each time hearing take care of her medical bills and compensation I would be rich. I Suggest you instead of reading something assuming it is going to be generous in nature is a man still asleep having a wet dream calling other opinion as a rant. Because this hit the front page suckers like you dreamers actually think this is going to be sufficient for the lost of her limb and the drama it had caused her. There are hundreds of events like this that don't see the light of day. Citizen falling into manholes, Doctor getting run down by speeders, there isn't enough text to list them all but we got a true believer in you. The saying they also selling a bridge cheap! All the victims family are still waiting compensation for their lost in Sattahip night club fire all they were offered was 50,000 baht what is a limb worth. How is that rant! Bangkok true believer.
  12. The question is what are the authorities going to do? Turn a blind eye and act as its not their responsibility, make a half ass attempt offer a few hundred baht and call it a day still promote Thailand as top destination, land of smiles or is it continues come at your whole risk.
  13. Look Mr. Late? I clearly responded without looking at the chart which by the way was not presented when I did. When it was pointed out I went back to my records of transfers then responded back to poster Thanks and listed some dates which is clearly something you don't know how to do instead of making excuse about your phone. Guess having a smart phone still doesn't help much for some people. Factual is when someone presents those facts it was pointed out not as fact but an opinion which being second guessed I look up and confirmed his opinion as being correct and factual. Your dribble coming in at the end not once but twice confirms what people around you already know.
  14. What ever reason hope I never find out! Not surprising this airport shouldn't even be opened. It was close cause leaders here are such screw-up can't plan for anything including building proper size toilets at the newer one. There is so much land at the newer one yet there was no real plan.
  15. Thanks but you late I've already corrected myself try reading everything OK ????
  16. Curious what private hospital was this in Chon Buri?
  17. ever Curious I ran through my Wise account for the year 2022, I would take your word for it my records shows as you noted in between it might have hit 38 but I wasn't lucky enough to make transfers when it happened. June 29 it was 36, In August of last year 17-31 it sat in the 36-1 range, Sept 11, it went to 37, on Oct 19, my record show it was pretty close to 38, so thanks, will we get that lucky before someone with the power to make it come down again. I like it to hit 40 just for old time sake!
  18. When it comes to Dollars don't think it ever got that high last year 38, highest I remember was 36+
  19. Everytime a report that baht too weak like the sun rise and set it starts to go down. Last time it hit 36 same report slowly but surely it goes south.????
  20. That what I thought, I filled out information request on Saturday 24th online 12 day us ahead think will gets real SD ponce Monday or Tuesday to my surprise allroved on Sunday. Print out the attached with new date.
  21. Nothing I say or do will change what people do but let me add my 2 baht anyway. I grew up involved around me with drug, gun, violence. I've had a couple of close friend die from overdose one died when his group went running guns camping out enjoyed their drugs while sleeping one got berserk picked up an automatic and started firing. I can safely say I was one who got save from sports. In spite of having access I never found the reason or need to use drugs I can proudly state I've never even picked up a cigarette. When it comes to pot whatever reason people wants to???? use so it is accessible or legal they are going to use it. It started as mediscile I'm sure there is evidence I know my cousin who had breast cancer helped her with eating and the pain before she passed. But as it gain popular made legal in some City and States in U. S. More and more places opened you had to have a medical card all of a sudden like Baskin/ Robbing ice cream there were 31 favors to pick.. It isn't rocket science to figure it out how in the world can there be this many sick people. Like Handicap parking permit everyone over 55 had one then when it became evident by politician they can get a hold of more money sell it more revenue can help fix all these social needs just like gambling which is soon coming too. When it comes to Thailand it becomes worse leadership from jtop to bottom can't seem to educate people in killing themselves on the road, can't fix a simple pothole on the road, can't seem to stop hanging wires everywhere, can't figure out when they could sell liquor simple childish fixes and they screw that up if there is a thing they could screw it up they will so when it comes to pot in less than a year places opening the fix is worry about it went the problems arises. Should it surprise anyone the problems now. People are selling everywhere sidecarts people don't have a clue what or how it is made so why should anyone care it is all about money medicine clothing got nothing to do with its legalization.????
  22. About goddamned time! This country is 60years behind time allowing police to control traffic taught to them by dead old men passed on by other old men. The traffic problem issue to the police themselves let the computer for the word now the only thing don't set the traffic light for five minutes then objective is to keep things moving so drivers are making progress not sitting at lights when no card are coming or police giving preference to bigger roads so cars can speed down them knowing they got the green.
  23. Do to the rough and course nature of your walls like outside a Wasp nest or home has been built on you walls to hatch the baby. Usually they build under or behind furniture. just make sure mother isn't around knock off wall and sweep quickly.
  24. I say don't over think it your retired remember. Do what comes natural she at front desk calls out " honey I need some coping paper for the xerox machine " " honey we are out of toilet paper " Just remember here in Thailand if you white it isn't right! If they don't like Cambodian, Loation, Myramar making Somtam, using sidecarts to sell what Thai sell you going to get a visit. Just be yourself while she busy you have more free time to yourself you need to findd your own happy ending she can manage Thai women don't like their man looking over their shoulders. You need to learn to be more Thai get the hint? ???? Lay low ????
  25. Confused. if you are looking for a longer bed then you aren't going to get it in any model that is a 4 doors, you will need minimum a Extra cab. I don't buy American no matter what learn my lesson although attracted to the Ford. This is pretty much the same with Chinese, have a neighbor with one rides as if you were in a tin can. MG. My brother has a MIT, it doesn't have a solid feel seats sit low as if it was a sport car he paid around 860,000 but after riding in my Hilux he regrets it. I got a 2018, after much research and going to Bangkok auto show. Although my first choice was Toyota since I had a Yaris already with a budget in mind prices are basically the same now I got a Hilux model E, 4 Door Auto, 2.4 Diesel list price was 890,000, this would basically include tinted windows, door and window guards, floor entry boards, rear bed liners, floor mats. leather like seats and interior with 1 year insurance.. One of reason I choose this model old school basic dash instrument are dial next model up all digital which I don't like. This model also has front vents A/C only the next model G, price 969,000 has a second A/C vent system rear center console. So if you plan to carry people regularly long distant something to consider. In the end, I walked in to my dealer offer 860,000 for the E Model cash deal done. The model also sits the same height as the 4 wheel model trucks are trucks in regards to rides but I and my brother noticed built much more solid, ride and suspension Much smoother and seats much higher than his MIT. The 7 speed auto is a big plus. 5 year Warranty Chon Buri service oil change around 3000 baht. Good luck.
