    Imagine taking a taxi on the meter from say the Darkside down to Chonburi Immigration, at certain times it would cost a fortune once you got there. Would you not be better with a fixed price rather than on the meter? I was in a car with someone, and at one stage the traffic lights just stayed at red for so long that the cars just went through the lights or we would have been there all day.

    I think the poster is worried that for some reason he cannot get the re entry permit at the airport. I worried about that too, so I always travelled the 50 K to my local IO any time I wanted one.

    Thanks for telling me, I didn't know that.

    I certainly do suit myself and have done so all my life, I shudder to think where I would be today if I hadn't, and that means 16 years of living in Thailand. If you want to obey everyone's rules you would be best just staying in your bed. One more thing, these agents are not illegal, and neither are the Immigration officers they work with, not like some bank employees.

    That would be exactly it, it is not often I get asked to leave a deposit, but there was a lot of kitchen equipment in the room.
  6. NoshowJones
    900 odd Bt per night.

    The room also had cooking facilities and the receptionist was probably checking everything was OK before handing me back my deposit. I had a very quick look and the monitor was quite big.

    It didn't matter to me as I never take girls back to my room.
  9. NoshowJones
    That's exactly what I mean Charlie.

    Yes, I don't know about video, but the receptionist was checking my room on some monitor before handing me back my deposit. I was being nosey and popped my head over the counter to see what she was looking at and had a full view of the room.

    When entering a hotel in Pattaya, I paid 300Bt as security to be returned when I left. As I was leaving, I handed in my key and expected to wait awhile for someone to check the room. I watched as the receptionist looked at a screen, it was not facing me, it was at a 50 degree angle so I bent over and saw my room as the receptionist looked at it. Imagine if that hotel had a kinky receptionist. ????

    I normally agree with everything you say Hotchilli, but not this time. If you have been reading recent posts about people's money in Thai banks, you will see what I mean. I can afford to put the required money in a Thai bank, but use an agent instead, because like the soldiers government in this unstable country, Thai banks just cannot be trusted. The latest case being the 16 year old girl whose bank lost her 500,000Bt deposit.

    So what if he is? Just because something is illegal, it does not always mean that it is right.

    "Every thing wrong with that. In my book it's Illegal." Well in my book it isn't, and my book is what I go by.
  15. NoshowJones
    That applies to everyone. in any country, in any profession, no exceptions.

    "no 50cc mopeds in Thailand that ii have seen." True, but some misguided posters do refer to a Honda Wave 125cc as a moped. Also, That same Wave is also regularly referred to as a scooter, that is also wrong, a scooter is a child's plaything that they hop along the pavement on.

    Not quite true, you can get a smooth part of the road one day, and the next day a pot hole is there, quite common due to weather conditions, an overloaded truck etc.

    Was what the unelected PM did with his soldiers in 2014 illegal or not? How can you try a guy who with his soldiers backing him up does not have to answer to anyone?
  19. NoshowJones
    He is guilty of taking over the country illegally, there is no court who can honestly say that he didn't. There was a legally elected government in power when this no hoper and his soldiers took over the country.
  20. NoshowJones
    None yet, but he did steal the country illegally backed by his soldiers, tanks and guns. If that is not a jailing offence, then I don't know what is.
  21. NoshowJones
    Maybe.
  22. NoshowJones
    Thaksin will be put behind bars if he returns, yet this unelected PM in office now who took the country by force nearly 9 years ago will probably never go to jail.

    I married a Thai with a 15 year old son who is now 31, has never given me any problems, always been respectful to me, never any rows or disagreements, stayed on at school then went to college, has been in the same job since finishing college.

    I drove with my then girlfriend down past San Deigo and across the border into Mexico, both going there and coming back into America, the car was not searched at all, though that was way back before I came to Thailand. Things could have changed now.

    I do know that certain motorbike rental shops in Pattaya were owned by police officers, although I am not sure if that is the case today.
