Lazybones

Live in Phetchabun, half way to CM from Bangkok. My 2 story house swayed back and forth for about 1 min. No damage. Quite frightening. 32 6 metre piles onto bedrock,2 per column. Could have surfed on my fish pond. Took me back to my days in Wellington NZ

No point in lowering prices if it sends you out of business. As a thai restaurant owner, admittedly in Melbourne, the above reference to 5% profit is probably a little high. What people here are focusing on is the rise in prices without looking at the cause. Overheads nowadays have risen exhorbitantly, particularly salaries, energy costs, insurance, rent. Owners need to take some action to keep afloat.

And also, that's not what the law says!

When i asked that question i was told that, because of the narrow roads in Thailand, they want to clear the main road first so they let the right hand turners go first. Hope that provides some sort of answer to your question.

Can't see the problem really. He had his red rash on the back!

And Australia apparently

I changed from money in the bank marriage to monthly transfers of over bt65.000 per month for retirement here in Phetchabun last month. No problems. I did have over bt400,000 in the bank as a back up at the time of renewal. The IO supported my switch to retirement. I've been in marriage for many years but retirement is much easier. SCB no problems with the bank statement and letter. 30 mins.

I attended a local Thai wedding where the brother of the bride had a tshirt on which said 'go f*** yourself'. I asked if he knew what it meant and when he said no i suggested he might want to go change which he did.

People who keep raising this issue need to shut up a you are just giving the Thai government ideas. The government have been seen to not really be interested in taxing falang overseas income so why keep raising it as an issue?

Some time ago, after a nine hour flight, i caught a taxi from the airport to Morchit. On the way the driver asked where i was headed and when told, he offered to drive me 360k to my home. About 50k out he stopped to buy some tonic to keep awake. The 3rd time he did this, after nearly falling asleep, I offered to drive which he accepted. So I drove his taxi 300k home!

What are these so called scams and who are they scamming?

And there are plenty of restaurants/bars around ther have toilets you can use

Yes, he forged documents to obtain the replacement deed.

Would help if the op could post a recording of the sound as, from what he described, I don't think any of the responses are correct. Except maybe the one who said it may be a frog as we have a frog here that sounds like that.

Yes, was caught up in that. Took 7 hours to get to phetchabun from Bangkok last night!
