  1. You make a lot of sense. And Portugal is a perfect example. However I dont think that kind of good sense can be tolerated here.
  2. I can just hear that knock at the door Wednesday arvo...."err do you remember we let you out in June because the cannabis laws were changed, well its changed again so we need you to go pack your toothbrush and come along with us please, there's a good lad" lol!
  3. Oh I thought the Textron T-6C Texan II turboprop trainers were some kind of running shoes that Thai pilots wore for doing a runner after they crash.
  4. Well said but unfortunately 'big power' never learnt from its previous disasters in the region or elsewhere.
  5. Its all a big misunderstanding, the boys were there on an under cover surveillance job. And they had plastic bags in their pockets to prove they were on the job ????
  6. Im waiting for the good news about the guy next bed wanting to buy his slippers hahaha!
  7. No-one is disputing that it was easy for you to register for anything or get free/easy treatment because you have the YB/PK?? You stated: "When it was bill time I was not charged the full foreigner price but was charged on a lower pricing tier. " That is what I am saying is wrong. Where does it tier Foreigner with YB/PK as against Foreigner without YB/PK, the latter I imagine is the folk you claim are paying the "full foreigner price"? And no, wrong again, I did get up on the right side this morning as I do most days. Have great day!
  8. Wrong. There are actually 4 tiers. None of them mention anything about a yellow book or pink card. They are: 1. a Thai person, 2. A farang from neighbouring country, 3. A farang working on a Non Im B, and 4. a farang tourist or expat. https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/dual-pricing-foreigners-legal-thai-public-hospitals/
  9. Was that 8, or 8 million pills? International drug smuggler? Hardly seems worth the ink on this news item let alone the journalists time lol!
  10. Hasnt been a problem yet and as already stated I had to do it recently. \
  11. Yes and it happened about a year ago. Just a matter of advising the hospitals justy the same as you would with the banks. No big deal in my experience. Getting a yellow book in my area...almost impossible and pointless as most up my way dont recognise it.
  12. Judging by recent history you think they would be looking at ex police with a history of problems with drugs/guns instead of people on over stay.
  13. I think you will find the same can be said about passport number. Thats how I found it with all hospitals up my way even through the covid pandemic. I didnt register for the Mor Chor? covid app but instead they were able to source my info with passport number when having my vax's/boosters etc.
  14. Yes thats how I found it attending 2 different traffic offices in Isaan. As you said, its always best to check with your local offices as requirements differ.
  15. Why bother? I have been here in Thailand for nearly 20 years, worked for over 10 years in Bangkok and have never had a yellow book, never needed a yellow book, never been asked for a yellow book, and never found anybody up my way who knows what a yellow book is (except farang).
  16. No he would need a few more guns than that...nice try though lol!
  17. Yes, brilliant expose. McNamara crunched the numbers and calculated what no-one aroiund wanted to hear.....that it was impossible for the US to win that war. With the Fire Bombing of Japan, what many dont realise is that Japanese Cities then were mostly wooden. Add to that the inhumane use of incendary bombs (napalm), most Japanese cities were already more than 50% destroyed BEFORE the nuclear bombs were dropped. This fact prompted McNamara to ask why was it necessary to drop them. We all know the answer to that.
  18. Back in Australia I always had utes (pick-ups).....and hence a lot of friends too lol!
  19. We use one of those large ice boxes in the back. Handy to keep the shopping dry and cool, even frozen stuff. It can be locked with a padlock and we also use a chain to the same padlock so the box cant be nicked. Box can easily be lifted out if need to cart sand etc. Very cheap for what they are and very handy as we live remote and have to travel for some shopping needs.
  20. I dont know about that news article but I was talking about Burns' documentary still blaming the North for the attack.
  21. Its no wonder this guy became a raging murderer after the system let him down so badly again and again!
  22. You dont think the fact you were 1 tonne overloaded had anything to do with it? LOl!
