What a surprise ! hahahahahaha...

So now it's no a big deal to be caught with weed it seems ?

because they are not stupid enough to be really married ?!

I also wanted one and could not find it at any shop. Had to buy a used one from a tire seller shop.

I drive regularly between nakon sawan and Chiang mai, fines are always 500thb, I usually drive around 130km, yet see others fly past me with a death wish,

 

One thing that shits me is that I've used a friends car a few times, he has a new benz, e350, and regardless of what speed I'm doing I never get fined, I asked him if he gets fined and he does not, is this normal?

Never got fine with the benz also, but I don't think that it is related ?!

I'm guessing, but I expect a person needs to be exceeding the speed limit by a "significant" amount before a ticket is issued.  Just being a few Kmh over shouldn't trigger a speeding ticket. 

 

Like on a 80 or 90Kmh road maybe 100Kmh and above triggers a ticket.   I doubt just being say 10Kmh over on say a 80Kmh road would trigger a ticket.   But as mentioned, I'm guessing....maybe some more folks who have actually got speeding tickets here in Thailand will chime in as to how much over the speed limit they were going when they got their ticket in the mail.  As mentioned in my earlier post, my ticket was for being 25Kmh over....doing 105 on a 80kmh road.

You are guessing wrong. People are caught at 121 for 120 limitation here.

What is next, where is Santa claus ?!

remember going with my ex wife to a temple near Prachuap kiri kan,as soon as we got out the car a large pack of dogs menaced us ,snarling and growling,we had to abandon our visit,a monk was there but did nothing to stop them,my wife was pretty scared by it.

Your wife must be very safe with you ! 555+

So funny to be scared by dogs, but sorry if you are just too old to protect your people.

when you have a small one, you have to be noisy to exist.

It's much cheaper and better if you just buy fresh quality loose leaf tea from China here. $40 lb. or so depending on the type and grade. 

But they are not so good for breakfast I think. Especially with milk.

We found a real champion here ????

If you do not want anything 2nd hand then you may have set a purchase criteria that is unreachable re branded laptops and that leaves one with the possibility of a no-name Chinese laptop. One can check this out in Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong. There might be somewhere equivalent in BKK to explore?

No, I found something acceptable.

Only the processor suxx but this computer will only be used to watch video and read. I have several others i7 machines for work.

That's just a useless and ridiculous statement.

I have utilised customer returns exclusively for the past ten years. The devices I have from 2008 still work and are in regular use.

 

Second user doesn't mean less reliability. That really is just a nonsense statement.

 

Use your intelligence man. Businesses will obtain high quality devices, costing 42,000 to perhaps 80,000 baht.

After three years the devices are often renewed and the old devices are taken away by recyclers.

The quality of these devices are such that the new sellers can offer a full warranty on them and because they paid nothing for the devices, can offer them at extremely attractive prices.

 

A perfect example were these Dell Latitude e7240 devices; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Latitude-E7240-Ultrabook-i5-CPU-4GB-RAM-128GB-SSD-12-Touchscreen-/232902237137 priced at 6300 baht.

 

Intel Core i5-4200U CPU 3M Cache, up to 2.6GHz

4GB DDR3 RAM • 128GB SSD Hard Disk

12" Full HD Touchscreen with Webcam

Sim card slot for data roaming

UK Keyboard

UK AC Adapter Supplied

Brand new battery fitted

 

Where else will you find a device of that specification and quality? SSD, Full HD Touchscreen, SIM card slot and quality of construction. Not only that, but they are willing to back it up with up to a 30 month warranty. 

Otherwise, you can buy a new, plasticky, disposable device at 10k+ that might just outlast it's warranty. Possibly a device that you may need to disassemble simply to get at the HDD in order to upgrade it to SSD.

If you think that buying new is better....it's your money.

 

I'll have the better device and I will pay much less for it.

 

 

As you seem to know nothing about how electronics work and age, I won't teach you.

Any computer that has been used few years has its electronic parts not performing as well as when it was new. You like it or not it is a fact that I was thinking everybody knew.

You must be the only falang in Thailand buying wine at the old price. If you want to read what wine has been increased, start from page one.

I already said that only idiots keep trying to buy the brands that they were buying and them complain about price increase !

MANY bottles are still sold 300 thb and less, so why still trying to buy the crap that had its price increased ?!

Agree 100%.  Even before the shrinking of the TM-6 form, I always carried a business-card from my condo-bldg, to present to the IO.  They were always very happy to see this - beats reading my tiny hen-scratch version on the form.

You really think that they care about anything written on this ridiculous form ?!

Once I even wrote fuxxumonkey and they didn't even see it !

Unless they stop recording for some reason Rimmer, mine was turned on and apparently working but it had stopped recording and we  (The insurance investigator and I) in spite of taking the memory  card out and him trying it in his phone contained no videos. 

 

Now maybe the  start of another thread really but what is the best Dash cam available, the last two I have had stopped working as this one did but I am at a loss for where to get a good quality one....Anyone know?  

Testing once a month that your dashcam still works is not so difficult...

You must be lucky then, because at least 3 years ago I had to pay an old fine before I could pay my motorcycle registration and insurance. When I went in to pay for my yearly registration renewal they told me to go down to the cop station to pay my old fine first and bring back the receipt. The good news is there was hardly any markup on the fine

You are the only one with such a story.

Nobody until now reported not being able to renew without paying fines.

Nothing special here, just normal, but you are not so good, you should have pushed all these idiots to give you some cash for your time and trouble.

hello, do you know any vegetarian restaurants around Pattaya ? Thank you.

Why do people rent these stupid things??

yes I also wonder ?! maybe it's the idea that people have about tourism ? Similar people who travel to capital cities around the world ? How idiot they can be to go visit the same malls that they can see anywhere else in the world and endure traffic + pollution ?!

Not even at Pattaya beach and scams have been virtually eliminated for at least 3 years. All operators now have insurance and if renters do have an accident they pay no more than 4000 Baht, which is the excess on the insurance.

Jetski mafia in Pattaya can now be filed under urban myth or history.

is it 100% sure and safe ?

I don't know which wine price has increase, but I still buy my wine bottles 300 thb just as before !

Mcdonald is so expensive now. Only hamburgers are sold at an honest price, 29 thb !

Is it the gym for retired people ?

Also interested but have never found them.
