  1. well I have seen it and I did not have to digging around in a cellar, it was shown to me when I went for my test and licence, and it is there for Thais to read but they don’t and nobody cares.
  2. The Highway Code of Thailand is very similar to the UK one and it clearly states that drivers must stop if someone is on the crossing waiting to cross, sadly Thais have little knowledge of road rules and even less of where the brake is so they think that impact is the correct way to stop.
  3. It’s Thai reporting logic in the vane of “The CAR lost control “ god knows what the driver was doing.
  4. Bet you have lost count of how many times you have seen a cop on a bike not only going on the wrong side of the road. But also not wearing a helmet. I know I have and after 22 years I have stopped bothering to notice.. ENFORCEMENT is an easy word to spell but it seems impossible to understand
  5. Sorry I have no info regarding that however you could call customer services and if memory serves me ext 9 will get to an English speaker so you can ask. Sorry for the delay to reply but I have been travelling and not using my IPad. Hope this helps you. regards
  6. Because they take homes and land for security just like the mafia loan sharks. I have knowledge of one family where the mother borrowed just 350,000baht to buy a car for an errant boyfriend who never paid even the first payment so the bank took the car and sold it but retained the debt and subsequently foreclosed on more than 4 million of property for just 350,000baht. The ex boyfriend will now be working his magic on another hapless family whilst the family I know about are now homeless and destitute.
  7. Sadly it has always been this way the not want to work brigade gets the cake and cream and everyone else pays for it.
  8. Hell no he is bleating so much it will be the shrink who is on the brink for real
  9. Maybe you should ask the Poles, they came to the UK worked for one year got tax credits went back to Poland and the tax credits continue to be paid monthly
  10. Yes we have to continue to work to pay benefits to rubbish whilst being taxed for every effort we put in
  11. Entirely without prejudice By thieving from honest British taxpayers. I hope she gets everything she deserves and more besides. Keep her in a Thai prison for as long as possible because British prisons are holiday camps PLEASE DO NOT GIVE FUNDS TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT
  12. Because I discovered years ago that it is impossible to educate pork
  13. How would you, know? Of course clouded views and ignorance are very easy bed buddies
  14. Yes it was and I will tell you why, entirely without prejudice, it was because Stalin knew that by committing all of his forces and telling them they could rape and pillage every country they went through to push the Germans back they would do it and he would subsequently gain rule over all of Eastern Europe forcing communism on all of it which latterly became the iron curtain, all of this is evidenced by the sectioning of Germany east and west. Stalin was a gross serial murderer sending millions to there deaths in the gulags both before and after WW2 but the west did a deal with him largely because it had to in order to gain some stability in an already exhausted Europe, and as history will tell you if you choose to read it correctly that, that was the only reason Stalin became an ally, which abruptly ended as soon as the East West divide was signed. It is a sad statement to make but President Chump although not quite there yet is isolating America from the rest of the world and causing severe and strong hatred by his despotic signing of executive orders in a willy nilly fashion without considering any of the consequences. He runs around spouting that he will make America great again completely forgetting that 98% of any technology, tools and anything else one cares to think about comes from the one country that America should be heavily concerned about and if he thinks that a stupid tariff will deter them he should think again. Don’t believe me? Well consider this while President Chump has been running around like a headless chicken that country has just laid overall claim to the last undiscovered area of this planet 6,000 feet down on the seabed, suck on that if you dare. Of course we must not forget his immature unelected sidekick who is holding the stings of puppetry over the chump and working them for all his worth. I feel happy to be the age that I am largely because I fear for the world when the once great country of America is finally brought to it’s knees by a bullying despot more interested in doing deals than helping to protect the world. It should be remembered that a very big part of Americas greatness was in it’s willingness to protect, and from that came the great technological advances it made over the years since WW2. God rest America the land of the free, well, for now anyway. All of the above is entirely without prejudice
  15. I can understand the mental stress from that situation, I just felt that a derogatory comment was unjustified
  16. I think you are correct and the better plan would have been to prostrate the body on the row of seats cover it up and move all those in close contact into other seats premium eco, business, or even first for the duration of the flight.
  17. My reference was to the person on the aircraft who sadly became the butt of some sick jokers and deserved better than that. I did not make reference to any forum member, the use of the word “ Here “ was a general term However as for the death of forum members there is usually someone who knew the departed and would place a comment on the sad demise without the use of sick jokes
  18. Only if one has a warped mind which you obviously do. Perhaps one should remind you that someone died here so do you really think it is right and proper to make fun of it????
  19. Heartless uncaring and downright despicable comment best kept to oneself, but sadly to date 6 others found it funny and one degenerate even applauded it. sad world
  20. WhatsApp works call and video but not to a landline. True move works on calls to a landline if you use 00600 and then your area code, calls to the UK cost me 1 baht a minute, can’t help you about costs to USA but you can ask them. Other telephone companies will probably provide the same services so check out the Sim you use
  21. No first let them do time here, if they get sent home to do it they will be released early and available to do it again do do it here and on release firing squad will sort for good
  22. I am 78 years old and on a state pension which is probably less than yours but I put money aside to pay for my travel insurance which all comes out of my state pension. And just to enlighten you it is known as managing one’s money to achieve the things one wants in life without denigrating others or being a burden to others, ( you millionaire lot indeed ) and as for entitlement, some of us get off our fat A’s and do, but other just find it easier to do nothing more than bitch about their self created lot, if you want better you should DO better.
  23. I agree with you 98% with the other 2% being taken up by the reality that insurance companies apart from bankers are probably the most corrupt companies on the planet, every action they take is underhand and designed to remove themselves from the responsibility that we all trustingly pay them for. I myself travel with £10,000,000 cover BUT trying to get a definitive answer from them when it comes to ALL of the things they will cover and take responsibility for is not easily forthcoming, so one lives in fear that in the event of something untoward happening one’s insurance company will be for armed with a way of getting out of it that it did not impart at the time of taking out the insurance. I have commented here in the past about travellers duty to themselves and others regarding 100% foolproof insurance but on reflection I would dearly love to know how one can find it.
  24. Sadly it is one of Amazons many anomalies, I like a large cup of coffee to sit in store to drink it but it is an impossible request, resulting in a blank stare and no matter how I explain and pointing to the large mugs they have on top of the coffee machine my request always results in a complete disregard and a small cup is delivered, WHY? I have not got a clue ! Apparently the large mugs are only for tea ????? And so to get round this I order2 cups and request an empty mug which when the coffee arrives gets filled up to bewildered gapes from staff who find it impossible to comprehend my actions to obtain a large cup of coffee. Quit obviously the brain dead moronic jobs worth who trains the staff suffers from the same lack of understanding. I to have knocked Amazon coffee on the head and gone elsewhere, which is sad really because the coffee is not bad and it is not rocket science to put a little more water in a bigger cup is it AMAZON
