    I too am making plans for Songkran...........Stay at home for a week.

    Is this just another move towards a cashless society that the ruling elite want?

    I thought all motorbikes had to have the light on all the time while on the road.
  4. AhFarangJa
    I acknowledge that vendors or shops using the pavements are a nuisance, but, if all these bikes are taxed then what law are they breaking?.
  5. AhFarangJa
    Fainted.........Sorry, but pure histrionics. Middle Eastern people are very proficient at it, especially the Women.

    Exactly, my B.I.L.'s truck tax sticker says 2560............and he has had it 6 years...........

    You can get an idea of the manufacture date by two ways, sometimes a sticker inside the door well of the drivers side, or by looking at the v.i.n. number. With the v.i.n. I believe the 10th. character is the year of manufacture. Could give you some idea of how old it is.

    You may have forgotten that illegal activities of any kind here are a reserved occupation for locals only.

    The warnings are being aimed at the wrong demographics. They should be warning tourists of other countries that there are likely to be hordes of Chinese tourists in Thailand.

    If you take a close look at your receipt from a 7/11 you will notice the cashiers name or employee number on it.

    Officials also warned that technology will be used to support rigorous law enforcement against those who do not wear a helmet while riding their motorcycle. Except the police who are directing the motorbikes out of the schools in the afternoons. Most with unlicensed, underage riders carrying three passengers, non of whom have a helmet between them.

    Used to be a daily check point outside market village under the walkway. However, they mainly targeted Farangs.

    In Saud Arabia, (where I worked for many years), during Ramadan the Saudis actually become more proficient. As it only takes them 4 hours a day to do s*d all instead of the normal eight.

    I only ever answer if the number is in my contacts. A few weeks ago my Son tried several times to call me. Not recognising the number I cut the calls. Turns out he was using his girl friends phone as his battery was down.

    I looked twice too, then I read he is an 'influencer'. Modern parlance for a p.r. man. So I guess he was helping her with her homework while she was absent from school..............( and, no, I am not a fan of the spoilt little b****).

    If his lips are moving, then he is lying.

    Thankfully, we will not be seeing any of them near Surin. ( I hope ).

    Every Immigration office is a mini fiefdom for the bosses. They interpret, and instigate the regulations how they wish, with impunity mainly. Break their rules, and pay a 'fine' or leave. The one bad thing I can foresee in Phuket is that if you upset a local, or someone else with influence, it is now a lot easier to get rid of you.

    It is a headache for sure. I live in Surin now, so two trips to Bangkok would cost me about 5,000 Baht in diesel. I used Key visa company in Pattaya, which, as you say cost 5,000 Baht. I was lucky regarding the photos. Went to a Thai photo shop in Prasart. He took my picture in the photo room, then changed the background, etc. on the computer. He certainly knows what he is doing.
  20. AhFarangJa
    What they fail to mention is that they put the tax on petrol up to cover the shortfall on diesel.
  21. AhFarangJa
    Same as Transam, my application took 16 weeks last year. Applied middle of June, received passport middle October. The biggest headache is not being able to track it. Even though VFS give you a reference number it does not work for British passports.
  22. AhFarangJa
    Yes, but it should be noted when applying for the first licence. Then you can renew it for a 5 year licence as they will be running almost consecutively.
  23. AhFarangJa
    Another good tip for you, if it is possible, is to get the licence soon after your birthday. They count the years before expiry based on full years. For example, if your birthday is in September and you get your licence in December, it will not expire until September 2026.
  24. AhFarangJa
    Gouging back what they last in the covidiocy maybe.

    These darn bikes are just so hard to train. Just when you think it is safe to ride one, it runs away....
