5800 X 14 days = 81,2000

 

my expenses approximately.  not including one time costs like motorcycle, scooter:

 

90,000 X 12 months disposable income = 1,080,000.00

 

1,080,000.00 / by 81,200 = 13.3

 

so I am worth 13.3 Indian tourists.

 

 

 

 

 

Why would you want to be classed like an injun??

I have noticed that the different immigration offices have their own interpretations of the various rules and regulations, even down to individual officers themselves having different opinions.

This could be confusing .

Will the new new head of immigration be able to get all offices and officers working from the same page?

 

Sorry couldn't resist. ????

confusing !!! where are YOU....this is Thailand   so nothing should be simple.....unlike other countries

None; police and Service personnel are exempt from the laws governing the ordinary folk.  Will an insurance company pay out if the driver is negligent?

HE is negligent look at photos and read the report.....should have gone to bed earlier.....and get the normal 7-8 hours sleep people need......!!!

Hope they will sort out the "whoops"

 "ruts"

and of course the potholes.

 

Would also be nice if the put the roundabout back in...traffic flowed much easier..though it did cause "some"  confusion to "some" motorists ????

lights are the best THAIS do not know what  to do on a roundabout......there is only one and that is Dolphin roundabout and that is terrible....

why was this work NOT publisised ???

Yes, possibly one of the longest scam construction projects on a road that basically takes you up to a highway where you have to travel a mile back to do a U turn to carry on going south..... 

 

In 2005/6 this was a narrow lane that ran from Soi 7 down through delightful woodland to Soi 9 ? if I remember rightly. At that time Thrapaya road looked like it had been carpet bombed and was a health hazard with some seriously deep pot holes and excavations with no signs or barriers.

 

Just up from the TMB bank was a ditch full of green slimy water running out of a drain that was full of frogs. This was never properly fixed or covered over and now has a row of shop units and 7/11 over the top of it. The paving slabs still lift and wobble at this location.

 

The countless randomly installed bus stops, some just a few yards apart and others not near anything along its route, on a road with no bus service sums up a lot about the planning here. 

 

But like the songs say about all roads in LoS...This is the road to nowhere and the road to hell....

its called ENJOYING oneself....a new game called "make it to your destination" without breaking any bones or damaging ones vehicle....!!!

May I classify these TAT messages as "Our wishes must become your command"?

First it were the farang.

Then it were the Russians.

After them the Chinese.

Now the Indians.

Strange thing is that all the group's after the farang seem to come once and don't return.

The farang tended to be return visitors, stayed for 2-3 weeks and spent their money in the local economy.

The Russians took over the local economy, profit went back to Russia.

The Chinese came for 4-5 days, spent nothing in the local economy, all money stayed in China or went back to China.

Time will tell how long Indians will spend in Thailand, how their holidays will be organised, if they will be repeat visitors

Thing is, not much will stream into the local economy.

i spent 1750 filling my truck up that was all in one day....

Non of these spend the amount quoted.....who and where did these figures come from???

555  These predictions are getting funnier and funnier!  Sure there will be an increase of some sort if you pour lots of cash into promoting LOS.  But to present pie in the sky numbers as hard facts is assuming people are stupider than they appear.  We may look stupid, but looks can be deceiving!  Well most of the time.  BTW, when they get to the theme park or zoo will they be paying the farang price or the Thai price? 

depends on, if have thai driving licence.....

go buy in a shop....tesco, powerbuy, baan beyond, home pro etc.....

First of all the experts erecting the sign will never clean up the place because they aren't trained for it nor do they have experience in cleaning up !!!

 

Second. The rubbish was probably dumped after they erected the sign.

 

Thais can't read Chinese or Thainese. Most of them can't read at all.

A Thai would never rat out another Thai when dumping. What's in it for the rat? No money to be made!!

there are signs saying NO speeding ....who takes any notice....!!
