Just ignore the motorcyclist with no helmet doing the same thing

The truck driver is a professional (job description), he is in a heavy vehicle and should know better.

Your wife may have taken out a loan on (hocked) the car.

very witty but it fails, as, I don't have a wife and the truck is in my name.sorry if you have experience with this

If there is a mrsmazinkle, or maybe another gender (ladyboy friend), or good friend, housekeeper - whatever, it makes no difference if the truck is in your name they/it/he/she can still get money on it.

What do you yell out at them now?

I don't Yell, never have.

The ROCK - how cool is this guy, I totally agree with him, he says

"this generation are looking for a reason to be offended. If you are not agreeing with them then they are offended"

he calls these guys Snowflakes, I used to call them pansies, most were Homosexuals.

They haven’t been accepting money here in Pattaya for a few years now.

It was a couple of years ago, I just drove 1 metre and put my helmet on, 50 metres down the road was a cop.

Anyway I had to give the money to a taxi motorbike guy behind a wall which was given to the cop once I left.

#1 Agogo is opposite the Jomtien Complex.

 

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

Possibly secondary "Boys Town".

Dude you take my post out of context and that is totally obnoxious. 

I never said there were no go go bars in Jomtien. I was only talking about the Complex/Supertown.

All locals know about the Jomtien one exception not in that zone at all. 

No, secondary Boystown is a really stupid idea. Pattaya Boystown as you put it isn't even called that. 
You're also wrong that the zone is "only" about gay oriented stuff. Largely yes but there is plenty that isn't. Some nightlife and of course restaurants are for anyone. Also there are some hotels there that are not "gay hotels" per se. Not the mention the blind massage place in there that is not a gay business and is basically world famous. 

Nothing was taken out of context, just requoting what you said.

Go for a drive late afternoon evening, hundreds of men/boys dressed in tight clothes, wearing massage outfits, all seated facing the street, it is an eery place to be.

Again why did you mention a secondary "walking street", not a pretty girl in sight?

Truly, a Secondary "Boys Town"

Australia has been a dumping ground since British convicts arrived in the 18th century. 

 

 

The POMS were welcomed, help build the country to what we have today.

Thanks for your efforts, wish we had more.

Unfortunately, its the bottom of the barrel that we are getting these days.

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?
