You`d better think twice or even three times before letting your wife loose in an area selling ice cream.

Areas are usually worked by established mobile ice cream vendors and they are very defensive over their territories. Anyone trying to barge in on their turf can be warned off, beaten up or even murdered if they think someone is taking away their livelihoods, especially if they discover there is a Farlang involved. Best to ask some questions first and find out who is all ready selling ice cream there before going to the expense of buying an ice cream cart.

A new drive belt.

Gold is presently close to a 3year high.

In the long term probably is a good investment,but comes with risk.

The benefit is she can draw down on it at any given time.

Maybe just bank it for the time being to mull things over.

If you want a Non-O visa that cannot be obtained from immigration.

Are you wanting to apply for an "extension of stay based on marriage"?

If so you will need a single entry "O" visa obtained from a Thai Embassy/Consulate and be able to evidence 400K Bht in a Thai bank or a certified income of 40k Bht/month.

Non O visa are available in country.

Check Udon immigration to see if they will do the conversion.

Some offices do some don't.

Good luck to him.

Looks like he has got some new threads

Better dressed than some foreigners I see here.

Robinsons sell quilt covers,King size.

Maybe that would be a solution.

Or you could dismantle one and end up with two sheets.

After a trip to a local seamstress.

My neighbours are just harvesting their first bean crop.

They must be ahead of the game.

Pickers get Bht 20 per large bucket picked.

The mechanical bean picker broke the first day harvesting.

Who does he sell the beans to ? wholesale, supermarkets ?

They just get hauled away in small trucks,rice style.

The majority of Thai people have no use for the English language.

Those that wish to learn English should pay for private lessons and save the government money by not employing sub standard teachers.

With the blacked out windows that the police used to outlaw but now don't even care, how would a policeman know if you were on your phone while driving in the first place ?

You want to do one simple thing to make Thailand safer; enforce the window tint maximum % and eliminate the anonymity that people use to cover their irresponsibility

A few countries make the black windows illegal and enforce it. A slight tint is OK but you should be able to see the occupants of the vehicle

When I first came to Thailand in the early 70's the police used to carry a tool to measure the % of tint and if you were over you were fined. But like most laws in Thailand those in power did not want it enforced because that did not want to be seen with their flavor of the week. I have no problem with tinted windscreens, the problem is the heavy tint on the driver and passenger side windows

Another of the many examples of laws in Thailand that are ignored to everyone's peril

When is Thai Gov't going to get serious about taking action to reduce the horrendous road toll??

As a first step, the installation & wearing of seat belts should compulsory in all vehicles, failure to wear a seat belt should incur heavy fine.

Unrestrained travel in utes,van buses, SUV etc should be banned.

Police to strictly enforce the laws.

I have to put up with all that crap whenever I go home.

What happened to personal choice.

Dirt bike shop Bangkok

Suk 77,If I recall.

They have a good website,of the same name.

I recently bought a Fox helmet from them,very pleased with it.

English speaker available Savarin or something like is her name.

Vehicles are seized for drink driving offences,until the fine is paid.

So in all likelihood the same could apply to Un licenced driving.

Another wet dream that will never come to fruition !

New drought regulations.

The crime was getting caught.

It's not as though he was selling outside school gates to youngsters.

Consenting adults would of been his target market.

If not him someone else will be along shortly.

Probably grassed up by one of his competitors.

Maybe he is a user only trying to fund his own habit.

Unfortunately he was caught in Thailand where sentences can be very severe.

Taking the action ,such as Thailand has.

Will surely discourage a mass influx of fellow, hopeful alleged asylum seekers invading the country.

The compassion of European countries,to allow the genuine cases to be relocated,now find themselves innundated with all and sundry claiming asylum, from far and wide.

Maybe Thailand are on the right track.

Just my humble opinion.

If one of those girls was my daughter..that teacher would pay in the biggest way!!!

How?

..use your imagination....eye for an eye 10 fold maybe

I prefer them to the airline that used to fly my route to Bangkok.

On time and a short flight of 40 or 50 Minutes as opposed to a 4hour+ drive as the alternative.

I hope they carry on.

I have 2 flights booked in April and am confident I will be flying.

So it's a thumbs up from this happy traveller.

£18,600.

It's hardly a kings ransomed.

I certainly couldn't live on that amount, not even here in Thailand.

But many people can,easily done in Thailand.Don't drink in farang bars or don't drink at all is a huge money saver.No car,limited ac if any and you will have baht left over.

I do run a car and motorcycle.

Mostly I holiday,fly business,stay in nice hotels.

That was the idea when I retired at 46.

This sign should give you a general idea.

I know I won't make the 100 mark.

Was recently informed I have 10 years left at best.

Quit a shock at 55 years old.

Not an issue just means I have more money to spend in the present.

Can't be bad.

The answer is yes, holders of a Certificate of Residence are eligible to apply for a gun permit.

But that would only give you the right to keep a gun at home, not carry it.

You may carry a firearm for self defence.

For a foreigner,Work permit entered in tabien bahn,pass criminal record check,healthy bank balance.
