  1. You've not seen them walking in with a bottle of Black label?
  2. It's commonplace for Thais to take their own booze into places, abd I've also taken food into a bar. As long as you're spending money there, why would anyone worry? If anyone in a bar told me I couldn't bring in food, I'd just walk to the next bar.
  3. Probably because they're not cost effective.
  4. Agree, Cavendish bananas have disappeared from the Chiang Mai area for around the past two months. They are the only banana I will eat. Ps. I'm in San Sai, and none in the local markets here.
  5. Slightly off topic, I used to go on holiday regularly with a gay pal from work. One year we went ski-ing at Lake Tahoe, flight and car hire into San Francisco. While in SF he wanted me to go with him to a gay club, I said 'as long as we do a nude female show first'. He wouldn't go, so we didn't, another night sitting on pier 39 eating clam chowder. I enjoyed SF (parking was terrible), and Lake Tahoe.
  6. As a typical western tourist, I never expected to have sex on holiday, so it didn't bother me.
  7. Nobody insists you participate in the community pub. Alternatively make up any nonsense you like, just like everyone else does.
  8. Why will you be filling out a tax return next year? Have you started working in Thailand?
  9. As far as I know, All Thai hospitals are required by law to treat life threatening injuries. Which has certainly been my experience in the past. At some point they will ask for payment, usually after a few days in hospital or when you want to leave.
  10. When I was a victim of a hit and run driver last October, the ambulance took me straight to my local government hospital. 6 broken ribs, broken collar bone, collapsed lung, many 'crush' injuries, total cost 13kbht over 4 months (including 1 month of physio), covered by my gov min m/c insurance.
  11. Police report will allow him to claim 30kbht back from his government minimum m/c insurance. He should have gone to a government hospital where his m/c insurance would have covered his entire bill.
  12. Ask the court ..... I'm still waiting.
  13. It's just you.
  14. Me too, If you're not a Brit, I don't want to speak to you!
  15. I think I'd be hiring mercenaries! As for the 'staged' theories, I don't think I'd pay anyone to just nick me in the ear, one sudden gust of wind and ........ Not to mention the people in the crowd being shot.
  16. Same from my ex in the UK. But in the past 15 years, she only managed a few random shags, and ended up filling the house with cats.
  17. I've always found playing stupid to be effective with Thai (and Brit) authorities. I managed to not complete a TM30 for about 5 years, and I'm gonna play the same game with tax. And the fine is only 2kbht for not filling a Thai tax form. It's not as if the Thai authorities don't change their minds!
  18. I was under the impression the UK nukes can't be fired without the USA's permission (and fire code). Am I wrong?
  19. Not being able to read Thai, not being a member of any expat forums, and not having contact with any other foreigners/news/etc ....... I'm waiting for the authorities to contact me, in English. Else I won't know I'm required (or not) to fill in any forms (in English) or to pay any income tax in Thailand. Ignorance is bliss!
  20. I bet he could find the cat if he was held in jail until it was returned.
  21. Or immigration (TM30).
  22. It's great for cycling and hiking .......... while out earlier on by bicycle this morning .....
  23. I have 2 boxes of Full Moon dark wine coolers ....... just in case!
  24. Just totalled 800km cycling on the eMTB this morning, passed a friendly cow and a crossbow fisherman.
