I did not say they were all stupid, I said that most of them are, and I stand by that. Most, yes I mean most Thai drivers and motorbike riders are stupid and not fit to be behind a steering wheel or handlebars..
"but the vets refuse to "put them to sleep".
That is because as long as the animal is still alive the veterinary surgeon can make money by charging the owners for treatment and medicine. In other words using the animals suffering to line their pockets.
DrJack54 is only trying to be helpful, not BSing his way out of anything. Both him and Ubon Joe are very helpful for posters with immigration problems.
They cannot always be on the ball when IO's all over Thailand are always making up their own rules.
How are they going to know if you don't tell them? Then again do they only rent for two or three days at a time, which will not make it worthwhile to rent a big bike at all.
I have also found that to be the case, a few days ago I had to travel 15 Ks to the nearest town to get any milk and there are two 7-11's and a Lotus in my village.
In a earlier post I mentioned Villa Market as the worst value supermarket, I had forgotten about Foodmart in Jomtien as I was only in there once and due to their prices have never been back. Is the aforementioned the only Foodmart in Pattaya? I haven't seen any more.
When Thailand has a Junta government, as what has happened a few times over the years, it's because they have elected themselves, and no one can argue against that with the soldiers, tanks and guns behind them.
What if you have an accident that is not your fault and you end up in hospital? If the other party does not have any insurance, then you have to pay the hospital bill, is it a case of hard luck, nothing can be done and the other party get's let of with maybe a small fine.
"you can't beat Xiaomi phones." I have an Xiaomi phone, worst I have ever had. Torch keeps coming on by itself then I have to keep putting it off, camera same, same. There is no excuse for these to keep coming on if I do not put them on.
Again nonsense. When I first came here to stay about 15 years ago, all it needed was a nice pleasant trip of about 200Ks to the border for a stamp every 90 days, that was it.
"It is a lack of management by the Thai Government, who doesn't see and don't take any action for these problems."
They are mostly soldiers, they only have about the same IQ's as the ordinary Somchai in the street. They would not have a clue how to take any action for these or any other problems.
