And this is why Thailand will always be a third world country,

At least it was only a kicking,usually guns and knives as par for the course here,

So you're saying that you should check that there is no idiot driving the wrong way.  When turning right, position yourself on the crown of the road and give way to ONCOMING traffic.  The car should not have been overtaking, and not so fast, and certainly not where there is a right turn (junction albeit a minor one).  Apart from the safety issue (no helmets and 3 riders), the bike was being driven correctly.

I wonder where some posters learned to drive!

Probably learnt to drive in Thailand,,,,

Up the 323 they are visiting all retirement and marriage extensions,a mate just had his visit of 5 officers for a marriage extension,same adress over 10 years,same wife and child that started out as a nipper now a teenager,wanted more pictures inside and outside of their house and meet the neighbors,same every year.

So why havent the caught the red bull clown? If that caught this bloke on a red notice?????

Recently in Pattaya the guys selling fake watches and sun glasses were definitely not thai,my guess was they were indian,

I don't think the OAP meets the financial requirements anyway.

 

I'd suggest most of the Aussies would have more than just the pension.

The OAP is $849,au a fortnight in Thailand.

Another coverup coming,,,,

4 weeks in Chiang Mai - I've just picked one up.  Haven't heard from anyone applying for one in the last few days, so perhaps it's improved.  The office hours certainly have - 6am to 8pm now.

 

As an aside, last time I got one it was 2 weeks; not about 2 weeks, they told you to come back in 14 days.  This time I got a slip to return in 30 days at 5pm when I declined the 'express service'.  Perhaps there weren't enough people willing to pay for the sake of 2 weeks, but whatever the reason for it, it has doubled.

 

 

At ,east you get one ,Kanchanaburi dont issue them period,same they refuse to do 90 day reports on line

And we wonder why these clowns cant make money when its run by idiots,,,

If not resolved soon I can see a big hole in the Thai economy from all the expats leaving. Having a beer with a mate the other day he uses pension + super top up to live a decent lifestyle but to put 800,000 in Thai bank, no siree I'll just go back to Oz

Have to agree,why would anyone pull 800,000 baht out of a super fund usually getting 7% plus and put it in a thai bank and get what 1 1/2---2% interest..

I was at Jomtien on Monday morning at one stage you couldnt get up the stairs to get a ticket,it was packed,

Good luck Phuket more zero dollar tourists.

A low-cost foodcourt and a few restaurants that weren't in Pattaya before are the highlights I've spotted so far. All else seems to be standard mall stuff.

So the foodcourt will be full of Russians and Chinese,great,just like Central plaza.

This is why Thailand will never be more than a third world country,

Can’t even get all Thai immigration offices to sing from the same hymn sheet, and play by the rules. What does that take? a few phone calls now that is a big joke.

Agree like trying to do 90 days reports on line,that some IO refuse to do and getting a certificate of residence that they also refuse to do,

Thanks Ubonjoe

What copies do you need to include when doing your 90 day report by mail,cheers
