Apart from skipping country, which i would have done along time ago! have you got your embassy involved ? is this a civil or criminal matter? Why not get the press involved? this could work in 2 ways, 1 way would publicse your case showing that you have done nothing wrong and it was not your fault and now you are being extorted which would not look good on thailands image, which we all know they do not like that!!. Or it could have a negative effect and have people queing up at the road waiting for a farang to drive past!. Also would have thought it would have been a good idea to get your lawyer to go through previous cases, thai on thai for the same situation to see what was paid, alot less i bet! Use these files and cases as ethier a defence in your case or a counter offer to the family! Best of luck and will be waiting to see what happens! This could happen to any of us! What about sueing the insurer??

Lomprayah does a free tranfer to your hotel usually although you will have wait for other drop offs that might be on your way. Otherwise motorbike taxi.

try this place there was also a secondhand sportsbike shop around there somewhere maybe better to ask the bloke in charge of this place.

thanks all! would the be the best book to get if i was going to start on open water and then maybe later progress to advanced etc?

yes this is true ! well the part about being shot and now in a hospital in bangkok! was also told that it is the husband of a thai lady .

where can i get one of those go dive open water books in thailand?

you know i did see somewhere on the news that he is pursuing libel and defamation cases through his lawyers! surely this has to be a joke, firstly why doesnt he come back and file them?, we all knowthat one! i wouldnt have thought they would have been accepted as he is wanted !, and secondly isnt he trying to claim political asylum in the uk saying he wouldnt get a fair trial in thailand!, but its o.k to use the courts to try others !! This is getting unbelievable!!

i dont know all the facts of this case but which jet ski was damaged, if the thais he should pay! i think you will find the rental agreement says any damge to the rental jet ski and you pay all costs,( your jet ski) i am sure if the police where there and you pointed this out you would have some case to argue! He didnt damage his jet ski just the thais, if it was his friend who he crashed into i am sure his friend would be liable to cough up!

yes dont know when that will be have moved to hua hin now! had some very good nights there though! we are talking about the same market running by the river? I am sure its only about 50 meters across the bridge but say a hundred to be save, come to think of it they have a nightclub which was quite good there as well! sometimes had coyote on in there also!!

yes pailyn hotel was quite good when i was there mainly because they had some lovely coyote girls there nearly every night!! also if you go over the bridge by the night market about 100 meters there is a square there with a load of bars thai style and some karoke!

if you are in bangkok there is a place that does serious weight lifting equipment like mentioned near the new thai passport office, on the corner at the intersection. Sorry cant be more specific, but you cant miss it.

I would say this operation is highly illegal made to pay soon as you step of the boat, if it is about the pier the boat operators should be paying and adding extra on the tickets some where, what if you have been over to samui for the day and are actually staying in a hotel in haad rin.

Last time i was there even had 2 d###s on the samui side try it on for a 100baht to enter samui, god loves a tryer!!. I would say these people might have already asked the boat operators and was told no! so then where next? the unsuspecting tourist easy to deal with, threats of not being allowed in and violence! i wonder how it would play out if you stood your ground and called the police telling them you was staying on another part of the island, they would surely have to let you to your hotel!

does anyone know where i can get one of these new media players that acts like a external hard drive for downloading movies to but you can plug it straight into your tv to watch anything you have downloaded, looks like a dvd player.

i wonder what they would do if even half the male tourists who have there bum pinched in pattaya turned up on there doorstep demanding compensation or charges bought!

30 pound, i bought the sports classic and must say if you can get of level 3 you really are doing a lot better than me !!

try this i bought 1 a long time ago and it does work!

So what happens with Pojaman now as she has already been convicted and sentenced, does this mean she loses her right to appeal, will she have to serve her sentence if she ever comes back??

topland plaza cant remeber the floor but you go in the elevator and there is a entertaiment section up there somewhere in the hotel with night club, bars, snooker and pool places. nightclub is called picasso if that helps!

was just about to book a hotel for thursday and friday and have just heard the bars are going to be closed ! anybody know for sure??

oh yer motorcycle no insurance - most jeeps insurance!

Suggestions on safer ways of transport on Samui for parents???...reasonably cost though

150 - 200 baht motorcycle hire, 500 baht for suzuki jeep hire, not the best looking jeeps but still alot more protection than a bike!

Anyone know where to buy wood decking for outside use?

No license, No insurance = Not your fault should, not have been on the road ! You pay ? No! Lets see your chances of winning in court!
