  1. OUt of curiousity does anyone know what it costs to charge one of these cars athome. Also wondering bout all these electric scooters we see now
  2. Hopefully not. As much as he probably deserves one at this level he has a keen eye for what is happening and is more involved
  3. If you are going to be in and out why not get a 3-month tourist visa. Seems that would solve all your problems and it is not tht hared to get I am told.
  4. They have done this or something like it every election. Tablet for every student 200000 baht tax refund to buy a new car ( might have been DEMS) rice plan loans for farmers So far the PT promises are interesting 600 baht minimum wage 25,000 baht minimum monthly wage by 2027 25000 monthly wage guarantee for BA holders (even those working at Rotten Ronnies and Starbuck.) now 10000 baht for every thai so that they can spend it and make the rich richer.
  5. Interesting Chuwit can not hold them responsible or rail against them. BUT There is nothing stopping him from providing that information to the other parties to use against BJT.
  6. Another outlet would be School of Art Lat Krabang or Slipakorn university.
  7. The answer to your question is simple. How would you feel riding a scooter with her on the back or walking down the street hand in hand? Had the same thing asked about dating strippers in Ottawa. The answer is simple look at the reaction of people when you walk into the room together. There is a certain amount of pride. Some will wonder some will drool some will get hit by their wives. LOL When asked where she works she simply says customer relations at an office in Saladeng.
  8. fRONT PAGE MIRROR NEWSPAPER Young Englishman held against his will (insert pic with football jersey and clean kid smile) __________ area lad held in Thailand for shopping at 7/11. Family told trying to contact son but are unable to. British Embassy declined to get involved other than to inform his parents of his detention. (insert name of knob) was looking for something to eat at 7/11 late at night as he needed a snack. The staff of the store left the store and locked him in and refused to open the door for him. Thai police were called and (insert name of knob) was arrested and is remanded to Thai custody without bail. A GOFUNDME page has been established so that his parents can afford a Thai lawyer and air and hotels for his dad to go see him for moral support. The total needed is 80,000 pounds so dad and son can stay in a reasonable hotel while this gets rectified and the son is allowed to leae the country
  9. This is a PR move. Most of the Thais probably will not know the difference or care. Also I doubt she needs the job or the money.
  10. I can not find the exact decisio of the 5 areas But it used to be Bangkok: Khao San Road, Silom, Siam, RCA, Ratchada Soi 4 https://www.takemetour.com If anyone knows where the Bangkok areas are please post
  11. the big question I have is where are they getting the price UK or Thailand? There is not need for visas for the flight crew or medical staff as it would be a turnaround flight. There are companies that specalize in this. my question though is why do they not know if he had a helmet on. If he was wearing one it should have been on his head or at least at the accident scene. The other thing that of course, the Brit newspaper does not cover is the blood alcohol content. I feel sorry for him and his family but hae a hard time understanding why he was on a bike looking for food in the middle of the night. It is also interesting that nothing was mentioned in the Thai news about his accident or are they that common now that they are not reported.
  12. The reason he did not get a pardon was that the people protested. Yinglucks government was defeated by protest then a coup
  13. It's a great idea but who's going to decide what stores to buy iu and close. Also as stated there's a problem with Access. I would suggest traffic ???? and police in selected areas is the best solution. The other if course would be speed bumps. There are intersection where streets meet beach road perfect location for lights
  14. I agree but if you have no hotel you are asking for trouble with taxi ????
  15. ASEAN he just saw the military take over Myanmar again and Marcos was elected as president in the Philippines so he thinks he is entitled
  16. YOu need to go back and re read my post. You obviously have not read it properly. Yes there is a fine and most Thais simply ignore them. The deterrent is the loss of the bike until they buy and wear a helmet. Explaining to Thais that it is safer is a joke they all know it. They don't care because they don't have to. Nothing happens if they get caught. The fact that the bike is impounded and that it is mandatory removes the ability of the person to just pay a few baht. I am not generalizing just look at the facts of how many people die in accidents that do not have helmets. But then again you live in your rose coloured world and I will live in mine.
  17. The challenge that I see is if the PT win then they get to set who the Cabinet people are. They decide who the mportant working people under the PM will be. It is then up to the PM and the party in power to get along enough to get things done in the house. is it me or does it seem like
  18. The catch is that 2 days after the election we will not know who is running the country. First you have to <deleted> the ballots. then you have the fight for non voted seats then you have the court challenges. Then you have the house and senate appoint Prawit as Prime Minister as a way to send Thaksin packing I think even FF would vote for Prawit if it was a choice between PT letting Tony back in or Prawit. Heck, even Prayut, if his party wins enough seats, would be better thatn Thaksin and all the chaos.than
  19. Who do you think makes the rules for Bangkok ban is being imposed with this being no sale and consumption of alcohol, using high-pressure water guns, smearing powder and wearing revealing clothes I know financially it makes little sense but then again TIT
  20. I am waiting now to see who is going to argue that PT should be banned as a party and removed because a convicted criminal is electioneering for them. Thaksin saying this is just a way for him to gin up support from those that remember the good old days The problem that they are going to face, though is the threat or promise of his return is going to give some of the other parties the necessary fuel to add to their fire. Remember he was ousted by protest and a coup. There are still a lot of people that think he was/is guilty and do not remember the Thaksin days as the good ole days.
  21. Actually, the deterrent factor works well. When was the list time you saw anyone in the west riding a motorcycle without a helmet? The challenge is not the rules but the enforcement of the rules.
  22. Swampy has the auth taxis I just assumed that DM would have the same do they not. As to hotels it amazes me that people will fall for those lines. When I came here or any location, I made sure I had hotel reservations and that it was confirmed. People that come here land and have no idea where they are going to stay blow my mind. Now will the cabbie take a long way that is another story. again google maps is great for keeping track of where they are going.
  23. This is what made me wonder about songkran ban
