  1. The taps bar in Der La Jazz used to sell draught Guiness.
  2. I think that it is more likely that the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel BEFORE his minivan ploughed into a roadside guardrail.
  3. Now they can say - "Well we wanted to make it your electricity bills less expensive but the nasty EC vetoed it"!
  4. Never mind about hanging them in the window and obstructing the driver's vision! At least the car interior doesn't smell.
  5. Be careful calling out to your friend Robert. Robert sounds quite similar to the Thai word for bomb.
  6. I have aircon units but I don't use them. I find fans plenty good enough and I don't suffer from the heat shock when I go out. Mind you, I do suffer from the cold shock when I step into some air conditioned places!
  7. Cost for my electricity has nowhere near doubled per unit.
  8. His usage must have increased dramatically as such an increase cannot possibly be due to the unit price going up. Maybe the meter is/was faulty?
  9. Over the last year or so discounts and free months have offset most if not all of the increases for the poor.
  10. There may be many things that I complain about but the cost of electricity in Thailand is not one, The price increases have been minimal compared to other countries since energy prices increased,
  11. Am I the only person that believes such reporting to be inappropriate?
  12. It amazes me that this would appear to be her main concern so soon after her husband's death.
  13. Motorbike and car taxi drivers have to be registered. I wonder if they are also required to carry insurance that covers their passengers in cases such as this?
  14. I live in Khon Kaen and I enjoy living here and have good expat friends. If I was a tourist, coming to Thailand on holiday and had no connection to Khon Kaen, it is probably the last place that I would want to stay!
  15. 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.

  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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!
