After having driven in whacky crazy Poo-cat/Phu-crap dodging/anticipating the abundance of locals/tourists who drive like retards all around me for 6 months without incident, I now feel confident enough to go on my first long road trip. It will be a 3 day-ish (basically just under 500km/day) road trip to visit friends in Buriram. I've done all the necessary Google mapping for hotels/waypoints (even hospitals in case of emergency) etc. etc. The only thing I still don't quite understand is the toll/gate system, and i just can't seem to find the answers on Google, so if you'll indulge me: 1. How many toll gates will I roughly have to pass through on this journey? 2. Will I always have the option to pay the toll in cash at any toll gate? If so, are the cash payment booths always located in a specific lane (all the way right, or left)? 3. What if my dumb azz accidentally drives through a non-cash gate? What are the legal consequences - a fine in the mail, points on license, etc? Helo-involved LAPD-level BiB car chase to catch the escaping white monkey? 4. Does Thailand have one or more non-cash toll payment systems? M pass....Easy pass...etc.....a bit confused. Will getting just one work for all toll gates nation wide? Where do I get it? Sorry, probably sounding like amateur hour but I'm pretty paranoid about these things and like to have my ducks in order. PS. For what it matters, the car is mine/registered in my (falangistani) name, Thai license/insurance etc., all legally clean. TIA

Will be in HH for 1 night. Any recommendations for a mid-range hotel (up to 2....2.5k) that is within a relatively short walk of any area with a bunch of bars that have halfway decent looking temp gfs? Yea, I'm "one of those"...sue me. Hey, just being honest. Thanx guys.

No, you can sell it on behalf of the estate as long as it is within the 1 year. What threw me off was your statement So I assumed in my original reply was that you maybe want to hold off on the sale beyond the 1 year deadline, or perhaps using it for yourself or getting some rental income from it in the future. So if you just want to be rid of it asap, then you're good to go provided you find a buyer. Incidentally, I'm actually in the market for another condo in the area. Feel free to DM me details.

Sidenote, in case your lawyer has not told you this: You, as a foreign heir of of foreign freehold condo, cannot just register the unit into your name. This will require you transferring the assessed value of the unit into Thailand from overseas (just as if buying a freehold condo). Only then can the title change occur. Wish you luck at this crappy time (I've been in the same situation) & condolences. https://www.thailandlawonline.com/article-older-archive/inheritance-of-real-estate-by-foreigners

Best reply: "Of course I'll help, baby - just get in my van and I'll take you back to the hotel. It's that Hiace over there with the blacked out windows^^..." Or (said with a deep whispering voice and s**t eating grin) "You know they will never hear your screams?" And seriously, the last tourist nationality I'd be willing to help out is an Aussie in LOS. Annoying lot generally.

I'm sure all pax wore their seatbelts!

Win win for everyone. Two morons in jail, one dispatched.

And for every Russian who behaves like this there are 10 loser Brits/Aussies, as well as quite a few Muricans these days who act like total aholes. Deport them all.

As long as they stay away from me once I politely tell them I'm not interested in any sort of socialization with them (happens once in a blue moon at bars, lol maybe I'm just frequenting the wrong bars ), I really don't care.

Who's the real Ho here?

At least he chose the most annoying nationalities 555

Until an immi officer at the airport decides to put you back on the sae flight you just arrived on because you're not a real tourist and just trying to game the system. Totally arbitrary.

Living like a billionaire with a low-digit millionaire budget is the way to go.

What do you expect in an unregulated "license not required" industry where a rhesus monkey can be an "agent"...

What about having a tactical "Rambo" combat knife in your own vehicle? Not carrying it outside the car, just keeping it inside?

Sorry if been asked and answered but can't find a specific thread. ROUGHLY how much (Thai cost, not a falang rip off special) would a chicken coop exactly like the one attached below be expected to cost? Size is 60 sqm (650 sq ft)-ish. Will accommodate about 250-300 hens. Location: rural Buriram. I'm just looking for cost estimates here from the handful of you who actually know their stuff, no need for chicken raising advice etc. And yes, my girlfriend is different.😁

Probably a stupid question, but.... New Hilux with 920km on it. Do I take it to my nearest dealer (bought in another province but it doesn't matter) for the initial/mandatory/scheduled 1,000 km check now before it hits 1k, or when it's just over 1k? Just trying to avoid getting TiT-ed for some breaking some asinine rule and losing warranty.

The only people who should ever use/own debit cards are those who are not eligible for credit cards.

Too stupid to walk. What a nothingburger, meh.... Lucky he didn't end up as roadkill by a speeding oncoming car.

My perception of people changed drastically for the better (total 180, actually) when I moved from s-hole Phuket to Bangkok and also started spending time in Buriram. If you're around trash, you eventually become trash. Generally speaking of course.

A lot of the local women look better with masks as often their eyes are much better features than the rest of their faces, so I'm good with it.

Meh, NOGAS.

Meh, getting involved would take away good Agogo time.

Hope BN stops wasting time hosting the western "leaders" showing up with their wussy-azz calls for "restraint" and starts clobberin' these animals for real. Military morale will suffer otherwise. They deserve to be unleashed asap.

Don't blame them, who wants to be in PooCrap with all the Ayrabs habibi'ing up the place...
