Noone "deserves" that for just walking into a seven, buying something and quietly leaves minding his own business and had he done so he would have probably staggered home to sleep it off with just a hangover. But he didnt and aparently was still being aggressive to the ambulance attendants trying to help him. Dont know where you live but In my world there are consequences for drunken idiots who mouth off. If you cant handle your alcohol then dont drink and being drunk at 5am says he cant. "A mans got to know his limitations" dirty Harry.

Whilst I have met many affable Brits I would happily have a beer with, Patts does tend to attract a lot of the lower end brain dead morons from Britania. That said I have met loud mouthed idiots from my own country that I wouldn't give the time of day. Clothes maketh the man and anyone who knows Thais would know you are judged to some degree on how you dress and dressing like a homeless drunk tramp at 5.10 am and most Thais will look down on you devoid of any respect for the lower end pissed up moron you are. Being a loud mouth to boot to a group of young blokes drinking alcohol shows a level of stupidity that has been suitably rewarded.

I dont disagree with you but I doubt anybody on T/V will be able to fix the problem.

Ever notice those holier than thou expats are not above paying a "fine" to make a "problem" go away?

After wondering how many bars were in the Pattaya area I tried to find out. The best estimate I could find said there were over 2,500 bars in Pattaya but with a disclaimer saying nobody really knows. It's inevitable some are continuously opening and closing. Im sure many of us have had a fantasy of owning a small successful bar in Pattaya in our more drunken moments. For any dreamer out there you could open a bar populated with girls and lady boys and call it Pot Luck. Feel free to use my brilliant idea, no thanks neccessary.

Mitsubishi Electric A/C service Ph No 027637000.

Has it ever worked properly? If you send me the make and model, room dimensions including window size unless just standard and any heat loads in room if any, plus wall construction and direction faced and I will check size. (I am a retired HVACR engineer). My wife's Brother owns a very reputable A/C service company and is an official panasonic/ mitsubishi service agent in BKK. Some A/C models have specific known faults and he may be able to advise. It is hard to analyse from afar but will give it a go of you pm me with detail. No charge of course.

Cash will be around for many years to come. I always keep cash on me. All you need is a glitch in the banks software, a virus, the internet down, or a power outage and you are in trouble. Not many businesses are going to let you pay later when the problem is fixed. Bangkok bank had a problem with its app only last weekend.

Admittedly a bit tongue in cheek but i did try a tropical pizza in an RSL in Redcliffe that had banana on and it was surprisingly good. I cant remember the other toppings.

Why doesnt Ebay or Amazon operate in Thailand?

Must try I haven't had a decent pizza since I left Australia. My mouth is watering just at the thought of a deep pan crust with a vegemite base tipped with mushrooms, kalamata olives, capsicum, salami, cheddar cheese topped with banana mango and pineapple... Heaven!

I would prefer that it was classified as a Thai only industry. At the moment thai wives or proxies are used as a front for foreigners to set up many of these drug businesses. There are enough dregs from around the world already here without another drug to attract even more dealers. I have no problem with stoners smoking dope as long as they keep it in the privacy of their own home.

Quite a contrarian aren't you and like most negative people no constructive ideas only a negative unhelpful post. Why bother to post such a petty reply? I guess I will never understand people that post nothing of value just for the sake of posting. No doubt your parents have come to lament not availing themselves of contraception in earlier years.

Very inventive idea. A good lateral thinker. Unlike a few others with negative comments but sadly one will always encounter the negative norms of the world Anyway thanks for all who posted a helpful comment. I will leave my baby with my son to look after. I haven't the heart to sell her.

