So you got the Senior discount and not beach front.....Sorry it wont be a place I would stay at.....lol

or Is that like Bond....James Bond

Spot on. You nailed it Thailand has 1 attractive place while Vietnam has 2393232 and Indonesia has 932748932749328423......

He needs some paddles for his hi-end canoe now...

Probably a helmet that was of quality construction. I have been on the scene of many a motorcycle accident with cars, trucks and big rigs where the helmets withstood the impact from the vehicle, even after being run over, sorry to say the body itself of the deceased did not hold up as well. Of course that was in the US.

I thought it was called the "Conned de Most" magazine......stayed at a few of those listed and they are not that grand. Stayed at much better places in Phuket on the beach as well as in Chiang Mai

So it was just a drag and had to be cut loose.......thats going to be a costly mistake. Silly for driving it through a flooded roadway, what did he think he was driving Speed Racer's Mach 5 with buttons on the steering wheel to make it a submarine.....

Thailand is licking it's wounds because it created so many obstacles for companies to stay, like increasing taxes, making it hard for the companies to employ workers. From the article, and this is where many companies who left Thailand have gone . "Thailand was once the top exporter of manufactures in ASEAN, but today Thailand has been replaced by Vietnam since 2017" Yet here is the true issue: "Thailand’s working-age population was the earliest to peak in ASEAN in 2017. Total population is expected to peak in 2029. This has prompted a shortage of labour in the manufacturing and service sectors. Thailand faces a shortage of around 500,000 foreign workers in manufacturing and services sectors, after more than 300,000 workers left during the pandemic. Only about 20,000 foreign workers have returned this year under bilateral contracts between Thailand and some ASEAN countries."

Restaurant, I thought you went through the 7-11 and up the back stairs, at least I did two years ago when I had to have my Divorce agreement from the US translated so the Ampur would accept it and divorce my ex-wife and I here as well. They were pricey but then it was worth it. I also had my new passport translated for my Condos Yellow book.

A government vehicle, they would have been self insured which isn't quite the same....taxpayers will be buying a new one as that one is now totaled.....

could have been another bank that took it back and auctioned off.....

This year I was able to have them change my passport number on the bottom of the licenses to my 13 digit Pink Non-Thai ID Card number. My Vehicles green book and blue book also have my Thai ID number in them instead of my passport ID as I bought them and showed my Yellow book as proof of residence and did not have to do a COR.

New exhibit is getting ready to open in the big room on the main floor and it is on Crypto Currency

Very true, but at least it would not completely collapse if you have looked at any studies. https://www.nhtsa.gov/motorcycle-safety/choose-right-motorcycle-helmet https://www.headsdontbounce.com/motorcycle-helmets/dot-certification/ The DOT test then comprises 3 parts: Impact Attenuation Test: The helmet is subjected to impacts from a flat anvil and a round anvil at 4 sites on the helmet with 2 impacts per site. There is a ‘test line’ which is around ⅓ of the way down from the top of the helmet and the testers can test any site as long as it is above this line. The standard specifies precisely the drop height, impact speed, weight of the drop assembly including the weight of the test headform. The standard further describes the composition of both anvils as well as specifications of the anvil impact face. Penetration Test: A pointed striker is dropped in a guided free-fall onto various sites on the helmet. There are two penetration strikes which must be at least 3 inches apart. The standard specifies the height for the free-fall, the precise weight of the striker, and clearly describes the specifications of the point of the striker. Retention Strap Test: This test is to ensure that the retention strap does not stretch more than 2.54cm (1 inch). The helmet is secured to a stationary test headform to ensure that it does not move during the testing. First, a 50 pound load is applied to the retention system for 30 seconds. Then, an additional 250 pound load is added for a period of 120 seconds. After each test the maximum distance is measured between the extremity of the retention strap and the uppermost point of the helmet.

Yes, at least that was my experience, as they needed to see the originals to compare them with the translations, and I had two more copies of each done so I had extras if needed for something else. The MFA took the original document, and stapled the translation onto it and then folded the upper left corner over where they then stapled it, and sealed it. They then placed a stamp and seal on the rear of the final page with the MFA authorities signature upon it. I do not remember the total price, but I did pay for the expedited service where I was taken into a side room and met a supervisor who reviewed it all and after paying a sum to that individual was told to sit out side in the seats. About an hour later I was called by my que number I had been given and my documents handed back after paying the fee they charged as well...... This was for my Daughters Thai Birth certificate translation into English, since we were moving to the US and I needed it for registering her for school.

Have you seen the before photos of the house? Damages ...thats laughable.

I had a house built in Nong Saeng, Udon Thani, the numbers on either side were 67/1 and 67/2, our house was given the house number 67/46......the next number up since all of the numbers were used.

Maybe they did not buy the one house but instead foreclosed upon it as a delinquent property as an NPL. Just think if it was in Windsor Gardens and you had Paddington as your neighbor....

Yes, my Uncle had a collision repair center at Browning Oldsmobile, and then opened up his own with my Father. Any work done was done to OEM specifications and paid for by the insurance companies. If folks did not have insurance, back in the day, they used after market parts to get the vehicle back up and on the road as well as a hell of a lot of Bondo......

Quick get the hairdryers out we can dry it easily. Thank god it was not the Immigration camera car.

Not sure they will unlimited numbers of Falangs walking in. But hey if it works thats great. I just updated my 5 year licenses on August 30th so I am good for another almost 6 years.....

Where? in the west? Every time I have ever seen people having some type of medical emergency either here in Bangkok or in a Village mooban, there were always people gathered outside. Now maybe out in the province where houses are not next to another it might be an issue, but this house was in a mooban.

In my view the family should be compensated, fairly and not overly, for the items taken that were destroyed, clothing, unless photo's showing it was new, can be compensated the same way. The contractor needs to be held responsible by the bank as they authorized his expenses. To say they have a lawsuit for damaging them personally would be a lie since apparently they did not live there as a primary residence.

Initially they tried to blame the electrician.....the owner has gone quiet and his mouthpiece attorney has nothing to say now.
