Another reason to avoid Pattaya these days. Way too overbuilt, overcrowded and noisy. I want a quiet retirement!!

Move to Hua Hin buddy,much calmer

Songkran, a time when the stupid get even stupider.

They can't add 2 + 1 without a calculator! Testimony to their education system!

I ordered 2 pizzas at 200 baht each and the waitress used a calculator to give me a bill

And once again a Thai proves how violent this culture is and all because of someones driving, there is something seriously wrong in lots of Thais heads.

Lets be honest this is a violent culture.

How about just for once we could read a post ,make some sensible comments and move on .

Instead of the bickering and arguing and personal attacks that most posts seem to cause these days? Asking for a friend.

I once overstayed without knowing it... 

 

I had a 5 year visa...  each entry gave me 90 days, at the time I somehow misunderstood and thought that I had a weeks grace to get an extension of stay for another 90 days (1900 baht).

 

Once at Chaengwattana I was shocked to find out I had to pay an overstay fine !!!...  genuine mistake. No issues from Immigration at all, they handled it simply...

 

BUT...  some posters on here would want me deported for the overstay !!! 

 

 

My question to those who want overstayers treated so harshly....  Is overstaying a crime that has victims ?

... i.e. if someone overstays their visa, what are the consequences for innocent others ?

 

 

 

 

I think a 75 day overstay is a little more serious than a week, of course i may be wrong and someone might want me hung and then deported.

Whatever advice you receive, don't forget to factor in 'lady drinks'........they could amount to 20% of your expenditure........managed to run up a 2800 baht bar bill the other night on soi 8.....and I was only there a couple of hours.

ooooh i bet they love you on Soi 8

So, probably stole hundreds of millions of Baht and will get 4 months in jail? pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

 

You missed the fact that the sentence was suspended, so he got away with it effectively.

I removed my toilet last week so i can tile floor, no seal and only fixed down by cement. I did find an empty plastic milk bottle under the toilet, why someone would do that i cant imagine TIT! What amazes me is the small size of the hole in the base of the toilet which was just hovering over the 4" soil pipe , the floor was soaking wet under there.

I think its a reasonable assumption that living can be dangerous.

Most thais ride motorbikes without helmets and ride on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic ,they also like to weave in and out of traffic in a dangerous manner this being why so many are killed every year. But it would appear that RTP are more bothered by someone vaping, there is something wrong here.

Where is the photo op exposing their faces and all the pointing?

I am starting to think that finger pointing skills are not what they used to be, its a dying art.

Don't wish to grow old here. 

Want the wife,  to see and  be part of the real world.

she can then make her own choices.

same as  stepdaughter can do, if she chooses. to stay in the Thai Matrix or not. ( she is welcome to come as well)

I have seen most of it over here. warts and all.

23 years now, time to move on.

Not interested in 23 years more, it will just be same same but same.

a little bit tired of Thai so called culture.

Could make a new thread as to why I will relocate.

but, not interested in the 3000 pages of  BS.

The day I leave, when ever that is , will be .

So Long and thanks for all the jumps. 

 

 

Yes im starting to feel the same way, thanks for the reply

Relocate back to uk in the next 3/4 years.

Stop surfing porn over 3 hours a day.

Try and only drink at social events.

 

 

 

Why do you want to relocate? not my business but im interested

So some Thais put up prices when they saw tourists, nothing new there been happening for ever.

Its nice that everything can be done within the confines of your own estate, somewhere to live ,food delivered ,and  someone to stab you all without leaving your area.This is obviously a step forward in modern living.

We brought our dog (half cavalier and half cocker spaniel) a few months ago we used a company called Pet Air .Most airlines insist on a proper agency being used. We were going to use Thai air to fly him but at the last minute they refused, apparently they consider that Cavaliers have breathing difficulties. Pet air then arranged for Ethiopian airlines to fly him which i was worried about but it turns out they fly a lot of dogs. The problem was that he had to wait 1 day before he could fly and then do a stop over in Addis Abbaba so it meant he took 3 days to get here, we waited in a hotel at Suvarnabhumi then had to find the agents office in the cargo area. The whole deal cost £2000 and was very stressful. Just to be clear we are from the UK.
