  1. I live in Bkk, and use Cambodia service, If visit Pattaya is B14K, if just send passport, passbook (KBank) and send photo. If not visit is B18.9K
  2. My girlfriend wants the motor bike plate numbers to buy lottery tickets
  3. I went to a pub in Silom district earlier this week where all the serving women were from Myanmar. When I ordered Thai food for myself and guests from abroad they did not understand Thai. I ordered the dishes in Thai language, and was not sure of the correct English names for the food.I assume they are paid the minimum wage of about B10-12K per month, so why would a Thai think they can earn 3-4 times that money in a restaurant in Myanmar
  4. A soccer supporter by the sports shirts stolen, obviously not a AFL or NRL supporter, so in an Australian minority. An idiot, send him back and ban entry
  5. An idiot walking around with a 150k necklace, he deserves to lose it, Assisting Thai economy, no sympathy from me
  6. who cares if he suffers extra pain, a piece of s--t who should be dead a long time ago
  7. Not only the Safari Bay closed, but many others, Patpong closed down in covid, and lots of staff laid off. It has never recovered I would estimate 50% of bars closed and very quiet. I went to Crown Royal about 1 month back with a couple of visitors, it was 8.30pm and we were the first customers of the bay and the only visitors there, a shadow of its former state in the early 2000s on a Friday night was standing room only. Now dead quiet like lots of bars
  8. I suggest that passports have a long expiry date as when passport is renewed then lots of issues with banks, visas etc. Before I came to Thailand 5 years ago I got a new passport despite having 3 years before expiry, so 10 year life in Aus passport, so I have 5 years before the hassle or maybe pass away before runs out
  9. I understand amongst siblings (assuming both parents have died) is the first in line is the youngest daughter. I know of a family the youngest daughter inherited the land despite she was actually adopted. That assume no formal will prepared, which Thais do not usually have a will as think it puts jinx on you (bs)
  10. In KL, Malaysia the taxis are worse or similar to those in Bangkok. That is why I hate going to KL on business. The KL taxis have signs on their door saying meter only and they still demand higher fares. This activity is high on the list for tourists hates about Bkk. Police do you job!. I seldom have a problem because I know the route and speak enough Thai to have the meter on. No meter no go, Tuk Tuks are even worse, so never use
  11. The Viet girls have been around in Nana for more than 3 years, tried once, did not like, B1,500 maximum for ST
  12. I see 7 people in the photo, who are the criminals? I see suspicious characters on right and left
  13. B500 and police will remove the wheel clamp and you are on your way, less a receipt of course
  14. My 90 day reports always states the date the next report is due, so read the 90day report. Nothing to do with long term visas
