Two years ago my yellow book saved me a 3 hour round driving trip to get a certificate of residence for the DLT to issue my license. They told me where to go and come back with the form and when I asked what about my yellow book everything changed and they processed me to get a 2 year temporary motorbike and car license on the spot.

Is this a case of typical Thai logic ..... was in Tesco where I saw  protex offering a deal of buy one get one free, well I quite like the product so went to pick a bottle up and realised they are only half full ! Since then any time I see them being sold in a store I check the bottles and every single one of them is filled half way . Am I missing something ? I know it sounds trivial but I’d rather just have one full Bottle then two half full . 

I did faux wood finish on mil’s concrete columns. First I used a mid tone paint as the base and then some red toned lacquer stain they seem to use on everything. Looks close to the wood tree columns they had painted with the red stuff.

I went in one today for the first time and besides no salesperson in the shop, expensive, no beef? and everything except hotdogs were frozen. This may be a limited selection as the place was quite small and not indicative for their full offering but I was unimpressed. At least Tesco thaws the meat for you if you don’t come too early.

Hopefully they will put an end to dinging customers with ridiculous extra fees whenever doing something out of province. Then I wake up.
 

I got a coffee at 7-11 and the water was so hot I would have been there for 10 minutes waiting for the cup to cool down enough to pick it up so I doubled up the cup which is a totally common practice in the States. Some shops even give you the double cup when they prepare it for you or at least those little cardboard sleeves. The keen eyed girl behind the counter making 30 baht an hour was quick to stop the thief (me) and started commenting in Thai to her co-slave that I had 2 cups and asked how to handle the situation. I overheard and told her in Thai to relax and just charge me for 2 coffees. And she did. Free stay at Bangkok Hilton averted. Someone could be stomped to death outside the shop and she would look away but TWO CUPS?! NO WAY MISTER! 

I don’t understand allowing 2 million migrants into Thailand to do unskilled labour and housekeeping. Those are jobs Thais are most qualified for and should be protected.

People spoil easily when you take them from having little to living their dreams I think.

How about forward looking traffic cameras onboard and a bumper guard on the front. If vehicles don’t move in reaction to the sirens the ambulance driver gently taps the rear of the offender. If they still don’t move over review of the cameras will get them a visit from police or a significant fine in the mail.

What’s truly amazing to me is it takes a 13 minute news segment to handle this story. Usually something like this would only require 9 or 10 minutes tops.

Thailand is a nice location for me because nobody from the USA calls me to help them or borrow from me.

I know enough about boats to warn you this will be your most expensive whimsical adventure and possibly the one that sinks.

Why did you bother asking a question? You don’t seem to like or want to accept the answer!
 
Are you a troll?

In some people case (who’s families aren’t millionaires) poor people would pay for the high value item and have them forward it, calling it a gift to hopefully find a way from paying the true import costs.

god damn it ,why does it all have to be so complicated...yeah,if you could provide the contact info of the logistics guy,that would be great,thanks....much appreciated  

Come on, come on, you are bidding on a brand new 3D license plate and the winning bidder gets to state what expiry date he wants. The bidding is now open with a starting bid of 5,000baht

....the cardboard cut outs on the other hand  remained quiet on the subject !

I hope the landlords electric meter is as quiet when it starts screaming around in circles.

I was allowed to hold the picture of my pp on my cellphone up the the camera when entering through security at the viewing. Actually I was amazed as tit and all.

I’ll take a stab and say the embassy is not a “financial institution” and recommend a global financial institution which the treasury should consider reputable like Citibank Central World Branch between Siam and Chit Lom on the sky train. Maybe call Citi first. I’d bet one could fudge the form as the treasury just retains it to cover themselves and have no way or interest verifying the counter signature. Not that I suggest you fudge it, just saying.

The elephant better hope they don’t give him a helicopter ride.

I view the women wearing them as phobics and look them off as they’re not likely to be into dirty sex.

It’s interesting how expats living in a certain southeast Asian country give full support to the draconian immigration procedures and 100% enforcement of immediately expelling and or incarcerating along with bans on re-entry for overstayers yet advocate the United States should make some type of exceptions for people who are found to be in the country without proper “permission to stay”, ie: visa or green card.
I guess “Guests in their country, their rules” doesn’t always apply.

This weeks wonderfully sincere mockery should easily makeup for last weeks perceived slippage. [emoji106][emoji106]
