Lovely says I so off I toodle to reap my millions. Nope, was told only Thai leople can redeem lottery. Nuf said.

"Pausing" road tax
I heard a rumor.... Just throwing this out there in case anyone has any info. Have a friend whose husband passed and his bike gives her fond memories and I had heard that it is possible to pause the road tax/green book so it does not need to go for inspection every year as it never sees the black of a road enymore and prevent the green book from expiring. Cheers in advance troops.

What is the current 2025 Cost of a Cremation in Thailand?
I can confirm that the basic fee is in the region of 30,000. That is no frills basic cremation. Anything else is above and beyond but the base fee covers all of the necessities right up to ashes collection by next of kin/friend.

Australian Teen Dies in Koh Samui Motorbike Collision
I was just out and about on Samui today in my truck and could only shake my head at the wanna-be racer boys and the obvious first timers. The statistic numbers dont surprise me at all. Most Thai riders have been on scoots since they were in diapers so they get it for the most part, sadly cant say the same for visitors. One genius was riding slowly in the middle of the lane and when I gave him a polite "excuse me" toot on the horn he flipped me the bird, lad was lucky it wasnt a short fused local he flipped off.

Pls Recommend Skin Cancer Clinic...Thanks!!
No, it is a form of cancer. Basal, squamous and melanoma. If unchecked it gets nasty.

Pls Recommend Skin Cancer Clinic...Thanks!!
Bumrungrad in Bkk has an excellent dermatology center, I speak from experience. Not cheap but very good. I have had numerous basal cell carcanomas excised so consider myself a fair expert. Liquid nitrogen is only effective for keratosis, pre-cancerous lesions. Surgery is required to confirm entire excision of affected tissue. Most of the Bangkok Hospital chain have dermatology units, I use the Bangkok Samui for my events. Please feel free to pm me if I can be of any help. Good luck!

What's Your Top Tip for Maintaining a Motorbike in Thailand's Humid Climate?
Wax. It is that simple. A good quality wax, I use Bilt Hamber double speed wax on the whole bike with the exception of hot bits. So rims, chrome and paint all get some love.

Phuket's Tourism Boom Outstrips Infrastructure, Raises Environmental Concerns
Haha...try Samui! Garbage incinerator broken since it was installed 15 years ago, no water...and I mean no water! Rampant building everywhere with no thought to how all these new high end villas will affect the overtaxed infrastructure. It is a gong show here right now.

Airline resident card
I am done with this stupidity.

Airline resident card
Oxford dictionary definition of monopoly. The exclusive possession or control of or trade in a commodity or service.

Airline resident card
Ok, going to try to do this without being sued. I have been trying for the last month to get an explanation regarding the tightening of the resident card for discounted fares. It has been....frustrating to say the least. Basically if you are not married to a Thai or the owner of a company (which is illegal if you are using nominee share holders) you cannot get a card. I operate under a 30 year lease in our property in my Thai partners name which is not good enough apparently. I guess it is just another case of a conglomerate monopoly doing as they wish.
