If you are forced to apologies, it is still concerted to be sincere?

A few posters got it right, we pay for all the false insurance claims with our raising premium cost.

Why don't you get an international drivers licence?

Not heard of international drivers license.

However he did say he has a IDP (International Drivers Permit).

I have one (IDP) from the US that I must renew every year. I use it in Thailand for both car and motorbike.

Not sure what the requirements are in Vietnam.

I agree with 'observer90210'.

This has been going on with (non) PayPal for years. I get at least one a month from the PayPal scammers.

I also get them from my bank and my credit card which again are all scams.

A good way to tell is to look at what comes after the "@" from the email from the sender.  

If you get a email from PayPal it should be from @paypal.com not @uk.hotmail.com or what every else the scammers use.

The latest one I got from my bank which is Bank of America, was @bnkamerca.com.

It depends if the flight is operated under FAA (US) or CAA (China) flight regulations. CAA regulations are widely used across Asia, and do not allow electronic devices in flight, no matter the type. I will never book a flight transiting China for this reason. If your flight was going to/from one of the countries that follows CAA regs, or is operated by an airline that follows CAA regs, there's your reason. Nothing to do with the flight attendant or pilot's preference.

That happened to me on a flight on China Eastern from Shanghai to Bangkok./

I was reading my Noon E-Reader while taxing out to take off. The flight attendant came by and told me I had to turn it off.

After getting to cruse attitude I got it back out. The same attendant was walking down the aisle and said, "I told you before you can't have that on while in the plane.

First and last time flying China Eastern.

After the latest battery incident at a KLM flight with safety landing in Phuket (smoke from the device) you can expect more restrictions to come.

 

The only 'restriction' that can come from that statement is;

No "battery powered devices allowed on the plane"

You call her a GF but she calls you a client. Keep that in mind when you are getting an ass beating and she walks away next time. Should help you sort out these dilemmas in the future. 

I always call my new best friend of the night, "my part time GF".

If I break the 3 night/day rule, then its "full time".

Mr. T now charges ฿1100 each way. Just picked up a new business card at their office on Soi Diana Inn yesterday. New price is reflected on the card.

Most likely the increase is do to the new toll booth on Highway 7 just outside Pattaya.

I don't use Mr. T any longer because of some (several) problems I have had, but when I did and the everything went well with the ride, I would tip the driver 200 baht.

Actually this has happened twice to me over the years coming to Thailand.

A Thai Girl has stolen my heart and after wising up, I got it back.

Just got back from my morning walk.

Not a drop as yet.

Despite his injuries, it sounds like he made a good decision.

Before she confessed, I was thinking self-inflected.

Great idea, I suggest underwater darts with spear-guns too.

 

Wouldn't they have to be registered and permitted.

If not they would taken away by the BIB.

Last month, an American soldier was attacked by a group of Thai men selling fake watches on Pattaya beach road.

The watch sellers were later arrested and charged with selling fake goods.

Following the incident police said they were working to rid Pattaya of annoying street vendors who harass foreign tourists.

I got a certificate with my 1000 baht Rolex bought here in Pattaya.......

I didn't get a certificate, but did get a 'lifetime' warranty with my watch.

Any problems with the watch just take it back for a refund or exchange.

Well, one thing for certain it couldn't possibly be driver error.  

You're correct, how could it have been the driver's error when;

18 motorcycles, 2 cars and a bicycle pulled in front of the 'Tour Bus'

 there's a lot of illegal prostitution going on in pattaya and nana/ patpong areas of bangkok, as well as market and street sellers selling fake designer goods.

Don't even think about it!!!

Not unless you want to be looking over your shoulder the rest of your life, lol.

And no , it won't be the Thais you will need to worry about.

Bangkok expat, get out now, stay out a relationship like yours is doomed.

One day you might even wake up dead.

Surachet added that 32 foreigners had been detained pending DNA tests.

I'm guessing these 32 foreigners didn't know who they were and asking for help to be identified.

There he produced a knife and robbed her of 200,000 yen, a camera, credit card and a little over 1,000 baht.

He apologized saying he needed money to pay off a debt. 

But he did apologized, so that makes it all right.

I guess the debt was owing someone yen, baht, camera and a credit card.

When you get on their website, it will have the prices for each type of car they offer.

My flight on 27 December issued the old style and those were the ones available at DMK. There again the airlines tend to keep fairly large stocks on board so it may be some time before the new ones filter through the system.

I got the new one on my Korean Air flight on December 11th.

Yes I agree a little harder to read the new one, damn it tuft getting old.

I have been using "expatcarrent" 4 time a year for the past several years. Nice newer cars, great customer service and easy reservations on their website.

I will be using them again in April.

I agree that the exchange rate is based on supply, demand and I'm sure the most important factor is the value of your home country's currency.

When I was there last week the exchange rate of the USD was up and down like a yoyo.

I think the low was 32.46 and the high was 32.72 and it change everyday except I think on Sundays.

I never had thought that the rate changes were a rip off, and high/low season doesn't have anything to do with the exchange rate.

I think the rip off is when TT is exchanging at 32.72 to the USD and the other yellow exchange place states they have the best rate at 32.50.
