  1. He'll soon have enough for a one-way ticket to Dubai.
  2. Or rabies; or road traffic accident; or crazed police.
  3. Except the 'connected' guilty.
  4. As are those for helmet wearing; black windscreens; drunk driving; dogs not on a lead?
  5. Even worse when you throw in Pattaya Plod as the investigating unit.
  6. Another five year bonanza for lawyers; at the end of which all high-ups will be cleared of any wrongdoing and a couple of Somchais thrown in the clink for a month.
  7. They use deposits to generate income through interest. If Thailand is a supposed superpower in IT it doesn't cost any more to withdraw cash in your home town as it does in a far-off city.
  8. She was mistaken for an Indian man.
  9. I had mine installed by a local company. Two weeks later I ran low on gas; the 'engineer' had failed to tighten things up & it was leaking gas every day. No refund so I changed company. How to build clientele - Thai style.
  10. The boards should be renewed as frequently as the sand - at least twice a year.
  11. They are the most hated and feared institution in Thailand; the laziest and most inept; responsible for possibly thousands of deaths a year for their collective failure on the roads.
  12. Agreed. When I first moved here I got 73 & managed to spend all of it every month. Now austerity has set in + my UK pension is the same as it was 15 years ago.
  13. There's the problem - they're all Thais who will turn a blind eye for twenty baht.
  14. The best place to eat Thai food is anywhere in Europe where the quality of meat & vegetables does not depend on being grown in sand - AKA Issaan.
  15. Giant elastic bands - we have loads of spare rubber.
  16. Don't they charge you for taking it out if you're outside the banks' area? My Bangkok Bank's account is based in Pattaya & I am sure I got dinged for a withdrawal in Bangkok.
  17. I thought they passed another law that police refuse to enforce about five years back.
  18. His rivals for the award were three plastic traffic cones.
  19. You shouldn't disturb a sleeping dog or a parked driver.
  20. Thailand (or any country) with no police force in a nutshell.
  21. Convoys of buses pouring in to see the disappearing beach.
  22. Another triumph for RTP scouring homes in the burning heat of Facebook.
