    Exactly my first thoughts; there does not seem to be a Thai word for 'maintenance'.

    I never buy any shoes. I just trade them in at any shop which insists you go in barefooted.

    It's nearly the end of the month.

    Stepfathers are actual motherfockers.

    Silly me. I bought & paid 100% for every brick; every stick of furniture; every plant in the garden and thought that equals ownership! Meanwhile an ex-Prime Minister was buying and owning 100% three UK houses AND a football club!

    It saves the police doing anything resembling work.

    My son was held to ransom when his sisters sent him some Honey Locketts for his birthday. Because he lives in Bangkok he suffers from a persistent cough. It cost him far more than 35 baht to liberate them. It's a scam; a thriving industry, for as long as I can remember.

    Once Pattaya forms a Police force, these taxi drivers will have to obey the law.

    Plod rapidly on the scene after the event.

    He certainly showed her who was boss.

    Treat them Mean, Keep them Kean. Marrying is akin to winning the lottery; to be able to take things easy whilst enjoying the comforts of wealth. It manifests itself in a variety of ways: laziness; greed; taking advantage of kindness; weight-gain! I've travelled both routes - having a TGF beats having a wife.

    'Acting on Information received'. Is there an address where I can send the name of the Thai audit company that helped my ex-wife defraud me of my house by altering the % of shareholders without my knowledge?

    SOP: driving off after an accident; self-denial; then lies.

    A place where Thai police go to get away from it all.

    If you are driving at a speed commensurate with the conditions you should spot a parked bike; therefore I conclude 'negligence'.

    Meanwhile on the roads, mayhem continued unchecked.

    There's such piles all over the country because the foremen in charge are useless at Maths.

    It took only a 'short time'.

    Google maps has often led me astray in Pattaya.

    Were their parents not worried?

    It must be nearly payday. The above post highlights the practice of calling in the police to avoid paying a month's wage. The Thai employers are never arrested.

    There's a lot of 'undercover agents' in Pattaya police; so many they're totally invisible.

    When seat belts were first introduced in UK, they weren't universally applauded. Police action eventually won people over. IF Pattaya formed a police force that made motor cyclists wear helmets; stopped red-light runners; eradicated drunk driving, then the daily Road Kill (estimated at 48 per day across Thailand) would come down enormously. Even a minor shunt can bring the whole of central Pattaya to a standstill.

    after years of community headaches? Who awards these contracts? Why are there no punitive damages for failing to finish on time? Rhetorical questions, I know.
  25. mikebell
    Severe penalties for 'Disturbing the Police.'
