Do you buy it as the area's secondary Walking Street?

The place is full of boys, gay men only, not for me.

Possibly secondary "Boys Town".

The sad thing is they are not catching the lawbreakers.

Outside Tony’s Gym on 3^rd Road, watch the Thais U-Turn before the checkpoints. Take a look, all No helmets, drug runners, untaxed/uninsured (it appears), un-roadworthy. If we were to take these vehicles off our streets there would be no congestion, the traffic would flow smoothly. Also, it seems every 4^th or 5^th car has defects, they need to be removed, lights broken, panels hanging off the cars, rusty, noisy, smelly.

Again, the checkpoints would be justified if they were catching the offenders, these guys are laughing at the law enforcement.

Australia !  Probably one of the worst countries for the treatment of asylum seekers and refugees.

You're obviously not educated.

Yep had to be done, the Aussies stopped the undesirables. Bloody people smugglers killing innocent people.

The problem Australia has is that everyone wants to live there (don't bother replying that you do not want to),

Its a wonderful country, glad my kids are Aussie citizens and can move there one day. It would be a horrible place to live if all the illegal boat people kept coming.

There's been a food market for over 15 years across the street from the Majestic condo on Soi Wat Boon.  Where is this new one in relation to it?  The old one has been quite good after they renovated it about 10 years ago.

same side, a few hundred metres to the beach.

Anything good or different about this market to make it worth the trek?  Good place to eat?  Same night market goods for sale or does it have some unique stands?

it's still building in size so I'd wat a while.

the best night market in that area is on Jomtien Beach Road, between soi 8 & 9

Soi Wat Boon

i guess it depends on the county, my sister emigrated to australia and her degree from a leading uk university was not recognised there. 

 

Tell me more, what was her BA?

I was speaking to a teacher many years ago from the UK,

I can’t remember his degree but it was something unusual, one that I had never heard of.

I asked why he chose that study.

His reply (it was the easiest course).......he was a very lazy person.

Remember, this is the country which used to deal with asylum seekers by towing their boats out to the open sea...

what's wrong with that? 

This is a totally different subject, you're off topic.

I don't feel its fair for you to mention this issue regarding "towing boats", its a whole other chapter and a lot more to understand.

we have a similar problem in Australia, but we Aussies would never refuse this poor soul.

where are you located?

I shall send the sisters over to pay her a visit.

Lots of Waffle here.

Can anyone advise the correct procedures for registering the birth of my new born baby in Thailand. 

Not exactly clear what you are wanting. Need more information, please be clear what you want/need to know.. If you have your surname on the Birth Certificate its a start.

You can however also wait till the child is 7 years old and get proof as legal father by the local administration's amphor office

Yes true, also can be done before the age of 7 through the Thai courts, very expensive.

I am going to be totally honest, you say you are NZ citizen and sign off as Riaz Patel. There may be a deeper issue if you are Indian. Just an observation, I’m an Aussie, wouldn’t happen back home but this is Thailand.

Has your child got your surname on the birth certificate that was issued by the hospital?

It's just you that's a bit fuzzy

The bike needs to have compulsory government insurance...nothing to do with being a foreigner..if you want better insurance coverage then "up to you" but to get the tax disc you must have the compulsory insurance.

Yes, it doesn’t matter where you go to pay your motorbike or car tax, you first need to buy CTP insurance.

I also believe that closing a  company is more expensive than creating one.

yes, much more expensive.

Nobody in his right mind would buy the company

there seems to be a lot of those type here. LOL

I have a disused (empty) company that I was using for a house which I have now put in my daughter’s name.

Has anyone had experience in selling this type of company, or what have you done with the company once you have given the property to a Thai National?

What are my options?

If I remember it’s a 2 million baht company.

I have had a few companies in the past but have only changed names when I have sold the houses so never had to get rid of the company as it went with the house sale.

It should go off with a BANG.

They have these set up not too far from the stage.

4. While I am away,  I will leave the idling/stop button switch on.

pointless

I work offshore and leave my PCX for a month at a time, just make sure the FOB is kept away.

I have a Ducati Diavel and in the past left the FOB on the bike in my garage, this drains batteries as it is always communicating. If it can't communicate it will go to sleep.

Regular I ride down to Na Jomtien, I usually visit Drifters café when my mates are in town. Today I bought a beer from the little shop just down from Drifters, there is a little dwelling supplied by city hall that has power and lighting for free. This structure has a sign in Thai which says the building is for the local fisherman. It has a large area beside the building which local boat repairers (tradesman) repair boats (using the free electricity), regularly these guys leave their rubbish everywhere, the beach is littered with crap. Today I saw the repairman throwing off cuttings from the fibreglass boat into the water. This really annoys me, these people just throwing rubbish onto the beach/into the water. Bloody animals.

Please, city hall inspectors, visit this site and arrest these horrible people.

Sorry but everyone who marries in Thailand is totally crazy. Why not stay with someone but don't marry her as you marry the whole family. Stay away!

Your above post is totally crazy, yet you say i am why?

I am legally married to the best wife any man could wish for.

Not married to her family, yes they used to come asking, sometimes stealing.

I sorted that by having an electric motor fitted to the gate, and security fencing.

Now have a dog that only understands commands in English, outlaws come to the gate, have to ask permission to get in, dog growls at them, when they try to stop the dog, shouting at her in Thai, she just continues growling.

If my wife wants to speak with them she goes over to their homes,

I reckon you've missed the point of "mahoods" comment, his comment is making reference to the original post.

if I am liable for any other debts during the marriage?

Your marriage issues are off topic, he is calling you crazy because you will inherit all your wifes debts.
