Road signs will make no difference whatsoever. The school near me has a signed limit of 30km. I'll lay odds that the limit is not adhered to 100%. No parking in the hard shoulder. Will that be obeyed? The list is endless. What they need in my opinion is tougher fines and the enforcement of collecting those fines. I think the majority of fines are not paid.
How do you get a good cleaner in Thailand? Our cleaner is <deleted> but my wife won't fire her even though she says the same. Our cleaner lives in a shack with her hubby and children and has no personal pride which is obvious from the state of her residence.
Unfortunately out in the rural areas the laws are not going to be obeyed by the police or the locals. The police are integrated within the families through marriage etc that they're not going to rock the boat and upset them. Family come first in Thailand.
They have what was known in my day as 'short, back and sides'. In my military days there was a saying by an NCO 'what's under your hat is yours. The rest is mine.'
Worse problem after my house build was my windows. I had wooden ones fitted but they leaked like sieves from day one. Probably worse than sieves. When the glass was fitted they never sealed the bloody things. Within a year of my build I had to remove them and replace with uPVC.
With regards to the roof I was told by another farang to put in a rubberized membrane under the tiles. That was good advice but the builders found it difficult to install because they couldn't attach it to the metal laths. I had to bodge repair any leaks as and when myself. All dry now.
So what do the laws say about a women on motorcycles with a sidecar. And in that side car she has a relatively newborn baby in a hammock. I saw this today and was gob smacked.
I've seen a one arm man get into a car and drive off and I've had a car accident with a one legged man with a prosthetic leg riding a motorcycle. What next?
Just remembered about this incident. Chief of police for Non Suwan crashing his car into a shop at about 4 am. And he done a runner so I'm told.
Came here 2005. I first registered my abode along with my wife as I did a retirement visa So since 2005 my wife and I had registered my/our abode. Unfortunately immigration never did a TM30 in 2005. Not my fault. Not my wife's fault either but immigrations fault. Then in 2020 ish they decided my wife hadn't ever filed a TM30 even though my wife went with me to do my extension every year. As I say 'not her fault' or mine but immigration. As far as we were concerned we did no wrong. Thai immigration failed in 2005 and 15 years later decided to punish my wife. The whole of Thailand's immigration is total tosh.
Absolutely right. When my BiL was a monk he used to phone my missus and ask her to prepare some food for him during his fasting period to which she obliged.
