Yep true, if you use 3 lanes to take a bend, i have little sympathy, someone else could easily have been wiped out.

Where?

Russian: Hey Ukrainian, want to hear a joke? Ukrainian: OK. Russian: Crimea. Ukrainian: I don't get it. Russian: You will never get it. Stab.

She isn't British, she's a Geordie.

The fines aren't illegal, it's how they tried to force payment that is.

It's so obviously not Phuket. It has bins.

Well said. You missed out the user who implied she was on the game also.

Why was she?

That's a guess.

Haha I'm a 51y pensioner. Same 50k+50k BTW. It's not a LTR section, it's the BOI section - and I agree, so fancy, with free candy! Where's my walking stick.

Gas conversions strike again. Is it really worth the mpg savings?

I'd like to hear whos done that on here with a minor. Phuket land department says no way. Lawyers say nope. They will allow a Thai wife to 'gift' a Thai minor however, 50k I was quoted as a brown envelope to go down that route as it was still shady. And of course to do that, the Thai wife has to sign at the land department that it was her own personal money that bought the land to start with for any potential future divorce. The kids legally cant sign a lease agreement with you either. Not sure what legal quandary that puts the farrang in if you divorce before the kids 20 and the wife wants to sell it and has legal avenues over the child to do so.

Tim would be classed as a nominee also. This was stolen, plain and simple, I have no doubt the French lady knew the same as we all do on here and assumed it was protected as best she could and given TO A THAI is a lovely gift that hurts no one, back in full Thais hands. I feel sorry for her, lucky she won't know.

Household lost an electronic skin rejuvenation kit to the same rules recently. We could do nothing. Also a handheld marine radio a few years back. They wont send them back, so effectively they are gone. Be careful. On both occasions it wasn't so much that they were medical and radio devices, it was also that the products themselves have not been tested and approved and therefore the only way to get them in was to obtain certification. Not practical for a one off import.

I see what you did there.

Weird on both counts isn't it. TV readers love to pounce on a location they don't live in, particularly Phuket. As for why the motor-sai guy did what he did, who knows, I'd guess he probably asked the customers if they needed a taxi and they said no then they got in this car instead....lost face.

This is the answer to most subjects on thaivisa.

What did he say that was wrong? I agree with all he said. Phuket is becoming a millionaire's playground, like it or not. And why is it becoming that you should ask? Top notch shopping, dining, environment, hospitals, regional connectivity as well as excellent sailing grounds for our yachts with a myriad of beach destinations to choose from. And yes, loads of Singaporeans and Singapore expats do 5 days offshore 2 days on here, because it has a better lifestyle and its cheaper for them to do that in terms of housing and schooling.

Lol. What? Are you talking about Pattaya maybe? Sounds like your describing some slum in Haiti. Get a grip. You probably live in Issan.

Bhumjaithai member for sure.

19. Notified his parents.

I'll believe it when they find them. 30 years and ive never heard of a daytime robbery or extortion on a local before by a tourist. Bold as brass if its true, Imagine all the reprocussions for a lousy 2k.

Serves him/her right. Bad attitude to defend an indefencible policy of charging 20 baht for a toothbrush online for the world to see...and with attitude. Silly person. I really doubt that is a company policy even. He shouldn't be a manager, I'd fire him.

Nah. They accused her because she stole, they knew. The 'show me your reciept' is just a closed question they already knew the answer too, they'd need more than not having a receipt to accuse.

Thx. A little trap door there. These visas should come with a contract/rule book. Looks like its back to the lawyer come filing time.
