Just out of interest , what will happen to the million gas station workers sat on their stools, two to a pump waiting for your arrival to give you petrol if you can charge your car at home ? 

They will be employed replacing all the blown power lines to houses that will happen.

Think someones maths is a bit off.

What a joke. The maximum cover you can get in Thailand on a single policy with the only company that sells it is 1,000,000 Baht.

Do they supply you with a photo as proof?  Could there have been gridlocked traffic and everyone in the intersection when the light turned red was pinched and sent a ticket?  Sounds a little suspicious to me if there is no proof or a photo sent with the ticket.

You get a photo of both front and rear in most cases and I too live CNX and have had tickets. They are pretty accurate so just pay up at the post office and grin and bare it.

Actually you are buying the same pair at 80 baht...they just did away with the extra paper. But no...live in an around Bangkok...you all need to stay away from tourist trap areas....normal pricing everywhere else.......Let me guess...you live in the farangville Sukhumvit / Asok / Silom etc etc

Answer to your question is no I live Chiang Mai as a long term resident,  and 100 Baht is common here. Yes they combined the tickets but if you win you only get one prize not two, that I have experience of

If they can only legally sell tickets at 80 baht on the street....what kind of sense would buying them at 80 baht make ? And before everyone screams that nobody sells at 80 baht...in my 5 years here I have never seen a ticket sold for more than 80 baht for a ticket pair. 

They haven't been sold in pairs for ages only single tickets at 80 Baht each and yes they are sold at 100 Baht in many places. Especially if you buy more than one of the same number. Guess you must live  in a remote village somewhere.

Cool with Ice water Yes, Saline ??? how many people keep sterilised bottles of saline at home? Ordinary salt and water not a good idea.

The flatmate had no boob job yet, obviously.

I would assume that is the Russian not ladyboy

10,000 Vendors doesn't sound quite right somehow. Been there many times never seen that many.

Where do you get 2,000 TB for accident insurance, do please tell.  many years ago mine was 2,000 from A Thai Bank Insurance Company, this year 6,000 for the same cover.

Don't know where they get their figures from but Doi Saket is 27C now and 21 last night.

Affordable prices??? Some of their prices now are higher than Tops or Rimping, cheap no longer.

So why is it the police job to remove all the crap ? Should be council workmen.

It is not the police that is doing it, as it says 'Council officers'.

The figures as quoted do not make sense, 300% etc. If you are going to use percentages explain how and where they come from.

Biggest lot of rubbish I have ever heard of.  Every ex-pat I have stolen to are against it. Over 70's cannot get normal cover anyway.

Absolutely nothing other than headaches and hassle

Trouble is some ambulances abuse their privilege. I have seen ambulances using lights and siren stopping at a restaurant for food and then continuing their journey on lights and sirens with no patient on board.

In Thailand the reduction in 'plastic' is something of a joke. A local Supermarket company in Chiang Mai with multiple shops changed their plastic containers for cut fruit into much thinner ones to save on plastic. So what do they do now, wrap each container in multiple layers of PLASTIC cling film in case the thin plastic splits open. Plastic saving NIL. The same supermarket that every Wednesday bans plastic bags and gives you a cardboard box if you do not have your own cloth reusable bags.

This guy is very well known in Bangkok expat circles and has been the savior of several people I know including myself.

He is arguable the ONLY chiropractor worth seeing in Thailand. When Thai doctors were telling me I needed an operation on my neck (and was wearing a neck brace) someone recommended to try this guy.

 

It took several visits over 5 to 6 weeks but he completely fixed my neck problem (as he had for the person that told me about him).

 

i have tried many others and can honestly assure you that you are wasting your time...even Dr Pack said he was no Dr Mark and not to expect the same results when I saw him once.

 

Trust me on this recommendation...really.

Totally agree with you, Mark Leoni is an excellent Chiropractor, have known him for some 20 years since he first started in Bangkok. Have tried others but none of them helped.
