A good article thank you.

Thai Enquirer is one of the very few publications that does not give in to the whims of the censors and the government.

They are not afraid to tell the truth.

 

Is it also owned by Fox coz thats what they would say, well they all would wouldnt they ?

Hi, I had to exchange my UK license for a local (European country) one  when I moved there more than 20 years ago. I phoned the local licences authority  and asked them where my licence was - they had sent it back - to the DVLA it seems.

The DVLA will  NOT issue UK licences to non-UK residents.
 

Can I use my European one instead to get a Thai licence? I would prefer definitive answers and not opinions ???? I will be applying in Chiang Mai and I am well aware every office is different when it comes to things like this.

In Thailand there are no definitive answers because often it is different from office/r to office/r so there can only be opinions of which way it can go, I believe.

You couldn't make it up. 

You go put and buy an expensive sub ( which is of no use to you whatsoever) and then ..... you go looking for an engine!! 

Hilarious, except the poor Thais have to pay for this monumental cluster f##k to satisfy some stupid old guys egos .....and of course pockets. 

Thats nothing, next year they are putting out tenders for the procurement of snow ploughs (with engines).

So the person on the left is a "Mr"?  Ok thats sorted.

more than 10 officers will be summoned for questioning tomorrow.

Tomorrow?  Is that enough time for them to get together and get their story straIght?  Why not snail mail the summons to give them more time.

I have a long-term semi-detached house in Kamala and a Russian couple moved in next door at the beginning of the year - pleasant people and no problem at all.

What is so hard to believe about your post that some fruitcake has to laugh (emoji)?  Good thing hes not next door.

Yesterday, Phuket authorities refuted allegations that the island has been overrun by Russians, including members of the mafia.

I would imagine that is all they could say if the allegations are true, thats how the mafia works?? lol!

You mean just like the setting price for lottery tickets at B80, we all know how well that is going. TIT

I am sure there will be police on hand to press these new requirements........not!  It will just be one more set of laws that wont be policed like as you say, the price of the lottery.

The girls that fall for a scam like this are usually uneducated girls from poor families. Don’t be harsh.

It could be lack of education but I believe its greed blinding many.  For example I met a girl working in an eatery near Udon Thani who told me of a Nigerian she met online who was arriving in the near future but wanted to send his luggage first.  It was like she was telling me a joke but didnt get the punch line herself.  My wife and I tried to warn her of the consequences and chances of something going wrong but she would not here of it, she seemed to have taken the hook plus the line and sinker.  Next time we went that way the eatery was gone so no idea of the outcome.

they probably knew that it was more than massage, they can't say this here, however they get tricked as they didn't get the money promised, instead to be sex workers they were slaves. 100 000 bahts per month for sex workers isn't that much and they could even have friend making this amount in India, the problem here is that they got scammed.

100k a month for an average sex worker in Bagkok would be a lot of money.

Thats nearly a kilo each consumed!   Geez and I thought Isaan girls had good apetites lol!

I thought the first question would have been "can you eat it"? lol

This is laughable.  For this to succeed they will have to loosen so many restrictive laws on employment, investment and ownership.  This will never happen. 

plus everybody else learn to speak Thai
