British Tourist Dies After Fall from Pattaya Hotel
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I find many balconies here are way to low. Many times in hotels I have stayed away from the balconies. My Son's Condo in Hua Hin is a good example. He, like me is over 6 foot tall, the balcony only comes to hip height, maybe a bit more. I asked if I could raise the railing, in the same style and materials, but was denied, so I fitted non skid tape along the tiles as when they are wet they are like ice, and he is on the 6th. floor. -
Foreigner Begging for Money in Bangkok Sparks Investigation
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Reserved occupation for Thai National only is my guess. -
This went through our village recently, but in a slightly different form. A receipt was dropped in the letter box. All appeared official, with a QR code to pay. That is when the money goes to a fake account. This was posted a few months ago, so we were wise to it. One crazy thing is when they drop them in the mailbox. It must be the middle of the night as our box is directly outside the shop front gate.

British Man Arrested with Magic Mushroom in Patong
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Meanwhile, in our village as the sun goes down the 14 year olds, (and younger), ride around on the motorbikes stoned out of their gourd on Yabba while the adults sit around downing lao kao until the early hours. Then in the mornings you see the motorbikes with no number plates delivering the next night's lot of drugs. The police......hmmmm.........dishing out the drugs to the motorcyclists with no number plates.. -

Thai Government Debates Alcohol Advertising, Sales Hours

As bad as watching a movie on Saudi Air in the 90's. By the time it was all censored the whole movie was about 20 minutes long. -
How “peacemaker” Thaksin is stirring up Thai politics

It is here, only it is all kept quiet. -
I gave up looking for insurance cover years ago. At my age, and with some medical pre- existing conditions the premiums were ridiculous. Also, after some investigating I discovered they could get out of paying for most medical scenarios by quoting "pre-existing condition". I decided to self insure, and found a good Hospital in Surin that treats a lot of Cambodians, so is reasonably priced, and with good service. Good luck on finding a solution.

I personally know at least three people in Hua Hin that paid that amount of cash to make the charge go away. I also know at least three policemen who regularly ride their bikes while being incapable of walking a straight line. The only time people did not get away with it was when they brought the Royal police in from Bangkok to man checkpoints over Songkran before Covidiocy. That weekend there were a considerable number of people appearing in court, fined 6,000 Baht, and ordered to do community service.

Interior minister promises to spend budget wisely
AhFarangJa replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
One for you, two for me, two for you, three for me, three for you, four for me......... -
As usual, these are only the numbers for people who die at the scene, a nice little caveat to lessen the bad image a bit. I wonder what the full total including those that die later, and maimed for life would be. Also, as others have pointed out, these figures are NORMAL for any day in the year, another meaningless headline to distract from the shameful truth.

Thanks Dave, My Son has a pick up and a bike. He uses the bike around town only, but I do fear for his safety. As I keep telling him, watch out for the idiots on the road.....every single person riding or driving is an idiot. I cannot begin to imagine the torment of a Parent losing a Child, but I also cannot get my head around the blasé respect for life here.

Police to get tough on drunk drivers over New Year

Why is there a limit on under 20's blood alcohol..............it is illegal to consume any alcohol under 20 years old here..... -
Police to get tough on drunk drivers over New Year
AhFarangJa replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Exactly the same happened to me in Hua Hin. Stopped after a pool match where I had two beers, no problem, only whiskey is bad. -
Christmas day my Son's friend died in an accident in Hua Hin, 9 in the morning. A 50 year old woman pulled straight out in front of him, he hit her, fell off the bike, and a speeding pick up ran over him. His Father is a Brit, Mother Thai. He was 19 years old. Already the police have stated that if the Father (being Farang) pursues a case to prosecute He is wasting His time. There is simply no hope for these people. I am going to the market this morning, then the truck stays in the drive until at least the 4th. Please, please everyone out there stay safe, do not become a statistic.

Yingluck Patiently Awaits Homecoming In Thaksin’s Style
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My thoughts too. I was led to believe that you had to serve one third of your sentence before being even eligible for a pardon. In his case that would be about 2 1/2 years? He served 8 hours did he not....
