That's impossible. You couldn't possible know pidgeon English as that is only spoken by the birds in Trafalgar Square in London.

Nothing wong with my spooling

They also check emmissions.

Is that what the guy at the test station was doing when he lay down behind the exhaust?

Looks as if we will be getting far more top end tourists here , maybe from Bangladesh and Somalia. who knows anythings possible.

As said 7 years for a car/pickup. But then comes a very stringent test at an authorised facility.

The do a rubbing of the vehicle id plate in the engine bay and then....

THEY COUNT THE WHEELS. (Serious stuff)

End of test. Pay your 200 thb and get your certificate.

NOTE, while 4 is the preferred number of wheels, other values can be made acceptable by a change in the amount paid.

You can then get your vehicle taxed for another year safe in the knowledge that it completely roadworthy.

You mean they didnt test your horn as well ,when i took my sister in laws spare car (its only 20 years old ,they did ----and switched the lights on !!!! some people just get away with murder.

And uknova.com

Thank you God

cant seem to access it ,anyone else having problems?

Fairly qualified to speak

... and he'd obviously be more qualified to lead Thailand than the current bimbo fraud we have as Prime Minister.

Are you calling Shinawat Thaksin a bimbo fraud?

And if i walked into a hotel and the staff told me i had to pay extra for my wife ,i would book out instantly .

we have stayed in hotels all over Thailand and this has NEVER EVER happened

Well, you're in your eighties and your better half in her fifties . . . that does make a difference in the staff's attitude.

Let's also not forget that hotels are required by law to get details of people 'staying' at their premises and moaning about it is ridiculous

Well i have heard it all now ,in my 80s god i look good for my age ,no a long way to go to get into my 80s but hope i do , and i was not refering to my wife checking in as you well know ,we were discussing the fact that the staff had assumed that his wife was a bar girl and wanted more money for her ,this has never happened ,i presume they take us as a married couple ,mind you if you book in alone and then turn up that night with a young girl in a short skirt a tatoo and a boob tube they may ask for a further fee and her identity card .

I am 23 years older than my wife ,in all the years we lived in the UK i never had a problem ,but then my wife speaks very good english dresses well and is friendly ,we have a son ,who at the time was quite young , we used to mix socially with all our friends and neighbours ,but then we lived in a big town there was only one occasion when a guy said something and i put him down and everyone laughed at him . dont take any notice of other people ,if they have a problem ,its theirs ,not yours.

Dr Ben ,he is on the road going from Naklua to town about half way down on the right ,he has a large sign saying DR BEN ,speaks good english wont rip you off and was trained in America.sorry i cant be more explicit with the directions.

What a waste of money ,and there have been accidents already ,where people have clipped the wavey bits that stick out ,level with the road.,why cant the powers to be do more about the pavements along beach road ,not poncing about with dumb lights.

I drive this road almost every day and I can assure you that the decorative wavy curve elements of the poles do not enter the plane of on-coming traffic. The ends of them are parallel to the curb so unless the driver is driving up on the medium or is an extremely wide load (in which case they should be in the left lane) they will have no problem.

It still does not change the fact that they have already been the cause of accidents .

Installation damage.

And nothing to do with the m/cyclist lying in the road then?

He wants to study logistics , And yes i would say most of his friends famillies are rich ,certainly richer than me lol.

i posted this in general but did not getmuch response ,my son is just leaving assumption college and wants to go to Bangkok university with his friends ,some have gone abroad but afraid i cant afford it ,can anyone give advice ,have you got kids there ect? all help appreciated

ps he is an average student ,but hard working and his english is perfect as he was schooled in Britain when he was younger.

Will they be doing this at the same time they regulate the jet ski guys?

All I know about Burupha is the aquarium from wandering around there.

It looks like he maybe choosing his uni based on his mates as you say and maybe potential nightlife/beach. He's going to end up deaf if he's in Burdock nightclub every weekend.

Is Assumption the school in Si Racha ?

Yes the one in Sri Racha, i dont think he will be in the disco every night ,he is into sport and quite quiet ,takes after his mum ,not his dad lol.

so sad ,but another reason that i would never ever ever ride a m/bike in Pattaya

yes its the one in bang saen, he may want to go to Bangkok because his cousin is there and his friends from assumption all come from rich families so perhaps thats why they are going there. , he has lived in the UK for many years and his english is perfect ,also we know people who have large buisnesses ,he has already been offered a job when he leaves uni ,but i would like him to go to a good one ,but you know kids.

thanks for the link ,but he does seem set on going there, ,he has also applied to Burupha.

You are all just a bunch of cynics ,dont any of you know that the best way to find true love in Pattaya is to come here on holiday and meet a nice girl in a bar ,just because you have to pay to sleep with her means nothing,its the norm here in Thailand ,i mean to say everybody knows that .

Dont listen to them mate ,you keep the dream alive ,keep sending the money to keep her on the farm ,i am sure she prefers that ,to going with men in a horrible bar with drinking and music playing all night .

sorry if i have gone on a bit ,but,

"nurse let go off my arm ime going back to bed now,yes i know i shouldnt be playing with your computer,but there is a nice man who needs my help on the other end"

I have just read this thread and all i can say is that every night i thank God that i married a woman who had a familly that had enough money to support themselves and they all had houses ,i am the only farang in the familly and have never been asked for a cent (except by her dopey brother who while being a really nice guy,is about as much use as a chocolate spoon) for any of you that have to shell out constantly ,sorry boys.

I dont know of this is the right place to post,but my son has just decided that he wants to go to Bangkok university ,anyone have or know someone there? all help appreciated.
