Been to some farangs new builds and they have the daft low level bathroom door frame. WHY, on a new build that they are paying for.

Don't think he can as what he did was stupid and the embassy knows the passport belongs to the the government, not to him.Speak to your embassy for advice as it's illegal for anyone to hold your passport, Whether they would actually take any action is another story given it's common knowledge not to hand over your passport to anyone as a surety. Do you have a written agreement in place with the doctor for partial payment, subject to satisfactory outcome? More than likely you are "over the barrel" given you need to leave Thailand within seven days.

Yep, but Tesco's sells various Heinz vinegars including Malt.It's not just in Thailand that you find petroleum-based "vinegar". What is euphemistically referred to as "non-brewed condiment" is what passes for vinegar in many a British fish and chip shop.

Your passport belongs to your government and should not be used for any purpose other than passing through borders. In LOS you are ''supposed'' to carry it at all times. Think you have created your own problem.

I remember that series.Casablanca.
One to ponder over is..........Enemy at the door.
ooooooooop's, that should have read ''Enemy at the Gates'', must have been thinking subconsciously about my ex wife.
I spent quite sometime looking for enemy at the door and found this british tv drama
http://imdb.com/title/tt0122818/
Sounds interesting. Thank you for your mistake.

Good reply, and OP should be aware that the petrol Vido is a slug.I have no experience of the Hilux but it was only released last month so that explains why you're unlikely to find any reviews. It's a factory-approved conversion so will be covered by all the standard Toyota warranties. The claimed cost is accurate for all the time the truck is running on CNG; you probably know that you must start every trip on petrol for a few kms and then change to CNG. All the times you have to run the Hilux on petrol will cost much more than the Almera; it wouldn't be ideal for short commutes. For example, if you drive 12km to work and back everyday, then you'd be running on petrol for 25% of the time so wouldn't save quite as much as you'd expect. You'd have to offset any savings with the long-term cost of maintenance for the CNG system and any time you waste finding and queueing at service stations. If you live and intend to travel around areas with CNG filling stations (ie Bangkok) then the truck will be ideal (for businesses etc).

Pic looks quite normal stuff to me. Usually nobody can go home cos some twonk has blocked everyone in.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, do you drive on the correct side of the road, do you have lights on at night, do you never drink and drive, do you never phone your pals whilst driving ? If you answered NO to any of these then forget your para flying stuff.
Repair a parachute.It will be easier if you say what you to do with silk nylon parachute material, how many thick (210T etc.) do you need.
There is a parachute factory in Chonburi, this factory sell parachute and also repair it, I don't know if they have silk nylon for sale or not.
These are shops that you can buy nylon ;

Sure, but if she let a lad drive the thing then anything can happen.
Was she driving ?Do you know all the facts of this case? The other case you refer to has very different circumstances and consequences. I have posted my comments on threads connected with that appalling example of injustice already and will not repeat them here.
Unless you know this family personally, then how are you qualified to make your comments? Or are these a stereotyping of rich children based on your experiences, biases and worldviews? Please tell us you social science qualifactions and the extended research you have carried out to support your in depth opinions on the minds of children from wealthy families. Was this research in Thailand or have you carried out more extensive investigations.
"The truth is that accidents do not happen ........" <deleted> - so all the people who have been tragically killed in aircraft "accidents" weren't paying attention ad got what life dished out!! Great comment - illustrates your logical reasoning thought process and facilitates assessment of your whole post content.
your logic isnt so sound, either, bud. so an airplane, a means of travel in which the passengers have absolutely no control over the outcome, is the same as a car? umm...no
when you drive a car, especially a high end car like an S series, you are 100% responsible for what happens. this girl 100% caused this accident. its her fault. maybe she was high, drunk, sleepy, texting...who knows! we will never know. perhaps the entire study story is a cover by the father to save face. we'll never know.
but the facts speak for themselves. a rich, undoubtedly spoiled 21 year old girl who was on the verge of being FED stardom happened to be driving on an extremely safe passage of road with virtually no traffic in perhaps the safest sedan on the market...and she somehow managed to drive off the elevated expressway and kill not only herself, but take the life of her friend as well. ya, lets cry all day for her and her incompetent father
SHE KILLED SOMEONE!
certainly no tears here.
was it not her car? how could we assume anything else? lets say she wasnt driving her own car...once again, she made a poor choice by letting her friend drive a car with which she had limited experience.
but the above is not the issue. the issue is how the hell did someone go over the wall at 5:30 on a weekday when theres hardly any traffic?
id also argue that the benz may have sealed their death because it is so physically strong and powerful. a compact/cheap car would have likely not made it over the wall and just crashed on the elevated expressway, perhaps giving the girls a chance to live. of course, not wearing seatbelts would have probably sealed their fate, regardless.

