As far as I am concerned there is no way around it. When it comes to immigration, there is no other way. It's their way or you are out of here so pay the fine and dont repeat this mistake.

I believe those girls laugh because deep inside they know that about themselves that they are nothing else but a big joke. Besides the simple reason, many men do it and support them from overseas is because they are dumb, ignorant and desperate to find someone who loves them, without understanding the point that these things(dont deserve the title: women) are only after their money.

 

 

no misogyny issues here, move along.

 

she must have really hurt you mate, how could you have been so stupid.

 

well you have my pity, thank you for demonstrating how badly damaged you are.

 

you are in good company though, there are many before you who have believed others less than human based on race or gender.

 

have you considered growing a moustache?

None of what you ve written holds any truth or makes any sense.

I have no problem with females, I actually love them and have a lot of respect for them. But I have no sympathy for people who try to advance by taking away from others..regardless of gender.

But your smart comment was greatly appreciated.

The owner clearly doesn't want to deal with the police. So tell him that either he reports it or you dont pay. Then of course he has your pport and he will say that he is not going to give it back to you. That's good..tell him that if he doesn't give it back you are going to go to the police station so he will need to deal with them anyway. So either he tells you the truth now or you are going to report that he doesn't give it back and he tries to scam you.

I would not call 625k 'cheap' for a car, it's bloody expensive for what it is

For what it is - that was my point. 625k is a considerable amount of money. And yes it is a lot for what you get for this money.

Eventually you are going to be forced to use a program to dload videos as the downloading is illegal and those tricks like typing ss are going to disappear after a while. But they cannot do much against softwares created for downloading.

so why and how is it 'fun'? we have lived in bkk for 7 years and it's much more relaxing to get a taxi anywhere than drive.

Driving in Bkk is not fun at all, it is indeed fuarking annoying.

But driving is a lot of fun otherwise. Either driving a car or riding a motorbike is fun and is full of joy. But if the question occurs to someone, why is it fun then I strongly doubt he will ever get it why it is so much fun. No disrespect intended but it's either you are someone who loves it or someone who just looks at vehicles as necessity and as a result you are not going to understand why they are so much more than that.

Besides the Vios unfortunately does not fit into the car category. That is something that has been created to sell cheap so they can supply the masses that otherwise would not have the money the own a car. As a result every single piece of it is a cheap, soon to be not working piece which made the entire vehicle obsolete before it was manufactured.

I used to have a Vios, finally I just got fed up with it and fed it to the pigs.

 

What the hell these people always do in the moat?

 

probably trying to avoid a tourist as usual.

 

sometimes i feel like grabbing one of these Chinese tourist on scooters, throw them against a wall, slap them back and forth and tell them to switch lanes slowly instead of just cutting over all of a sudden.

 

the ones on bikes are worse,but the most annoying are them that just walk in the middle of the road ,and are impudent to the traffic.have to bite my tonque.jai yen yen.

I dont find them annoying but I do feel for them as being impudent can result in getting run over.

For what its worth I read an article the other day that said in the last 5 years Thai Household debt had risen 45 %.My Bank Manager recently  inferred the same trend. Thais seem to want new houses ,not second hand, and the lure of a new car seems a very powerful force. Students buy a new motor bike on a ridiculously small deposit and so it goes on. "Second hand" seems a cultural no-no here.

That's true.

Because it was an issue nonetheless. Besides I was asked a question and I answered it.

I dont know as it is not allowed to discuss such things on the forum. But it was certainly not paid by me.

Even if you were right and it was not your fault, she would have still blamed you. I remember last time I got into an accident in Thailand, the woman got out of the car after hitting my motorbike and started to educate me on how I should do this and that next time while riding so I would not get into an accident again. She was quick to make it clear that it was not her fault. I was about to put her into the trunk so she could shut up but the cops arrived. No matter what the case is, the first thing they do is make a statement: ahhh I have nothing to do with it.

 

and the cops did what?

Accepted the bribe.

 

 

Anyone has an opinion about the Ford Fiesta, 2011-2012 model?

Or does anybody own it and able to provide me with some insight? 

 

Thank you

 

 

I am in exactly the same position as you, I have just applied for finance on a Ford Fiesta 1.6S ......albeit with a 50% deposit....looks a nice car.....still in two minds whether to buy it even if finance is agreed.

 

Still considering waiting and buying 2nd hand and pay cash for around 400k-500k and save a few quid. Also, factor in what is going on in the Thai car market and makes me a bit hesitant to buy new at the moment.

 

The way I see it is that if I have the money to buy something, in this case a car then I dont hesitate and I buy it. If I need financing and I cannot pay by cash that simply means I cannot afford it so there is no way I am going to buy it as I would never buy something I cannot afford. When you do so, you become a slave of one of the financial institutions. Just look at thais. The government embraces them to get financing, get loans, get credit and end up in depts. They dont seem to be smart enough to see clearly and most of them are waist deep in depts. They drive brand new cars but half year later the bank takes it back. They have the newest iphone but they didn't pay for it because they can't even afford it. They pay monthly. And the list is endless.

In my opinion only think about spending the money that is yours. Forget the bank's money. It's not yours. Yes it is there for the taking and they let you borrow it because it's big business for them. For them, not for you. But it's just my two cents.

Whatever car you buy, I wish the best and good luck.

 

 

I understand what you are saying, but I don't know why this statement crops up so often in Thailand.

In the west the majority by far, buy their cars through finance companies or the bank.

In my opinion it comes up as often as it does in the West. It's just that the vast majority of people tend to ignore it.

Hi me and the wife move to chaing mai

In November looking for a second hand pick up space cab which are the best ones for repairs and servicing as in the uk I have all ford cars and vans

In terms of repairs and service the best brands are Toyota and Isuzu.

What the hell these people always do in the moat?

use Chiang Mai Removals.

 

they are reliable, economical, supply cartons if you need them.

Good advice.

One of the above posts that suggests dollars might sound a bit sarcastic but make no mistake. Man's got a point. All that common stuff like chocolate and perfume etc doesn't turn them on. But a few crispy bucks will do the trick. I mean don't you know thais?

How high the bribe is, always depends on the popo and your negotiation skills. In my opinion one should never complain when stopped for a good reason. Be happy to be able to pay your way out of it as it could end in a worse way as well..again depending on the copper. Of course I am not supporting corruption. Corruption is disgusting and its against my religion. But sometimes such things need to be done in the name of God.

I would avoid any legal firm with farang owners/directors and multiple offices as in the above.

They have never issued an arrest warrant for the master mind behind the Thammasat Uni massacre. But they plan to arrest some ad creator. Lol they got confused by priorities once again.

She ran out of tax money.

I dont go anywhere to get a loan. I would never do it. The moment you decide to get a loan..the person or institution who gave it, owns you. And most of the time you are not going to get rid of your owners but you will get deeper and deeper in dept.

Always these slutty boys with guns. They irritate me.
