bkk & pattaya , why the stupid reply ?   

are you saying there would be no needles, rats/rat s**t.human s**t in these bins ?   look in your hotel everywhere it states to clean your ass and throw the paper into plastic bag so therefore these bin lorries full of s**t !    and i watch some of these guys do not wear gloves and surely they fall sick with diseases often ? 

To enlighten you..

Your supposed to spray your ass with water to clean it then dry off with paper.

I dread to think what your bathroom bin is like. 

You get longer for. Picking mushrooms

You say your on a mission to cook this year instead of dining out but you find beef expensive in Big C.

It would be 10 times more expensive to dine out so just open your wallet and release the flies

Happens to me often too. Then they stand there with pen and pad in hand. I just smile at them as they ask what I want.

They soon get the idea to bring a 2nd menu.

I just moved condo and went to jomtien with a completed tm30 and a copy of my lease .

Unusually , Nothing else was asked for. 

I was in and out within 10 minutes. They Stapled the bottom of the form on my passport .

They were turning others away for not having copy of house book and copy of owners ID.

Must of been my lucky day.

As per the original post, 56,000 butts in 43 days, 1,300 butts per day.

It is odd, I walk along that beach  couple of times a week and have never seen more than a few cig butts on the beach or footpath, Have never seen anyone counting cig butts, picking up cig butts.

 

 

I have said 100 million times, dont exagerate.

At 1300 butts a day found and maybe only 1% all butts that are actually there , that makes it 130,000 butts per day. 

Some porkies being told by someone.. 

Why bother, If it's 4 or 5 years old. How much do you honestly expect to get for it?

Not worth the time and energy.

No police report required Any More. 

As a previous poster said. 

Common sense. 

If your going to be running scared of doing minor jobs around the house, I'd suggest you'd be happier if you went home. 

So much scare mongering. 

They really don't give a toss unless your taking a Thai job away or yourwife / gf wants you deported for some reason or another. 

Many leases stipulate that if you leave before the lease is up , you simply loose your deposit which is normally 2 months rental.

Chickenslegs.. Thank you for reply.. So they do have the power to remove licence until fine is paid...!! It is so hard for a westerner to understand that a licence can be removed for such a menial infringement. No receipt was given and I will have to drive on my Thai licence just to make sure Insurance is covered while we drive to Police station to pay the fine. Sometimes you just bang your head against the wall...!

The licence is being held not withdrawn. Pay the fine and repair the light and licence is returned.

Normal practice. 

If she wouldn't have had her licence with her they would have kept her ID card. If she had neither they would keep hold of the car keys.

And most times you do not get the proper plate within 30 days. It is stupid to have to get temporary plates when the car showroom could make then while you wait.

Not stupid at all. The dealers nor anyone else can make plates.

The only plates on any vehicle are issued by the government and are embossed with a governent stamp. Any other plate you get made is illegal.

I pay 1 baht for 2 pages. What kind of paper are you using?

That barely covers  the cost of the paper and ink.

Obviously they haven't worked out their costs.  

All depends where you live.

If in Pattaya just go to immigration at Jomtien and tell them you wish to extend your current visa for another year but you will be unable to do so in the last 30 days of your current extension due to surgery.

I'm sure they will oblige. 

I extended mine 73 days in advance there after explaining that I was going on a extended holiday and got re entry permit  at the same time.

Get a life.

Live and let live. 

Even if you were due anything, I would imagine the postage stamp would cost more than what it's worth.

Didn't she even have a motobike driverslicense and insurance?

In that case the renter of the bike is responsible as well.

And why would that be?

Go to a restaurant, eat a fish and choke on a bone, I suppose you'd also say it's the restaurants fault for not removing them. 

People need to take responsibility for their own actions.

And the next topic to have a moan about is????

3184 cars damaged so far with 41 companies. That's just over  1million baht damage each company.

An average claim of around 14,000 baht. 

Basically the yearly premium on those cars will cover the damage. 

Not a hit at all for the insurance companies.. 

So they have decided to errect mini glass houses for people to smoke in. I dread to imagine the heat in one of those things let alone how filthy they will look within a few days.

Several months ago I tried to pay my electric bill at 7-11 a few hours after it was read. They scanned it and I was told to come back the following day as it wasn't in the system.

The same if you try and pay at 7-11 after the due by date. They won't accept it. You need go and pay directly at the electric company.

Only if they were married before the birth.

I fell foul of that law and it has plagued me and my daughter for the rest of our lives.

Nonsense.  My daughter was born in 2010 but I didn't get married till 2011, 14 months after. She has both Thai and British Passports.

Don't know what you are paying per M3 for your water, but I had a broken pipe that used over 600,000 units and the bill was only 3000 Baht - let me just say, it was pretty obvious that there was a leak as the land was flooded in a large area - however, if your pipes are 4m below the surface it could well go unnoticed.

if it is a leak, just go and take a quick look at your water meter - the needle will be spinning like an aeroplane propeller.

600,000 units utter rubbish and impossible for 3000 baht.

Your bill would have been millions of Baht.
