he had fainted and suffered seizure, which he received first aid for.

And no attempt to seek  actual medical care?

 

Maybe he declined hospital treatment!

On the bright side, he won't have to worry about having 800k in the bank for his retirement visa.

Yep, but they'll probably let the sick ole ba..std out to do his 90 day clock in, very important that!

Never heard of a shy turtle, Thailand must have a turtle whisperer (thought that you were supposed to leave them alone when hatching....stupid fallang).

Why not, uncle Tuu can talk to frogs as he has shown in the past, a turtle would be a breeze to him!

Maybe he will decide to participate if he is allowed to have a loaded pistol in plain view on his rostrum plus a stun gun around his hip.

And don't forget his blanket amnesty, plus art.44 at his disposal anytime needed, which will prevent his fragile ego being scrutinised (upset/angry) by any these pesky underlings!

I ran one of these over once on a back road behind Maya. It was dark and I was going too fast and didn’t see it until the last second. I thought it was a fallen tree and braces for impact, but instead hit it and sort of squished over it and the bump wasn’t that bad.

 

Immediately I stopped and realized it was a huge snake, then it slithered off. It was big enough to easily kill a human. Told the nearby home owners there the next day and they all laughed about it. 

Reminds me of signs i used to see in Australia mid 60s if you see a snake on the road/track slow down go over it and check in rearview mirror to make sure it is still there, apparently they can roll and flick up into the car undercarriage and finish up in the boot of the car, ready to give you a nice surprise next time you open your boot!

Funny how there is never any talk about impounding their bikes, as was the case of the two idiot foreigners doing wheelies a couple of days ago, plus fines and maybe jail time!

Penny would have been a more obvious name change. Have to agree the name Pinit was a bit awkward though, as it's how most Thais would pronounce "penis". 

You mean as in Prick?

ok. I only carry my passport when I travel within Thailand. In other words, I am spending the night away from home.

 

I have a copy of my passport in my scooter and photos on phone. Thailand drivers license and motorcycle license with me all the time. 

and 40 condoms, 20 hits of Viagra, cut in half of course, 10 gold coins, a .45 automatic and a bar of chocolate. 

 

and in five years never asked except at hotels. and my drivers license was OK except in big Bangkok hotels and resorts. 

 

Yes i carry the same plus i fitted an air-bag under the seat slightest knock it fires you straight up and out of harms way, have'nt really tried it out yet though!????

Think about it.....They grew up sitting in the floor in school & at home....They go to the temple, they sit in the floor for the service then eat clustered around in groups sitting on the floor.....They were raised that way.....

My wife is uni educated, worked in management for a large international corporation for 17 years.....We travel to the states a few months a year & never a miss cue.....

We have a nice formal dining room that has a nice teak table we bought, seats 12 = never used.....

On weekends, we (4) usually eat a breakfast together at the kitchen table - but - every night they have dinner in front of the TV watching some inane Thai program.....

There are 4 easy chairs & a coffee table in that room; but they move the coffee table out of the way, plop down on the floor in the middle of the easy chairs with their food & dishes just as happy as can be.....

 

I don't think there anything unusual about sitting on the floor to eat, my wife and her family are middle class with a couple of doctors, lawyer and teachers, here in Sattahip all preferably as stated above will sit on the floor in a circle given the chance,and most are well travelled to western countries, not so the men i might add!

I'm not struggling but don't have 400,000 in a Thai bank account at the moment. I will when the seasoning's due. Perhaps you should have said "Doesn't have 400,000 baht equivalent in accounts here and abroad" or something similar. So many "clever dicky" posts which are no use to anyone.

Mind you he did'nt follow it up with you should go home, which is the norm for these type of posters!

And naturally being the NHS it will need a raft of high paid managers to oversee the robots, same as in all other areas of the NHS! 

If Uncle Tuu had any balls he would just fire a round of art.44 at this, and override all the bs. and ship him back to OZ, i'm pretty sure the Thais would admire him for that (or at least i think they would)

No, just 'avin a giraffe.

With all due respect avin a "giraffe" is far too obvious and is not London rhyming slang, it's always two words then they would use the word that does'nt rhyme such as "Butchers Hook" ie take a butchers (look) at this, "Barnet Fair" Barnet (hair) etc. avin a laugh is Bubble as in Bubble bath, Thief as in this case is a "Tea Leaf" or"a Tea" all learned from my old East End mum years ago!

OK Lesson over as you were!

yellow book was very easy, just had to fill out the forms provided and show proof of where I lived, my wife was the proof, Just make sure you have several months left on your visa, there was something my wife  said about being here over 5 years as well but it saves having to get a coa and has a few other benefits for me as well

 

I don't think the 5 years is relevant, i got mine about two years ago, and am only on my fifth extension on March 2nd this year, this is in Sattahip so might vary elsewhere!

I have one of those as well.  It's a reciprocal agreement between India & the US, as Indians are issued USA tourist visas for 10 years.  Of course, Thais also get 10 year USA tourist visas, but I suppose it is far too logical and straightforward for the powers that be in Thailand to make it reciprocal for Americans.

But it's the Thai way of keeping you in your place as a non-immigrant, Good Lord man are you, a lowly fallang, expecting a Visa ie. upgrading your status, no chance! (sarc.before Chomper get's confused again)
