in general it is illegal to shoot someone when they are running from you and no longer a threat.

Which is the problem they simply steal from others less able to protect themselves. Pity he didn't get the other two. Wonder how many others will suffer at their hands?

your country sounds like a criminal's paradise

Yes the UK is. Good on the guy I reckon, pity he didn't get the other rwo

Yeap it's illegal to park like that, I got fined 200 a few years back, that's how I found out it's illegal!!!

Western food is good at The Good corner opposite the Kavinburi hotel. I've just booked the new Banbua hotel which gets excellent reviews. Pannerai is also a good hotel.

That's another reason not to go to Phuket

I usually go once or twice a year. 2 reason for me, Thai pass 

Hassle and cost of flights! I was looking at July or August but £1000 each is too much, I'll go elsewhere

Sleep with me pattaya or hotel amber. Both about 1000bt but very good! Book with Agoda just off soi Buakow

Always made a point of visiting the Blues factory when on holiday to see Lam play, excellent guitarists and bit of a showman. Get well soon

Didn't quite work for my friend! He was refused the Thai pass as his COVID certificate wasn't accepted although it was the official UK NHS document,!!

We've just had it, i was double jabbed, i had cold symptoms coughing phlegm, blocked nose, no sense of smell, wife much the same with high temp, she'd had 1 jab, daughter high temp, sneezing etc, all now recovered!

When your girlfriend applies for her visa, remember it's her application, you don't just "bring her over", and it's her that needs to satisfy the decision maker that her proposed visit is genuine, affordable and that on the balance of probabilities she will return home at the conclusion of the trip.

If you are paying for her proposed trip then the actual cost to her is zero, she can safely put that and explain in her covering letter that you are sponsoring her travels, hence the nil cost, you will need to prove that it's affordable to you, and in your covering letter explain why it's reasonable for you to do so.

As Charlie H rightly says, one of the most important factors in her application is her "reasons to return", so of course she'll need to prove her strong ties to Thailand, including her finances and accomodation. You mention that she has a restaurant, so she should provide details of that and who will be running the business when she's visiting for a short holiday.

Charlie has picked up on the fact that you propose purchasing a one way ticket, the UKVI strongly advise that non-refundable flight tickets aren't purchased before a visa is issued, though she will need to supply details on how long she intends to stay in the UK for and, should her application succeed, on her arrival at the UK Border the Border Force Officer may well ask for sight of her return ticket, if she doesn't have one she'll need to demonstrate that she has the means to leave the UK as detailed in her application, the Border Force Officer can access her original application.

She should be totally honest in her application, if she has limited funds in Thailand then she should say so.

Good luck

This is good advice. I tried bringing my girlfriend over on a one way ticket intending to buy the return in the uk, Thai Air wouldn't let her board the aircraft as she has a 6 month visit visa so I had yo quickly purchase a return ticket on India Air!!! Was running round Suvanabhum airport like a headless chicken as she was then late checking in!!!! 

Lithium batteries can usually be charged about 1000 times, electric bikes do struggle up hills especially if carrying a lot of weight, as a guide, whatever range is claimed, half it, and whatever top spe3, knock 25% off!!

Just go to your old GP and tell them you haven't been ill for 25 years.....they should be grateful.

Just say you haven't been to see them cos you've been sick....

Funny boy !

 

Jut the engine alone of any Benz or BMW is alone 10x better than any Jap trash.

 

 

 

 

I've had 2 BMWs and didn't rate either, coming from 3 Lexus which all surpassed 100k with an issue, both bns had problems not least a camchain snapping, I've now gone back to japanese, infiniti this time, not a single problem in 23k miles. Jap cars are far superior to German period!

So what is the difference then? 

I would not say that paying that price in an aircon bar makes you any one of the above. 

Agreed, wise shopper I reckon, why pay 100 for the same beer elsewhere if you can buy for 44, bargain 

Japanese cars are generally more reliable than any other, survey after survey have proved so. Germany cars used to be good but are living on past reputation, i moved from  Lexus to 5 series BMW and had problem after problem, usually expensive so I bought another 5 series and had more problems including the infamous cam chain snapping! I'd never buy another BMW, overpriced piece of <deleted>! I've been driving an Infiniti for the last 18 months, hasn't missed a beat, the lexus before the bmw also didn't miss a beat for 4 years. Anyone who buys a BMW must do so for the "prestige"? Badge?? Lexus and infiniti are leagues ahead! 

There's some great films there, how about It's a wonderful life? Anyone seen They call me Trinity???

Just tourists? Why not just ban all foreigners from riding scooters & motorcycles in Thailand.

I have no problem with riding a motorcycle in Thailand or anywhere else, ive been riding for over 40 years so am experienced, however i have seen plenty of people riding in Asian countries who clearly have no clue how to ride and are an accident waiting to happen. People who rent the bikes should carry out appropriate checks!!!

Neither. I'd be buying Japanese or Korean. Better quality, lower servicing costs. Lower initial cost.

The cachet of a Merc or Beemer is about the only point in their favor now, and it's a hefty price to pay for looking like a hi-so.

I'd rather have AWD, much safer in adverse conditions.

 

 

Totally agree, jap cars are leagues ahead of German, Lexus is top of the polls for good reason!!!!
