    But for the obscure way Thai's record statistics only the 4 who died at the scene will be added to the road carnage register!!!!????

    Naa! Not in the same ball park as my Mums home made stews.

    Way to go, drown the courts in paper and string out the procedure until the "statute of limitations" has passed.

    You obviously have NO idea how this payment relates to the OP. TW (a salaried employee of the Amphor) is the co-ordinator for some 28 volunteers in our Tambon (14 villages). The payments cover their out of pocket expenses for any number of call outs they get through the month AND there are many!!!!!!

    "No important documents related to legal cases ........ .." Accept for Boss "Red Bull" = Bummer "Oh well, that's fixed a big problem"!!!

    My "never again" experience was about 8 years ago. Obviously things have not improved. Hang the expense, I only fly Singapore Airlines to and from Australia!

    I could post a comment here but won't for fear of finishing up as tree fertilizer out in the rice paddies.

    We are in Thailand! The object of the exercise is to put the wind up em.

    As I do. Always carry my phone in my shirt pocket with the camera just above the crest. (Including when dealing with Imm.). Not always recording but can point to it if needed! Certainly has worked in my favour in the past.

    Well that's one way to get rid of these overloaded, underpowered menace's off the road. EDIT:- And, hopefully that'll be the last sign of black smoke we will see belching from this piece of garbage!

    100 M Baht will buy a lot of band aids but not much of a complete make over that hulk will need!

    They must be tearing their hair out! I flew out of Adelaide to BKK via SIN early July last year. The check in chic demanded an insurance cert. took 15 minutes to convince her it was quashed 30th June. Pity the poor travellers lined up behind me! Thai BS continues.

    Agreed! The driver obviously had seen the train (too late) and tried to stop. His/Her view to the right could have been obstructed by any number of things.

    The 'brain dead' scum bags probably in the arms of their 'brain dead' parents!

    My first and LAST flight with them in June, UTH - BKK. Amongst other things it took longer to get into the terminal at Swampy from where the aircraft parked than the 65 minute flight.

    Not about security rather than frustration. Ever tried to get a cashiers cheque from a bank in this country? A few years ago I bought a new car and wanted a cheque from my bank, it took 3+ hours because I could not perfectly replicate my 20 year old signature in the back of the "BS" bank book AND to top it off I was charged a percentage of the value. A few trips to an ATM machine over a number of days would have been much easier.

    The red Nissan 3rd from the left belongs to TW's nephew. He is in the process of getting it back no mention of kickbacks to the BiB at this stage.

    Red plates should come with a log book and usually require a deposit (if I remember it was about 3000 Baht in our case". The paper trail should be proof as to which party is at fault!

    "For this privilege the foreigner must invest 40 million baht in a single project and must commit to three years." No one with half a brain would do this: "Put all your eggs in one basket"!!!

    Oh my! The TAT loaned the TCT their calculators.

    I'm led to believe property identification is associated with the Chanoot Title ID and not location. I have the only number visible, in our Tambon, to the road. Really not necessary now as I'm the only Farang for miles, the postie and Kerry have known me forever.

    Incorrect or non existing property identification can be a problem. Many years ago we were paid a deposit on our 14 Rai of Eucalyptus by a contractor who proceeded to remove our neighbor's trees. The contractor had been to our property to evaluate the trees so I don't know what went wrong. To his credit he did compensate the neighbor after TW returned his deposit, he eventually bought ours again!
