  1. Yep. The recreational industry will play whac-a-mole with the current law at the time and supplement any grey areas with envelopes.
  2. Look at the state of that boat. A bit generous to call that a ferry. Did it start its life as a garbage barge on the Chao Phraya.
  3. Yep, paying yourself and insurance paying isn't the same. Not even close. Hence why insurance rates are spiraling. Its all a very well orchestrated rip. As for the heart center, I have to pay at the IPD payment room next door... I'm sure they have one eye on me to ensure I pay.
  4. This is from the Mirror newspaper. The worst tabloid in the UK. I doubt its what he said or how he said it. The war-torn and the hose comment were probably said jokingly with British wit? And the newspaper turned it into a sensation piece. Its what they do.
  5. So much xenophobia. I wonder if my beautiful Thai kids are described this way with Thais with their British surname? By your rationale, are they not Thai with a British surname? Are they not British cause they look somewhat Asian? When they go to Britain, will they be accepted by your ilk?
  6. A made up story, a Russian leaving Phuket? Can't be true.
  7. Foreigner centric Moo Baans in Phuket are like the opening scenes of an American Halloween slasher movie. Its quite nice to see the kids trick or treat, coming from a country that doesn't do it much. I sent my kids off to school dressed up this morning.
  8. Would be interesting to see stats on elite visa refusals. I'm betting its near zero.
  9. Well yes, more to this story than a simple overstay. Wonder if they have a tax number? 'The inquiry revealed that this group of suspects are Indians. The wife of the leader is from Ukraine. Three months ago, they came to rent and buy land for a luxury villa for 500 million baht, with an area of at least 10 rai, and they lived as a family of more than 20 people, with a Thai housekeeper and a Thai gardener. An antique military vehicle is positioned as a sign at the villa’s gate, equipped with security guards and its own ambulance. There are more than 20 luxury cars inside, each with a licence plate that does not match the car’s registration, and more than 30 drones. In addition, two white lion cubs worth over two million baht, two macaws, two raccoons, and one meerkat were discovered with no proof of possession. They were confiscated and turned over to the Choeng Thale Police Station for storage and examination'
  10. How can they get such basic info wrong. They're definitely Indian in the photos on the fb page, if that's them sitting down. And some tattooed dude who could be anyone. Harley bikes and a hillside villa... more to this story than simple overstay.
  11. Some people shouldn't be online if they can't see such blatant sarcarm and humour. Sorry sir. Keep up the good work.
  12. I think most if not all western nations are already visa free arrival. And as for Boris' home country, I believe its way more important than we realise for tourism here. Stats suggest its a big earner.
  13. Is Smartlands a dodgy app? Seems legit to me. Linked to from land department website. Something doesn't add up.
  14. Seems like she had no choice to an unruly passenger. Ergo forced. I'd take more issue with the phrase "for him". More like 'because of him'
  15. You should apply for a few. Some schools here are oversubscribed not in terms of teachers, but also space and resources.. Contractully, good schools wont and can't expand class sizes if they can't create classes. They increase revenue in over subscribed situations by increasing fees and extras. (Or so it feels!) If you can afford and don't mind the application fee which can be considerable, apply for a few. Many schools also have a nationality quota so as to not effect the balance of the school. You should ask as although there may be a queue there may not be a queue for your kids nationality. Good luck, been through it here. My kids have been unsuccessful before, luckily they weren't my first choice schools.
