Try Soi 6 between beach road and second road or LK Metro and Soi Bukhow (however you spell it) or one of the many "gentlemen's clubs", does depend on what you want though.

Not as far as I know. I am informed that the real traditional way is to trickle water over the hands and feet of the elders of the family or village to show respect for them, some also hand out "gifts" like blankets, etc, (have actually seen this in action a number of years ago in my village, in fact on my sister-in-laws driveway), after the elders have gone then party begins, alcohol, music and water throwing.

Your history is exactly what they want to know as it determines if you have been either a) refused entry at any time and why also b) been blacklisted for whatever reason You would not allow just anybody to wander into and around your house, why should Thailand allow just anybody to enter their country.

How would the Immigration Officer know that with you acting all "entitled", precisely what somebody that has something to hide would act. Next you'll be saying there is no need for passports either.

To use their debit card you need have the money in your account. As far as I have been able to ascertain the credit balance on the credit card must be backed up by the equivalent balance in your account. I see no real difference between them on a day to day basis.

Fully agree Nope

Just make sure you get all the ducks in line regarding visa and work permit.

correct, misthought

why then did you go to the doctor referred to in your original post must admit that i quite enjoy the apparent predicaments you seem to get yourself into

If you depart the country the 90 day count stops when you leave and restarts (at 0 Zero) on your return

What do you expect, in LOS, its do as I tell you not as I do

They are possibly part of the NZ "Free Man of the Land" Movement, who like the American Sovereign Citizens do not believe that laws are applicable to them, in particular road traffic laws, and spout statements like "I'm a foreign national, from the United States of America Republic, I am not subject to your laws and you have no jurisdiction over me", and call the police "road pirates", among other similar types of things.

never guessed you were in the Bangkok Hilton until now.

Which point of sale are you referring to, as there are multiple points of sale and the application of taxes and duties long before it hits the shop shelves (it's not all calculated and paid when you buy it)

Since the reductions in tax levies were announced, the only effect I've seen at some (not all) of my local "refreshment" stops, has been a 10 Baht increase in the price of bottles of local beer, I don't drink wine and very little spirits so don't really know about them.

That's as maybe, but it is the logical step from the statement "violation of Thai law which forbids foreigners from driving passengers". Especially as I have already been issued with a warning by Immigration for being 9km away from my house in my local town and not having my passport on me.

So my step-son or step-daughter arrives at the local bus station at say 2:30am and phones for a lift home as there are no taxi's available. Does this mean I have got to say "cannot". Would the same apply to my wife, son or daughter, by the way none of them can drive?

I guess Xi might be asked to help fund it ? If they are of the same standard as the offshore defense islands the Chinese built, the airport will only last a few years. Until I read private jets I thought they were going down the line of seaplanes.

And give up the pension? Pass! And more importantly your passport?

Slight departure from the topic but similar type of problem. Bangkok Bank, I have 2 active accounts with them 1 is about 20 years old the other about 2 years. When I loaded the mobile banking app about 6 months ago the newer account went in with no problem and appears to work satisfactorily, but it would not accept the older account, have tried many times personally and failed, took the phone to my local branch and they failed. Tried the branch again last week, to be told that Thai's can have numerous accounts linked in the app but foreigners can only have one account, said she would try to get HQ to authorize the addition of the second. Don't have that issue with SCB, but they loaded their app on the phone and installed the accounts (1 existing and 2 new).

In rural areas "very difficult" is a significant understatement, impossible would be nearer, the majority work for cash in hand on a casual basis, today for one farmer, tomorrow for another, maybe 2 days nothing as no crops to be picked or cleaned for market, next day maybe morning only, some on a daily rate and others on piece rates (eg by kg processed).

does your Netflix subscription allow multiple sets from one location

Lets make it unanimous "Ignore it"

See it all the time, can't be bothered stopping for traffic lights, won't obey the no entry signs or the police officer indicating same, cutting across 3 lanes of traffic to turn right when the lights change due to lengthy queues in the right turn lane, walk straight to the bank teller / post office counter to get served first as they can't take a ticket and join the queue. Once seen a police officer with his back to the traffic (after stopping it) with his arm out to say stop get hit on his arm by a motorbike that flew through between the stopped cars and failed to stop for him and then kept going (of course as with about 30% of motorbikes here no number plate). Many times have seen motorbikes being flagged down at checkpoints, give a one finger salute and keep going. Yes, I'll agree many are like that, but as no real enforcement is carried out around me, they are getting fewer and fewer.
