When I see supposedly educated farangs driving when they are drunk, I do not blame Thai anymore...

Why haven't they used dogs before ?  Hardly a new tool in checking for contraband. 

Because dogs never last long before they are eaten !

What do people smuggle into Cambodia where everything is already so cheap ???

What are the benefits ?

Would be great ! Very easy to send anyone to jail here thanks to their great drug laws!

Even easier in Philippines thanks to the POS that they call a president !

A good start anyway <3

The best food that you do not find everywhere in Thailand is ON VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT. One of the best and cheapest where I have ever eaten, with many dished never found anywhere else in Thailand.

It's also located on the main street where is the bridge.

The Noble Night GH is great, has a small swimming pool.

Many bars and restaurants in walking distance, some surprisingly elegant.

A short m/c tuk tuk ride to the bridge (100b) and you can phone the guy to pick you up when you're ready to return LOL

 

If he cannot walk to the bridge from this hotel he should stay home...

The only real question is: do you want to stay near bars and restaurant or far from these activities ?

If you want to be able to walk to bars and restaurant stay at a hotel on the main road where is the bridge, or just across the river (where is Felix resort).

If you don't care to drive your car drunk or use a taxi to go back to your room, you can stay anywhere in the jungle, hundreds or resorts available.

I have a thai friend who got the car passport and rear translated english plate for the sole purpose or driving between Bangkok and Phnom Phen which he has done once already. He said he had no problems, but he is thai millitary so i don't think the same rules apply but he was encouraging me to do the same with my car.

The fact that he is a soldier can explain why he is either stupid or a liar.

Nobody needs a car passport to go to Cambodia.

Post to the u.s. has been extremely slow over the past month or so 

Getting better for parcels sent after December 10. Already delivered.

My inkling is that if that were an option, every dopehead in Thailand would buy a letter from a friendly doctor, signed by someone whose signature could be mistaken for a local cop's.  And it's not unheard of for people on meds to also partake of the speed or other recreational meds.

 

I keep the hospital phone number on speed dial anyway, and a hospital label from my meds in my wallet.  

 

For me, it's easier just to stay out of bars since I don't drink.

No dope no drink ? your life must be boring !!!

You see it as harrassment.

 

They see it as doing their jobs.

 

It's a matter of perspective.

 

Is this actually happening, or did a mate who heard it in a bar tell you??

Their job is to sell the dope, not to harass anybody buying it !

Or maybe they have 2 jobs as usual...

Better still, I will avoid Apple completely.

What kind of people except people who will never understand anything about technology still buy iphones ?

All bar girls now have an Android S6 or better because they think that only stupid people buy an iphone !!!

Even if you pay me millions I won't go to a country where they can call president a retarded monkey as dutertre whom most of them are proud to have elected !!!

The missus will be dirty with me if I turn the lights in during the daytime as they use electricity and that costs too much to waste.

So lucky you are to live with another genius  <3

The only chance for many Thai to even have their light on at night would be to have them 100% automatic, so even the brainless could turn their lights on at night.

Hmmmm, not so long ago I was ticked off (but not fined) by a cop for driving with my car headlights on during the day, apparently reserved for VIPs and military convoys.

 

I also understand that after-market running lights are illegal too (along with decent air-horns).

 

So, a whole new avenue of tea supply for the BiB all with the blessing of The Council of Engineers.

All my German cars lights are ON and OFF automatically when the engine is running and nobody will ever tell me to turn them off.

Seriously, are you suggesting he purchases an Elite visa in order to facilitate his monthly shopping trip to Macro?

 

I do think the Elite visa is a logical solution for people who want to spend the bulk of their time in Thailand, but not for monthly shopping trips.

 

Once you accept the principle of national borders, negotiated and controlled by elites, of course you need to adapt to whatever conditions that implies. Some countries choose to have more or less closed borders. Some see value in keeping them open. Thailand seems to be moving towards a more closed model. I think they are being stupid, but it is up to them.

 I can go and stay as long as I want in Thailand and in Cambodia, my life is very easy and I suggest to anyone who wants to stop asking stupid questions to just pay what it costs to feel free as much as I do !

Whyc should I stop watching tv??

All countries Is true check the packages by x-ray but canadians or australians have more strickt rules about food and others...this Is undeniable and nothing to do with your hunbdreds of parcels, probably u dont send food or animals and nothing Irregular to stop them. Slow timing means also that they check one by one like I saw.

P.s.: What do you mean by "slaves" ??

A slave is anybody anywhere in the world doing this kind of shiiite job for any government.

More than slaves when knowing how useless they are, tons of drugs is travelling everywhere in the world and there is nothing that they can do about it. All cops, customs and army are just ridiculous people who do these jobs because there are not smart enough to do any other interesting job that requires a brain !

Sorry but after almost 20 years in the region, you are still now able to pay an elite card ?

Are you sure that living here is a good choice for you ?!

Just asking...

It's on my agenda to check out the new, upscale Yayoi and compare it with the ones I'm familiar with.  I usually have the dory teishoku set and am curious if the new one has it, and if so, at what price/

Your cheap dory is a dirty pangasius from vietnam...

In case you don't know, even what they call wasabi is not the real stuff at all cheap Jap restaurants...

Google is your friend !

I dont think that Yayoi Thai, US and Japan are related...

Anyway this is shiiiite food and no Japanese would ever it there (in Thailand).

I didn't read through all of the replies, a lot of them tend to be a load of nonsense, my wife has a liking for some facial powder/make-up that you cannot get here in Thailand and I get it sent from Australia a couple of times a year when ever it is on special, absolutely no dramas in the mail what so ever, gets delivered to our front door every time, no issues with import duty or any of that crap.

You know more than everybody else ! How lucky you are <3

Hello, can you tell me what is the cheapest room/house that you found at Chanthaburi ?

I won't be there full time but like to have my own place, so please tell me if you have info.

Thanks.
