    Ummm, no I don't think so ?  Funny comment from the Thai Customs official  I spoke with on phone.  His English was very broken, and when I was trying to plead my case for my other stuff to be sent to me, he said something like, "Well you can come and discuss with Custom "police" but then they might arrest you"  He said it in a sort of humorous way, but I could see something like that actually happening, ya know?  Better to let it go, and just call it a learning experience to not do something so stupid in the future.

     

    fair enough, but sadly i dont believe the destruction story at all unless the shipment was comprised of overripe cheese or something equally unappealing or unsaleable.

    In fact, You're right! They called me back and said the entire consignment is being destroyed!  Yeah, right; Some Customs official is having Christmas early. That s*cks!  If you get something confiscated in the airport, they don't take your luggage!  Oh well. live and learn, I guess.

    tell them you want to witness the destruction .

    Correct. 

    Race, creed or colour have no impact whatsoever. 

    Shifty little thieving shits will treat everyone equal. 

    As easy targets..

    If he wants to be a student fine.

    If he wants to be a car dealer, fine too.

    But live up to your moral obligations.

    And don't rip people off.

    who has he ripped off?

    kind of lacking this info in our original post.

    your freind get his car correctly registered or what?

    This is what brought it to light.

    He buys cars.. So I have now found out.

     

    Doesn't do the transfer to his name.

    Just holds onto the papers. And blue book. 

     

    When he sells them, it's a transfer from the person who he bought from. Not him.

     

    Colleague bought a car from him.

    He took them to DLT Pattaya and straight to an agent.

    One he has used more than ten times she tells my partner in Thai. 

     

    It was in general discussion that he mentioned the ED visa and his Thai lady. 

     

    Shify little shit..

     

    it would seem you are as nosy as he is shifty, especially if your colleague got what he paid for properly registered at a decent price.

     

    id suggest you pull your head in and mind your own business.

    Has anyone noticed how closely the Thai paper notes colors resemble MonopolyTM  (the game) money (the twenty, fifty and 100 anyway)? Anyone notice how often we treat it as if Thai paper notes were money from the game and spend it frivolously?

    certainly no more so than the philipine peso, or, the euro for that matter

    It is really a bit hard to feel 1/4" (6mm) longer for most of us I suspect - and blue/green look very much the same under low light.  Then they had the plastic version that nobody wanted to touch.  

    no they do not look similar, and the size is appreciably smaller.

     

    And i cant say i have noticed a dearth of either.

    In fact a survey of the thai cash i have on hand,  includes 2 500 notes and 3 50's

    Im still not sure if he is real or kind of just <deleted> with us, but I also so, we do not know what kind of mental state some is when they post on open forums like this. It is a fine line sometimes being helpfull and being a total ass. If you understand what I mean. 

    i too suspect that it is a very well put together fabrication intended to elicit the specific response it has and have withdrawn form engaging the issue, beyond my response to you.

    if that is indeed the case, well done op, if not, then ... sigh.

     

    either way, anyone truly reaching out for help here may be beyond help, and nothing in the the OPs post indicates distress, but rather immaturity and obsession.

    he seems more concerned in clearing up the 13/2 month time frame on his sexual  activity.

    im out, enjoy the show.

    You can pay all expenses to be able to live for roughly 3 days in BKK with 1000B if you live "simple" but still are lazy to cook.....

     

    Breakfast: 3 Grilled pork sticks (5B each) + 1 sticky rice (5B) = 20B
    Lunch: Rice topped with omelet = 20B
    Dinner: Rice topped with 2 dishes = 35B, Alternative: Anything at a cheap taamsang (cooked to order) place = 35B
    Thai style dessert: 15B average a day
    Thai style snacks: 25B average a day
    Local white rice spirits (35%-40%): 70B, will usually last 2 to 4 days if you drink everyday = 25B average per day
    Soda water to drink with your spirits: 8B per bottle, Average 4 bottles for 1 day if also mixed with water = 32B per day
    Something to eat while drunk: 30B per day
    Commuting to your work and back home by bus: 20B per day
    Rent: You can rent a place that's fairly livable for about 1500B per month (yes you do lol, even in central Bangkok), so about 50B per day
    Utilities: If you don't use the aircon your utility will be around 500 per month, which is 15B average per day

    Mobile Internet: 99B per week, so 15B per day average

     

    Adding everything up together is 302B per day, which is enough for 3 days = 906B, and even gives you 94B buffer for those 3 days. You could use that to do something fun like seeing a movie or taking a date for dinner at a cheap Som Tam stand haha :)

     

    But.... you could also go to Red Sky @ Central World and spend 1000 it on an appetizer 55555

    I like how you add cheap alcohol as one of those dai!y necessities.

     

    Personally if i cant afford something decent i abstain.

  9. be prepared to wait a minimum of 45 days for clearance.

     

    this was my regular experience from cheques provided from us for consultancy work, albeit around 7 years ago. 

    expect a clearance fee as well.

    Bangkok banks website says be prepared to wait several weeks.
