    Kpn is dodgy. All those gulf islands are. Bkk, cm are the best places to buy gold.

    0.⁰00⁰000000000000000000000000000000000001% be my guess.

    Could be a scam shop. Whats the location?
  4. Sparktrader
    Let us have a bet. 10,000 baht. If no nukes in 6 months you pay me. If nukes I pay you.

    Who knows, stay away from dodgy shops. The ones in shopping centres are legit. Some of the ones outside are dodgy.
  6. Sparktrader
    Well yes they hope tourists dont know it is a scam. I would just say mai chai khrup. Tum mai? They would wave me on.

    He lives in Pattaya. I dont go there. I have real experience in real Thailand. Never been asked. Who knows what happens in Pattaya, sounds very dodgy.

    IDPs are always in English.

    So he paid a fine to a corrupt cop. 500 baht is $20aud. A IDP is $40 last time i looked. So getting an IDP is 500 baht more expensive than paying a corrupt cop. Dear oh dear.

    1 dont walk alone after 1am 2 stay near other people, yell out if needed, dont engage a fight 3 if you have to fight use a headlock. 2 guys tried to fight me, i put the first into a headlock and threw him into the 2nd guy, they both fell over. I got away. Dont try to punch or use muay thai unless you are very good. A headlock works best and they dont expect it. They expect a punch or kick.

    I got abused by a Thai guy in a bar in KK for no reason just walking past 10pm. Must have hated farangs.

    Bike shops in Chiang Rai. Fly there. CR countryside is very good. I like your style. Proper traveller, not a sheep.

    2am is dangerous for a 70yo walking alone. Hope he is ok now.
  14. Sparktrader
    NZ is dodgy.
  15. Sparktrader
    Dont walk home alone at night. Risk management.
  16. Sparktrader
    What time was it?
  17. Sparktrader
    Based on using my eyes.
  18. Sparktrader
    Cause it is the law if living there. Those on TV and exempt dont need it. Most posts on forums are from backpackers on motorbikes no motorbike licence which is against the law.
  19. Sparktrader
    Build a golden bridge. That is the negotiation tactic.
  20. Sparktrader
    Yes the tone drives me crazy. Khon Kaen has the hottest women in Thailand per capita.
  21. Sparktrader
    Move elsewhere. Why stay in Pattaya if you hate it?
  22. Sparktrader
    The average Thai cop doesn't speak much English. They wouldn't know an IDP from a DL. They look for Burmese and Cambodians not farangs.
  23. Sparktrader
    I know the driving rules and Thai laws unlike some others. Living on Phuket and not knowing what the rules are means you are not well informed. Learn the rules.

    I went through a checkpoint in Isaan. Just waved in. In Bangkok a cop let me do a U turn by stopping traffic. An IDP has no purpose in Thailand unless your insurance policy says it is a must or your licence is not in English. An Aussie DL is valid in Thailand. Meets criteria since 1962. 60 years ago.

    15 to 25 would be average. Ive met Thais who make 200k via family business in Bangkok. Does it matter to you? Most money is in Bangkok or nearby. CM folks normally dont make much.
