If the Thai navy ships are as bad as the Ferries between the islands a sea worthy vessel certificate should never be issued the standards between sea worthy craft in Asia and those in other countries of the Western World would deem them to the scrapyard RIP to all those who perished and yes a full enquiry should be held by independent investigators to ensure nothing is brushed under the carpet with no interference from the Government

Transferring money from the UK
crazykopite replied to bannork's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Open a wise account it’s very simple I sent 25k over last week it cost around £145 but was sat in my Thai bank account in.ems than 2 hours if you send £1,000 it normally takes less than 3 minutes last week I managed to get 43 to the £ today it’s 41.990 so I did okay the good thing the rated change many times during the day so you need to keep an eye on it I have a GB account with them where I hold money so it’s l most instant as I don’t have to transfer monies from my U.K. bank avoid doing transfers at weekends as the Friday rate is all weekend plus it takes much longer to reach your Thai bank so best do it Monday to Friday -
Irishman dies in kayaking incident in Thailand
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You are correct Armagh in a county in Northern Ireland which is part of the U.K. like me he might have two passports one English and one Irish if he travelled to Thailand on his Irish passport that would be the explanation for the Republic of Ireland to deal with it . Very sad it appears he did not have insurance cover during his visit as the insurers should cover for the repatriation of his remains ???????????????????? -

They ask if you can pay prior to giving treatment if you say okay , if you say NO it then depends on the hospital from experience Samui government hospital are normally very helpful they have an office that deals with overseas patients Tina who heads it is very helpful she goes out of her way to help those in difficult circumstances sadly most tourists have never ridden a scooter till they come to Thailand and rental bikes don’t have insurance to cover those who hire them -

Norwegian man arrested on Samui Island for 15 days of overstay
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
It would be more financially sound to fine him 20,000 baht than to go to the expenditure of locking him up and giving him free B&B then giving him 7 days notice to leave the country -

crazykopite replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I agree with your comment but no one forces you to go into a bar until the government change the law and ban smoking in public areas you will have to put up with it by the way I don’t indulge in any form of drugs unless coffee is classed as one ! -

16 days overstay yet it takes 6 police officers to track him down when they should be out hunting those who have entered Thailand to escape justice in their own country for serious crimes like drug dealing , murder and rape -

*Deleted post edited out* Both parties have to be there and agree to everything including finances if you get married in Thailand you can only get divorced in Thailand .

If you married in Thailand and your wife is happy to divorce you it can be done at the local Tamban office 500 baht however if that is not the case you have to go to the court which is a lot more expensive they will grant it as you have been separated a number of years she doesn’t even have to be there I looked into all of this and in the end decided to remain married after two failed marriages I’m not going down that road again a weekly massage home service is more than enough to keep me more than happy