Does anyone have or no of any riders with a Yamaha V star? Doesnt matter what size. I have an 1100 in Oz and am seriously thinking of importing it. Yes fools rush in where angels fear to tread and yes I know it wont be cheap. I have been told that it might be possible to bring it in piece by piece and rebuild it here. If nothing else I will enjoy the rebuild as a hobby. Has anyone tried bringing in a motorcycle in parts or has anyone gone to the trouble of importing a whole bike. Yes I do realise It is going to be a lot of messing around but I do love my bike and can afford the most likely outrageous cost. It is 20 years old and in mint condition with low Ks, so I'm hoping that will help. I you're going to say don't do it, please dont waste your breath and save the .2 grams of carbon each response emits. If I were a sensible person who would take sensible advice I wouldn't be considering it, So feel free to walk away in disgust at my stupidity. I'm hoping there is someone else that does things against the odds a fraternal brother(or sister) in stupidity if you will. Or there is an importer that can do it for me.

Yes that is correct but from what i understand from immigration, it is the hotels responsibility to fill out a TM30 but your responsibility to make sure they have done it. I know that doesn't make any sense but TIT.

Im old and the TM30 has got me confused. If a hotel fills out a TM30 should i get a copy and do i keep it for 90 day reporting? I have only just got my retire visa and on going to immigration to register my address in Bangkok. (My visa was obtained in Pattaya) I was fined for not having a TM30 from the hotel in Pattaya. I was given the option of getting the TM30 from the hotel and coming back to Chaeng Wattana but it was easier just to pay the fine rather than go all the way back again and wasting another day and money. The return Taxi fare was more than the fine.

I tend to use the train to phaya thai and then the BTS. At least I know what time I will arrive. I'd rather spend the price difference on a few drinks at the bar when i arrive.

After exhausting most avenues regarding a visa, I think my only option now is a retirement visa. I am thinking of just going on a 45 day visa free and applying in Bangkok. I dont have a thai bank account and from some that has seemed to have proven a bit of a hassle. Is it better just to do it all through an agent and if so is there anywhere here on TV that has any reccommended agents? I have looked on line but there seems to be a great discrepency between agent fees and their reliability is unknown.

Thanks i sent them a message.

Has anyone heard of Baan Thai immigration solutions in Bangkok?

I dont know if this is the right place for this question but does anyone know how a Visa agent can open a bank account on your behalf and without even needing you to deposit the required800K/400K? I am asking if anyone really knows how the do it, not its just a scam etc.

It does seem strange. He is 25, his daughter is 2 his wife is 2 years younger so she became pregnant at 20 and he was 22. He came here pre covid so 2019 at the latest which mean he was around 22. So the time line suggests he must've come slightly earlier say 2018 which means he was 21. If that is the case, he left school at 17, came to Thailand 4 years later, met a thai woman married her/got her pregnant by age 23. He accrued 350,000 USD before he arrived because he wouldn't get a loan in Thailand in that space of time and would need cash to buy the house in his wifes name. So in 4 or 5 years he saved at least $350K USD from age 17 which means $70K USD saved per year. In that time he has come to understand all facets of thai women and thai culture which suggests along the way he must've learnt to speak read and write Thai at the very least. In four years or in Thailand he understands why most foreign males are in Thailand even those that have been here before he was born. First time I've heard of someone who was sigmund freud warren buffet and brad pitt all in one... I believe it. I wonder perchance if he is related to Borat.

I think the point missed is a government that itself is illegitimate has no right to judge a democratically elected government. As far as the courts go how many government politicians have been removed from office? Is it mere coincidence they were all opposition politicians? Then there is a certain Thai minister that was convicted of drug offences in relation to importing 3.2 kilograms of heroine in Australia, something that would attract the death sentence in his own country. He served 4 years in jail after pleading guilty and assisting police. When questioned over his conviction in Thailand he stated he spent time in state sponsored accommodation while acting as a "witness." Yet he serves as deputy minister while they pursue Yingluck. BTW where is red bulls son these days? https://www.smh.com.au/national/embattled-thai-minister-admits-to-court-sentence-in-australia-20190916-p52rxe.html

Thanks LG. I love the old SRT line so knowing the line wont be finished before me is good news.
