    When they come out with a DCT model (Dual Clutch Tranny)  I would consider, I don't much like shifting anymore.........and an HD does not need to be super loud, people modify them to be that way.

    An automatic Hardly Ableson I can imagine it and tbh I reckon they would sell a load to the same lot that buy the rest of their merchandise, personally I would rather shove live wasps up my arse......!

    But if you read the article it says" A military-outfitted AW139 helicopter, the same model bought by the Thai army, reportedly sold for about 348 million baht apiece in 2013, according to Aviation International News. 

     

    So, the question remains, why did they pay 675 million to 737 million baht for each one?

    Shhh!!!

     

    Clearly never paid for a parts package either seeing as over 50% are unservicable and are knackered already...

     

    My moneys on the regular Thai procurement pattern that involves a teeny weeny bit of smoke and mirrors and the odd brown envelope, easy peasy when you are completely unaccountable.......

    This really is a most revealing thread isn't it?

     

    Not because it tells us anything new about either Immigration or its requirements for a marriage or retirement extension, or anything we didn't already know about our esteemed Embassy.

     

    Rather because it reveals, sadly,  the lack of security felt by many who live here, and equally sadly, disturbingly even, quite how unpleasant, totally self centered and lacking in empathy so many who regard themselves as in a stronger financial situation are!

     

    Referring to people who don't, for whatever reason, have access to the funds which you do, as "scum" says a lot about you, all of it rather unpleasant.

    I am very, very glad my family and I are out of Thailand and do not have to dance to their frequently changing tunes but I truly feel sorry for those whose lives and futures are being jeopardised by these rules

     

    TBH I do not blame the Brit embassy as they are reacting to new stuff the Thai's have suddenly decided is now vital, knowing what most of us know about Thai bureaucracy who would be naive enough to believe any of this has been fully thought out?

     

    For all the 'don't affect me' chaps out there having a good gloat all I would say is to be prepared for the next excellent plan as there is sure to be one along soon as it is clearer day by day that they just don't want you there....

     

    ps. cannot get my head around the amount of people who have not even bothered to listen to the radio report Tommy linked, true might not be completely correct but surely the closest to the truth as it stands at the moment, says a lot about the head in the sand group mentality

    We all dont know how many times this Thai business has done this do we?

     

    Could of been everynight, its obvious its not the first visit these 2 or even other neighbours have made.

     

    The thai owner seems to know them and they even know his licence hours ??

     

    So....begs me the question...is this a long running dispute...im not naive like many of you just to take the thais side becsuse....well u have to because....ummm..their thai?

     

    I remember a few years ago on here watching a videi of a young thai guy bash a elderly farang....before even what we knew about it, there were posters on here saying the old farang probaly deserved it, it was finally brought out the young thai on yaba attacked the old guy for no reason just as the latest attack in Bangkok has happened so dont be stuoid enough to take anothers side without knowing the full story.

    I do get it ...i know a lot of you hate your fellow farangs but please try to get the full story before you kick them in the gutter whilst kissing the thai butt.

    Nail on the head!

     

    It is amazing to hear all the whining about thais hating all foreigners and visa's getting harder, newsflash your average Thai cares not a jot about you and the muppets in charge even less!!!

     

    The xenophobia you see with the visa's etc aint personal it's just a character flaw, all the thaier than thai on here crack me up they obviously live in a parallel universe where the populace are never noisy, selfish or liars

     

    True badly handled by the Jock but I would be willing to bet there is way, way more to this than the highly professional Thai press and their fellow countrymen have stated but just proves there are lots of weak people who just take things as read, naive maybe....?

  5. Blimey an awful lot of very naive people who automatically believe the Thai's side of the story, obviously they would never ever tell a lie and that they are always good and quiet neighbours <deleted> half a bloody story as usual

     

    Am I the only one who finds it a little suspect about last minute jobs at 20:00 hours requiring loads of staff when supposedly they shut at 18:00, who would like to bet every night there will be a 'last minute' job happening

     

    I reckon most blokes (other than the obviously soft <deleted> ones who wont say boo to a goose even if it was shatting on them!) have felt the rage every now and then when the locals have decided nothing other than their own gratification matters, I know I have.....
