The price of something and the value are completely different.

 

The car’s worth 4m at best.

Your opinion of the price of something and it's actual value in Thailand are completely different, not to say, irrelevant.   Doubtless you could locate a similar car for B4m, though.

The wife said she would surrender to police at the end of the month. 

I thought that it was normal to arrest people on the spot ,Take  them in custody and than Front the Judge Than go on Remand in Jail if they don't get Bail and wait for the Trial. but hey this is Los .must give the people time to  Hide/Escape/Leave the Country.

It is, but she's in hiding so the police cannot do what they would do in normal circumstances but, hey, this is Thaivisa forum.

the terrible noise that Ford in Phuket had been telling me for one year was coming from a bearing in the differential was in fact coming from the bad wheel bearing in front! Lesson learned is don't trust the dealer

Well, don't trust that dealer, it is not representative of the entire dealer network.

I do know what I meant - I asked a reasonable question about what cars were manufactured in Rayong

Not exactly!  In that post you specifically referenced GM and GWM, I was asking you which manufacturer you meant...

"SHIJIAZHUANG (Xinhua) — China’s leading sport utility vehicles (SUV) and pickup maker Great Wall Motors on Monday said it will purchase General Motors’ Rayong car production facility in Thailand.

According to a binding agreement inked by the two companies, the transaction and handover, which include a car plant and a power assembly plant in Rayong currently operated by the Detroit carmaker, are expected to be completed by the end of 2020".

That's why I asked you to clarify and that's why your response that you had "no idea" was so odd.

Thing is though, if Thailand does not relax getting in without all these silly hoops by then (or high season), the country is going to be in such a hole I fear it will not recover for decades as the tourism infrastructure will have gone

Luckily the vast majority of Thailand's GDP is not from tourism.

So, you've gone rather quiet, which Immigration office did this debacle take place at?

There were boiler rooms operating in KSR previously? 

Dunno about KSR but Sukhumvit was and still is full of them.

I'm aware of all that, who isn't?   

I was asking ThailandRyan whose post suggested, bizarrely, that there were BRs in the KSR alleys before it's clean-up.

You don't have to read it.  Or did you just want to make an absurd, disparaging comment?

He was on the bike so the bike was hit by the taxi.   Why dispute what was reported when you didn't witness it?

Why in first place he went to Thailand to work illegaly when he could just go to Europe with no passport and say he's a refugee. No need to work, all paid. Just need black colour.

That doesn't work for Cameroonians.

What is this about? Why would a fake letter inviting a particular Egyptian guy to Thailand be circulating online and why would Thailand's Comptroller General's Department have to step in and say it is a fake?

 

They didn't do a good job of writing this article.

You didn't do a good job of reading this article.

Someone was trying to make it easier for the Egyptian to get a visa by submitting false supporting documentation, that's what it is about. 

The CGD had to be involved because the letter purported to have been issued by the Ministry of Finance, they said it was fake because it was fake and there were social media reports circulating about it.

If it's a fake how did they know the Egyptian's full name, passport number, etc?

 

????

Based on the OP, it's safe to assume that the Egyptian's visa application was presented to the Thai Embassy with the applicant's details and the fake letter.  Presumably the applicant knew his own personal details.

Maybe for forgeries, but not for those few that want a drink or some food from those that are not closed up.  I was just there on last Saturday and Sunday, none of the back alley boiler rooms were up and running....

There were boiler rooms operating in KSR previously? 

You're welcome.

Even now there are plenty of shops along Pattaya beach front selling these types of knives, everything from small pocket knives to machetes, I’m surprised the police allow it.

Why wouldn't the police "allow" it, selling knives isn't illegal, is it?

I agree, except for the part where you resort to that old Thaivisa-poster chestnut that "B500 and a wai and the matter is ended".  That nonsense just gets more ridiculous every time someone trots it out once again as though it is fact.

Yes but only yesterday, truck lost part of its load of timber, driver got fined 500 baht.

Sadly 500 baht fine appears to be the norm.

Sadly, losing part of it's load isn't assault.

Yes, I am correct, whatever you meant, without needing to rely on an alleged technicality.

Yes a celebrity alright, a celebrity abuser, needs taken down a peg or 2.

Being that he is a celebrity and she just a pump operator, 500 baht and a wai and matter ended.

Police should do their job arrest him for serious assault.

The decision to strip was deemed unlawful, so she is British citizen until the decision to strip is upheld.

No, it was not "deemed unlawful"!   The removal of her citizenship stands unless the review finds in her favour.
