I was talking to a guy the other day and he is leaving Thailand next week, he said he's had enough, he likes to come for extended holidays, they were staying in Surin and moved to Rawai, him and his wife don't like the area no more, 

He didn't actually say but I know where he is staying and it's full of Russians. 

Maybe this driving people away, the other week I know one farang moved off the island and another one I see down the beach in the mornings next month he is also moving to Khao Lak,

My misses can drive herself shopping in the future.

They ain't gonna get me on that one!

I get the midget to drive everywhere these days 

The question is, did he have a work permit? 

In years gone by farangs have been arrested at Phuket airport for dropping people off, one I remember was stood there in full view being given money from the passengers, idiot should have made them pay him in the car, 

I see also an English guy got arrested at a temple in Karon for working as a tour guide, when will they ever learn? 

Some Norwegian woman got arrested for driving tourist to the pier on that island 

I know this is bout Phuket, whats happening in Bangkok? 

On the island there is few car rent with some High end cars, all top of the range, 

Probably grassed up by a Legal nursery on the island, not easy getting licenses for that kind of business, plus the work permits 

I met a couple of Russian families last year who were leaving Thailand the next day, their plans where to go to Turkey and pick their cars up and drive to Spain where they had family and friends, they intended to go to South America and maybe end up in Argentina, one of the wifes was pregnant, if the baby is born in Argentina then the baby get citizenship and so do the parents, they said here is just nonsense, 

I would say don't pi$$ the farangs off too much, there is many other places they can go and camp out,

Flying a kite in a public place is illegal

 

 

 

Flying your kite is illegal all over the world, 

It failed to mention they rounded up a few Burmese also, 

If you ever see a Thai in your bar and you dont know him, then dont move, 

This is getting ridiculous now, even Thai people are questioning what's going on, one day overstay you don't even get fined at the airport for one day, most of my neighbours are Thais and one asking me this morning, stupid, 

As one said to me they have bigger fish to fry in Thailand catch the real criminals, I would say drugs is a bigger problem in Phuket, they only catch the street dealers,

knew of a Belgian guy in Pattaya who owned a popular bar, he fell out with his missis and she ended up with a Thai cop who obviously had intentions of becoming involved. one day they "caught" him talking to a customer,  the charge was "entertaining"

There has been a few mad things like that over the years here in Phuket, One farang guy who's wife had a travel shop and he had it advertised on his truck, he got stopped, another guy got stopped driving a mini van, not allowed said the police luckly for him he didnt have any passengers i the minivan, maybe he had just dropped them off at the airport, the list goes on. 

I'm getting worried about driving my truck around, it's got Isuzu badges on it,
