Vacuum

Perhaps stupidity should be added in as factor number four. Driving on a road they had never seen before, in the dark, with an unfamiliar right-hand drive vehicle? Not to mention no knowledge of Thai driving habits? A disaster waiting to happen.

How come you know all this? Maybe the driver visit Thailand regularly and is familiar with Thai driving habits and this route?

Interesting to know how thry happen to have the chiefs number........and any pics of these 2 chics to see what they might have been up to ?

Trekking?

Which makes the 3000 baht fee for the retirement visa seem a tad expensive, especially if all the paperwork is in order.

Does this 3000 baht fee include the cost of the extension?

She's right.

do I need a special umbrella?

A regular tin foil hat will do.

I'd wait until it the royal decree is actually published.

I wonder about people who started their overstay before March 2016.

My friend was at immigration here in Pattaya yesterday. He had to sign a form indicating he understood these new rules. Seems they are instituting this already????

I think it was the same form they have been getting people to sign since May of last year.

I have had to sign it for 2 extension now.

Is this notification in English or Thai?

I think it's all in Thai.

Very few farangs can probably understand what they are signing.

English.

Just like that.......

RIP the innocent, unfortunate man.

Really! 7 Valium and he would be lucky to be standing.

He probably bought them on the street...

Wow this is fantastic police work..... Wonder why they could not track down and arrest Thaksin the same way..... buddies I suppose!!!!

was detained in Phnom Penh after handing himself in

For almost 20 years I have used pirated Windows only, because I considered it idiotic to pay a lot of money for something you could get for free, and never had any major problems.

Only less than 2 weeks ago i decided to go legal, because at the price of the license keys currently I couldn't justify a pirated version anymore, and I have already spent more time trying to get it to work as in all those 20 years of pirate versions.

Guess what my next step will be.

I have no idea why you are pissing about with Windows 7 anyway, but as has been said, there have been lots of updates and you just have to bite the bullet.

Start it updating and go and have a drink.

Or better still just update to Windows 10.

Did you notice the screen shot I posted to show that it doesn't download a single Kb from any update?

I had the same problems yesterday. Installed Win7 and tried to download upgrades, nothing happened.

So I tried agin this morning , but same result. Then I tried to download only one upgrade, waited ten minutes and it was still 0% downloaded. Waited longer, maybe 1 hour and presto! The upgrade had finnished downloading.

So I marked the rest of the ugrades and went to the city for some shopping a few hours, came back home and checked the status. All updates were downloaded.

Just start the updating and leave it overnight, I'm sure by morning it will be done.

bars at my drinking holes are empty now with bar owners asking where are the customers, they have never know it so quiet for number of years.and if these utterly stupid ideas are put into operation, who knows what the future holds.

Nothing wrong with drinking alone.

We have a Kashiwa, no problems so far (4 years).

More good news,

Can we just cancel Fun once and for all in Pattaya.

Noisy fireworks - fun?

Maybe we could be charged

........for telling the truth?

More expats in Bangkok actually have a life?

Life as in going to work every day........

Just before midnight ??

Nightshift...? He said he works in Bangkok.

I'm beginning to understand people with a very long overstay.........

I went to see where Immigration was

Used the free shuttle from the Impress Hotel

Quite a few people inside at 1 45

Also many outside there was a few people complaining also

1 was told to go to Gt next door

There was a sign for 90 day allfull it said it bad English at the outside desk

Went down to G4 there was about 10 to 15 people there

Only 1 person working in the office

Will try next month after Kings birthday Holiday to see what happens

For my first 90 day report

You could do yourself and all of us a favour by using the post office to do the report.

Until CM Immigration discontinued their on-line appointment service, things were ok. Now, not so.

Moral of story: When ladyboy bends over to adjust shoe, run away!

They ask if you have a member card when you are at the checkout, say no and they enter a number which looks suspiciously like 99999. We've never had a problem.

Any particular reason for not joining it if you have used it for a long time and plan on continuing using it.

Losing his John Doe identity?

They shouldn't be there in the first place (the tigers).

Like papa said, plus also don't put Diesel or LPG

Gasohol 91 is fine for your scooter. Ask your friend why your scooter would need Gasoline 95.

Now big bikes, that's a different thing.

How come, because they are big?

Sounds fair enough to me,I would also make a complaint about the Toyota garage that tried to double charge

...........and maybe give the name of the garage so we can avoid getting ripped off by them.

Nothing to do with the rain or your car skidding, but why were you overtaking without knowing what was in front of the car in front of you?
