Just got fined 2,000Bht for missing a 90 Day report. Here is what i got so wont happen again ; (

Hi All,

There u go ?

Second, during the search, you have the right to record the whole process as long as you do not interfere with it. With everyone carrying handheld video cameras in the form of their smartphones, this should be an easy thing to do. However, if the police find contraband, the video can be used as evidence against you.

You have obviously never faced a woman that WONT LEAVE, she is black mailing you, I tried to pay one out and she took everything!? Somehow here,  breaking up is like you insulted their mother.  Simply breaking up is SCORNING here and they WILL punish you if they can.

Sorry link to Lazada should be Lazada.co.th

Special Discounts at Lazada Specials

Enjoy!

Walmart - In my opinion Tesco Lotus (British) simply got in first, like K - Mart and Target took the market before Walmart in Australia

Costco - they have Macro which operates the same way

Apple - I would say they felt re-sellers that are called and look like Apple stores in the biggest shopping centers were all they needed for sales ...Jungceylon and Central Festival

While Alpha Computers and Phuket My Mac takes good care of servicing

Amazon.com - they have Lazada, same as Amazon but for Thailand, but better, coz 6 ways to pay including COD!

I love Lazada, they deliver so fast and their site is a joy to use.

Cheers,

URL Please ; o )

Yes, someones friend always did pretty well and there are always exceptions to the rule. The ultra rich can bypass the courts too. But this is simply a fact I have found to be true by experience. ...

"Remember too, that Thailand is dominated by a comparatively small military-industrial elite. They have all the power and most of the wealth in the country. The idea of western foreigners living in the country and achieving wealth and status through individual entrepreneurial efforts is seen as a threat to the hegemony that they have over the Thai underclass - the bulk of the population. For this reason, it is never allowed to happen."

Lol - stopped reading after the 2nd paragraph. Hope the OP feels better with that off his chest. Dumb to put you name on something. Malaysia aint much better, as he is going to find out (followed by an epic rant on Malayvisa.com no doubt ) poor muggle

Didn't write it just cut/paste from other post that signed it, which was not NS, however I 100% agree with his conclusions.

He obviously wanted to be contacted by complainers like you.

Unfortunately this is all pretty true, I have learned it by experience over the last ten years the hard way.

I am seriously thinking of leaving. I only wish I had seen and believed this ten years ago.

I tried to bring a plane here, opened a car wash, and massage place with girlfriend.

Everything below turned out to be 100% spot on. I also own a couple of condos.

(bought with 90/90 year lease and assured was 100% "bullet proof" by best lawyers.)

They too are "now being looked at by the courts and may be voided", whatever that means!

Basically they are unsaleable, yet I did my due diligence WAY above and beyond what is usually required

elsewhere.

Cheers, NS

Hi All,

What is the URL to do it online?

Thanks NS

These guys got taken for everything by a Thai girl, and could not stand to go back home broke and humiliated.

OR

They love Thailand so much they would rather kill themselves than leave ; )

In defense of John Denver, he was technically not current, but purely just bureaucracy.

His father was a flying instructor with the Airforce and John was a very experienced pilot...

On October 12, 1997, Denver was killed at the age of 53 when his experimental Rutan Long-EZ plane, aircraft registration number N555JD, crashed into Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove, California, while making a series of touch-and-go landings at the nearby Monterey Peninsula Airport. The National Transportation Safety Board Denver was the only occupant of the aircraft. As the crash badly disfigured Denver's head and body, making identification by dental records impossible, records of his fingerprints were used to confirm that the fallen pilot was indeed the singer.
A pilot with over 2,700 hours of experience, Denver had pilot license ratings for single-engine land and sea, multi-engine land, glider, and instruments. He also held a type rating for his Learjet. He had recently purchased the Long-EZ aircraft and had taken a half-hour checkout flight with the aircraft the day before the accident.
In 1996, nearly a year before the accident, the Federal Aviation Administration had learned of Denver's failure to abstain entirely from alcohol after his drunk driving arrests and had previously revoked his medical certification. Since Denver was required by the FAA to have at least a third-class medical certification to exercise the privileges of his pilot certificate, he was not legally permitted to fly at the time of the accident. However, there was no trace of alcohol or other drugs in Denver's body at autopsy.
Post-accident investigation by the NTSB showed that the leading cause of the accident was Denver's inability to execute safely a switch of fuel tanks in flight. The quantity of fuel had been depleted during the plane's transfer to Monterey and in several brief practice takeoffs and landings performed by Denver at the airport immediately prior to the final flight. His newly purchased experimental Rutan had an unusual fuel selector valve handle configuration. Intended by the plane's designer to be located between the pilot's legs, the fuel selector had instead been placed by the plane's builder behind the left shoulder of the pilot, with the fuel gauge also behind the pilot's seat and thus not visible to the person at the controls. An NTSB interview with the aircraft mechanic servicing Denver's plane revealed that he and Denver had discussed the inaccessibility of the cockpit fuel selector valve handle and its resistance to being turned.
Before the flight, Denver and the mechanic had attempted to extend the reach of the handle, using a pair of Vise-Grip pliers. However, this did not solve the problem, as the pilot could still not reach the handle while strapped into his seat. NTSB investigators' post-accident investigation showed that given the positioning of the fuel selector valves, switching the craft's fuel tanks required a pilot to turn his body 90 degrees to reach the valve. This created a natural tendency to extend one's right foot against the right rudder pedal to support oneself while turning in the seat, causing the aircraft to yaw (move off course) and pitch up.

