There is a system that in Europe goes back to the Middle Ages but that you could use, simply follow it and she always ask for the money back, sometimes it works.

Next time, seeing that you are a teacher and that you are reading and writing, make a written loan in front of two witnesses who sign in accordance with Thailand law.

gosh i love thai officials. never-ending source of humor

That's why the country is called first L.O.S

All manual work that deserves a profit is prohibited, so yours is just a hobby.

Different if your wife pays you gentle massages, but this is not foreseen in the law.

So you continues to quietly do your hobby

I am sure it was already a nightmare last year

not sure for 2 years ago in Pattaya, but it was a

big concern in Chiang Mai area 3 or 4 years ago already

and it seems to be worse years after years

it coud be linked to the fall on the rice price after the end

of the Taksin rice schem with the farmers skiping in mass

to sugar cane instead

You are right that this is the reason for the increase in pollution so rapidly these last two years, the sugar cane fields are being burned to save work. This poses a great health risk and is now the tombstone for tourism and expatriates.

Look out for the following:

Sudden new wealth of a few people. New flashy cars, houses etc.

The bank would do well to announce that they will make good any losses, otherwise there will be a bigger <deleted> queue tomorrow of people wanting to empty their accounts.

Banks are not charitable operations so there is no chance they will repay unless those who have invested have documents signed by a bank manager on headed paper and bank stamp. I doubt that it is appropriate to read the news will have the documents of non-existent fantasies or waste paper.

And you haven't mentioned the pollution caused by cars, especially the big SUVs and pick ups.

Do not tell the Thais, the bigger and more polluting they are, the happier they are. The protection of the environment only concerns us poor Farangs

May I remind you that it wasn't mine? That's not a car for Thailand, such cars want a German Autobahn without limits. 300 km/h + and the tunnel view must be awesome. 

 And no pothole on the roads

Hi Somchair,

 

IMO if you're going to drive in Thailand, might as well learn here. There's a decent school in Chang Phuak in Chiang Mai, I took 5-day motorbike course and passed a driving license test no problem. Never had a driving license before, but I had a 49cc scooter when I was 15 y.o., so maybe that helped ???? 

There's Honda school too for advanced riding (off-road, dirt bikes etc.). Can't advice for other locations.

 

To reduce the chance of accident by 90%:

• Don't drive in Bangkok
• Don't drive after dark
• Don't drive on main highways where cars are speeding and not paying attention
• Always give way to idiots on the road
• Try to avoid areas with many shirtless drunk farangs on motorbikes

 

I'm driving a scooter for 4+ years and never had a road accident (fingers crossed). Just always keep your eyes on the road and don't be too cocky.

 

I don't think riding a bicycle in Thailand is safer. At least when I'm riding my scooter, car drivers notice me and give way. Bike lanes and quiet Soi's are OK for cycling, but not the roads.

If I may add, look with two eyes in front and two eyes above all behind

You are completely wrong, there are no schools that teach you how to go through traffic in Thailand, no one knows the highway code and it's all a matter of experience to guess what those around you will do now so only if you have a good sense of survival welcome to Thailand

I hate electronic money.

"She ran to get the security guard but it was too late."

Why girlfriend no before  close " off " all  and only after ask help ? Because she know well where the man, or maybe the brain no work or work too well ?

The increase in pollution is increasing throughout Thailand to worrying levels, now this statement convinces me more and more that nothing will be done to contain pollution in Thailand for the next few years and no serious action will be taken therefore every day that passes the Thailand becomes less and less attractive until important repatriation decisions have to be made or to another more welcoming country if all this continues to worsen each year, the limit of tolerance of this galloping pollution is not infinite.

One would expect the banks to be keen to get them off their books, they aren't realtors, Are they limited to what is owed on the property or fixated on an inflated value? Did they originally lend too much on the property? 

The banks will never lower their prices only if the building falls into disrepair because they have to write in their books the loss of their inability to value the customer.

Ministerial aide Dr Sophon Mekthon told the press that the first members of the public to get the vaccine would be Thai people over 60, the chronically sick with diseases like diabetes, lung infections and high blood pressure. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Test the vaccines on the weaker population, if they don't die Anutin will take the vaccine

And for at least two years Tesco has been missing many items that arrive occasionally, probably a lack of organization in supplies, Macro is better organized in the supply generally if an item is missing it is restocked a few days later.

Interesting scheme like in Singapore where the government has already handed over all data to the police
