  1. Totally agree, I have an old English Police Sergeant’s stick which has a steel bush at the end. Have only had to use it a few times and a quick blow to the nose means they never return and I don’t get bitten.
  2. I have been dealing with a large Ford dealership in Chiang Mai for several years with replacement parts when needed from Bangkok only taking a couple of days to obtain. Over the last year this seems to have blown out to up to two weeks and the staff tell that they have cars waiting at the dealership for parts. Other anecdotal evidence suggests that Ford Thailand has changed its systems. Anyone else experienced this?
  3. She was arrested in the UK not Thailand, it doesn’t state the police couldn’t unlock the phone but that she refused to unlock the phone or provide the pin.
  4. Fortunately my wife of nineteen years was never a bar girl perhaps that’s where you made your mistake.
  5. Thanks for he feedback will proceed with them
  6. Thanks for the info
  7. Show the Thai passport when departing through Thai Immigration and when you return to Thailand use the British Passport when arriving in the UK. Show the British passport when checking in, with the airline in Thailand. You will not have a problem my wife has Thai/ Australian passports my daughter Thai/ Australian/UK passports they travel overseas regularly without any issue doing the above.
  8. We have had both our cars insured with Direct Asia for a number of years and found them very helpful when needed. I have just received my renewal notice which advises that they are now Roojai Insurance. I understand that they were formed in 2016 and am interested as to what the experience has been in dealing with them.
  9. Where I live in the North the police are booking Thais, I am never asked to show my licence or asked to undertake any form of test always waved through.
  10. Since when has a health insurance plan been a requirement for a Retirement Extension, not in the fifteen years I have held mine or my expat friends either
  11. I think they do in the agricultural sector as many Thais don’t want to work in the fields. I don’t blame them either working all day in hot and humid conditions. I live in the North and most of that work seems to be carried out by Burmese people. I think the other issue is that in recent years younger people have become more educated and gone to university we know a few who came from low income families and went to university, there is no way they will undertake menial work
  12. Does that constitute a cover up? Perhaps they don’t know or don’t have enough evidence yet to charge the individuals. Not uncommon procedure with two Western Police forces I have been associated with
  13. Along with many other countries around the world he US included.
