  1. Read livinginthephillipines.com then go for a drive around the different areas.

    The food is awful or brilliant nothing in between.

    The people love you ( honestly you not just your wallet ) and want to be near you so that your luck will rub off you to them.

    Retirement will cost about £10 a year and can be renewed at the local bank.

    If you keep a low profile government official will leave you alone.

    The language is easy to pick up being a mixture of Spanish, Malay and American.

    All business is done in English.

    If you don't like the weather where you are go round the corner find a different beach the sun will shine!

  2. The embassy a lawyer in Bangkok both agree that until the case is closed they can hold onto the passport.

    The police only want the meeting between myself and the family, and even then they won't apportion blame. But thai law protects the pedestrian even when they run across 6 lanes of dual highway.

    What is taken into account is care, that means if I was going fast or driving without due care, was she crossing in a safe place, did she look or had she been drinking.

    We will see!

  3. ATF

    I have AXA fully comp and what the girl has had done already 50k wouldn't cover it.

    Under Thai law they can withhold my passport until the case is closed and that can only happen when the parents or guardian come to agreement with me in front of the police.

    In a moment of stupidity I thought I may just get something useful from this site, but as you say indirectly, I'm wrong.

    The copper was very good, the mother also, the insurance guy great and has sorted everything at the hospital and more.

    I'm just worried as to how long this is going to take, but I'm not due to fly until end of the month.

  5. Contacted the embassy now waiting for their reply, I've spoken to her mother and she is better off than me living in Sweden.

    Apparently the police are right to keep the passport until the girl leaves hospital or the case is closed.

  6. I'm looking for advice, on Saturday night I had a road traffic accident in Siracha, Thailand, knocking down a girl who ran out across 3 lanes of traffic in front of me.

    We stayed at the scene assisting with the first response and then the police.

    The girl has had an operation for a ruptured spleen, lost her front teeth and several cuts and bruises.

    I went to see her on the night and again the following day, I have spoken to her mother who lives in Sweden and everyone is calm and the situation is amicable.

    I intend to see her again today.

    I have been found not at fault, but until the girl is released from hospital or her parents say all is OK my passport remains at the police station.

    I wish to travel back to UK on the 12th with my partner but until I get my passport back I am uncertain as what to do.

    Is there any help or advise you can give me?

  7. I bought a car with a retirement visa and resident permit i now want to sell but I only have a tourist visa.

    Do I need a permit and can it be issued with the tourist visa or just a copy of my passport?
