Semi serious about this.

 

Got a 30 yr lease on 10 rai of land in the sticks near my house in Surin and I've always wanted a donkey, and I also kinda like water buffalos. Not married.

 

So the question is, can an evil Falangi legally own 

 

A. a donkey

B. a water buffalo

 

Is there something like a "title" or ownership paper for such animals?

 

Obviously I'm not running a farm business, so these animals are just to be owned for companionship (555, setting myself up for the donkey jokes).😃

Wow! So you can get a whole smart phone for 1k but a key-fob is 6k? Not exactly a god value is it? The circuitry in the fob is nothing, I would be surprised if they cost 200 baht, including the case.

Includes programming it to the car and cutting it but yes

My MG6 uses an electronic key-fob. There is a plastic door key inside the transmitter as well. You could copy that easily enough but it does not start the car.

 

I have both of mine but what are they asking for a replacement?

around 6k

Does anyone have any alternative options for how I can get a key programmed and cut for my MG3 in Bangkok? We have been to a number of MG dealers in Bangkok and they are overpriced, and the key comes uncut, so we then have to pay for that to be done too.

TIA.

Give us a break from the nonsense spewed out by these so-called experts. 

There is a difference between mentally ill and knowing the difference between right and wrong, and not caring. 

Hi,

Does anyone know of any recommended centres/tutors within the Miniburi/Bangkapi/Saphun Sung area that does Thai lessons for adults. The person does not need a visa and is looking to learn the language.

Thanks

Just be aware that the motorcycle option sometimes takes you down some iffy, tight roads. I often leave mine on car setting and just set avoid motorways and tolls. Whist this does not negate the overoasses, most are well signposted as are the tunnels. 

Most are blue signage. However, Google. Maps has an option to avoid toll roads and motorways and also to set your vehicle to a motorcycle which adapts for suitable roads (but can take you down some strange sois).

No need to apportion blame when an appropriate level of travel insurance coverage is in place and the conditions of the policy followed.

 

It's not difficult. 

OK. That is my point so I do not know why your arguing. 

My actual point was the bike rider should have insurance. My further point was if they falsely showed they did then the ride should pay

Wrong... Even if laws are broken and someone illegally takes a motorcycle and has an accident, they still receive full emergency medical care without charge. 

If you are going to quote me then please read what I wrote. 

I said if their was no accident then the NHS would not be required.

The problem typically arises when the person renting is irresponsible, putting the onus on them will not pay the hospital bill. 

 

So as long as they have a copy of anything they're clear? 

I said some of the blame.. I know it is too simplistic but if you cannot ride a bike because you have no licence or insurance, then you should not be rising the bike

Just now, torturedsole said:

What about if you got drunk and nicked a car or motorbike? Insurance won't cover it.

 

There's no one system that can cover all eventualities so insurance it is. 

Really, you are helping my argument as in that scenario, who is to blame? 

And.. I actually said insurance is required. 

1 minute ago, torturedsole said:

Blame everyone else. Cool.

Why should the person causing a situation not be blamed. I agree they should be helped but that is an ideal world and Thailand does not have that system.

You're a farang and there's an accident, irrespective of right or wrong, the police will come down on the side of the Thai. End off. 

That is a myth. I have personally experienced a Thai having to pay for my bike to be repaired, whilst my insurance covered my hospital bill.

But you'll be treated on the NHS free of charge. 

 

The onus is on the traveller and always will be. 

OK. But no licence no car. No car no accident. No accident no nhs

How is a small rental operator in a tourist supposed to know if the license they are shown is even real? You can show the most anything. I gave a "license" I got from the Autopia ride at Disneyland to a police officer and he took it. 

 

If it's up the operator to check licenses or insurance, they'll be someone down the street selling licenses and insurance. 

 

Compelling the rental operators to carry insurance to cover medical would be a better strategy. Let the people renting motorcycles pay for it. 

Accountability. If the rider offers an invalid licence and the bike rental company accepts it and copies it for proof at a later date, then the onus should be on the rider for circumventing the rule. They would have known it not to be a valid licence. 

Conversely, if no licence is taken then the company should take some of the blame.

My wife and I regularly visit Europe for short breaks but there has never been a requirement to evidence adequate travel insurance coverage for each and every eventuality.

 

It's the same the world over, the onus of responsibility is on the traveller to have a backup plan(s), otherwise we're on our own. 

 

If people want to take unnecessary risks, so be it, although Go Fund Me make a lot of money from irresponsible travellers. 

 

This may be true but if you rent a car in the UK it come with compulsory basic insurance so you do not have a choice. You can then upgrade it to cover other things such as the vehicle. 

Generally, you can only pass it down to one generation if they were born outside the UK. So if your child was born in Thailand for example, they can get it from you but they cannot pass it on. HOWEVER, there are exceptions so it may be different for some people.
