NONG CHOK

But Who actually gets paid for holidays in Thailand?

I've been using Cambodian Intertravel visa service in Soi Buakhaow for many years. I get mine on back Friday which is 3 days also. My main concern is would the laminated copy of my passport and visa be accepted if I try to make an appointment tomorrow.

I'm in the process of getting a residency certificate from the agent I use for my annual one year visa. He advised me that I can pick it up after 10 am on Friday. As my birthday is the May 19 I wish to make an appointment as soon as possible. My problem is that my agent has my passport, so if I go to to the LTD office tomorrow will they accept a laminated copy of my passport and visa. Thanks.

My wife has her own small food shop and she told me she'd rather work alone than have Thais working for her. If they work 15 minutes at a normal rate they need 30 minutes to recover and of course talking. She even sacked her sister and a cousin. That's why Thais take the risk and employ people from Myamar and Cambodia who work their asses of.

I've been told by the poo house prophets that we should count to 7 at a normal rate to pass the perception test. When being colour tested should we say orange or yellow? Some officials are the same as my wife when she's in a bad mood, she can pick the $**t out of anything.

Firstly thanks for your reply. Seriously why does the DLT office go through all this crap. I've had a Thai drivers license for 22 years and everything use to get done by going to the office one time. It was suggested that the office was getting over crowded, which should've been easily fixed by entry is for license holders only.

I'm a qualified plumber and I've never heard of these charges before. Then there's the 300 baht fee to park cars undercover. I've owned my condo for 8 years and I've never had these fees before. Maybe it's the new office manager who puts up signs everywhere and struts around as though she owns the entire place.

So why should I pay for the meter if it isn't mine?

If you're able to bet online without a VPN good for you but my point is who's watching you at this end as gambling is illegal in Thailand. All countries have paid officials surveying the internet content in their countries. I consider my VPN as import as my antivirus program as not only does it hide my identity when gambling but also protects my banking details etc,

It amazes me that you can bet online to the UK without using a VPN. Actually it's illegal as an online betting agency isn't allowed to accept bets from a country outside of where the bets are placed. One other thing you should consider is the fact that a VPN protects you especially as you live in a country such as Thailand where betting is a complete no no. Its very wise to conceal your identity.

Where are you betting from?

May I add if you try the free version of Hola VPN it does have a time limit but you can reset that. Even the limited time is enough to get your bets on.

Firstly I'm an Australian living in Pattaya. I have shares in racehorses and greyhounds and I use Cyber Ghost VPN so I can not only bet but watch the races. In saying that Cyber Ghost will not allow me to play the Aussie lottery. If I need to do that I use the free version of Hola. In your case I set Cyber Ghost VPN up for the UK and the William Hill site opened requesting me to log in or join.

If I pay the meter maintenance then I would assume the meter is my property. So if I ever move I presume I can take the meter with me.

I'm a farang with a Thai wife, we have a Pattaya condo in her name and we still get charged this tax.

It's much safer to bite the bullet and immediately move on.

Thailand the HUB of gullibilty, when I got married 22 years ago I used cop this garbage about ghosts etc. Thankfully things are normal now as over the years I proved to her indoors that it's all total crap.

I have a policy set in stone, I don't have anything to do with them. This also includes a family member up north who I totally ignore.

Thanks for that info Georgealbert but seriously when are the meters and pipes checked? If they were serious they wouldn't use PVC pipes. They even use galvanised piping here too which is prone to electrosis.

More to the point Bob, they're as soft as pensioners turds.

Hi there, I just picked up my water account for April. While I was checking the amount I noticed a 50 baht extra which is for the water meter maintenance. I was a Plumber in all my working days and I've never heard of that happening before. Since when do we pay a maintenance fee on something we don't own? It's not the 50 baht that concerns me, it's if this fee is charged on every water meter in Pattaya, who pockets the money? May I add is this fee monthly or annual?

Give the bitch a slap, there's times when Thai birds lose their status as women, especially when drunk or drugged up.

I'm not disagreeing with you but the party that can rouse up 51 % or better are the winners even by dubious means. I'm sure Teflon Tony would've been sending his instructions from overseas. I think that the MFP members are rather inexperienced in Thai politics they need to recruit some serious political head kickers like the other major parties have. In saying that I may I repeat, if the MFP received 100 % of the votes at the election, would they be Government now? Any person who lives in Thailand believes this are dreaming.

Given her age, she must have real problems if a 15 yo can get her jealous.
