  1. Not worth the price. Buy yourself a 1/2Kg of Lao brick for the same money, it will last you a year.
  2. Only a fool thinks journalists and the media broadcast/publish the truth. I post this after working 20 years in the business, and only broadcasting what the Brit security forces authorised.
  3. I think they moved because of rent increases. Plenty of them still around in Chiang Mai and around the outskirts. Students couldn't afford the prices there anymore. Went to 'Auf der Au Garden' last week, all you can eat German buffet for 220bht. It was very busy an an amazing choice of food, price includes breads, cakes, tea and coffee. Also went to 'RajDarBar Indian restaurant' 220bht for a Masala curry and plain Naan. Too many places to choose from!
  4. Baked beans have always been overpriced in Thailand.
  5. Truck, 50% for you, 50% for her rellies. Your m/c 50% for her, 50% for your rellies (if she admits you have any).
  6. Natwest give me a 10,000 pound free overdraft.
  7. Tried to get them to send a new debit car to Thailand. Online and phone app both require a debit card+card reader to access. Result = frozen account.
  8. So only 50% for you then. Her children/parents/siblings get the other 50%.
  9. You get 50%. But anything that was purchased after marriage you already own 50% of that, so 75% of the home would be yours, etc.
  10. Less bars, less Chinese, more coffee and cannabis shops, more closed and shuttered business, but apart from that pretty much the same as 2016.
  11. Wise like pensions, and are happy to accept monthly deposits. Alternatively don't tell anyone you moved outside the UK and use your current address. They don't check you still live there even if the new homeowners tell them.
  12. Carnival Row season 2 ep 1 & 2 out. Two fairies fall in love in a society that doesn't approve. Orlando Bloom is one of the fairies. Sadly not as good as season 1.
  13. Thai law clearly states minors are not allowed into debt. So the answer to the OP appears to be NO.
  14. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g293915-c133830/Thailand:Driving.License.Requirements.html Section 42-2 MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT (Thai Law) Section 42 Anyone who wishes to drive a motor vehicle on public roads must possess an appropriate driver licence. The driver must carry the driver licence and a photocopy of the registration book and show them to competent officers upon request. This does not apply to those who are learning to drive a motor vehicle according to the provision of Section 57. If the driver is an alien who doesn't have an immigrant visa, he may drive a motor vehicle with a driver licence specified in the Section 42-2. In such a case, he must carry documents specified by the treaty between the Thai government and the government which issued such driver licence, and show them to competent officers upon request. Section 42-2 In case there is a treaty between the Thai government and a foreign government regarding mutual acceptance of driver licence, an alien who does not have an immigrant visa may drive a motor vehicle with a driver licence issued by such a foreign government, or an automobile association authorised by such a foreign government. Once you obtain a non-immigrant visa or establish you are a resident (such as enrolling kids in school, buy a car etc,) and are no longer a toursit, you need a Thai drivers licence as your national license and international driving permit is only legally accepted if you are a tourist. Several insurance companies have fine print stating that the driver should hold a valid Thai driving licence to be fully covered after a certain amount of time in Thailand. And this is the 1949 UN treaty ratified by Thailand in 1962, and the UK in 1957 (and Norway in 1957) Sadly Germany did not participate in this treaty so they will need a Thai driving license, as their German DL or German issued IDP is not valid in Thailand. https://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetailsV.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XI-B-1&chapter=11&Temp=mtdsg5&clang=_en
  15. Can't be that urgent as poster @Ralf001 just claimed it took them 3hrs to get him to the operating table.
  16. IDP is required in Thailand for tourists on short-term stays without m/c licences that are 1. in English or 2. Don't clearly state class of vehicle permitted to ride. They are also required by corrupt Thai police extorting foreigners.
  17. Sounds to me like the doctor was incompetent. Wonder why the parents took him to a private hospital, as Thai kids are treated free of charge in any government hospital (no need to be registered at that particular hospital unlike adults).
  18. Same thing happened to my son when he was 5yo. Diagnosed at a government hospital as needing emergency appendectomy. I didn't agree, pain was in the wrong place for appendix, and took him to another government hospital who diagnosed him with constipation. Treatment was a squirt of something in the bum to loosen it all up. Cured in 10 minutes. No forms or signatures required from me at any time (mom wasn't around). Some Thai doctors aren't all that good.
  19. Ed ignored the symptoms, nobody to blame but himself. In tropical countries infected cuts and insect bites are really common, and if you leave them untreated, you will be sorry.
