  1. Recently I was at Suvarnabhumi, waiting for my flight I wanted to have a glass of wine....400 Thb for a glass.
  2. They all rent their location indirectly from the Thai government, after all they own the airports, and not just in LOS, let's face it, all over the world is so-called “Duty Free” scams.
  3. It is not only income tax that makes the Netherlands unaffordable but also many extra taxes, excise taxes they call it, on important things like energy, more than 50% tax, VAT 21%, the people there are being sucked completely dry.
  4. but virtually unaffordable by now. one of the reason to flee that country, people there are drowning in rules and laws. As for infrastructure there are fierce cuts, roads that are needed are not being made, bridges that need maintenance that too is being postponed.
  5. That is the problem with the Dutch government, they always have too much money and if it becomes less, they raise taxes again, the Netherlands is one of the countries in the world with the highest taxes.
  6. Indeed, you begin to wonder if they are sure it is covid.
  7. Or my gf, After all the hassle here in LOS to sell my car, I have already decided to put each successor car in her name, also with reaching a certain age it is easier for her.
  8. Have here my own car for sale, Isuzu MU-X, 4-wheel drive, 3 ltr diesel 43,000km on the odometer, in great condition purchase Jan 2021
  9. Well, failure to pay a fine, in some Western countries they go on enforcing payment until you are left with no credit at all. Then in Thailand things are more humane with the result that many fines are irrecoverable.
  10. This week I was at the io for proof of residential address, they need 2 passport photos for that and 500 THB, need it for renewal of my driving licence. If I remember correctly, I don't need a passport photo there.
  11. So it was actually a redundant wheel 😉
  12. Then you could argue that it might be intentional, if not, it is stupidity.
  13. Regarding left-hand overtaking, which would not be allowed, the government has actually promoted it by instituting 3 different speeds on 3 lanes, namely, 80, 100, and 120 kmph. Someone driving 110 in the right lane can then not be overtaken by someone who wants to drive 120. The most ridiculous system I have ever seen.
  14. Indeed, it would be better to no longer allow cash payments on offences, but yes whether any money would come in is the big question.
  15. So what? Are you trying to say that a police officer should only stop you at an official police checkpoint? Where are you getting this nonsense, notabena as a hollander?
  16. At last, there will be stricter action regarding wearing a helmet, and oh, oh, how they will moan again when they refuse to stop and the police still try to apprehend them.
  17. And I talk about other countries, it is not only Thailand. BTW is ikke family from you?
  18. Belong to the Cha-am office, where I can just walk in without an appointment. Will visit it next Friday to get proof of residential address.
  19. The man is not 100 per cent mentally. Took the Netherlands to the abyss the 12 years he was in office. It is also said about him, when he opens his mouth he is already lying, also he is compared to Pinocchio for the same reason.
  20. Ah, in my opinion, the Japanese toilet is still the best including hot water. I am considering purchasing it. But I don't find Thai hygiene overwhelming, for example washing hands after using the toillet, they have never heard of that.
  21. That does not argue with thai prisons, it happens regularly.
  22. I just made a apointment, thanks you all.
