Not when she's schizophrenic and bi-polar.

That would describe a lot of Thais

How come the Thais didn't beat the crap out of him?

Signs of earlier respray at the front, I'll wager this is not the first time he's shunted the car. Why is it such vehicles are often seen in the hands of idiots who can't drive? Porsche's are unpredictable, easy to get a case of the tail wagging the dog. Looks like he spun it all on his own.... genius.

Interesting, so it is possible to temporarily import a car into Thailand.

NO cruelty...it's confirmed, everything is as it seems...move along....

Yeah, sure, just like there is no prostitution.

I have not been to this particular zoo, but have seen in other places that the animals are used (abused) to make money for the Thais who own the place.

Animals do not belong in prisons.

If indeed genuine, hopefully he has enough brain, to stay with her in the hospital and show all the love and care to avoid being blamed 

And pick up the hospital bill

What baffles me everytime i read these kind of tragedies is the amount of people falling from balconies every year in Thailand. There is no country in the world where so many people drop down from a balcony. In most cases it was stupidity, drunk or drugs involved. I can not believe such. Why don't they just improve those balconies, so people stop falling from them?

Be baffled no longer.... In Thailand it usually comes down to, did they fall or were they pushed?

Is this the latest TAT tourism promotion video? Over one million views. Wait for it, news flash coming up as Taxi driver returns customers wallet.

The thing that gets me with Thais, it takes so little to get em fired up. Land of smiles indeed.

Girlfriend of Frenchman jumps... were they playing leapfrog?

Thais are amazingly tough, how did she survive? I hope she lives to tell her tale... which I suspect will be most interesting.

Have you noticed that when Farang falls the BIB say it's suicide, but when a Thai falls......

Whether he's to blame or not, our Frenchman had better have deep pockets.

very bad timing as the Iranians have a few things on the go...

Looks like they are about to get a bloody nose from the Americans.

As for Boris cocking up negotiations for her release.... is he fit to be Prime Minister? And how would he fare negotiating Brexit?

I am trying to imagine what would happen if drive thru was introduced at CW Bkk?!!! .... Hmmm, think we are all moving to Phuket.

Bought and sold loads of cars here over the years ( taxes etc ) this is the very first time I’ve heard of unpaid fines having to be paid.

Is this first hand info?

I never pay my tickets, straight in the bin!

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

Yes JaiLai, this is first hand info, actually happened to me, buy then anything can happen in Disneyland. I bought a car and the Police office in the Chatuchak LTO gave me all the previous owners fines, which I had to pay if I wanted it registered in my name. Later, I confronted the previous owner who denied all.

This being Thailand, I suspect every office is different!

The LTO I now use has no Police dept.

In China I saw an identical tractor / trailer being used as a hearse. We come into this world with nothing and leave the same way!

I hate to sound negative and cynical but seriously, did anyone expect this new system would actually work the way it is supposed to?

 

 

They haven't even arrived in the country and already they are experiencing tearing their hair out. Wait till they actually get here!

I just find it ludicrous that the French now own British water and electric companies! French EDF energy even charge less than British Gas and give better service.

Memory does not serve me well, but I recall reading that even London buses were run by the frogs!

And now the frogs are telling us what we can or cannot do over Brexit!

The Brits colonised Singapore, Malaysia and Burma. The French; Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Why did neither go into Thailand? And what would Thailand have turned out like today if they had been colonised?

Some say they left it as a buffer between them. Others say they took one look at the Thais and said.... we are not going in there!

This is the most frequent scenario that they encounter at the PI firms in Pattaya and Phuket.  I know many a farang who are waiting for their bargirl spouses to get visas to go to Sweden, UK, etc.  Anyway, as I a say this, I mean at least 10.  Out of those 10, I only know ONE who even SEEMED remotely faithful to her overseas husband.  He paid for this girl to open her own nail salon out on an island while she waited for him.  No idea how much money this senseless fool was sending this girl.  Granted this girl was a complete stunner, but come on...

Some of these girls have several guys on the go at the same time. Can't blame them, their life is hard and if Farang is stupid is it her fault?

We will never surrender our islands.... Winston Churchill.

I actually wonder if we had surrendered our pathetic little freezing cold wind blasted island and kept Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Burma..... wouldn't we now be better off?

Holey Bakery?..... I thought the holy of 'holies' was to be found in the Nana Plaza.

And why is Da Roadrunner suspicious that the original post reads like an ad'?

Finally, he had enough of hospital overcharging.

You've actually quoted what Bumber said, but I agree we shouldn't have allowed so much foreign ownership. 

I only extracted part of what he said that was relevant to my post.

The Germans bought Rolls Royce and Bentley and the Indibums Jaguar. Should never have been allowed. Have you noticed, when the French or the Germans do something, they keep it in house, providing employment and profit for their own countries. Compare that to the Brits.... power station built by Chinese. High speed train... couldn't we build our own etc etc ad infinitum. Brit Gov't sold the country down the tubes. And now Brexit. The sun has truly set on the Brit' Empire. Roadrunner gets off soapbox.... ends rant.

They are everywhere, things are not what they used to be. Sigh.

Police doubtless could not arrest the he/she for theft or prostitution as neither exist on Walking Street. But could arrest the Lao for being a Farang without a work permit. Amazing Thailand.

Some Land Transport offices, like Chatuchak, have a Police department. You'll get pulled when you go to do your tax. Same happens when buying a vehicle from someone else, you go to transfer it into your name only to find that the seller had unpaid tickets.

Da Roadrunner uses an office which lacks a Police dept. Just as well with my record! If I get a ticket I just bin it, isn't Thailand wonderful.
