  1. From whom? Cambodian fishermen? With torpedoes?
  2. Typically the Pattaya police will not meddle with any wrong-doers unless there is a chance of financial reward.
  3. Luckily the owner had renewed his Fire Insurance only last week.
  4. Pattaya police are invisible and tarnish Pattaya's image every time they do become noted.
  5. Koh Chang. He had to recant his review publicly after a night in the cells.
  6. I arrived from Dubai last night, prepared to play my old-age card to circumvent Immigration queues. No need; no queues; two mins & through with my re-entry stamp. Baggage a further 15 minutes. NamNam taxi waiting at Meeting Point so on the road in well under one hour. No sign of any congestion; any where.
  7. Dubai?
  8. So what are the consequences if I don't do it? On previous occasions when I've handed in the form + photo-copies, they've snatched it without looking. My 800K is in a fixed saving account and I never touch it. Normally I just grit my teeth but this year I will be away on the demand date.
  9. They usually call it suicide if there's any (investigative) work required.
  10. Did she not see the warning twigs placed on the ground in front of the building work?
  11. Obviously a trumped-up charge. Pattaya police have announced there is no prostitution on numerous occasions.
  12. Having just mastered the on-line 90 day reporting; can anyone justify the requirement to take my up-dated 800K bankbook for a personal visit after getting my annual extension?
  13. With a C in 'O' level GCE General Science, (65 years ago), I am as well qualified as most Thai doctors. I stopped going to hospitals when a doctor diagnosed my long term TGF's ear infection as a STD. I bought her a new pair of head phones for her mobile + antibiotics from my local Fascinos; cured within 3 days.
  14. Tanks? Armoured cars? Tear Gas? Water cannon? The Army Government's answer to Democracy.
  15. 90% of Thai workers will be asked to work a full day instead of keeping police hours.

  17. but my guess is they put the roof on before building the walls.
  18. Heart warming indeed. I felt sure our hero would be a taxi driver to counter the thug stories. Why would the tourist 'initially fabricating a story about a lost silver bracelet'?
  19. 'Police Hunt Down Culprit for Attack on Elderly Dutch Tourist in Chonburi' or put another way, 'have not yet hunted down culprit.' I was about to congratulate (for the 1st time ever) the local police (who are still waiting for someone to blab and do their job for them as every other day.)
  20. This is Prawit's day job. Maybe he has a night job too?
