I also think that this story does not add up. Why was he carrying around that amount of cash? If it was to pay the hospital, well he had already been there so why didn't he? Nobody with a brain cell would have that money in a bag and lay it beside them and have a sleep. He could have shoved it down his trousers.

What an incredibly bad idea! What is the point of a forum where replies are auto-generated? Does this mean that we can expect even more repetitive replies such as "500 Baht fine and a wai will fix it" "Stupid is as stupid does" etc. Is this a Chatgpt generated joke?

The first time I used it in December 2021 there were problems with the website and I could not submit it until the 2nd day after it was due. I got the confirmation 2 days after that, so being late was not a problem then. The last time I did it, I had trouble login in because the letters were impossible to read and I ended up submitting it on the due date. No problem.

Oh, how original! Why do we see so many stupid pathetic posts like this? Does anyone find them even slightly amusing? Same poster in another topic Nothing serious...a few wais should be ok.

In reply to the original question, I can only state my own experience. My motorbike was padlocked after parking in a no parking zone in Khon Kaen. I had to go to the police station to pay the fine. I was not asked to show my licence. Nor was I asked to show passport or anything. In response to all the other holier- than-thou replies. When renewing my insurance on a pick-up some years ago, I asked if the insurance covered any driver and would it still be valid if the driver did not have a license. I was told that the insurance would still be valid even if the driver was unlicensed. They did tell me that they could not comment on whether it is the same with all insurance companies though. Also, about 8 years ago, my girlfriend's son had an accident on his motorbike. He did not have a license. The insurance paid out.

I haven't been to Pattaya for more than 10 years and I didn't notice any airhorns in the bars back then. Funnily enough it never entered my mind that Pattaya could really do with interjections of the horrible ear splitting noise that these things produce. I have to wonder Why anyone would need or want them!

Anybody have any idea of the reasoning behind not allowing motorbikes in underpasses, on expressway/motorways? Makes no sense to me.

So average of roughly 4 to 6 Baht per tourist per year!

I hope so too. It would make a refreshing change for the BBC to make a comedy that is actually funny. Seems that the writers nowadays think that inserting F*** or C*** every 5 minutes makes a show funny. It doesn't! It just makes me cringe.

I don't stay in hotels as much as I used to but I will always tip the cleaners 20 Baht a day unless they give me a reason not to want to tip them. If they give me a reason to tip more then I will. 20 Baht is nothing to me, but if the cleaners got 20 Baht from every room that they clean, it can make a big difference to them. They deserve respect for doing an unpleasant job for minimum wage to take care of their families.

I find it somewhat interesting that they decide to perform an autopsy in this case. Yet following the unexplained death of the diver (in KhoTao?) last week didn't warrant an autopsy!

How is that cheap? That's nearly 10 times what I paid for my legitimate 2 year licences!

I can only think that they have based this on "think of a number and double it"! They have also not considered the laws of supply and demand. That is (in Thailand) If demand is higher than supply, increase prices. If supply is higher than demand , increase prices. If there were such an increase in tourist numbers, prices would go through the roof and Thailand will no longer be attractive to tourists.

I don't know what sort of nightlife you are looking for. As you have already been to Udon, you will have been to Day & Night (or is it Night & Day?). Be warned, there is nothing like that in Khon Kaen. Most of the nightlife in KK is set up for the Thai youth. The Farang bar scene is quite subdued and as already stated centered near the Pullman hotel. If you like extremely noisy Thai bars, walk out of the Pullman, turn left and left again and that road is full of them. I think that the Thai bars close at different times depending on how many customers they have. Certainly some are open until 3AM. Farang bars also seem to close when the customers leave but I am usually done by 1AM, so not sure. In the post above mine, MrJ2U says "Bus station and train station all within walking distance. ", he is obviously not talking about KK as the bus station is way out of town. Railway station is close though. If there are any Tuk Tuks around at night in KK, they are few and far between. Most bars/restaurants will call you a taxi. Taxi's are very reasonable and most trips around KK will be 100 Baht maximum. There may be a small late night surcharge.

Is gambling on the World Cup so dangerous that they should wear helmets??

There are plenty of people that do not have this amount of cash that they can transfer to an Indonesian bank but have a sizeable pension or other income. Why exclude those people? Also people who can deposit $128,000 are not necessarily going to spend any more than those who can only afford $50,000.

I did my first online report just over a year ago and it was my first 90 day report after getting the extension in September 2021. I have done every report since online including my last report which was also the first report after getting an extension. So there is no such rule. I think that there may be some rule about the first 90 day report after entering Thailand, but I am not sure about that.

Have you any idea how ridiculous you sound. As I stated, the guy was convicted of waging war against God. Waging war against God can be anything that these religious nutters want it to be. So they can convict anyone they like and sentence them to death.

It depends on how ridiculous the law is! He was convicted of "waging war against God." which carries the death sentence. Did they call God as a witness? Well, of course not. Do you honestly think that he got a fair trial?

Many years ago there was a mange ridden dog in our area. Hardly any hair left. I saw that it started sleeping on a pile of discarded cement bags. Incredibly, its hair grew back and it looked quite healthy. So maybe cement dust is a good cure.

You know, I have had numerous conversations with fellow Englishmen over the last couple of weeks. I am quite sure that the 1966 World Cup has not been mentioned even once. It is only the Television presenters that ever mention it. Englishmen do not go on about it.

Here's the quote

I had already answered that question. Quote is in the next post.

They did not go home with their tails between their legs after the 2018 semi-final. Only 4 teams can achieve that and it is something to be proud of. Funny, I must have missed all the interviews where England players and manager have spouted about how great they are. They may have confidence, but they know when they have a tough game coming up and have often said as much. If they do go out in the game against France, they can return to England with heads held high. There is certainly no shame in losing to France, so the England team will not be returning with their tails between their legs. Concerning the Euros final, England don't have a great record with penalty shoot-outs and again, there is no shame in losing to Italy. They got to the final after all and only lost on penalties! England can be proud of their performance so far in this World Cup as can other teams. USA and Japan should be proud of themselves as well.
