An empty Basket, and a full apology along with all Medical Bills paid for would be more appropriate.

Perhaps there should also have been a basket containing spectacles as to quote from the article

"Deputy Manoch carried on that the hole on Soi Buakhao 15 was dug in preparation for a storm drain pipe. In fact, there was a warning sign for vehicles at the hole, and a narrow path beside the hole was left for pedestrians only, the deputy added."

Beat me if i have a clue what a family planning conference means, what? you tell people how to plan their families? such an odd presuite, but i guess when you're a billionaire you can pick and choose what ever you like...

Perhaps this will help you. The good news is people can join the conference "virtually" which I am sure may be of interest to those who can now sit at the bar and still discuss the need for, or not, condoms with their chosen bar lady ????

International Conference on Family Planning (ICEP 2022)

A thread that is a magnet for bitter Westerners. I suppose they reap what they sow.

You are 100% correct in that conclusion as can be seen from some of the posters already.

You seem a bit slow. Story said "allegedly intoxicated" i said "if drunk" what part of that don't you understand?

You seem to be the thick one. I asked the question "Where does it say he was drunk ?", a simple comment. Now had you have said he was drunk, which you didn't, then I would have said something totally different.

There are countless stories like this on here. Seems common in the farang-Thai relationship.

 

And do the people the OP describes sound worthwhile people to you?

 

You should be aware that in low socioeconomic areas there are way more social social problems and abuse, right? There have been research papers written on that 

You have said it "Stories". ????, so many of which are unsubstantiated.  I left believing in fairytales behind when I was a young child but clearly some people never ever really grow up.  Also this thread is about lack of gratitude in a Thai relationship, not about abuse which you attempt to deflect onto.

Yes indeed, but when these people return to their home country, then possibly a different experience:-

 

 

That dog has just finished eating the animals  that the Indian smuggled in ????

Got to be better than the bus loads of Chinese licking the bus windows.

Also an amazing experience going to a sea food buffet with that lot in house. 

Well at least the Chinese can certainly put the Thais in their place for the amount of food they can get on one plate at a buffet

Been discussing making changes to motor laws on radio in Thai for a couple of days and now as you say back to usual. 

I fitted seat belts but nothing was said when stopped at check points before I fitted them. 

I just thought it was such an unfair thing to do within such a short time just to rip off the poor. 

 

Well as we all know most Thai laws are optional. Around here most of the pick-up drivers don't wear their belts anyway. I tried to suggest they did as it would stop them falling out of their seat when drunk, but they just don't listen ????

Never has one government created so many problems in such a short period time....

 

Collapse of the water system

Prices of gas/energy out of control

NHS - in crisis -

No Dentists

Queues at A&E

Trained and skilled workers sent back to EU

Inflation over 10% - inflation is caused by businesses and banking - the wages haven't gone up yet.

Foodbanks serving people who actually have jobs because of low wages

PM having a sulk

WAR IN EUROPE.

 

This is a government elected on one issue alone "Get Brexit done" - they have no idea how to actually govern

They didn't anticipate any of the consquences

Now they just cover up after cover up and blame Covid

Now the dust is settling they are running out of excuses and things they can blame.

 

e.g. -Energy price cap in UK is over £4000 by the new year - in France it's 4%

Pretty glum all round and things to get worse, far worse for them.

Over the radio my Mrs said they have changed mind again. ????

You can sit people inside the cab as long as passenger next to driver is wearing a seat belt. ????

Not read that anywhere yet, but that just means it is "as was"

Yeah, I knew it would be easy, but TiT and the website makes no mention that I can see of the "just turn up" option.

 

Really daft question - All my documentation is in Thai, I'm assuming that will be OK (You never know in this world).

 

Best in Thai from my experience, other than my name which is kept in English. I always have my Thai DL with me if there is a new assistant is a bit unsure about the spelling of my name.

Yup, we have a full service counter.

 

I've used it many times to return Lazada stuff with pre-printed labels, just never initiated the shipment. 

very easy when I have done it, simply give them the delivery address and they do the rest on their electronic machine and just pay the money. They have never asked me for id, simply my address and phone number and have sent numerous parcels over the years.

Just check to see if there is a kerry service point near you and take it in, very simple.

Maybe because I read this article and many others which were similar at the time

 

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/thailand-dreams-of-high-end-cannabis-tourism-after-marijuana-is-legalised

Authorities are also exploring the idea of a “cannabis sandbox” that would allow tourists to visit the country while recreationally using cannabis in select areas, to help create destinations synonymous with the drug, according to local media.

 

At the time of campaigning in 2019, Charnvirakul said that the legalisation would be “a win-win situation for the Thai people because they will grow the plant and it will benefit the economy”.

Shouldn't believe everything you read, especially the Guardian.

If I leave the country during my 90 day extension it will cancel it

Are you planning to return before the end of the 90 day extension ? If so simply get a re-entry permit and it won't be cancelled I think.

Sorry saw UJ's reply and mine crossed in cyber space

I was surely under the view that Anutin wanted Marijuana Tourism to flourish.........silly me and all of you others who thought this was true.......

Not sure how or why you concluded that. My impression was that Anutin wanted marijuana legalised in Thailand to allow unlimited supplies for medicinal use which by and large would be grown and sold by companies which he either had an interest in or his cronies had in order to maximise his own business stream income at prices which could be controlled. I can't think for one moment he considered that loads of independent growers/suppliers would pop up pushing prices to very low levels and hence having a big impact on his projected income.
