I stsrted driving when I was 16 (scooter) and have driven over a million kilometers since then in just about every road going vehicle you can think of, From a mini up to a 32 ton fire engine, and not once did I have 'brake failure'.

I live in my ex wifes condo. I bought it years ago in her name. I now live in it. No rent so no rental agreement and she lives in the UK. Can I be the House Master and sign my owm TM 30.

stupid stupid 1000 baht fine it's had to be 10000 baht and police take the driving licence for good

The problem with fines here is that they were worked out many years ago when 1,000 Baht was a lot of money. This is why you see reports of eg A 500 Baht fine or 5 years in prison.. It seems to us that there is no logic in the difference, but if you go back 20 or 30 years a 500 Baht fine would have ben enourmous.

i am sure one of the girls name is Nok. I hope this helps.

I heard one of the others was called Lek.

In yesterday' news....someone sitting on a throne told reporters that there will not be any legalised casinos.......??

Whatever...Thailand is not mature enough to have legal, commercial casinos......

But it's mature enogh to have loads of illegal casinos.

I'm deaf and normally watch DVDs because of the choice of subtitles. Does Primetime have English and Thai subtitlres?

My GF has been diagnodes with an underactive throid caused by a enlarged thyriod, She has been give a drug called Flunarizine which when I looked on the net bears no resembalance to any treatment for thyroid that I can find. Does any body have any ideas.

The last update(on their website) quotes 2340Baht plus 100 p&p. Whereas Key Visa quotes 3500 Baht (3000 plus 500 service charge). So have Imissed an update somewhere.

and another one

Police chief massive fail in Pattaya

He is responsible for the roads and policing, probably another drunk

Half the problem seems to be that most Thais dont learn to drive safely when they start riding/driving. So what chance have they got when their driving skill (555) are impaired by alcohol.

I live in a condo that has Sophon cable but the picture is crap. I also have CTH which I use most of the time but there are some things on Sophon that I want to watch (eurosport etc) but with such a poor picture its not worth it. I was wondering if anybody here uses a signal booster for Sophon and if they do where did they buy it and how much.

Thanks

I am taking Xarelto (20mg) for Atrial Fibrillation. It costs just under 6,000 Baht for a months supply (from Fascino). Does any body know of a cheaper supplier. I looked online but the cheapest suppliers dont deliver to Thailand (or at least the ones I found). By the way I'm in Pattaya.

So which place shows it?

As it's on Channel 7 I would have thought that every bar come restaurant thats open will have it on.

I would try the hardware shop on the corner of Soi Lenke and Thiird Road opposite Boxing Roo.

Well Billy how did it go?

I go there on a regular basis but havent been for about 3 weeks. I went yesterday, the place is empty (being repainted) and no information outside. The website is also finished.

Anybody have any information, has it closed, moved? What happened to the 20,000 books? Any info would be appreciated.

What bank and what account should I go for to get the best rate with good access.I dont want instant access but a reasonable one without loosing to much of the interes.

I was under the impression that originally the road was going to be a Toll Road (motorway) so motorbikes were forbidden. After it was finished it was realised that a Toll Road there would not work so the idea was scrapped. The signs were already in place and nobody has ever bothered to take them down. Coming from Pattaya Nua to the 7 also has a sign forbidding mtorbikes and this cant have anything to to do with a bridge or a sharp turn.

I checked Lazada but their batteries are 2950 Baht. I found another site at 1390 baht but most of it was in Thai so that was out. One site I did find at 690 Baht but the shipping time was between 15 and 60 days (free shipping). So I thought if I could find it here it would be easier as long as its in the right price range.

Where should I go in Pattaya to buy an Acer Aspire 4315 Battery?

Whats the best time to go to Land Transport Office for license renewal without going first thing in the morning. It takes me a couple of hours in the morning to come to so arriving there at 8.30 or before is out of the question.

Next week I will be going to the LTD (Pattaya) to renew both my 5 year licenses. What I need to know is do I need 2 Residence Certificates or just one and a photo copy..

I cant remember what I did 5 years ago.

Are there any updates on the letter requirement at Jomtein Immigration?

I have had only one SIM card in 8 years. I believe it was registered when I bought it. Does that sound about right,

Is there anywhere in Phetchibun that has the Spurs/ Arsenal match this weekend. It doesnt matter what sort of restaurant,bar or whatever at long as its got the match.

What currancy should I use ( I am not planning to go to Camboda proper) and what are the minimum bets allowed.
