DUNROAMIN

Sad, but this is normal everywhere in Thailand. Thailand government dont give a <deleted>, nor does the average Thai. The environment is not high on the government or public agenda.

Agree with OP regarding swiss men, I do not condone what they did, however, there are 70 million plus Thais in Thailand, with assalts, bashings, rapes, murders by Thais everyday in Thailand. Do you see the media covering those cases, no, because nobody cares, better story if 'farang' involved. Media BS at its best.

They attract your attention while second party looking for quick grab of your wallet, phone, gold, etc.

Dont blame him, the UK hasbecome a multi cultural disaster zone, time to shut the boarders before the UK loses its western way of life forever, like many EU countries are discovering.

This seems to be normal in Thailand, tax heavily on all imports, yet little tax on people and goods in country.

Easy, don't fly there. Nothing special in Phuket that other tourist hot spots offer. Overrated.

I think I will wait until the tax office comes knocking at my door, then make a decision which path to go down.

With your money I would'nt bother with Big C or Makro, plenty of expat butchers selling quality beef in Phuket.

Really, Thai Airways sueing a passenger for his personal opinion, The airline must be desperate for cash. I mean, the comment would have fizzled away in a few days, and would it really affect Thai Airways, I seriously doubt it. Now Thai Airways will be known for their actions against passengers who complain about anything. More harm done than good.

Less than 200B. why bother, replace it youself.

What did she expect from Russian officials, same here in Thailand, their all corrupt. Splash some cash and stolen goods will magically appear.

Same old samo from EV lovers in denial. Just a small piece of info for you concerning your quote. 'As was covered in that original thread, multiple sources of statistics including the US Gov't, put fires in ICE vehicles about 14 times more likely than in an EV.' Have you check lately how many ICE are on the road right now in the world against EVs. Comparing ICE vehicles burning against EVs burning is just pure nonsense. Hey, you enjoy your BYD, I sleep well at nights owning my ICE vehicle.

I think you are in denial my friend, maybe do some serious research on EVs for yourself and find if they are really the 'planet saver' as so many EV nuts preach.

Again: please stay with it DUNROAMIN. My life on this planet is short lived, I dont think EVs will cause me a problem, long live the ICE.

Maybe cant spell, but know when I am trying to be brain washed by EV nuts.

This is what my immigration office requires. Go figure!

Dont be led down the BS path by governments and environmentalists about EVs, their delushional people living in a fairy tale world. My next car will be another ICE vehicle.

BYD is failing in China, not recommend.

Sounds like it has'nt changed much.

You must get a new Kor Ror every year, dated on the day you apply for new extension from your local government, deaths, births and marriage office.

Just imagine the reaction if a Thai was overseas on a holiday and visited a hospital that had 2 tier sytem. Norman price for locals, 100% price hike for foriegners.

The brown envelopes must have dried up.

Hi to all, I am sure many of you are aware of the mulitude of online scams around today, here in Thailand and abroad. Here is a scam that was posted on my local Expats forum site in northern Thailand. Within the forum an add was placed for second hand household goods, furniture, electrical and various sundry items. The add was posted by a european couple (fake photo and names) who were working in the area and were re-locating somewhere else and wanted quick sales of their gear. The add had many pictures of the items and prices and were mainly high end brand name items. A bit unusual for expats working here to have expensive items. The add came with a messenger icon to contact them personally to discuss the sale. I asked about one paticular item and was told it was available, so I asked when I could come and look at the item and was told I could view the item after they had finished work at 6pm and they would send a location map for their house. OK, so after awhile I received a message if I wanted to put the item on hold to guarantee the sale, I opted out and said no. From this point on there was no response, after studying the messages I relised something was'nt right, in the conversation, which was in English, the person finished the message with the word (right) eg,( I will see you at 6pm and I will send a location map, right.) This word would not be used like this by Europeans speaking English. Their next step if you agree to put the item on hold is they ask for a deposit to hold the item, then presto they vanish from the forum page. Other members from my forum saw the add and had the same experience. The add was reported and removed. Luckily nobody was stung, however, be aware that facebook is a scammers paradise to con money from you. BE EVER VIGILANT
