    I cannot comment on Thaksin as I came to stay in Thailand around the last year of his Premiership around 2005, and knew nothing about Thai politics then. I will say one though, the Thailand then was heaven compared to now, but the good outweighs the bad compared to the UK.

    The leader of the illegal coup in2014 was also unelected but he still went on representing the Banana Republic of Thailand for the next nine years protected by soldiers, tanks and guns, and today is still walking about free, yet posters are on here all the time wondering why Thaksin is not in jail.

    "our family Dr was an Indian Immigrant and was brilliant." That's great, immigrants in any country are fine as long as they are legal and contributing to the country's economy. Great post, thanks a lot.

    So you like to see shirtless guys walking about in public with their big titties and fat bellies? Whatever turns you on.

    Banks and Insurance Companies.

    Same with Krungthai bank.

    What about all the coups over the years? You get some high ranking soldier who along with others of his kind who fancies being rich so he decides he wants to be a PM so he arranges with the backing of his soldiers just to do an illegal coup. Think about the last one, how rich was he at the end of his nine year premiership compared with at the beginning?

    The best thing the UK could do now is start closing the Mosques.

    Yes!

    "Why not make things easier? just by using a good computer system". A good computer system needs a bit of brainwork to use, not like writing on paper.

    At least no one can accuse Simon of being Bob Smith, Elvis Presley etc.
  13. NoshowJones
    Yes!

    "I did.......and I am not alone." I have but I am not taking money from my UK bank to have over 800,000 Bt in my Thai bank.

    "Be patient and have all the necessary paperwork sorted". Besides, all the different IO's and IO staff make up their own rules where "necessary paperwork" is concerned. I would love to go on to the marriage extensions but would not take all the crap from the IO's, besides I have been advised by people in the know that I would have problems if I went to my local IO as I had been doing business with agents.

    Bigger bikes should be able to use these 3 lane carriageways, say 250cc upwards. There is no excuse not to allow them. You are entitled to your opinion. So again as usual we will agree to disagree and just leave it there.

    Have to be careful when buying these Fusion blades, there are I think copies as well as the real thing, very hard to distinguish.

    Your link doesn't work.

    Well here's what I like. The restaurants that have a notice up forbidding shirtless customers. The decency and honesty of the vast majority of Thai people. The weather most of the time. The looks and dress of most of the younger Thai women. The good value of most of the restaurants in the Soi Buckawo/ Soi Lengkee area. The helpfulness of many AN posters.

    When it comes to any "do it yourself" jobs, I must be about the worlds worst, I stopped attempting it many years ago, it's just as well Mrs Jones is good at it.

    Is there still not some soldiers still involved in the running of this Banana Republic of Thailand?
  22. NoshowJones
    There will be no 1000Bt notes under my seat, only three 100Bt notes in my pocket when I use the carriageway in the Don Muang area where no motorbikes are allowed. I have only had to use that 300Bt once. There is no reason not to allow bigger motorbikes on these carriageways.
  23. NoshowJones
    Could you be more specific please? What has a room got to do with "any differences"?
  24. NoshowJones
    I don't agree, every time I go into the Villa Market store (it's the only big store not too far from the hotel I stay in) the staff easily outnumber the customers, unlike in Foodland.

    I have took the stage with and listened to a few Thai bands in Pattaya over the years, and unlike back in Scotland, I never came across any poor Thai musicians. I was actually impressed with how good the bands were and probably still are in Pattaya.
