  1. I think the answer would be NO however you could go down the route of having a monks blessing service many Thais do this but it means you are not formally married but as you said that you are already married I think the blessing would suffice . You can have as many monks as you want all you have to do is give each one food to eat and an envelope with money enclosed let’s say 1,000bht for the head monk and 500 Bht to the other monks hope this helps
  2. Most Thais will continue to use the ferries if motor bikes are excluded as they won’t be able to afford the toll costs it should either be free or a much lower toll fee
  3. The death sentence of this perpetrator is the only punishment ! RIP to this very brave lady .
  4. I never understand this ruling if people are going to vote they will do so the banning of alcohol sales will not deter them the only people who will suffer are business that sell alcohol I would imagine it would cost many millions in lost revenue
  5. Why mention the word a Brit do you have the evidence it was !!!!
  6. Great way to attract tourism it will be shelved before it starts when they wake up and smell the coffee beans
  7. Road markings on the islands are a joke everyday you will see bikers and motorists overtaking on the solid yellow lines they blatantly ignore the road markings
  8. I have Thai drivers license this will be my 4th on Samui I have always had an issue when renewing it I go a month before it expires make sure I’m well dressed and every time I’ve been told Come back when license expires then you have to sit through a stupid video a braking reaction test the traffic light test which I failed once when I said amber and they insist you have to say yellow I explained in UK we say amber so they made me do it again telling me to say yellow
  9. Where are all these trillions coming from is it going to drop out of the sky ! I heard that saying money grows on trees well my tree is now 20 years old and not one baht has appeared on any of the branches
  10. This is not newvote buying is the norm in Thailand the promise of 10,000 baht for everyone over 16 comes to mind that’s a form of vote buying as is vote for me and you get a 500 baht
  11. Amazing Thailand lose millions and millions of baht in the hospitality business because of local elections
  12. Do the crime do the time it seems to be the normal story when everyone is caught “ I was forced to do it “
  13. Was he wearing proper footwear like a pair of boots or good quality trainers these waterfalls are not for people who wear flip flops or other forms of flimsy footwear and I’ve seen plenty of tourists who visit these places with unsuitable footwear RIP
  14. The question is did he have a license to ride the motor bike / scooter if not the insurance has every right to refuse to pay out had he said he was riding pillion then he would of been covered
  15. Pledges never happen let’s not forget elections are coming up there will be many pledges from all parties remember the 10,000 baht for everyone over 16
  16. His party are history as he is time for the Shins to head back to Dubai
  17. I congratulate what the Thai police are doing but I have to question why the RedBull fugitive manages to enjoy FREEDOM when he killed one of their senior police officers !
  18. It’s good to get votes for the upcoming February elections he wants ti be seen as the tough guy not worried about all those 800,000 who have been made homeless he has zero intentions of a cease firex
  19. A ceasefire is when two countries agree to it hate to say it but I’m not sure if the Thai PM wants a ceasefire he wants to show the voters he’s not one for being messed around with I read that a GE is to be held in early February he wants his party to win it so he will be more than happy to sit and wait and hope Cambodia will concede
  20. At last getting the drug dealers that to me is far more important than arresting someone for failure to have a hotel license . They have the dealer now go after those who buy from the dealer I’m sure he must have contacts in his mobile phones
  21. It’s called manipulation they’ve been doing it for years I for one am thinking of taking a long vacation where my £1 will go a lot further
  22. There is GE happening in Thailand in the New Year I wonder if that has any bearing for the cause of this conflict !
  23. This is getting out of hand no need for this sit around a table and sort it out but I get the feeling that a certain MP wants to eascalate it further in order to look “ don’t mess with me “ as there is a GE in the New Year !!!!!
