I think to save the species cross breed them with local ducks and then you will have a Duckalow Much more aquatic

Ya I would say pushing 50 or near abouts

I have lived at my present location for over 3 years I am supposed to pay the rent on the 1st of each month In the 3 years I have been here I have not even heard from my landlord one time. Not once I have paid as late as the 4th .of the month. I have in the past talked with a lawyer just off the cuff and he said under Thai law you have a 4 day grace period to pay rent from the due date on a standard contract. Is your contract standard

Anyways to avoid this verbal barrage just pay him on the 28th

As I said before and say again "keystone cops"

Well I think it is the way you look at the situation. Lets say their normal charge is 800 baht But if you dont have insurance they are then only going to charge you 200 baht because they do not want to be a financial burden to the uninsured

He must be the butt of a lot of jokes

Taxi Driver ---- I promise to pick up ever person that asks Not going to happen

WOW I am glad you are not a rocket scientist

They predicted that the Sun would come up. MMMM Took them along time to figure that out.

Guess they where busy taking the census on water buffalo

Radical Islam in of itself is corrupt.

Something like that happened with my Ex Wife She came at me with a knife and just as she was trying to cut me I pinned her against a wall

and grappled with her wrist. I had to bend her hand back to get her to drop the knife. After she did I kicked it away and then left the house

I came back about an hour later and there where cops waiting for me She said I had given her bruises on the wrist . Hell ya

I tried to stop her from stabbing me But the cops did not believe me

Life sucks sometimes Needless to say she is my EX

Heck I have lived with my girlfriend for 7 years now and she still does not want to marry Thats OK with me

All I can say is Smart Dog. There was a report on Discovery about Dogs intelligence Before They thought dogs can understand about 250 spoken words Now they believe they can understand more than 1,000 words.

Dogs have the brains of a 3 year old . Don't underestimate them

Sutip OMG give it a rest I thought I did not have to read about his cartoon antics again

He could be a resident and does this to keep busy

100 reasons he is there

All is fair in love and war

This has also been my experience My Mother in Law never interferes with anything.

Always has a smile and in general is a very very nice lady

Not all mother in laws are from hell

Prices reflect supply and demand. That's basic economics. I suggest you read a beginner's economics book. In Thailand's case, lost of condos with not enough renters. So supply outstrips demand. In countries like Laos there is more demand than supply. Simple economics.

Your Crazy Price here in Thailand does not reflect supply and demand. Builders put up a condo and to attract buyers they artificially raise prices. This sort of business model will utility fail when the builders price themselves out of the market.

The other factor that will affect price is the new real estate tax. I suspect there will be an adjustment in price downward once people realize that it will cost money to maintain their property.

The condo market is one step away from disaster. Highly over inflated

Suggestion. Next time you flag a cab Just get in and then once seated tell him where you want to go .If he then refused take a photo of his Taxi License and then leave.

Give that info the the Taxi association that regulates the Taxis

It will also put the taxi driver on notice as well

It is the Thai way Injustice Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhaya has not been brought to trial. Where is he . How much did he pay to to escape Jail. No news since 2013

This is a real injustice here in Thailand He killed a Cop Why is he not doing time ?

What I am reading between the lines is this. " No one has any idea what to do with Tourism since the coup and murder on the Island. Tourism is hurting and everyone including the Prime Minister are grappling for a way to get back the lost tourists.

You need to first reform the TAT and get some Westerners on board so they can better target the Western Markets where tourism is falling .

People from China don't really care about the coup. They have a totalitarian government so pay little attention to politics. As for Westerners I don't need to go into it.

but you get the picture.

Relaxed Visa rules for Canadians ! (That would be a great way to start things !!)

Thais like fish (Canada has lots of fish) !

Canadians like chicken (Thais have lots of chicken) !

Canadians like hot, sunny vacation spots (Thailand has hot, sunny vacation spots) !

Thais like Canadian dollars (Canadians have Canadian dollars) !!

Thais like ice (Canada has LOTS of ice) !

Canadians like beer (Thailand has, well, ummm, nevermind).

It's like a match made in Heaven !

Reciprocal long-term, hassle free visas with land ownership privileges would certainly entice Canadian businesses to do trade with Thailand ! (Maybe not, but I'm sure there are 1 or 2 canucks that would support the idea.)

I would be willing to offer my services as a "Reciprocal Agreement Supervisor" (for certain considerations of course) to help ensure a mutually beneficial (mostly to me) agreement is reached !

Good luck with the reciprocal visas, Thais can go to Canada on a 6 month visa, no re-entry permits required. That will never be permitted in Thailand. All foreigners, including Canucks, can enter Thailand on a 30 day visa, with the assurance that the ever changing immigration rules will permit them to re-enter the country for 7 days, or 14 days, or what ever immigration feels like giving them on any particular day. The last time I applied for a visa for my Thai wife to visit the great white north, the consul asked me if I had ever considered getting her a permanent residency, that's the difference between Thailand and a country that genuinely welcomes visitors.

I agree with this writer. Canada welcomes permanent residence . Thailand is scared of them. New Residence do not hurt a country they help a country in every way possible. For the most part new residence enhance a country.

"Thailand" what are you afraid of.

That is a story by The Nation Leave out that it is in millions of Krones then leaves out that it is 82 million in "Baht"

Who at the Nation writes this garbage. A very low quality journalist and I say that lightly

Last month I was stopped for a breathalyzer test. The cop just asked me for my license and I said I don't speak thai (even though I do) He checked the license then said in English. Do you drink? I said no which was true I was stone cold sober. He then produced a hand help breathalyzer and said. BLOW

So I did knowing it would not register anything. He then smiled said In Thai how long you here in Thailand. I said in Thai 9 years. He smiled handed my license back and said

Have a good night. No big deal and he was very pleasant. Glad to see there are really trying to keep the streets safe.

I am sure they nabbed some drinkers that night

Now what the police need to do is continue to do this. First office fine. Second offense. Taxi license suspension for a month. 3rd Time Ban on driving a taxi.

This will quickly get the drivers into shape. Right now the rule is there but no taxi driver cares He pays a fine and continues to do the same thing Time and again

Hey everyone When you get a taxi driver refusing you get his taxi driver number on the dash board and report the jerk
