  1. Chonburi Jomtien accepted the pdf version from app, (More Services, Request Account Statement) print it out, usually arrives in email in less than an hour. Still had to get account balance verification letter at the branch.
  2. That's what happens. One tourist has no idea and pays the excessive amount, word spreads and others think they can get more. Same thing happens with rent prices for housing. Just talk her up, you can't get a fair price move on.
  3. My understanding is Thaskin has been a force for maybe 20 years in Politics. With his wealth I'm sure he will be afforded be a more lenient outcome
  4. Sorry, I just spit out my coffee laughing so much. I have an idea, take all the fines from the foreigners and buy helmets to give out at checkpoints. If it is 2000 baht it will do some Thais more harm than good and means they will have to chose between food and clothes for their kids. Better to set up a Gofundme page and use the money to buy helmets.
  5. "Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has declared that charging public transport passengers higher fares based on their size or weight is both illegal and discriminatory". And dual pricing is not discriminatory? I know airlines bounced the idea around but canned it because of the backlash. Could you imagine a scale when you get on that calculates your fare from your weight? All the heavy foreigners would be complaining and Thai girls would insist the scale is broken that they only weigh 45 kgs.
  6. So the alleged main guy will face little implications of his actions and the Doctors will be the fall guys? Got it.
  7. What are the on about with possible social impact. If they are not drinking wine, then it's beer, whiskey, other alcohol. As for lost taxes, what about all the tax from foreign sourced income they are on about. That doesn't help? To much alleged corruption to cover the difference? Work on educating the youth, bringing investment and business to Thailand and you can collect your tax from those sources.
  8. So the average low priced 5kg bag of Rice is about 140 baht. At 6 baht a Kilogram that's a 466% price increase. 6 X 5 = 30, 140 / 30 = 4.66. Sounds like typical Thai business practice, corruption and exploit the poor farmer. I've seen Rice prices edge up in the grocery so the volume of new rice crops harvested must be above average
  9. I would teach her to fish. Look at possible business opportunities, her taking a loan out and building something from there. I know it is a fake story. I always ask for ideas on earning additional income. When they don't want to work then run, run fast, run far. You will always be the ATM.
  10. Enjoy the lovely accomodations. I hope your cell mates will give you a friendly welcome once word gets around what you did.
  11. I see it people will just say they have Alzheimer's disease. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). HIV/AIDS. Crohn's disease. Epilepsy and seizures. Glaucoma. Multiple sclerosis and muscle spasms. Posttraumatic stress disorder. Serious and ongoing pain. Serious nausea or vomiting caused by cancer treatment Or any other qualifying symptoms to get the med card. I think I qualify for stress and pain as I have a Thai girlfriend
  12. 20 years so you couldn't have calmly inquired about the theft allegation and clear the matter up? I understand it's not easy sometimes like herding cats getting everyone on the boat again but you choose how to react angry or just laugh it off. We apologize for the many idiots you have to deal with trying to elevate their social status for a video or picture.
  13. Sorry Qatar, If they are coming out of the South Carolina plant you will probably be better off buying the Comac C919. You know the saying if it's Boeing you are not going. Hopefully Boeing will get the production, quality issues worked out but with the stories from employees that say management is telling them to just push planes out and letting QA fall below specs is concerning.
  14. I've been hearing about this scam back to the Posh Pete days. Yeah, I've got the officers/officials paid off you will just walk right through. Nice little holiday and some spending cash. Sorry, I know it's a tough lesson to learn but anyone who is believing this needs help.
  15. Naturegift Coffee. No joke. Know three people tried it and had positive results.
