  1. Well it used to be acceptable but you never know, the law says you must carry your passport but i never do, to lose a British passport would be a nightmare at one time it was quoted a 2000 baht fine, it would be cheaper to pay the fine
  2. I did know a guy who got banged up in that IDC place he had his phone with him, he was only there for a week before he got a flight back to the UK
  3. some people just dont turn up, make his wife the number one suspect
  4. They didnt get 30 years each, and he's only 16 days O/S more to this story as usual, I bet his girlfriend is gutted she thought she had won the lottery,
  5. I only go missing for 15 minutes she's on the phone. were are you?
  6. Down here in Phuket Grab were charging a premium on top of the fare some guest complained to me, that was before covid I don't know if they are still doing it, Last month I had to use BOLT a few times the fares are a lot less and they were all new cars one day I got a fortuna,
  7. I did have a guest earlier this year leave his iPhone in a BOLT taxi they bought it back after a couple of days
  8. I guess it's a never ending cycle you throw one out and another 2 arrive
  9. I've seen 2 or 3 new taxi app's start up in Phuket in the last few weeks, I think lots of drivers on BOLT are illegal hence the reason the cant go in the airport, you have to walk out of the airport to get one
  10. there lies the problem, the TM30 so the next time they need to extend their visa they dont bother and go into O/S, I think it would be better to drop that TM30 nonsense,
  11. I dont think there is 1000's of O/S, do you have any evidence regarding Russians, there is a lot in Rawai lets see
  12. we have two good friends and both are pharmacist they are usually my first port of call i pulled a mussel in the middle of my back a few weeks ago, I don't know the name of the tablets she gave me but they knocked me out for the night,
  13. everything in one room to me means a Studio,
  14. THE PLAN, The plan will also utilize smart cars which are equipped with advanced camera face recognition technology connected to the Thai Immigration Database constantly scanning faces of pedestrians and bystanders to identify those on overstay. This technology had been utilized successfully in busy tourist areas that also had many problems with overstaying like Phuket and Pattaya.
  15. They did do in the past a few years back I knew two guys who I never thought would be on O/S handed themselves in, never seen them since
  16. They could post a list of overstayers they must have them details or even how many farang are on overstay, but they never have, so do they know or not? Im sure they could make a list of each province how many farangs, I dont think it's that many,
  17. the immigration are right on it even in the UK, my daughter owns 4 kebab and pizza take aways she got raided the other week by about 12 immigration officers, everyone was legal but you dont need the grief,
  18. My question is would you buy a condo that didn't have a pool? Not many people use the pools we have a condo with 2, 25m pools hardly anybody there, yet the project is fairly busy judging by the amount of cars and bikes parked, It was the same when i lived in Bangkok many years ago,
  19. a lot of construction sites will grind to a halt especially in Phuket
