    Never had a problem using SCB, Lioyds and Barclays debit cards at Lotus stores. When you say Bangkok card I assume that means Bangkok Bank. If so, maybe worth having a word with them to identify the problem.

    This is beginning to look ominous. I'm beginning to wonder if the UK and other western countries should have stayed out of this. Ukraine has a poor record for corruption, and for the killing of many Russian speakers with Ukrainian citizenship.

    Odd behaviour. On the face of it selfish not to move when the lights changed. What was he actually trying to do ?

    .....attempted murder by the sound of it.

    The so-called war on drugs has not achieved anything anywhere. A total waste of time and money. Control through licensing is the way to go. It won't be perfect, just consider how many people die from drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes, but it would be a darn sight better than the current shambles.

    Killing and eating animals is disgusting.

    Welby sounds like the Shell drone he once was, that is uninspiring and not very bright.

    So what ?

    Whatever their motives these are two very brave young people. As in 1973 and 1976 it goes to show that some Thais have both moral and physical courage.

    So what ?

    No offence, or at worst a minor breach, committed. Political chicanery clearly involved.

    Jibberish indeed. Doesn't make sense. This guy needs to understand that many middle and upper class Thais are very well off indeed. They certainly won't welcome foreigners into their family who are anything other than equally or, better still, more wealthy than they are.

    It sounds a bit late to be giving any advice. The guy appears to have spent a lot of money already. Many bar girls are/have been good wives to their foreign husbands, some have not. Hope it works out for them.

    Generally speaking I agree. My experience comes mainly from negotiating/ re-negotiating oil and gas production sharing agreements, and oil derivatives trading agreements. Relatively easy with goodwill on all sides, hard-edged if one party is virtually forced to the negotiating table. In the case of the UK and the EU the UK is in a bind due to the appalling ineptitude of it's negotiators, and successive Tory governments.

    Nothing 'touchy-feely', as you put it, about agreements of all kinds being amended, all over the world. Happens all the time. Been involved in many myself. Statement of fact.
  16. Thingamabob
    Any agreement, of any kind whatsoever, can be amended if goodwill exists between the participants.

    I cannot make recommendations regarding specific locations, service providers etc. but, generally, the elderly are respected and well cared for in Thailand, far better I would say than in many of our home countries. I think you will be making the right move in bringing your mother here. All the very best to you both.
  18. Thingamabob
    Oh dear ! Life in Thailand must be a constant challenge for you. My advice, for what it is worth, is take care of your money generally but don't get over-exercised by issues involving small change.

    What is the point of a posting that does nothing more than state the obvious ? Could apply to women on the game anywhere in the world.

    Message to the RTP-stop grubbing about on this kind of thing, stop focussing on minor offences committed by the poor, and go after the big time criminals. Will never happen, of course.

    Why on earth would you want to get rid of them ? Please do not harm them. They are an asset. They will help you to keep down rodents and other pests.

    Just do what immigration have asked you to do, in person if possible.
  23. Thingamabob
    You appear to know him very well.

    Thai cigarette monopoly hard at work protecting its' interests.

    If you hit a vehicle in front of you, you were either going too fast or not looking, or both.
