My Brother-in law killed a motorcyclist and went to court - he was ordered to pay 50,000 baht to the deceased's family. It was my relative's fault.

Why did you pay 300,000 baht?

This maybe because in Thailand, the police can arrest someone and hold them in jail until the case goes to court.

Usually the arrested person is given the chance to pay an under the counter fee to the police so as to keep them out of jail until the court case.

I know of cases where people have been held in police custody, arrested but not charged, for over 3 years awaiting the court appearance.

My daughter travels to work every day on her motorbike and so called drivers like the OP are a continued worry to me.

Sorry to have to say this, but if it was any of my family or people close to me that was a victim of a fatal accident or seriously injuried by a negligent driver, then I would want the book thrown at that driver.

My thoughts are with the tragic victim, not the OP.

Hey big wheel man

So called driver iam so your the expert

If you are so concerned with your daughters safety buy her a car you will beable to afford it if your bank balance is a big as your MOUTH.

You better pray you are never put through an unlucky accident MR PERFECT.

Thanks to all the other helpful replies you have been great good luck to you all and will post the outcome

Cheers

Seems you have an anger, problem. Does this reflect your driving on the road?

My condolences to the tragic victim and his family.

no anger issues

just dont understand how you can be so perfect and judgmental

as i said pray you do not experience an accident and take a life

i will never forget

Just being nosey..

Care to tell us what happened? who was at fault etc.... how you dealt with compensation for the family..

I've been lucky but always figured it was only a matter of time before I hit a motorbike while driving at no fault to myself.

Well a long story cut short i was turning to do a u turn and hit the bike just didnt see him.

the insurance payed out 330k and me another 300k

but iwill have to face something like not driving with due care and causing death in the process.

what to hear aboutr anyone with experience or hear say on jail time or not.

i have followed the family in the process of funeral and have also been a monk for 9 days to allow him to go to heaven so to speek. so we have not just walked away

cheers

You will find that the next stage is the police asking for their cut to stop it going to court. You paid the family, the insurance paid the family also, where is Mr. policemans cut?

I know there is always many cuts in the pie but is it possible for the police to stop it going to court in a serious accident?

cheers

Are you saying it was your fault?

and you are still a free man?

yes i was bailed from the police

i have settled with the family through my insurrance and also a cash payment from me.

it will now go to court we have a statement taking by police and singed by the family that they dont wont to make any problems for me.

can anyone give me an idea what to expect from the courts

Can't help with the outcome mate but be ready for anything,

havnt yet got a date for court

cheers

They could change there mind in the meantime and the court will be with them

Good Luck, when is the court date?

Why does it still have to go to court, after you/insurance paid already?

It is my understanding it it must go to court as it is a fatal accident.

Hi all,

My gf and I are both in our mid-twenties and her and her family have been talking around Ubon for the last couple months trying to find a competent builder for a 500k-600k small house, to no avail. If anyone has any recommendations at all, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently living away at the moment and her family is not knowledgable in construction, so the method of supervising some local farmer-constructors to avoid contractor costs isn't possible, plus we want the construction sound. She does have a pickup and will be able to furnish the materials for the contractor.

Thanks so much

Hi mate,

I have a guy how is a good builder and works cheep but you must pay for materials.

if you have the land it is possible to work to our budget.

if you are interested in more info PM me and i will give u my email.

he has dome work on my house and i wouldnt use anyone else.

cheers

Tagaa..... I don't think that Doc was replying to your post but more towards the post from Citizen33 and possibly mine.... If you look closely Doc had quoted Citizen33's post who had quoted yours... Doc just replied and quoted Citizen33's post which had yours tagged on and wasn't removed... At least that what it appeared like to me, but I could be wrong, as I have been wrong before, but only once....

Why does everyone always take replies so dam_n personal. Take it as opinions....and we know what opinions are like, right?

Please don't let this incident refrain you from posting in the future, as if that's the case why even be on this forum? I like reading everyone's input as I like seeing other sides of the coin. Yes, perhaps I don't always like it or agree but it's still interesting to see others' views on different subjects.

Peace,

dingdongrb......

Well i bought one of Docs ss bbqs and i am Flamming happy with it and it isnt to expensive.

u pay the same for the china shit that gets around.

it is strong and very well welded

the sevice i got from doc and the misses was great.

and no doc was not a mate

just good product and service which is a change

Harry

As you are not married you would probably only get a single 90 day entry from Penang.

Immigration would give you a one time 60 day extension to visit your child. But that is probably of little use to you.

Ok gents

I have enquired with the thai visa penang visa service.

they have replied no problems they can handle the multi visa in penang for me.

I have emailed them back to comfirm that multies are available so will keep u informed.

I am offshore working for the next week so i will know more when i get on the beach.

I am willing to give it ago will let u know the outcome surely it can be done or it wont look good for thai visa . com

cheers

harry

Ok What is the truth does anyone really know

Do KL or Penang issue multi "o" marriage visas if you all the criteria.

Just hear to many different stories.

Cheers

No mate from oz and at the moment doing 6 and 3 in the gulf of thailand on a DSV.

but next year will be doing 6 and 6 thats the reason for a visa

cheers

Okay ask some question and I will try to anwer.

I was trying to sum up what all the other posts said with a bit more information.

Sorry excuse the punn it is clear

Cheers for your help

After you apply you will have a 30 day waiting period while your "application is under consideration" (what the stamp says they put in your passport telling you the date to come back). Maestro said you can apply for a single rentry permit if you have to go back to work before you get your final approval. If you can wait until you get the final approval then apply for a multiple entry work permit. You should apply at the immigration office that is nearest to where you live. Don't forget you need to show income for the application. If you are working I am sure you can get a proof of income letter from your consulate,

The best option depends on your situation. I would say the one year extension is best because you don't have keep getting new visas plus it will start you in the direction of being able to apply for permanent residence if you desire to go that route later

Visa application: 1900 baht Single reentry: 1000 baht Multiple reentry: 3800 baht

Thanks mate all clear as mud.

ok thanks

so i get a non o in lao then come back and apply at any immigration office for an extension of stay for 12 months after the approval ask for amultiple-entry re-entry permit .

? is this my best option or go to KL and get a non o multi

Cheers

your advise is much appreciated

After you get the extension of stay you must get a multiple-entry re-entry permit (fee 3,800 Baht, I believe) and it is then this re-entry permit that allows you to come and go as you please for the duration of your one-year extension of stay.

When you apply for your marriage extension of stay you will first be given an extension of only one month while your application is being processed. For this short extension a single-entry re-entry permit (fee 1,000 Baht) will probably be sufficient for your needs.

Maestro

Can someone please make this clear for me.

I f go to loa and get an non o visa can i then get a 12 month extension based on marriage.
