I've done the walk through the park too. Not for money reasons but for exercise after 8 hours on a bus, unless of course it's raining and then I get a taxi to my hotel.

Living here beats the hell out of living in the UK, which is why I am now in my 15th year in Thailand.

Paying 18k for a 1 year extension is I'm my opinion a very good deal. I know people who pay over 20k. Last week I met a Swiss guy, completely clueless about visas who told me he paid 23k for a 3 month TV...

Except the dim witted IO is Thai and will gleefully point out the error and barr you entry.

There are plenty of Thai tailors that make made to measure shirts for less than 2000 baht. Especially in Pattaya.

My marriage extensions take between 1.5-2 hours, certainly not all day as you suggest.

A quiet night time location and free parking are my top 2. E.g, April Suites in Pattaya. Budget between 800 - 1500 per night inclusive. Obviously clean with good housekeeping and staff.

Additional private car insurance is not required to renew your annual road registration, the compulsory government insurance is issued and paid for at the same time as the new 1 year windscreen sticker.

That's what happens when you deal with the devil.

Another example of a Neanderthal in the schools of Thailand which is why the completely useless rote system is still in use. These people don't teach they preach and preach utter nonsense.

Another fine example of corrupt junta appointed cronies foiling the will of the people to keep the guilty in power.

Absolutely outrageous and these military Muppets and their billionaire cronies know no shame when it comes to their contempt for the lives of ordinary citizens. Meanwhile they waste billions on submarines with no engines and other army boys toys.

I know plenty of girls here in Isaan who work for local businesses and they get nowhere near 30k a month. Most Thai people manage on half that and many more on less and keep a family together. For example their electricity bills are often 500 baht a month or less running 1 fridge and 1 TV and some lighting. A bank manager with a University degree will be making 35 - 45k a month or thereabouts depending on seniority, to put in some perspective.

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour again from people who allow children to be repeated victims. No accountability anywhere in Thailand. They should all be locked up.

No doubt anyththing published from the grossly incompetent and corrupt NACC would expose just how bad they are at their jobs by protecting the guilty. How can they even possibly over rule a Supreme court decision...

It is well known the BiB are prone to only operate in the hours of sunlight as anything else inhibits there ability to function. Unless a photo opportunity presents itself.

More evidence of the Thai culture that the guilty survive at the detriment of those who chose a purer path in life. Where is the the office of bhuddism? Silent as usual.

Coming from Muppets that bought bomb detectors which were the equivalent of waving a piece of wood over a egg to determine if there was any explosive material present is a complete joke. In other words the word detect dosent exist in Thailand, everything is reactive. Just look at the chaos in Pattaya with the Arab s***

The Muppets do whatever they like when it suits them, part of the price of living here...

Fook in hell. They cannot even repair the roads let alone go into space. I guess there is too much spaced out thinking going on with the new ganja laws...

Oh dear now the Indians have lost control, chapatis at dawn. Who would have thought it...

I fail to see why these law breakers aren't just rounded up and deported with a black listed passport because they are causing more harm to residents and other tourists with their selfish behaviour than they are worth to the economy.

Drunk Brit's abroad, these scenes used to be a regular occurrence in Spain and Cyprus and in the Mediterranean generally years ago, it would appear that it's now been exported over here. Sad.

And nothing for those that lost their livelihoods but plenty available for those who already feed from the trough. Absolutely disgusting.

Most lawyers will make a will for you and act as the executor.
