  1. 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'
  2. 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.
  3. I bet Thai airforce transport carriers don't lol. not working ones anyway.
  4. Exactly. Practically a non issue. Newspaper column filler.
  5. El Al commercial planes have missile counter measures I think.
  6. Some people shouldn't be online if they can't see such blatant sarcarm and humour. Sorry sir. Keep up the good work.
  7. Hope his first question was about RHD models.
  8. 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.
  9. Joke was way beyond you clearly.
  10. Is Smartlands a dodgy app? Seems legit to me. Linked to from land department website. Something doesn't add up.
  11. 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'
  12. Watch the video, it's even more obvious why. What an idiot he seems to be.
  13. 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.
  14. Nailed it. Those traffic pinch points will become unbearable soon. I wonder if the environmental approval includes these issues with massive condo developments.
  15. The statute here allows for 3 to 15 for vehicular manslaughter + fines. (Section 290) Accidental or otherwise, drunk or otherwise. The problem in this country is that it can be commuted to probation by the courts (or no charges brought at all) if adequate compensation is paid (to the victims families satisfaction) either at the time of accident or during the court process afterwards if the perp was silly enough not to pay compensation quickly. This is why its so unjust here, money legally solves the problem of a custodial sentence in instances of manslaughter. It's sickening but reality.
  16. I think the daughter got 20 years if you look at the original Web page.. Not sure about the others. That's a lot of laundry sacks to sew.
  17. Was it first or second hand. , wasn't clear? Have to some kind of fool to spend that on a used car without due diligence. Even first hand must do a bit more than he appears to have done.
  18. Not sure we should take this obscure departments view into consideration. The Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine. Please tell me they don't have a say in cannabis laws or any laws for that matter.
  19. I'll wait until Patong hill fully reopens before condeming Phuket. Cherngtalay and Chalong routes were taking a hammering with Patong diversion traffic and I suspect still are. Yep peak periods are nasty at the moment, but outside those times its pretty calm. In fact I did 18 minutes from boat lagoon to chalong yesterday at 8pm. (Yes we do have a 'highway' ;)) . That's as quick as its ever been. Its easy to moan about traffic, probably the same people that would moan if there wasn't modern conveniences, places to work, modern schools, water parks, malls etc. You have to expect crowds, you can't have one without the other. If you don't like that lifestyle, move to the countryside or an island with a bamboo shack and little else.
  20. Wife's does. Data included. Not sure if it's forever or just the first year though.
  21. My wife has a new 60. Few months old. Great car, small battery though even for a hybrid ;( I believe they are now coming with a larger battery. Had no issues so far, the 5 year free service and warranty is a bargain package tbh. The guy who came to install the charging station even sorted out some dodgy electricals in the house free of charge. Wife's happy, hardly uses the gas for school runs etc, husband not so happy as he still pays the electric bill. Would recommend.
  22. Unless they sort out the chaotic and inadequate parking, access roads etc it'll be a waste of money.
  23. Isn't the bashing because he used the passe term transister radio. Everyone who has a car has a radio so it's hardly prehistoric. Where else will I enjoy my 6pm national anthem.
