Phuket Airport tourist cries fowl over 3,000 baht Subway sarnies
Briggsy replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I would suggest London / Essex from the accent. She is an idiot who probably pulled this ridiculous stunt for likes and clicks. Order a ridiculous amount of food and then refuse to pay. -
Yes, that is Soi Thaniya.

Phuket Airport tourist cries fowl over 3,000 baht Subway sarnies
Briggsy replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
There are sufficient calories in what she ordered to keep 7 people going for a long haul flight. Given airport prices are always expensive, I think the price is right. The question is why did she feel it necessary to order so much food. -

DTV 90 day notification
Briggsy replied to Briggsy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Can you clarify that the list I gave in my opening post satisfies your definition of "very basic docs". I am hoping to get it done in one trip to Immigration. I would prefer to have a risk-free approach as I do not know if I will need to contact Immigration in the last 40 - 50 days of my current stay. So far this trip I have had 3 contacts with immigration. 1. TM30. 2 COR to register vehicle in my name. 3. COR to obtain Thai driving licence. Admittedly with better forward planning 2 & 3 could have been done together. Many thanks for your assistance. -
DTV 90 day notification
Briggsy replied to Briggsy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, I have included a copy of the original TM30 in my list. Is that what you meant? What do you mean by "basic copies of pp"? Isn't that the form for 90-day notification? Is it another form? That would cost several thousand baht either in air fares or land travel costs and Laos/Cambo visas. I feel this is entirely unnecessary as I am flying home in 40 days or so. Workcation -

Thai woman defends drunk foreign boyfriend in Pattaya crash
Briggsy replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
The Thai police can be very tolerant. -
I am coming up to 90 days in Thailand on a DTV. Of course, the permission to stay is for 180 days. Against my better judgement, I will do the 90 day notification at Jomtien. I potentially could just forget about it and leave Thailand on my booked flight in early March (around 130-something days) Are these the documents required? Completed TM47. Copy of DTV e-visa. Copy of entry stamp page of passport. Copy of details page of passport. Copy of TM30. The situation is slightly complicated in that I visited another province and stayed in a hotel last week which definitely registered me as a guest using my passport and entry details. I hope this does not cause an issue.

Woman's Motorbike Stolen Before First Payment After 4 Years of Saving
Briggsy replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
First stop, theft insurance. Most locals don't bother despite the fact that dealers will arrange it for you. This is due to the cost and cultural issues of considering insurance unnecessary. Second stop, a good lock particularly if parked on the street! -

Make each of them smoke 40 fags one after another and no cheating by not inhaling! -
Tourists Detained After Vaping Mid-Air on Nok Air Flight
Briggsy replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
But that is what everybody here wants to know! 😔 -
I think a lot of these incidents are caused by abrupt undertaking manoeuvres. They move to the inside / hard shoulder to get past whatever is in lane 2 / lane 1 without looking first what is in the inside lane / hard shoulder they are moving to. They are then going 60 kmh + and have absolutely nowhere to go faced with the back of a truck. Phones, alcohol, speeding, tiredness or a combination of these and undertaking also all play their part.

Once when I was looking for an apartment in Sri Racha, I made the mistake of saying I was working on one of the industrial estates, which I was. I was confused when the immediate reply was "What is the budget?" I only later realised did each apartment think the company was paying for my accommodation (they weren't) and then the price was increased accordingly. Perhaps the same applies to this topic.

Crash Claims Life of 68-Year-Old Woman in Chachoengsao
Briggsy replied to Georgealbert's topic in Central Thailand News
The video is not very clear but I am not seeing any sort of helmet there but perhaps there is a face mask. Sadly, that did not save her life. Quite extraordinary careless driving. I wonder if she was completely zoned out. -
Fight breaks out after Thai woman leaves 2 husbands for foreigner
Briggsy replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Stereotypical state of affairs even though there's many who don't want to believe it is the case. "You don't lose your girl, you just lose your place." -
I need to see an orthopaedic doctor due to persistent undiagnosed pain in one of my knees. No previous problems I would prefer Sri Racha but am happy to use Pattaya or even Bangkok if you think it is worth the trip. I previously used Phaya Thai Sri Racha for an unrelated issue. They may still have me on their records. I can post symptoms if you wish. I have prepared a simple document listing them for the doctor. Can you recommend anywhere and suggest what tests may be conducted to diagnose the problem. Thanks.
