and china would have all the specs on them within th first month, Thailand cannot be trusted to not let china get at them and the US knows this fact, it is fanciful thinking at best, much better chance of Thailand finding rocking horse s**t

My wife said she would like to move and live in Australia when her daughter becomes a doctor and finishes her 3 year payback to the govt hospital that part sponsored her studies. We would also want to sell off all our land etc here in Thailand to enable us to purchase land/house in Australia but are unsure how hard it is to take money out of Thailand to do it, we would also be looking at taking our daughter with us. Does anyone have experience in doing similar or know what is required to do this, I am aware of whats required for my wife but not the rest.

I think many of us did the same in what ever country we grew up in, the difference here is the kids do it in built up areas/cities and with their parents permision and do so in unsafe ways. Problem is the parents dont care as it makes it easier for tham not having to do anything so they let under age kids rids as well as drive themselves around thn when they are killed they just pop out another one, parenting skills/responsibility in Thailand are virtually non existent and the kids just dont care. We had a local that used to let his 12 year old daughter drive herself to school and he bragged about how great she was, he even took a video of her doing it and posted it onlne but luckily the police saw it and stopped it but agian nothing happened to th girl or the parent

I am getting the same thing, when I try to log in it doesnt let me but it puts my cart up & lets me into it so I can see whats in there then I can log in from there when I bring up anything in there, been happening since the weekend, Friday I did go in and logged in and had no problems so its only been happening for a few days, thai web site builders are pretty bad

so the police allowed a known drug user to own an keep a gun, shows just how pathetic the thai police really are to do nothing about this demented scum. Once again we see the thai police not going out of their way and ignoring the fact this person was dangerous, they need to be held partially responsible for this happening, if they had done their job he would not have had the gun and would have been removed from the police years ago. When are we going to s a thai police force that actually does what they are paid to and not just try to enrich themselves while ignoring the law and their responsibilities

this is what happens when there are no building inspectors as well as qualified trades people, anyone can just throw up buildings without any inspections to ensure they are being done properly, that why so many building etc in Thailand have structural problems, chap material & unskilled labour, lack of preparation of the ground, no soil testing to see what foundations are needed, no packing of any built up ground, while some builders do the right thing many who build these estates just to make money dont care as long as they make a heap out of it then refuse to correct any problems caused by their shoddy work

trouble is many drivers in Thailand cut these corners and cross over the centre lines, I have almost been cleaned up by cars, bikes and trucks so many times when they cut corners going to the right, it appears to be common practice with them and they dont care if cars etc are on the other sides of the road. Staying in your own lane just doesnt happen with many road users here, bike may well have lost control but may also have been unable to avoid someone cutting into his lane seeing it is the front right corner of the van that is smashed in

hahahaha, definiteluy understand this happening with ignorant drivers blocking people, maybe bull bars would be a great way to move these idiots that park blocking people in as well as ensuring its not our cars that are damaged when idiots cut in, cut off, etc when you are driving

We have a few different blocks of land near our house that we own and we need a quad bike/atv to be able to move things between them on a trailer that we will have built, will not be used for anything else. It will not be needed for constant work so we are not looking at buying a high end one, probably only needed for couple of days a week and lucky to have to travel more than half a klm all day, trailer will not be carrying anything heavy as well so I cant see the need to pay out too much to purchase one. I have seen several quad bikes advertised online for around & under 30,000 baht but have no idea if they are any good, would appreciate anyone being able to recommend any that would be ok for the small amount of work they would be needed for.

the spots on the branches is lichen, the yellow spots on the leaves is rust, the all yellow & brown is just from age & the sun, this happen a lot with frangipani/plumeria. I have several hundred growing here( I do a lot of cross pollination work to create new varieties, one of the reasons I moved to Thailand) and have the same thing, the hummidity in Thailand is the cause of rust & lichen, with more rain and heat it keeps happening. There are treatments but it is hard to control rust, lichen causes no damage to the trees so its not really a problem, leaves start to yellow and get brown edges etc as they age and the trees are getting close to dormancy/their natural rest period, many of mine are currently doing th same thing, they will start clawing back up again(new leaves) before too long, its just a natural process they go through each year

time to teach thais not to live beyond their means, they get govt jobs so they can borrow and maybe get in on all the graft that happens here. The institutions that loan money need to be looked at and given limits to stop anyone borrowing more than they can afford, maybe if these institutions had to accept fault if they approved loans that went beyond a set amount/percentage of the borrowers income they would stop allowing people to put themselves in debt that went beyond what they could actually repay just to save face.

anyone having trouble with this pathetic service and their delivery times, from Bangkok to Surat Thani is taking 3 plus days, ordered frozen food, it took 3 1/2 days and when it arrived all the dry ice had melted inside the foam box and we had to toss some of it away because everything had thawed, the meat was actually warm so had probably been sitting in the back of the truck in full sun for 2 days. Now we are waiting on another delivery that has taken 4 days so far, they put up on the tracking we requested a re schedule which is a total lie and probably to save face, this has to be the worst courier service around, they should change their name to snail delivery but that would be an insult to snails, they also refuse to answer any complaints/queries/emails, will never let anyone we buy from use them in the future and tell them to use Kerry only or lose the order
