  1. Been looking for something similar myself and many thanks for the link, but it appears after perusing their website the policy's not worth a w--k.Let me quote from their website.

    Benefits & Privileges for Regular Members:-

    Free unlimited towing services for a period of 1 year within 15 kms. An additional 20 baht/kms. will apply beyond 15 kms.

    Benefits & Privileges for VIP Members:-

    Free unlimited towing services for a period of 1 year within 30 kms. An additional 20 baht/kms. will apply beyond 30 kms.

    So if for example like myself you like to ride all over the country,if you were living in Chiang Mai and was to break down in say Surat Thani thats an approximate distance of 1335 Kilometers.The company if you're a regular member most generously allows you 15km's free towing and if you're a VIP member they allow you a whopping 30km's,then it's 20 baht each extra km.This calculates at best(VIP MEMBER) to 26,100 Baht and that's on top of your annual membership fee.

    At that rate you wouldn't want to breakdown far away from home too often.

    I know this is Thailand but it's hardly,Green flag, the AA or the RAC.

    Have a look here.... RAC covers 10 miles.....at a much much higher cost.

    maybe have to put the criticism on a UK forum?

    Recovery

    We'll take you, up to 7 passengers and your car to your chosen destination anywhere in mainland UK.

  2. There's good people and bad people everywhere.I remember once when the I.R.A performed one of their spectaculars in London. One of the victims was asked her feelings towards Irish people. She replied''it was an Irishman who tried to kill her(the bomber) and an Irishman who saved her life (the surgeon) and that she held no grudge against anyone.This in my opinion is an admirable but correct and open-minded view.

  3. I used to like Thai,but not anymore.Do they honestly take people to be stupid?Obviously they do.I think this will end up costing them a nice few Baht.

    I would personally recommend any of the 5 that come out of the U.A.E,never in all my years of flying have i had a problem with them,and there's hardly a whiskers difference between them.They are:-

    GULF AIR OUT OF BAHRAIN

    EMIRATES OUT OF DUBAI

    ETIHAD OUT OF ABU DHABI

    QATAR OUT OF DOHA

    OMAN OUT OF MUSCAT

    If i had to single one out as being marginally better it would be OMAN AIR.

  5. Ironic...this same forum advertises several online-dating services for Thai girls..the same ones that will rob you blind and/or cash you in for a green card back home. What a demented world, it has truly become.

    Do the same Thai girls hold a gun to your head and say ''I'm gonna rob you"or does the farang allow it to happen.Who's to blame? you decide.In case you hadn't noticed there's good and bad people of all colours,creed and religion in all walks of life.

  6. I wonder if he hadn't been caught would he have voluntarily gone to the police and said "I'm terribly sorry but i've just kamoyed an a/c unit coz i wanted to knock it out to pay for treatment for my sick son''.

    The crime wasn't in the thieving of the a/c unit,the crime was getting caught.It doesn't matter whether or not it's 3 in the morning,there's always a Thai see's or hears something,it's just their nosyness you see.They're the equivalent of the good old British curtain twitcher.

  7. Sickening.I'm sure i also read somewhere they've dropped the drink driving and the stuffing nose candy up his rich little bugle charge.

    One has to ask if he wasn't under the influence of both,would the accident ever have occured and perhaps the poor unfortunate copper God rest his soul,would still be alive.

    The higher they are the filthier it gets.Just like a bunch of Bananas not a straight one amongst them.

  8. It should be legalized. It is pretty stupid that is legal in most countries, including the ones with tough drug laws such as the US, but not in Thailand.

    Personally I would like to see all drugs legalized or at least their use normalized. I want to be able to smoke my ganja and occasional opium legally without worrying about repressive laws which punish the users so severely in a victimless 'crime'. People should have right to choose to use or to not, the ones punished should be the people who commit real crimes, whether they use drugs or not. And for the ones claiming there's a big cost in tax payers money in medical related problems from drug users, what about the current cost on the war on drugs? Anyway, if that the real problem, instead of people imposing their morality to others, I personally would be more than willing to sign a document renouncing to public medical services at tax payer expense on drug related health problems.