According to the mechanic, after he had noted to Denver that the fuel sight gauges were visible only to the rear cockpit occupant, Denver asked him about the quantity of fuel shown. The mechanic told Denver that he had "less than half in the right tank and less than a quarter in the left tank". The mechanic then provided Denver with an inspection mirror so that he could look over his shoulder at the fuel sight gauges; the mirror was later recovered in the wreckage. Denver told the mechanic that he would use the autopilot inflight, if necessary, to hold the airplane level while he turned the fuel selector valve. Denver declined an offer to take on additional fuel, telling the mechanic that he would only be flying for about one hour.

The NTSB interviewed 20 witnesses of Denver's last flight; six of them had observed the plane's crash into the ocean near Point Pinos. Four of the witnesses indicated that the airplane was originally heading west; five of them observed the airplane in a steep bank, with four of those five reporting the bank was to the right (north). Twelve witnesses saw the airplane in a steep nose-down descent. Witnesses estimated the plane's height at 350 to 500 feet while heading toward the shoreline. Eight of the witnesses said that they heard a "pop" or "backfire", along with a reduction in the engine noise level just before the airplane descended into the water.
The NTSB determined that, in addition to Denver's failure to refuel the plane prior to takeoff and his subsequent loss of control while attempting to switch fuel tanks, there were several key contributing factors. Primary among these were the pilot's inadequate transition training on this type of aircraft, and the plane's builder's decision to locate the unmarked fuel selector handle in a hard-to-access position.

======

It is easy after the event to point out his mistakes. Why not be much higher when screwing around with the fuel valve?

Why not take more fuel if the valve is hard to use? etc

I would put this down to over confidence after many years of safe flying, but on that day he was impatient and lowered his well trained standards.

To Daniel and others that think 70yo movie stars should not be "dangerously" flying around, "lesson learned".
My brother has 3,000 hours in light aircraft over 27 years and I have 50 hours over two years.
He has been a crop duster (yes VERY dangerous), and built his own http://www.searey.com/
and has a flying school using a Jabiru etc. Statistically, it is more dangerous driving
to the airport than any flight you may undertake. (unless badly trained or a big risk taking type)

Aviation has never been safer, now we have GPS, Kevlar, digital cockpit (iPads etc) and ballistic parachutes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_parachute (soon to be in all Light Sport Aircraft)

Even a 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR can be put down safely

with a good pilot. Had he not clipped the tree, he would probably have walked away

with little damage to him or the plane.



I BIG part of all your training is how to do "emergency landings due to engine failure".

He simply did what his training taught him to do.

A beautician told me last night that "the owner of Surin Heights" hung himself.

She heard it from his staff, and we live in Surin.

I would not call that going "unexpectedly but peacefully", hmmmmmm!?

"he walked around the hotel floors and checked the doors and sneaked into unlocked rooms."

What/where was the last hotel you stayed at where...

1) You could leave your door unlocked? I always have to open

mine with a key.

2) A Ferang could walk around the hotel floors, checking the doors

and not stand out like well er..... "a Ferang man in Thailand checking hotel doors"?

Probably a nice guy, never stood a chance.

"Once bitten, no second try"

There must be thousands of these a month.

I wonder if Thai Govt include this as income from “tourism”? ; )

If you can survive and learn from your first brutal engagement/attack,
you may eventually win the game. But this poor (too old) guy was killed
in his first encounter.


All the best.....NS

I was on the fence about the Coup until they started cleaning up the taxi mafia.

(arrested the mayor of Karon etc)

Then when EIGHT top cops get arrested, one "top drug enforcement cop" being caught with 800,000 Yaba

pills (in back seat of car) to me, it was obvious that the Army had no choice but to step in, as the cops/politicians

were so corrupt. One top cop had BILLIONS of Baht stashed at his house!

Apparently Singapore had to do the same about 50 years ago.

I would like to hear from those that are against the Coup, about how else they could have dealt with the rampant corruption.

FROM MEMORY

We took our cat to Aus from Japan 7 years ago when she was 7yo. I did some research then.

To enter Aus, we are talking two microchips, vaccinations etc etc and THEN a month in

quarantine (we visited most days, very nice cages and people in Western Australia.)

It depends on the country, and if "foot and mouth" disease is present.

I contemplated bringing her here, but remember that you can bring pets into Thailand no problem,

but they will never be allowed back in to Aus,. No pet can

be exported to Aus from a country with "foot and mouth".

PS These Paris Hiltons and Justin Biebers that travel with a pet on their

head/shoulder/bag/assistant, often find them confiscated with lots of paperwork to fill out!

Apparently a drowned Russian tourist washing up on the beach you are supposed to be guarding, can really ruin your day!!

(I'm with the guard on this one, he may have had to clean up bodies of drowned Russians/Chinese before, after all, plenty to go around each year ; (

Really guys??

The Soapie

Some say they have been doing them since pirates used Thailand for RR,

and some are generational (mum did it too!)

A long time Thai service/custom.

Before I came here two years ago from Australia, I applied for a Retirement Visa

from the Thai Embassy in Canberra (no Thai services now in Perth).

One of the things required in the package of documents to Canberra, was

a police background check which I enclosed.

Unfortunately I forgot something else (bank records from memory) and

the package was returned to me with...

"Due to time constraints, we suggest you enter Thailand on a tourist visa and change to

a Retirement Visa once there".

I did as suggested but when applying in Phuket, less paperwork was needed and

the police check was now not required!?
