One travelling on the wrong side of the road maybe?

Or many times Thais will not turn on their headlights at night on bikes and their cars. They think that they are "Saving their battery".

An old Boxster   

Even an old Boxster would be worth about four to six million baht here with a fake blue book. If a car is older then 10 years old then it can not be imported to Thailand even if you  wanted to do so legally paying the three hundred and twenty five percent tax..A friend of mine just sold his 80s model Corvette for three and a half million baht and it had a legal blue book.

Hospital staff there is quite often swamped. So no surprise somebody who doesn't seem to need emergency care is left waiting for some time.

The UK government require a UK guarantor before helping which is normal. Any comments about travel insurance is superfluous, all been said so many times before.

Many times The UK requires a relative to sign a statement of repayment over a set number of time. My mate went back to England with a head injury and they required a licensed nurse to travel with him reserving two extra seats with life support equipment on the flight.. The cost is tremendous.

THis is really something for Russia as up to now they did not have enough fuel to have any war games like this.Maybe the Chinese are helping out here.

Maybe .... there'll be a coup or something in Thailand.

 

We already had one in 2014 in case you missed it, and it didn't hurt the Baht at all. Nor did the one back in 2006 as far as I can recall.

We have had a great many coups over the years and that is not what effects the baht to most currencies.The status of The Australian GNP and other national policies with Thailand are the reasons that the baht to The Aussie dollar changes.With the Thailand people making more money their cost of living goes up as does ours along with it.Since a lot of Farangs are on a fixed income we have to cut back.I can no longer afford to play golf as often as I used to and have to cut down my Pattaya trips from BKK .And like most Farangs I truly do not want to go to what was my home .After all these years my friends are here not there.I could not enjoy the conversations that I have there as I do here with all the different nationalities while meeting new ones everyday.No I will just tightened my belt and stay here.

Disgusting

 The resons not to choose Thailand increase almost daily.    

Cambodia seems to be leading in the creation of a "dictatorship" in Southeast Asia with Myanmar catching up  but Thailand does not seem far back..When it gets like Cambodia I am gone..

Now here's a thoughtful guy, stopped the car BEFORE going to sleep!

Just a normal Thai dummy in the morning traffic.

Good idea as there are fewer parking places in the BKK area where one might park to go in and get a coffee to go or to enjoy there.. Another Idea would be for,,,,,,,,,,Hummmm,,,,No,Not for here as I will save that one for my Thai family to use..

After the  elections there will be fewer of these gambling raids .You will notice that in all these raids there is the military involved.The police will not be raiding any of these gambling areas or all night clubs and bars on their own because that is where they get their money to pay for their new motor bikes,Benz cars and other luxuries .While the military is still in charge these raids will happen.It also is to show the police who really is in charge.

Who in their right mind would trust a couple of complete strangers to test drive their car alone without accompanying  them?  A little bit naïve me thinks... 

At least demand that you hold their ID cards or passport.

I don't think that a permanent resident has no more rights or privileges then I do with my Non :O: visa  on  retired.status.

Hitchhiking is very normal to do in western countries, it can bring you free to far destinations. I also did many times when I was younger and it does not mean " No Money ", because if I did not get a ride, I took the train or other transportation.

You are right sir.In the 1950s and 1960s as a young Marine  I hitchhiked all over the  US both in and out of uniform.I had great adventures and learned a lot about people.Would do it all over again if I were younger.

As with proving a car ownership. Has anyone checked her vin number ?

I can see it now ,either the government will start making money by "licensing" the drug dealers  or let the cops start selling all those drugs that have been intercepting from the importers coming into Thailand

.

There are a lot of drug"experts" out there but the police keeps throwing them in jail.

Even TV sleuths are stumped by this one!

It is easier to"stump" a Thai official or policeman then it is to stump most 4 year old children outside of Asian.

The man took intimate photos of his wife, then when she refuses to do what he wants he threatens to post them on social media, disgusting creep.

This man was sitting in the courts in judgment over others, bloody pathetic.

Normal for any Thai that considers himself above others.Wait a minute , That could be describing any Thai male ha.

WOW, The same remarkable medical unit that in the past announced their cure for AIDS and Ebola virus will now be able to detect Swine Flue in the air when checking incoming tourist from China. WOW !

Sorry there is no time in the next 12 hours to answer that because you would have to go back about 86 years ago and look at the history when los was no longer an absolute monarchy.

RIP Myanmar woman who just wanted to live, another victim of the do nothing Thai government and police.  

It is the normal ,stupid,ignorant,driving tactics of the every day driver on any roads..Until Thailand has a proper police (with true knowledge of highway safety) patrolling the highways and roads of Thailand this will never change..50 years from now ? Maybe .

All this AH done is place most of the watches THAT HE BOUGHT HIS SELF WITH ILLEGIBLE MONEY in a private vault . He will buy a new one to wear until a few months from now then its back to showing off again with them.
