  1. Anyone have an Immigration official come by their room and ask about their visa while in hospital? There was zero problems, have extension, 90 day reports and passport photos in phone. The Immigration official was quick, courtesy, and professional. Just curious.
  2. Very dangerous game to play when in a country where bad things can happen to just about anyone. He may have inside information on the extent of people involved and the power they have and be navigating his course carefully to avoid being silenced.
  3. Think they are playing the losing face and the perception of guilty in others eyes. To get others to believe it just has to appear plausible. I hope both parties can settle their differences and they can move on and get back to work.
  4. Seems like to acquire a large sum they would want to target a large business but probably do not have access to the correct information. Somebody could have taken a photo of the bill from the unlocked Mailbox and fabricated the counterfeit. Good reminder that we need to be careful these days as it seems the scammers are everywhere
  5. I'm going to guess the decimal was in the wrong place or key was stuck when entering meter reading. 163,000 / 400 baht avg water bill equals 407.5 months or 33.916 years of water. Even if they were piping Fiji water into the house that seems very excessive.
  6. I bought the same washer but 14 kg size for girlfriends mother. It did not have pump. Had cement and tile pad installed for it to be up higher than drain pipe. It was 6690 week after Christmas. Approx $200 for a Washer is pretty cheap. Only 7 months old but big family and no problems. People talk about all these fancy extra options. Millions of people get by without these options with no problem.
  7. I know this is reviving an older thread. I recently changed from the IRC tires. They were good tires for a city like Pattaya if you are not racing around. The reason I changed is the IRC tires developed cracking all around the sidewall (I have many photos) and the date code says they are 2 years and 6 months old, bike parked in shade most of the time. Trying the Michelin City Grip 2 because they seem to offer great all around performance and people say they last a long time. The tire seems to ride a little softer, will see how they perform over 6 months and more.
  8. Did tech support for years and massage girl would talk about my shoulders hunching forward. I did some shoulder, upper back and doorway stretches and it seemed to help
  9. You can try to gain support from other Thais or building management to address the issue with the Police and City to try to come to a resolution.
  10. No time to read all posts. Like people have mentioned better to give him X amount a week and let him learn to budget and not spend money foolishly. Then he would need to ask if he needs to make a bigger purchase or explain how X amount may not be enough.
  11. Sorry Mr. "deputy head of Na Pho Subdistrict Municipality. " The 37 year old Toyota needed repairs after you drove it. Worked fine for the Janitor when he left for Bangkok. Seriously though, a 37 year old Toyota needs 25,000 baht or about $704 of repairs. In the US most people would quickly pay this bill if the work justified it.
  12. So will the fake prosecutor being representing himself in court? Hopefully he will wear the uniform.
  13. Sweet, Qatar decided to apply Dual Pricing to Thai Person to see how they like it.
  14. We all wish you a full speedy recovery.
  15. June 27th Bangkok Post reported 1,000 factories closed due to flood of cheap imports. Depending on the business the Tax on Foreign Sourced income is definitely having companies analyze the potential impact and make changes. The weaker baht to USD may also be a factor.
  16. I haven't seen the photo in question but have seen the YouTuber Edwin Sarkissian shot a vest and they may be confusing the weave of the fabric thinking it looks like plywood. Again have not seen the photo.
  17. Regulated in a shop with it not visible from outside okay. I can see this spreading like Marijuana shops all over the place for everyone to see. I love Thailand and do Not want all the families, friends and children to have the se x toys in view from the sidewalk.
  18. I've seen locals use a slingshot in the dogs direction and a stick. As a foreigner the stick is your best option and facing the dog. When you turn around is when they come up behind you to bite.
  19. I think they have to work out the logistics, who pays for shipping back to UK and what paperwork is needed to clear exports and imports customs in both countries. Hopefully they can now get this solved.
  20. These guys bored up in Bangkok? Work on student Foreign Language skills development, work on Math skills so when I give a high school graduate 548 on a 348 bill they do Not need the calculator. Work on access to advanced course for students showing higher aptitude Maybe even just online access. Keep your stupid tax the crap out of everyone and business will leave for other tax friendly countries.
  21. Is this still possible unless your biometric data is not in the system already? Anyways another entertaining story with the morning coffee.
  22. No Thai knows how to operate a Submarine. No idea but guessing quality of underwater mapping for structures and objects is pretty dated. Then you are at the mercy of company that foreign government can restrict from exporting parts. This is right up there with the buying new VIP aircraft story.
  23. One story mentioned them knowing each other for 4 years. All of us would start dropping our guard by then. Temptation of expensive items finally got the best of her again. You display expensive items and you are inviting attention from others, some may think the gold looks better on them.
  24. Guy hired to replace electric Hob looked at my voltmeter, ignored it and touched the wires to check the electric. On nightly walk the voltage detector was out on the table so decided to test some of the electric poles and wires that are directly on sidewalk. Probably 10% showed high detection level. Thai Massage shop ladies asked and girlfriend told them what I was doing. One moved her motorbike away from the pole.
  25. SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World And they happily give you the Thai price when you show them your retirement visa or long stay visa. Chinatown is a good place to experience jammed stalls and people.
