Bob Pattinson is undead.

Unfortunately not ..... as the hyper-rich and the elite in Thailand are well above the law.

I went to the main police HQ in Central Bangkok - diagonally opposite Siam Paragon. They take your fingerprints using some black goo that looks like old steam engine grease, take copy of passport, then after a week or so send the clearance cert by post.

Thailand can't tax its own people, so they want to tax foreigners.

Maybe not .... the top celebrity lawyers on Channel 32 and 33 are volunteer lawyers, so not expensive.

Even if doesn't sign anything and avoids a formal job title, he's clearly working in Thailand. You ideally need to make a friend in the Labour Department.

Do you have a Thai partner who could make a formal complaint and ideally file a counter criminal co.plaint for fraud or harassment? Try to remove the foreigner element. There's also the option of hiring one of the Thai 'celebrity lawyers'. They are experts at arranging press conferences and embarrassing businesses into settling a case quietly to avoid all the negative publicity.

In my home country we're taught the 'life saver' - the good look over your shoulder to check behind, but when riding in Thailand I find that in the millisecond spent looking behind, total mayhem can break out in front of you. So in Thailand I rely more on my mirrors, unless I'm stationary. And I use my mirrors when stopped at lights, looking for the 'brake failure' truck charging through on red. Also, when going through a green light at home, I don't feel a need to check for red light jumpers crossing in front, but here you need to thread through the traffic that decided the red light was only advisory. Finally .... only use your horn and give the finger when you have a clear escape route.

I'd go for a Yamaha Filano or Honda Giorno with ABS if you want the Scoopy/Fino traditional scooter style. ABS on the front is a useful feature on small wheeled, lightweight scooters. The Honda Adv is also worth considering, but it's more costly.

Has anyone ever seen an energy use sticker that did not show 5 Stars? Surely every appliance, from non inverter ac's to washing machines with hot cycles can't be 5 star rated?

Stock exhaust needs to be tested and certified for type approval and noise legislation in many countries ... that costs. Plus original spare parts have a high mark-up compared to accessories. Compare original equipment brake pads or shock absorbers with accessory pads and shocks ... the (possibly better) non-original parts will be cheaper. Also, some original exhaust systems contain a catalytic converter - which is a costly item often containing platinum or palladium, which is not cheap. But with the aftermarket exhaust silencer, that lack of certification will bite you at the annual inspection .... so you may need to refit the original one if the test center is serious. Swapping for a louder 'silencer' will mean less back pressure, so unless you also tune the fuel injection (or re-jet the carburettor) you may lose some power. With retuning you can get a little extra power, but there's often a cost in reduced fuel economy.

13 years at Stage 1 .... except for a few days each month when it's like the beach landing scene from Saving Private Ryan.

Yes ..... the box contains a ticket to record the visits by the local policemen. Costs about 1,500 THB per month. There's several on nearby shops. I've seen them ride up on their motorbikes, jump off, do the ticket then ride away. Never seen them actually check anything at the property.

Question to both presidential candidates: Why do you think a forum dedicated to life in Thailand is dominated by posts about US politics?

.... and there's no such thing as a good dog for rounding up sheep - people just choose Border Collies as a random choice. Same with Police Dogs - Chihuahuas could do just as good a job as Alsatians, and Corgis make excellent guide dogs for the blind. The dog breed has no bearing at all temperament or ability 🤣🤣🤣

I use the 'Getting off at Edge Hill' method (as they say in Liverpool, UK). It's one of the last stations before you arrive at the main terminus station 🙂

There's been some obvious click-baiting posts from new members who only ever post contentious questions and never respond to subsequent posts in the thread they started. This trend started when the new owner took over, but after several members highlighted the issue, the trend seemed to stop. I hope future posts are all from real members.

Not only is the poor English proficiency stunting development, Thai language itself is a poor communication tool due to it's lack of precision, tenses and archaic written structure.

That is my point, and it went over your head .... completely. Why does there need to be a link to Muslims for the Muslim community to express sympathy. Many other groups have expressed their concerns without any direct involvement, but the Muslim community are isolated and self centered and only comment on Islamic issues.

Yes, the Muslim communities are not part of the UK, so why should they care about what happens in the UK. They only get concerned about what happens in the Middle East. Not being directly involved did not stop Royalty, Politicians and leaders in other countries expressing concern and sympathy, but Muslims are special.

Rwanda is a predominantly Christian country, so if speculating, the murderer is probably Christian. But the key issue is that many people in the UK have had enough of the world's problems washing up on their shores, and the problem is compounded by their mal-adjusted offspring. The violent demonstration in Southport today shows the strength of the negativity towards illegal immigration in the UK. Try arriving into Thailand by rubber boat, and you'll not get a free hotel stay and benefits for your kids.

The official reports stressing "BORN IN CARDIFF" are just as nauseating as the reports saying he arrived in a rubber boat. He's a sick loser and his parents should be shipped back to Rwanda as soon as their pathetic son is locked up for life.