Read your post again.Sorry we cannot adjust to your needs. There are a few places in Ubon but you should really ask here before slagging the place off. You want Bangkok stuff, then stay in Bangkok.
Very touchy first reply - don't recall slagging anybody off though. And I am asking
Why not ask again where you can have a knee's up.

Is your point that you are a farang or Thai teenager ?God has nothing to do with it, good driving skills do though. Love this website.....my Great-Grandfather used to talk about something from TV called a Muppet Show about these two old farts sitting in the balcony. Too old to do anything but complain about others......I hear Tesco has a sale this week on Depends. Anybody tell me what the average age of the "contributors" are on this site?
By the way my comment was based on my opinion having lived and driven in these countries. I am too busy racing up and down my soi without a helmet to look up facts!
I see Westerners every day at the guest house banged up from motorbikes and they are all either British or US. If they are such good drivers why so many?

Many assumptions here. We do not know what she was doing all night, BUT, she could have had a few hours sleep, after studying till the early hours,.and then drove home when she/they woke up. Thais sleep when tired at the drop of a pin.
Perhaps she was not driving the ride, perhaps someone used to a scooter was.

You were never a young ?Daughter of actor Kowit killed in car accident
The Nation
BANGKOK: -- The youngest daughter of wellknown actor Kowit Wattanakul was killed yesterday morning after her Mercedes Benz plunged off an overpass in Bangkok. She succumbed to her injuries at a hospital, while her friend was killed at the scene.
Matawee Wattanakul, 21, left behind her family and what promised to be a bright future.
She passed away at the Paolo Memorial Paholyothin Hospital after sustaining brain injuries, skull fractures and lung damage.
Also killed in the accident was Jakpong Jarernphon, 22.
They were returning from a study session arranged by their classmates when the accident took place at 5.30am. They were scheduled to take an exam today.
Both victims were fourthyear students at Kasetsart University's Faculty of Humanities.
Matawee's father Kowit Wattanakul, a famous actor, could not hold back tears when talking about her death.
"It's the biggest loss in my life," he said.
The loving father said he had kissed her on the cheek when she left home Wednesday night.
"She didn't want to leave home that night but her friends insisted," he recounted. "Finally, I gave her permission to go to her friend's home."
He hoped this accident would remind all parents that the safest place for their children to prepare for their exams was their own home.
Matawee's elder sister, Mintita Wattanakul, said no one should drive while sleepy. Mintita, widely known as Mint AF3, has already made her name in show biz, and was convinced Matawee was about to follow in her footsteps.
Kowit said he planned to let Matawee star in two movies. "I don't know whether I can work further on these two movie projects now that she's gone," he said.
He described his youngest daughter as a good and talented person. "She's very good at English. The other day, I talked about the possibility of securing her a job at the Tourism Ministry," Kowit said.

They must have been very dedicated students to be studying until 5:30 AM!

Bit below the belt that chum, as the biggest whingers l have met are yanks. Moaning about how much money they have to stuff in their pockets.Running red light competition. First to run over a whinging old age pensioner from Britain gets the Gold !
There you have it, how many dollars can be stuffed into a pair of Hawaiian shorts.

With 260,000,000 folk to sift through they should do well. Just imagine if UK had four times the population to sift to competeThailand could have done better but at least they did win medals for their country. Thai athletes like all the olympians that come to compete, are the best of their country and put their heart and soul into the competition to make their country proud. Nobody mentions of course the USA, leader in both Gold and total medal count. Rock on America!
, USA would be buried.

A friend of mine fell for the usual trick where the paint came off and scratches showed up when he brought it back. He was asked to pay US $5000. After 2 hours of trying to argue, a policeman arrived at the scene. After another hour of arguing, the jet-ski owner pointed a gun to my friend's head. The police stood by, and told my friend he should pay the guy. He withdrew the US $3000 left in his atm and gave it to the guy.
The cop did well out of it, BUT, didn't think you could draw that sum from an ATM ?.
