yes play all the time ,the wife dreampt our nos last month ,we lost this month i closed my eyes and took pot luck ,4000 baht richer.

if they are truck, you slow, they go

driving not difficult here ... just different from where you from

Yes, pretty common sense stuff. And you're absolutely right, driving here is not that difficult. It shouldn't take foreigners that long to adapt.

Of course, any sort of driving thread on this forum will bring out the Thai-bashing nutjobs in droves. Just wait and see.

Could that be because your average Thai driver is about as much use as a chocolate spoon ? now that

does not mean i do not like Thai people (I married one) its just that they have no training at driving and generally are "dim but nice"

I see this morning that GBP/USD is now at 1.55, GBP/THB might just get ugly real soon, for those Pound holders wanting that third world currency that is.

I should think most of us hold both currencies,dont ya think

I go to an Aussie bar in Pattaya ,3 of us welsh guys there.

Not many sheep in LOS so your options are rather limited I'm afraid.

so whats your choice then ,a nice porker maybe?

Everywhere in the world where there is trouble ,you can bet its muslims to blame ,why are they such a scurge?

Someone posted "Pattaya can become very boring" in some ways he was right ,eventually the nightly bar scene and the girls asking the same questiones become repetative and boring and who in their right mind would have thought that when a young woman puts her hands on your familly jewels you would take them off and say ,please i am talking to a friend and then ignore her .well it will happen ,if you are unlucky you will marry a bar girl who will break your heart ,if lucky you will find one who works out and if you are really lucky you will go beyond the bars eventually marry a nice ordinary woman have a kid and be happy for 20 years ,then Pattaya will not be boring ,but will be your home and you will be contented. Shit i"me misting up .

Women are women ,the world over some will love and cherish their husband ,some will see him as a meal ticket and some will treat him like sh-t, my wife(thai) and my previous English wife i am sure would have wiped my bum if i was to ill to do it as i would for them , its nothing to do with their race ,its called love.

By 2050 i i for one wont give a shit,the same as most of you who are commenting now

His misfortune may continue because if he only had that non-valid-in-Thailand driving licence, his insurance may not cover anything.

I think maybe thats the least of his worries

Today four tourist resplendent in shorts and flip flops were racing in and out of the traffic in soi koh talow, god knows how they were not killed ,i think they must leave their brains at the airport when they arrive,

My daughter was made redundant in the UK six months ago ,started a small buisness ,advertized on facebook and is going from strength to strengh , same happened to me 30 years ago ,got a far better job ,never looked back ,but you must always always think ,"one door closes,another one opens" or my friend you will be doomed.

Thanks ,their magazine is now a waste of paper ,just advertizing ,but the laugh was that they cut it down to save paper and the planet ,better if they cut out the advertising pages and gave us what we pay for ,they must think we are stupid.

It is hard for a topic like this to stay "on topic" These two Indian scum were undoubtedly on benefits in the UK,likewise their families,easy way to make money,more surely to follow these two.Detection must be stepped up a pace. Looking at the dumb faces of these two a street dog here in Pattaya would put the two to shame at attempts of cunning

yes and now the full weight of the social services will swing into action to ensure his familly do not go without ,no wonder Britains broke.

I hope he is loaded. Can't believe he stopped. Not the Thai way at all. They'll learn...

if he has 1st class insurance he will be OK

What would you consider 1st class insurance, too cover you through thick and thin? I ask because I had an accident totalling my VW Touareg 1 1/2 years in Indonesia. It was quite feat I touched, grazed and side swipped 11 cars before running it smack dab in to a big oak next to the road. No I was not drunk, medical issues. But between the cars I hit and totally the Touareg Kurnia in Jakarta paid out over 170,000 USD. The the insurance group that Kurnia handles IHI/BUPA paid out over 1/2 million USD to GlenEagles Singapore for my 4 months stay. It was definitely not a good month for them or myself.

1st class insurance covers the police bail bond in Thailand for foreigners in case of accident, 200k baht from memory, plus fully comprehensive, medical etc of course their are limits but can be increased by paying for more cover. The insurance company representative does all the work on your behalf.

The issue in Thailand is some foreigners do not obtain the bail bond insurance so they have to negotiate with the police & must pay cash, otherwise they are detained. as well as negotiate directly with the friendly local police for victim compensation etc

Some years ago i had an accident when turning left a bike tried to undertake me and didnt make it ,i had 1st class insurance and a 200k bail bond(dont leave home without it) through all the demands for money and shouting i just showed them my insurance and said "deal with the insurers you are at fault" worked a charm

Behind tuk com there is a mosque ,do not know the name of the street ,but loads of Indian stores selling everything you could want and far cheaper than the stores like Makro.

Now if i was you i would get out more rather than read boring posts that your nan would have liked.

Hey, you can't talk to me like that, I'm a super member, you are just a senior member...

Oh sorry ,i bow to your SUPERior rank . anyway ime off for my supper now as my superior is calling

Now if i was you i would get out more rather than read boring posts that your nan would have liked.

Well at last ,we put the air con on last night for an hour or two ,but the weather still seems cooler for the time of year ,my daughter back home in Britain says that its bitterly cold though.

Why are you concerend about it you weirdo?

Don't worry, you will soon be dripping with sweat again, then you will be happy.

God now your wierd if you remark about the weather ,if your so distressed by my post ,why read it ? now thats wierd .

If i had all the money in the world i wouldn't go near a Thai women again, well apart from my kid.
