  1. My ATV came with a warning not to drive it on paved roads... especially not at high speeds.
  2. Could this be an AI generated story ...This would seem impossible without their being some accountability on the Thai side....or at least denials...
  3. What the xxxx misleading advertising and information is the newest Olympic sport
  4. I think the problem is related to the fare you paid......or maybe to make it clearer...you get what you pay for.
  5. Boy howdy that's some red meat for magats
  6. You have to admire the USA ,.They have managed to become the richest country in the world with the majority of richest individuals in the world living and doing business in the US.And they have done that while being ripped off by everybody including there two closest trading partners. USA USA
  7. Consult a customs broker...and then use them if what they tell you they can do, and how much it will cost, satisfies you . They will advise on Docs needed and protocols to be followed.
  8. I ran seasonal businesses in Canada for 50 years...food service and retail...hiring hundreds of young people over the years. Minimum wage job often a first job... I have also hired people in Thailand and other countries....people are people...the differences in my experience not that great...some hopeless some marvelous and the majority in between.
  9. Wonder if it applies to all types of visas and extensions if stay...we will still need re entry permits for Non O.
  10. 7 c this morning... Coldest has been 5c
  11. It's the misinformation coming from the internet...I'm not sure if it's just the organic growth of negativity caused by algorithms and AI searching for more clicks or a more sinister plot to destroy society ...to whose benefit I don't know. But COVID and the internet have changed how people behave towards each other .
  12. I've been a frequent visitor to India since the early 1970's. Anyone from India or familiar with India and Indian men would not be surprised or outraged at this. Total disregard for the effect of their behavior on the people around them It's a normal behaviour for a huge segment of the male population there . Me me me.
  13. I suspect that forcing you to leave the country cuz you owe taxes is not going to be seen as win win for anyone.
  14. You mean like not making the the secret service etc stay in Trumps overpriced hotels.Who can believe anything he says.
  15. I agree with General Chaos ,I've personal known of more than one case where the courts found that the although the farang partner could of course not have ownership of property when things went south he was entitled to be compensated under the ,50/50 rule and when evidence showed that all or most of the money came from the farang partner more that was taken into consideration as well.
  16. Yeah I tried beer chang and pizza to cheer me up immediately after a tooth extraction..Almost chewed my lip off cause it was still numb and three days later got the dreaded " dry socket"..So Chang obviously isn't the right beer .If that helps.
  17. I saw some type of basking shark when sailing of the west coast of Thailand some years ago.Huge bugger.
  18. I suspect it will work like this no limits on number of times but when its office you are using to live in Thailand full time it will be highly recommended you get a "O" visa or another 12 month visa that describes your stay more accurately.
  19. I have a retirement visa and my wife a dependent visa .We hired a lawyer for the initial visa during covid and then have done it ourselves since.In Chiang Mai it has been a pleasant and easy experience..We speak a bit of Thai and live in a fairly remote part of Chiang mai province so we stay a night in a hotel and the immigration people have actually sped the process up so we could get home in time to feed the dogs and not drive in the dark .
  20. Good idea ,all the cannabis shops can change to being sex toy retailers and brothels...and then in two years they can change the law and the shops can be casinos with slot machines
  21. It does make sense to address the ability of foreign buyers to work and contribute to the country they can buy property and live in.Otherwise you will end up with a lot of old retirees and people who are willing to bend or break the law to earn a living here .I realize there are legitimate ways to work and invest here but none of them give any long-term confidence or the ability to feel safe .I don't believe even permanent residency gives you and automatic right to work or own land or own more than 49% of a business.Without changes to those policies foreigners are not encouraged to buy. I also think it would improve the quality of applicants.
  22. Amazing how delicious too much salt, fat and sugar tastes
  23. I have ford F 250 in Canada ,heavy 7.3 litre diesel.Run it with an equally heavy slide in camper and have added leaf springs 75 to 85psi.Mitsubishi ,4 door triton in Thailand 32 to 35 psi.Trucks are completely different animals wight wise
