Are these wild animals? If not, why has no owner come forward?

Wild buffalo in Phuket? I don't think so. Do you think he would come forward to get an insurance claim for the vehicles killing his buffalo? Or would he possibly be liable for allowing his animals to wander into the road? I don't know what the law here is on this one...

Yes, the owner would be liable. So he will not come forward.

Could the difference in experience stem from difference in visa? A visa exempt entry is quite often called a tourist visa. AFAIK Phuket DLT does not accept visa exempt entry, but does accept regular tourist visa.

steven .... I was talking about a Tourist visa. A visa exempt entry is called Visa on Arrival. I never mentioned that sort of visa would gain a certificate of residence.

KBB seems to think that a VOA would qualify, that's not something I can say with an assurance. just don't know.

Visa exempt entry is not called visa on arrival. Visa on arrival is something different, basically for those people who are not eligeble for visa exempt entry.

I'm not sure either, but these terms are quite often used wrongly, hence my thinking that that might have caused the confusion. KBB seems to think not though, because according to him with both visa exempt and visa it is possible to transfer at DLT.

Not convinced on that at all, ok put it this way and I know this for a fact, you cannot transfer a green book held your name whilst holding a tourist Visa. I know this as i've got 3 bikes in Phuket and they were all bought and registered whilst on a non-imm B visa. My work has changed and i will be returning on a tourist visa but was told by someone that i couldn't transfer the green books on tourist visa. So i went to see my little lady at RTO and she confirmed this as being correct. So seems pretty odd they'd let you register on TV but not sell, so i'll stick my neck out and disagree with you.......not for the sake of arguing i may add :jap:

I agree with KBB. Phuket Immigration has the discretion to issue a certificate of residence even with a Tourist Visa. With that certificate in hand then Phuket DVLC will accept for vehicle registration and issue of Thai driver's licence. I know a number of people who have been issued with DL and had vehicle registered in their name while on a tourist visa.

I just want to know if he means Viset Road yes or no. Not that difficult or impolite a question I'd think.

What's wrong with that question?

What's the big deal here. I've seen it spelled Viset, Wiset, and Wichit, even Wichet. Just Google all those spellings and you will see address examples for Rawai area.

No big deal at all. I just asked SB a question to be sure he means the road normally called Viset Road. Probably that is the road he means, but just would like to be 100% sure, that is all. And suddenly everybody makes a big deal out of this?

SB seems to not care at all because he does not bother to answer.

What do you mean with 'Wichit' BTW, do you mean the road normally spelled Viset Road?

Transliteration is a fluid thing... I saw a gov't sign transliterating "Phuket" as "Phu Ket" the other day.

Yes, I know, but I would like to know what SB means with 'Wichit', hence my question.

stevenl, it's probably just a mistake, or typo. Jeez!

Probably a car hitting a power pole, power came back on at about 2300 hours

tried to contact them on there emergency number but got no answer

It was a tree shorting/breaking a power line near Wichit/Sai Yuan.

Power is out again this morning/early afternoon. Not sure why this time but this is getting annoying.

I used to have a number at my old place. I have never had any success calling when the power is out. I just called the number on the electric bill - 076 212 125, but got a recording that the number is out of service. What is the emergency number you have?

Power was also out in certain areas of Kata, just came back on.

Those places opened some years ago (5-6 maybe) when they were evicted from the beach front. None of them were very happy with it since their location was not exactly an improvement.

Just ordered a box of kwak.

150 each is 100 baht cheaper than most places.

Finally a useful service but boozetooyoo tried and failed so I wish them the best of luck.

I'll make my judgement after I see how they handle the logistcal side of the business.

I like Kwak as well, but it is different without the glass. Just see they also have Orval, also an excellent beer IMO.

I don't see any pricing. If you are a good bit below Brasserie's prices I'll definitely be buying some.

All prices are in his first link. Duvel e.g. 145 Baht.

Or... why don't we hear of brakes failing elsewhere, like all along the roads prior to the downhill.

Let's wait until we hear from the Russians about how fast he was driving.

Because there is no downhill there.

LIK is right, they just don't know how to brake on the gears, therefor overloading the brakes which leads to failures.

If they're legal, there are no shakedowns possible.

Whereabouts is the Private Clinic in the Vachira Hospital? The locals refer to the Vachira Government Hospital as The Slaughterhouse, so wouldn't mind paying a few extra baht for an upgrade. The Bangkok International is a Mill.

Corner Chao Fa Road-Bangkok Road, directly after the Esso station.

Dufy ir correct BTW, not private but outpatient facility.

Yes. We even have electricity and horsless carriages.

hmmm, someone who can answer my question seriously?

You mean your questions, "I heard rumors that it might be difficult to find drinking water and food there? " is serious?

What do you think all tourists and locals drink here, beer every day all day long? And yes, we're all starving, so please bring some Pad Thai with you.

Have you considered the private clinic of Vachira?

Dutch Gouda -10% discount

http://www.phuketdel...ouda-block.html

Is your Dutch Gouda actually from the Netherlands? And what vintage is it, i.e. jong, belegen, oud etc.?

Vintage means when it was made not who made it

So? I am asking where it was made, not who made it. Age is important for cheese.

Don't know if this has to do with the floods but Lemon Tree Gas Station on Wiset Rd has no diesel.

Could be the floods, but it does happen every month or so they run out of something for a day or 2.

Shops like Tesco Lotus have there own storage facilities in Phuket

The large outlets use night fillers to restock there shelves

So if people buy more than they need items like water and rice will run out on the shelves

They new the floods were coming to Bangkok so i would imagine they

brought in extra supplies before hand since they have had similar situations before

That does not change anything Peter.

With less supply and same demand there will shortages, now or, if big stocks, in the future. Of course big stocks don't work for fresh products.

Wonder if the bus driver was with the bus?

According to the reposrt he was wounded and taken to the hospital, so yes, I would presume he was with the bus.

Most of the products you buy here are produced in the industrial areas of Bangkok

Most of these areas are flooded

if people use common sense and do not buy much more than they need there should

be no major shortage of supply in Phuket

Can you please explain Peter.

Flooded areas, so less supply, same amount of people so same demand, but no shortages because people only buy what they need?

Have you gratuated in nutrition? no? then please just accept facts and if you want to understand them just make your own research. You're going against the whole wide world right now defending your 30baht crap. If you cant afford more than ok its sad just dont start making shit up as if its enough for a healthy brain.

My research, quote from Thailand:

"A poor farang feeding his kid rice based meals will have a small and inanimate kid just like most thai kids are"

But judging from your other posts you have retracted that rice based meals are not nutricious.

Officially you will need parental consent, legalised at the Amphur.

But sorry, no experience with this at Ranong, so no idea how real life will be.

Nothing too bad this morning.

Left from Sai Yuan at 08.15, was parked at the airport at 09.07, by car, nice and relaxed. Looked like construction would start a bit later. On return trip construction had started, one lane blocked heading North, but looked like maybe 5 minutes stop and go traffic.

Is this not something covered by medical insurance?

Could be, depends on the insurance policy.

I seriously doubt there were any kickbacks to the police.

He was 'just' ripped of by his lawyer.
