  1. Important fact!!

    9 out of 10 insurance companies, will not cover you if your driving a scooter/motorbike.

    Why would anybody ride a moped on a street with large vehicles like trucks??? Motorcycles are dangerous, but their mobitity and speed can get you out of the way of an accident.

    A Moped is something you ride in your housing area or a small lightly traveled road???? You better keep your insurance up even if you do not drive. They have enough idiots

    driving over here that can hit you even if your walking!!!! facepalm.gif

  2. ...even better, punk taggers (graffiti artists) were spray painting their "art"

    on an electrical substation in USA---spray paint is an excellent conductor, the taggers were

    reduced to burned out crisps.

    Same principle.

    Am all for it. It takes me 1-2 hours to even PURCHASE spray paint in USA with their

    cumbersome and ridiculous laws.

    No problem buying spray paint in Florida. You on drugs?????blink.png

  3. All said they had been promised a sexual encounter by the suspect, who then stole their money and other items and fled without consummating the original offer.

    Of all the dirty tricks, the least she could have done is give them a happy ending.

    DON'T WORRY SHE SCREWED THEM IN MOREE THAN ONE WAY. THE BIB WILL NOT POST THAT INFO CAUSE THEN THAIS WOULD LOSE

    FACE OR GET A PEARL NECKLACE. thumbsup.gif

  4. This is not about tourists, but about Iong stayers that do not have the proper visas. Regardless of the incident it is something thT would come sooner or later

    Nonsense. Yes, long stayers are affected and they are best advised to return to Thailand by air, rather than a land border crossing. Think about the people who want to travel through Southeast Asia, maybe making several land border crossings. Also, the people who work in Cambodia, Vietnam or Myanmar, but want to take short weekend trips to Thailand. It's an expensive proposition by air, and using bus or van transport is cheaper. These are genuine tourists, albeit, not the hi-so ones that TAT is courting. Many of them will be turned away at the border and told to go to the embassy and get a tourist visa.

    It's unfortunate that immigration can't just issue simple instructions, rather than rely on rumor and innuendo spread aimlessly about by its border agents, to make a clear policy about using land border crossings. At some point, they probably will restrict foreigners to 90 days of visa exempt entry per year. They are probably waiting to get approval to issue this new instruction. However, the rumor mill has started and "scared" border officers are creating their own prohibitions. After all, some of their brethren were caught, and transferred away from the Sa Kaeo border, where they no longer can gorge at the trough.

    The mixed signals and lack of firm policy isn't good for Thailand's tourism industry, because it will result in lower tourist arrivals and general uncertainty which will persist for some time even after they issue the new border entry instructions. The border officers shouldn't be allowed to change rules without a clear policy directive from the head of the immigration police.

    Keep the rift raft away!!!!

  5. I'm not biased red nor yellow, but it looks like Papa Prayut might be right on this one.

    Yes, but giving an order, and actually doing something are two very different things.

    They''ll prostrate themselves and beg for an extension. Again. Then if they get it, they'll go home and brag they're smarter than the stoopid falangs. Again.

    Sorry, but the U.S FAA will not extend them like some wimpy European countries!!!! October 25th last day for Thai to fly to America!! whistling.gif

  6. Agent Orange contained the synthetic chemical Dioxin which was at the time one of the most lethal agents if not the most lethal. AO was but one of several chemicals used to "defoliate" the jungles in and adjacent to Vietnam.

    From the standpoint of US veterans, the government beginning with the Carter Administration denied veterans their deserved medical care based on Agent Orange poisoning, to include the Reagan Administration.

    Most Democrats and Republicans in Congress never moved any legislation on veterans' AO health care, and it is only recently that the health and medical issue has been recognized or addressed by Washington. World War II vets in Congress were always hostile towards Vietnam Vets due to the vile view of most politicians that Vietnam Vets lost the war.

    A handful of members of the House and the Senate fought unsuccessfully for vets' AO health and medical care because they believed in the science of it rather than be blinded by the wrongheaded politics of it.

    The funny part is they used AO in Thailand to keep the bases secure from insurgents and yet the vets who contracted many diseases from it cannot claim it because they were not stationed in Viet Nam facepalm.gif

  7. All the shizer that you clever dicks rant on about are irrlelevent to the OP He is calling it as he sees it doesn't

    matter if he is a victim or not

    He is whinging and ranting cos the natives will not kow tow down to him thats all

    Get used to it!!! An old man comes from america, europe etc. and marries or lives with a young thing. All she wants is to show how big a house she has a and the pick-up bought for her father.

    You don't actually believe she loves you, do you??? She loves your wallet because it gives her status in whatever village or town she lives. Try picking a girl with an education and not a whore!!!!

    I have been happily married to a Thai girl for 42 years. She did not come from a bar and as soon as we got to America she worked!! I was in the military and she worked more than me. when i retired

    she kept on working till she developed Parkinsons at age 62. I have two sons who are Air Force Pilots. No matter where i was stationed she worked at least 5 days a week or sometimes 6 days. Now she is

    sick and i will care for her forever. i will not drop her back off in Thailand and find a sweet young thing because now, the girls have no morals or ethics. also i still love my wife and will not forget all she has done for me!!!

    i was lucky to find her!! GOOD LUCK NOW!!! wink.png

  8. I always believed that the gold price was set by the world market. Interesting it has gone down 3.2% in Thailand, and 4.5% everywhere else. Would this not be called "price-fixing"? Why would you buy gold here, if it is above the market in the rest of the world?

    gold in Thailand is sold at exactly the world market price (see below) with the advantage that bid/ask (buy/sell) difference is lower in Thailand.

    some people arrive at wrong assumptions, respectively calculations because they compare apples with oranges by not taking the different currencies in which gold is quoted into consideration.

    example:

    -the selling price of 1 Baht weight is today THB 18,200

    -world market price of gold per Troy ounce USD 1,099.50

    -one Troy ounce of gold is the equivalent of ~2.0438 Baht weights

    -the mid exchange rate US-Dollar/Thai Baht today is 34.89

    18200 : 34.89 = $521.64 x 2.0438 = $1,066.12 x 1.0363 (Thai gold purity only 96.5%) = $1,105 minus goldshop margin = $1,099.50 = difference zero!

    this lesson is free of charge although i have wasted at least 5 minutes of my precious time.

    The question is why would an idiot by Thai gold which is not .9999 Gold per ounce elseware???? thumbsup.gif

  9. When the economy went south in the USA many more people applied for Social Security Disability....there is serious fraud here. Combining the funds would be the wrong thing to do. Deal with the fraud problem.

    This is why I say fix the problem and create more jobs. More people paying in and less people applying.

    I think most people want to work, even the disabled, but what else to do if you can't find work.

    I actually think there is very little fraud. Anyone who has gone through the process knows it is not easy to get approved.

    To be approved for social security benefits you have to prove you are unable to work!!!! SSI and all the free stuff Obama gives to his own is what is the problem!!! only under obama has the COLA not been increased!!!

    The idiots who voted for him wanted a change and now they are getting it!!!!! no other president has destroyed so much of the American DReam!!! I hope America will turn around once he is gone!! sad.png
