  1. I was there when they loaded Mr. Uma Dhar Kesarwani into the ambulance. I had a good vantage point to see through the side window. The condition of the injured man seemed he was just sleeping. No dirt, sand or water. No blood but just a peacful look on his face.

    I thought it could not have been a jet ski accident as no water on the man. HE MUST HAVE BROKE HIS NECK AND CONTINUED TO STAY ON THE JET SKI.

    RIP

  2. Also you need to make a copy of your bank book relevent pages including the first page with your name. Then sign each copy.

    You also may need the bank book.

    General rule is to take everything you can and when they ask for it you have it.

    Get that letter from the bank as close to application date as possible. The letter comes from the home branch of your account.

    Good Luck

  3. Manila you sound like you need a vacation. Just 3 weeks outta here & I am good for a year.It keeps your attitude on the upside & gets you away from the pitfalls of another country. When you get back you will see things in a new light.

    My cure is to take a trip...anywhere. Maybe someplace you might want to move to. After you scope out this new place...you realize...theres NO PLACE LIKE THAILAND !!!! :)

  4. The bus from North Bus station in Pattaya to Mukdahan is not a non stop service. They maybe stop 100 times. It is a very long ride through Aranapahet(sp). It is a very nice bus that leaves once a day. Do not know the schedule. Have only ridden the MK to PtY route. Do not remember the price but was reasonable.

    I would recommend as it is a very scenic ride.

    Happy Trails

  5. When you do die out in the villages the natives know they are to report to the police and they report to immigration and the embassy. The embassy notifies your relative back home. Yes the gov knows your relatives.

    The strugle over the body could happen here. If a legal marriage then the Thai wife have control. If not a will. If the Thai have no control then the US gov asks the relatives back in states what they want done with the body. It is expensive to ship etc. It is cheaper if body stays in Thailand. Either way the gov will act on whichever they want. They will give the bill to the relatives in the US.

    Best way to avoid any pitfalls is to stay alive. :)

  6. From my limited obervations here is what I think I know.

    Everything is tied to finace records. The more traffic on your cards and other finace records there is no need for social security to suspect you are dead. When that traffic falls off then they look to see if you are still alive.

    I have seen Social Security cut off and declare them dead. The guy has to show up at the embassy and prove he is alive. LOL

  7. What about silver? Investment grade silver 99,999% pure.

    I havnt been able to find anyone who sells that.

    Too bulky.

    SILVER

    from a members message back in September:

    Mr T

    "The best place to buy silver in ingot form is at Bangkok Assay on Charoen Krueng Rd."

    If you google the name Bkk Assay you will be able to get a more complete address from their website.

    Alternatively, if you go to the GPO on Charoen Krung. Stand with your back to the building and turn right and walk up the road, on the same side as the GPO. After about 200 yards you will come to an intersection where Suriwong intersects with Charoen Krung Rd. That is where you will find the Shop i.e. facing the intersection.

    Yes, pellets are also called balls.

    Actually, Bkk Assay have both a buy and sell window.

    Spot Silver prices are displayed on a TV Screen and are linked to the world spot price + their mark-up.

    Also remember that there is a 7% govt. tax that you will pay on purchasing the PM.

    You will also need to provide ID and address, etc.

    I do believe though that if you do take it out of Thailand you should be entitled to reimbursement of the Govt Tax. Although I would check with the HM Customs on their website first.

    Here is the address below They are located near the end of suriwong road on Charoenkrung(New road). Between Silom and suriwong. Perhaps call them first to check if they have silver in stock to avoid a wasted trip.

    Good luck!

  9. At first someone claiming to be Glitterman was just to suspect for me to believe. Now after doubting on this message board I have made the effort to confront the golden man on the bike. Yes he is Glitterman and descovering all that Pattaya has to offer.

    Some of you guys are comming down too hard on the Glitterman.

    I do agree that if you dont keep your wits about you then most women of Pattaya will take everything except that gold bike with all the golden atachments. :)

    Best of the Holidays to you Glitterman,

    LLL

  10. I do not believe anything I hear and only half of what I see. So could the real Glitterman please do us a service here on ThaiVisa. Please put something on your bike like a "TV" in GOLD , so we identify you as the real GLITTERMAN. Then when we do see you in person we know for sure.

    thx

    :)

  11. Try going on a JOY ride around Patters (See how long you can stay on the bus). When you got alot of time take a ride for 10B. About half the time they dont notice at all. Then other times they make a few turns, get out and ask where you are going. The correct answer is just to point the direction the bus is going.

    They ask you to get off at certain points so this is not a 100% method. It can be fun though.

    :)
