A good done indoor can easily sell wholesale for 300,000 baht per kilo, but in that case he could also sell it to a dozen shops within a day himself. If you have no choice but to take it in weed, let some people check it and tell you what it is worth. Sure a lower quality could still also be worth 300,000 but that would mean selling it by the grams to retail. Not selling it at once wholesale. But not sure how much he owes you, if it's just 30-50K baht I would be open to get it in weed rather than cash. If more let him sell it.

“too small, fast, and sharp turn” = I see at least a few times a day here lol

On samui and phangan Flashexpress was overloaded big time, for weeks, this caused everyone to switch to Kerry only, who then in return got overloaded and has been in a big mess month or even longer now. They both still work, I guess just many shops temporary not work with them. Aside of this, I did notice 2.5 months ago, that I could no longer ship my monitor from Chiang Mai to island with Kerry too. Which is strange. I think most shops are setup by SME owners and they pay them too little fees. Thailand Post has never let me down in 5 years, even it had a bad reputation before.

Tell him for the business part he need a big fortune to make a small one + if he stops being able to splash money on her, as soon basically leaving the job and moving to the middle of nowhere, she will ditch him just a few years later. Or take loans on the house and land. He is still in time to leave her, even it costed him a lot. But yeah, they will always still do it and then cry.

If you need a news article for the tourist police helping a foreigner, you know things are bad lol.

I had the similar experience as her, even I had insurance, they constantly were demanding cash or card payments, while I was half K.O. in emergency room. Just garbage experience to be honest, better to have large stack of cash on a Thai bank ready for these situations, hard to do as a tourist.

Even after the husband saved the 'captain' his own child, he still lied about how it happened...

Wht is this nonsense article about? It is very well-known why Schengen has such strict visa rules, because Thailand is still a poor and developing country too, the place would be flooded by hundred thousands of SE asians working illegally. Not to mention my Thai wife can get a 5 year visa + eventually passport, within a decade, no issue at all. Thailand is only a all day sunshine life if you have some western money.

Most people automatically think girls are hi-so already if they look half chinese, dress well and have a normal office job. Says nothing at all, but yeah, those girls can be good enough to help you out with going to a bank etc too.

I did similar buying land with mortgage and wife, as it also will be for my son, however I have a 30 year lease on half the land in case we split, and build my own bungalow there. She will need for 2 decades paying it off anyway, my son will then be 24.

Plenty of people get a discount on their car or land paying it in cash, or buy hand bags worth that money in Siam malls. Not that unusual.

I suppose they transfer it to some dodgy Windows computer after their shifts, and that hard drive would be damaged (on purpose).

Yeah usually in the south they work wherever and for anyone, and they do have some sort of a visa thing setup. But then again many are here also illegal, I guess that is something your wife could easily find out. I do not think it is a big issue, and yes, hard to find any Thai down south. Sometime it is not about having a company or papers, or even money, but just about knowing the right people or being a original local there, to be able to do XYZ too.

Wasn't there another French guy doing the same in Pattaya, but much younger than this one, too?

That was their mistake, spending it on Russian gogo girls rather than the Thais.

Which usually includes some personal accident insurance too.

Classic mirrors are not look cool + for getting trough traffic between cars. Usually however they install new ones that are under the handles. If in Burriram, well, places like that they usually not have much brain and just do whatever.

Yes of course, it is a small world, but most actually happened and happens on Phangan, not Tao.

LOL second time I catch you with a weird comment. It is in fact the well-known Thais who only like corruption when it benefits them.

Zoom video call, send invitation link to them, done. To be wise, also make a normal video recording, in case any connection issue (from your end or individuals watching), they can still see it back too. Facebook live might be more useful in that case actually, as you can play it back after. But if you want to keep it simple Zoom can be downloaded in seconds by android/iphone.

Guess they could arrest like 300-500 people just on a few islands down south here, if they wanted too....

You rather have pylons in the middle of the way or a ghost driving 10 wheeler truck facing you? Choices man, TIT. Can't believe some people are so bored and ignorant, to even start topics about this. You want confirmation for your rant? Because nothing is gonna change anyway.

Oh please, 24 deaths on all the tourists that come there for all those years. There are more dangerous places in Thailand. The amount of deaths is actually a joke if you compare it to let's say Phangan, like described in my comment above. But yeah, neither of those islands, are good to be long-term, if you ask me. It is not even the real Thailand nor does it feel like that.

It is funny how people and the world are obsessed with ko tao while in fact it is phangan, where almost weekly 1-2 foreigners die. If you take that times X years, or even a few decades, and compare it to the deaths on tao, well wow. These deaths are often: suspicious suicides, found death in the bed (monthly 1+), murders just not reported, 'accidents' etc. Not to mention the crazy tantra people with decades of unpunished mental and sexual abuse of people, or russians biting of fingers. And yes, a stable person could become mind <deleted> entirely by certain of these spiritual groups, and in fact do commit suicide too.

Obviously they would need a work permit officially, or they work illegal for you. Or you pay the right people. No company = no official employees either.
