Is it 1st April already?

Did CaMoron agree to uplift pensions for inflation for expats in Thailand? thought not.

I have the Click 160 ABS and it's great around town and gets 50 km/l. But if you intend to travel outside of town maybe the ADV160 is more suitable.

ALL the ADV 160s have the 4 valve engine with increased power and lower seat height (over the ADV 150). Or save 30,000 and buy the Click 160 with the same engine and power.

40% are empty unsold, owned by the original developer. They don't pay their common fees either, until we take them to court. Which is stupid really because they have to pay eventually plus quite large interest and penalty fees.

We only have about 10% of Thais in my condo and those are the ones who don't pay their common fees (until we take them to Court). If the building had 100% Thais there would be zero maintenance done.

The guy's as thick as a short plank and his "good job" was kicking a ball around. Proves the point.

That's the worse thing to do, they can just take what they want without you checking it.

I am a Committee member and i think it's worth it. After all this is my home and i want to have a say in how it is run/maintained. It is not a big time commitment and hey i am retired i have plenty of time. Mostly farangs on our Committee which helps. Also important i think to keep on eye on the finances and who is not paying their common fee.

Or they could tell shops to let thieves just help themselves. Oh they already do that......

He could make an almost perfect Rolex for $500. A real one costs $50,000. Who is the real thief?

I would be interested to know what is "so much cheaper". I can get a large beer in Pattaya 70 baht, a large chicken/rice dish for 60 baht, tuktuk 10 baht, farang meal 199 or even 99 baht etc. Same prices in 7/11. I have travelled there and didn't notice any big differences in price.

Maybe they could retrain as firemen. There will be a big demand to put out all the EV fires.

The new rules are as clear as mud but i am assuming that i will need to submit a tax return next Jan - Mar 2025 on all monies remitted here during 2024. If i can prove they were subject to UK tax then there should be no Thai tax to pay.

You wouldn't get a taxi on the 19th, the roads are gridlocked. I remember making the mistake of get a van from Bangkok to Pattaya on the 19th. Once we hit the outskirts of town it took 5 hours to get home.

I bet they are all salivating at the thought of all those brown envelopes.

EV boom - is that when they burst into flames?

Early/late flights are useless because it ends up costing more with taxis or hotels. Plus they mess up 2 days of your holiday.

Good news. Fairly obvious that an ex security guard couldn't afford a 1 million baht a month villa unless there was something very dodgy with his business.

After dark is even worse. You might might be going out dressed to dinner in the evening and get a bucket of dirty water thrown over you.

Love my Hafele, about 1300 from Lazada

Can't afford real cars so they go for racing milk floats

Where is "much cheaper". I have been all over Thailand and (apart from Bangkopk) prices for normal day to day stuff are very similar to Pattaya.

He can not legally own a gun. If it's registered to him that could only happen if he illegally bribed an official. Why would a normal person need a gun for anyway. In his case it was to intimidate others. This POS thinks nothing of assaulting women, obstructing an ambulance and is a menace to society.

Just go with Roojai on line. My premium 6k for 1st class. Why use a broker?
