    It’s a bogus article quickly disproved by reality.
  2. SmartyMarty
    The usual Thai double standard alive and thriving.
  3. SmartyMarty
    except Singapore loses millions every year hosting the race.
  4. SmartyMarty
    Silly comment. So tell me just how many retired NZers come here for longer than 30 days?
  5. SmartyMarty
    Let’s hope the aero engine servicing is better than the reporting
  6. SmartyMarty
    Most kiwis come here for less than 2 weeks on holiday. The $300 for longer than 30 days is chickenfeed.
  7. SmartyMarty
    Let me guess, retired accountant or school teacher.
  8. SmartyMarty
    A pox on all of them
  9. SmartyMarty
    I’m slightly incorrect, but so is the information posted. Kiwis automatically get a free 30 day tourist visa on arrival in Thailand. The fee listed on the embassy website is for longer visas (which fact it omits).
  10. SmartyMarty
    If only you were correct, except the article talked about total spending, “The festival, which has been recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage event by Unesco, is predicted to attract 10 million international visitors who will contribute 11.8 billion baht to the total spending”.
  11. SmartyMarty
    That information is incorrect.
  12. SmartyMarty
    It’s free for kiwis to come here. Automatic 30 day visa on arrival.
  13. SmartyMarty
    It’s an automatic 30 day visa on arrival for kiwis currently

    Little wonder NZ is so reluctant to let Thais into the country. They’re well known for fake paperwork.
  15. SmartyMarty
    Sounds like gossip to me. Around CM moat pricing was under half what you say.
  16. SmartyMarty
    10 million tourists spending 11 billion is around 1100 baht per person. These figures are total fabrication.
  17. SmartyMarty
    where does that say how many died in ambulances, or days after being released from hospital?
  18. SmartyMarty
    I see you have equipped yourself with the world’s smallest violin. Zero road deaths is an impossibility. After working with NZ govt road safety department and police for over 12 years, I’m well aware of the impacts on families etc. But I choose to live my life as fully as I can without endangering others.

    Sorry Paul. Bad joke on my part. I realize the driving here isn’t what most foreigners are used to, but I am ok with it. When I made my move here I embraced everything about Thai culture and habits. I know that the more we want changes to reflect 1st world, the less enchanting life will be here. If my time is up due to some careless speeding drunk, that’s life. I love the chaos, the risks, the unknown. It’s what makes life interesting for me.

    There’s nothing worse than some slow fart driving in the wrong lane.

    Still no backup facts. I’m tired of asking you for something (to back up your claim) you don’t have and have no intention of providing, simply because you went out on a limb then sawed off the very branch you perched on. Last comment. Does OP stand for “old prick” in your case?
  22. SmartyMarty
    Haha you just proved my point, even though you slander me. You have nothing to back up your assertions re road toll other than a hunch. Pathetic. BTW there’s no such words as “saddwst ” and “ouyu”. I’m sure you can locate a good special needs school if you google it. I’ll help with the spelling.
  23. SmartyMarty
    But you and your mate dispute the figures, but cannot provide evidence to the contrary. That’s my point. It doesn’t matter if deaths are counted differently here, they are official govt figures. I don’t need you to lecture me on how things work here; I’m well aware, informed AND impartial. I’ll leave the whining and hand wringing to others.
  24. SmartyMarty
    Clearly you either don’t live here or never read the news.
  25. SmartyMarty
    I’m asking you to back up your claims. Clearly you cannot so you resort to a personal attack. Pretty lame. We have a saying, “put up or shut up”.
