Well i didn't go with a medical as the logistics of getting one before was not possible for me. I went to a different Transport  office (same province)  this time, as the main one before, refused to accept the yellow book, and insist on the letter from immigration and even they tell me its not needed but TIT. I got there eventually at 11 am GPS was wrong and google maps. As i said before the missus had spoken to them before on the phone. They checked all my Docs and was told all OK, now you have to make an appointment for next week, when it was pointed out i could have been told that over the phone, she lost face and started shouting at my wife that she had to check first, that my docs were Genuine, so now I must make the 3.5 hrs. trip again next week and be there at 1pm. Upside yellow book accepted, No medical required and now I know where it is.

When hubby finds out about this, he will probably regret that *James* didn't chuck her in the Klong. ( maybe a re-enactment could solve that)

Quite a lot of posters here cheat on their wife, and they cannot say too much when the Wife does likewise 

Bit different getting him to her house with an 11 yr old daughter there watching TV, who's daddy could well be the falang, and probably paid for the house.

So she was cheating on her farang hubby? This i can not believe, as all are faithful and loving wives

But she was different.

They need a catchy slogan, something like 'come to Koh Tao - we promise to try and not kill you'. That should do the trick...

Or what about a Christmas special- Santa and his Hoe, Hoe, Hoe.-

It's pretty much the only country in Asia that allows gun ownership (for citizens). Of course many progressives and anti-gun people won't like this, but it's true. Contrast this to China where the death penalty is imposed for illegal possession of a gun and Vietnam, where length jail sentences apply.

Seems China and Vietnam have got it right then. Do you really like to hear about gun deaths everyday? you are calling that sensible? You need help if you do.

Then I hope it works out like that for me.

There's another thread about online learning, but I am not sure if it's necessary for renewals. Luckily the office is just a couple of miles away from us.

Just got the missus to call my local Transport Office, my D L ran out in April, They have told her not to worry as the Amnesty for renewal runs until the 30th of Sept! but can renew it now, and i "Might need to get a medical" so long ago (6yr) now that i can not remember, if the medical is mandatory or not, on renewal any one Know? as even they seem vague ????

So the father thought it was OK for the kid to play with

the gun,maybe wanted him to be a hitman when he grew up,

RIP little one,

regards Worgeordie

Of course it's OK for kids to play with guns in Thailand, they even have a special day for it.

Where i live, in the town they have footpaths, the problem is that the curbs are 30+ cm high with no ramps and side soi's every 15 mt most people walk in the road traffic side, of parked cars, dragging suit cases and pushing strollers. To blame others for bad footpaths is passing the buck, as normally in my experience it is pure bad construction done on the cheapest quote, and best commission.

Not just Bangkok, it is NOT the center of the universe. 

And nor is Pattaya.

As everyone will tell you every I/O run their own rules This is my list from Trat and is IMO one of the most stringent This is the list. (they also tried to dissuade me from changing as they also don't like all the extra work, their work is also up for more scrutiny from above)

These kids been riding one way or the other for their entire lives. Many ride up front when young, they got a bird's eye view of all of it.

Carried home from hospital after birth.

My wife was shown by her driving school how to read the tyre date regardless of KL, and told after 4 yrs to change them, it was me that showed her the wear bars, having said that, applying tyre silicon to the walls regularly and park in shade when poss. helps to protect against UV, i now just buy the cheap tyres and will change after 4 yrs.

how to find the wear bars

Built mine 3 yrs ago 2600 per sq mt + materials, back then i had to buy all the wood for the form work, but now have been told they hire steel for the form-work.

that the newly built road left four metres on the side, which is not enough to build a full-sized bus stop that requires at least 6.25 metres. So the modern bus stop was built occupying only 2.5 metres.

So why didn't they build it 4 mt. sorry that would be logic forgot where i was for a minute. 

If my daughter had rang me with that info, i would have gone straight to her.

Having said that these child rapes now seem to be happening on an almost daily basis.

If I didn't like it more here than my country of origin, I would move back. 

I don't like double pricing at national parks, 

And I find it difficult to tolerate the complete lack of driver training, and road safety. 

It even annoys me when sometimes a blue plastic pipe springs a leak, or our pump makes funny noises..... 

But apart from all that, I absolutely love being here in the land of smiles, and wouldn't have it any other way. 

How can one not get annoyed, yesterday employed a guy to cut of a few limbs from a tall tree, which were also growing into HIS power lines, he managed to bring down my internet cable, pulling the cable clips off the house and power pole, while he was re-attaching to the house he broke the washing machine i spent 2 hrs repairing it, and i had to pay him 300 baht about 3 hrs work which he went of to spend leaving me to repair said W/M and my internet cable 1.5 mt lower. ????  or ????

T rust I n T hailand

Very sad that he took his own life, but i can not make further comment with out knowing why his wife left him, was it just becoz of money/ no job? or other reasons?

R.I.P.

Move to your girls village i'm sure they will look after you 

In these pics They forgot to draw the wheel chairs and other disabled people stuck at the bottom of that huge staircase.  Trust In Thailand init
