You missed the point.

Hospitals try to extract as much ฿฿฿ as they can. Looks like they succeeded.

Despite happening a lot of time still boils my blood when shop assistant say don’t have. Bought a light fixture from thaiwasadu a few days ago. Took a photo and went back in today to buy another one. Showed the photo, got an instant “don’t have” response. Kept my composure and explained the situation. He calls another guy, took me to location with about dozen of the light fittings. My approach is to ask to be taken to general vicinity and I look for myself. Laziness and lack of ambition of some Thai males on display again and again.

Alcohol Sales Prohibited in Thailand on July 20-21, 2024
AustinRacing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Hang on. Sales is prohibited but not consumption. Right? What if a shop gives one away. The customer tips the shop for being a good guy. We all know where to get it from during those days. Don’t we? Just another ill-planned action from gov. -
Mae Hong Son cracks down on inappropriate tourist behaviour
AustinRacing replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Come to think of it dancing with hijab with nothing under, occasionally revealing the forbidden parts can be appealing to some. Ok let’s open a bar together with that theme. I bet a lot of Muslim and as you say some farangs may be a good target. And the name? “72 virgins”, “haram agogo”. Any thoughts? -
Someone in my condo locking my motorbike with a pad lock
AustinRacing replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in General Topics
1) remove it with an angle grinder or bolt cutter 2) get a similar padlock. Put it on. If a repeat offense, he’ll think he or someone else is locking it. If you want to know why this is being done invest in some surveillance operation to find out. Then you can return the favor, or confront him. Maybe you shouldn’t park in that spot, at least to his understanding. -

This dress code initiative should be implemented in pattaya. All bargirls and gogo dancers must wear loose clothing, long pants or skirt, long sleeve shirts and cover their hair. Maybe a hijab. -
Escort scam: Thai man assaulted & robbed in Chiang Mai hotel trap

What? No sex? The least they could do was to relieve him, or them, or whichever he fancied. Poor guy. -
Buying a car at the Bangkok Motor Show
AustinRacing replied to westsail's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
We tried that a couple of years ago. In our case the special deal was interest free for 5 years and the usual accessories such as tinting, floor mats etc. However we found out the deal was offered by the company to all dealers. Therefore there was no specials exclusive to the Motor Show. Regarding delivery they will charge you for it. Basically a local Honda dealership has been chosen to be at the show by paying a price. So you’ll buy from a dealership and not the parent company. I could be wrong but I believe it will be cheaper to buy in Phuket. -
Your knowledge of Thai women seems limited to bar girls in pattaya. Does not apply to this case.

90day reporting-bribed like a pro thai
AustinRacing replied to AustinRacing's topic in General Topics
No it wasn’t. -
A few days late, the IO who was blow drying and straightening the colleagues hair behind the counter came to my window, holding the blow dryer in hand with 2-3 IO looking and listening in, all smiles and in cheerful mood. Sorry you need to pay 2000 she said. But if you don’t need receipt, you can pay cash 1000. Done, I exclaimed. She turned around and continued blow drying and straightened the colleagues hair. In and out in 5 mins. I never felt so Thai. Corruption works….

I bet the driver is in on it. Interesting when police extortion is reported they use terms like imposters. I bet they’re real cops. Another scam by police/gov is unless crime is reported no action taken. This allows police to intimidate victims so they won’t complain. It has worked for them well. Every now and then an anomaly like this happens that they diffuse quickly unless it gets out of hand such as media frenzy or victim persistence. Shame on them.

My wife had hers done. If it makes her really happy you should be supportive. It’s a simple yet invasive surgery. Clinics that offer specials suggests they’re not popular hence not good. We went with one of the best in Thailand. No advertising or promos as they’re fully booked. The cost was 150k. You can opt for various brands, material etc which dictates the price. I doubt under 10k to be the total cost. Don’t risk it.

International Thai driving license driving in Japan
AustinRacing replied to mrmicbkktxl's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
No such thing as international license. What you have is a permit which is basically a translation of your license. The signatories to the international driving permit will have to accept them. It appears Japan is one of them. -

A misunderstanding. He thought she was Russian. -

I was there. Did a lot of soul searching. Not a single soul. Heel to toe burnt. -

Maybe a disgruntled customer came back and settled the dispute the Thai way. Incidentally the owner of one of the major flip flop brands lives in my village. Conspiracy anyone? -

Indeed. In addition lots of mocy taxi, police, and nosy bystanders (including yours truly) with their mobile phones wandering around pretending to be future CNN reporters. -

AustinRacing replied to AustinRacing's topic in General Topics
I’ll update once we learn what happened. I’ve bought thongs (flip flops) from them many times. Large tent, packed, hard to walk around. Would’ve been easy for someone to set fire to it. At nights they just pull down plastic cover. -
Trump Rally Shooting Alarms Ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra
AustinRacing replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
lol. Thai politicians (or former politicians) think rest of the world cares about what they think. In this case this guy was meant to stay out of everything. Very difficult for narcissists to do that. -
NZ brothers return home after 4 months in Thai custody for assault

Not even an apology from the family? I guess they must’ve payed an arm and a leg to have the morons freed
