They refused my star spanner 10 in my hand baggage on a Phuket U-tapao flight with Air Asia. I only needed that one spanner as I exactly knew what I needed to tighten once arriving at Ocean Marina. Checking in my hand luggage was offered for more than my flight price because I had not pre-booked. I threw away my spanner and bought a new one in Jomtien. Absolutely pathetic. 

Damn here goes our only hope to avoid the TM30

Thank you for your efforts. ????

Lot of fire damage to that boat. 

 

Edit .... would think a boat like that would have automatic fire suppression in key areas.

welcome to Thailand

The fat that as a foreign tax payer with a work permit I pay more than a Thai non-tax payer is utterly ridiculous, 

can we install them in every 7/11 so we do not need to report anymore?

But when is a foreigner considered an expat? After 5, 10, or 15 years?

an expat is according to Cambridge Dictionary: someone who does not live in their own country 

A Mexican, Hondurian, Cuban in the US, a Moroccan, Syrian, Libyan in Europe, are thus all expats but for some strange reasons we Westerners like to call ourselves expat while we name a Mexican, Libyan, Moroccan, Myanmar, foreigners, immigrants,etc but certainly not expats. 

One teacher less, Thailand is now definitely a safer place. 

 if you are a criminal you have money, if you have money you take an elite visa, no questions asked just pay.. 

Easy solution. 

Well at least it a step in the right direction.

So not all foreigners are thieves? Please, dear British friends, take that message back home. 

I forgot to do my 9-year-old daughter 90 days. Paid 5000 baht fine too. I'll make sure next time she really misses school and goes to immigration, I guess I will have to go with her and leave work as well. The cost of running a business in Thailand I guess.

Can be done online 

yes, so you would think that it is easy enough for the landlord to do. However he is still to lazy to do that and although it is his duty, I am the one that gets fined. Note it is only in Thai online, which is why I can't do it myself.

This seems rather strange to me. Why should citizens of other EU countries be allowed to vote in UK elections? Should I protest not be allowed to vote in Thai elections as I am a US citizen?

Should a Texan voter be allowed to vote in Maine for US elections?

No no - the fisherman took the call - delivered phone - the Tourist did it not bring to authorities at airport - brought it to his flat ????

 

Mr Dodd said he found the phone just as he was about to get into the taxi after arriving at Chiang Mai airport.

He looked around to see if he could spot someone who may have dropped it but could not see anyone so he decided to take with him to the hostel to try to trace the owner from there.

Soon after arriving at the hostel, Mr Dodd was arrested after police had seen him on CCTV picking it up.

So he went straight from the boat to the airport? Pretty nice clothes to wear on a ship no?

Revoking his visa will make him unable to get supplies from Thailand coastal areas and render him helpless to carry on living as such. 

Are they going to revoke his wife\girlfriend Thai nationality as well?

Blue passport? Do you mean the ones made in France? ????

All foreigners are criminals. 

 

Seems to be the underlying rational and justification for this.  

That seems to be the worldwide thinking now yes.

Take care Kev.
