  1. You are asking a question that you know is impossible to answer. However I would like to support the opinion that Thailand has a very good road infrastructure for a progressive country. Problems are not the roads but driver education.
  2. Jerry built roof if your only defense is a tiled roof. One needs a secondary roof that is rare in Thailand and the uk
  3. The gun ho driver may have a lot of target practice if he was driving in the UK . British drivers are specialists at hogging the right hand lane . They seem to think if they are doing 70 mph there is no reason to change into the slower lane .
  4. I consider the term self insured means that they are uninsured but have a substantial amount of money in savings to cater for any medical bills in the future .
  5. 200 a day ? You appear out of touch with reality .
  6. Nothing to do with management unable and unwilling to cooperate with trade unions ?
  7. He will be sacked again after the election as he will of outgrown his use .
  8. We will be shown how the Thai judge will respond in good time . In previous cases the so called gift line has not been successful.
  9. I would agree with your assumption, what brain capacity was available before the accident is questionable
  10. Interesting case you have mentioned . Thank you Seems difficult to come up with a single agency , immigration officer case concerning help with the financial requirements. One post was mentioning cases of dodgy agencies using false stamps in passports. But not getting to the real question of convicting a agency, immigration deal on the financial requirements for a genuine visa stamp
  11. 100 million divided by 142 is 704 thousand baht per person per month . Who is having the joke. They are big fish not your average foreigner using a agent. Then you mention a case of foreigners with over stay . That is not anything to do with a foreigner obtaining a years extension through a agent . Please send a case where a foreigner has been convicted of using a agent to get a 12 month extension. As I said , I have searched and found nothing.
  12. It is possible the car had no rear lights . The car is black as well .
  13. Posts like yours waste peoples time . Just the same rhetoric from you hoping to see a 100,000 expats expelled from the Thai economy for some dreamt up notion .
  14. A law can become unenforceable by a long habit of non enforcement or lapse of time . The legal word is desuetude that would cover the fact that the immigration police have not convicted anyone in at least 20 years at least . You mentioned that you seem to remember a case where a immigration officer was convicted . I have searched and unable to find the case . Perhaps you can help find it.
  15. If there has been no conversation for fixing as you call it how can it be corrupt ? The Thai immigration has set a precedent for allowing the practice to continue for decades . If I am stupid or not has nothing to do with the facts.
  16. If you paid a immigration officer a fee directly the applicant is in a grey area Pay an agent then there is no comeback for any wrong doing . If there is any wrong doing it would be between the agent and immigration , not the applicant . I have not heard of a prosecution of a agent or immigration officer , have you ?
  17. What you know I have no idea and have no wish to comment. Using a agent is not corruption.
  18. Can't afford? There could be many reasons why a visa applicant will use the service of a agency. The service fee is for the agency's professional services. How on earth do you distort the fee as being a bribe ? The fee is a transaction between the applicant and the agency therefore there is no wrong doing by the visa applicant . Have you any evidence of a visa applicant being successfully prosecuted for bribery in Thailand ? If the applicant has no money left after paying the agreed sum then that is there choice and certainly has no bearing on anyone else including you.
  19. Don't have money? They must have money to live here and pay the agent fees . No agents will make it easier ? I doubt that Sir.
  20. Likely to cause is your words , can cause is more the phrase I have used . If you are not interested in following rules in a gas station. Ecause you can't find any examples on the internet god help you and all around you.
  21. You advised me to send you a link to verify of any explosions from filling a fuel tank . Any way Mr Lou , I found a excellent article on the subject in the Washington post titled people that fuel up with engine running debate . Take a look and get educated. Have a good night sir
  22. Not good for the image of foreigners living in Thailand ? There would be less money circulating in the Thai economy for a start if your idea of what is legal should be eradicated. Easier to get your 12 month extension ? I doubt that very much.
