thought foreigners can not own land in Thailand or is it a special deal with Russians they can own land... it baffles me to see so many houses being built, majority advertised for sale in English, and yet we can not own land, are Thais that rich they can afford to buy these houses listed for 3,99 mil baht an up, somehow they must as they don't stay empty for long... still baffled by all of it

 Not individuals. But there are a number of legal ways to buy/own land by company or proxy. A Thai lawyer easy make it happen.

Have set a max amount we prepared to spend on it. If it goes over that we will just walk away. 

 

Sadly I expect you walk away after you are bled dry with legal fees and promises promises to make all good for just a few dollars more.

If the taxi apps are illegal then how is that the illegal apps are available to download in TH?

Not the apps it's the drivers that are illegal

"illegal taxi app drivers"

Another car moving at speed appears to have jumped the light. Then the taxi came along. The mbike must have seen that first car and should have be more careful. He was lucky the taxi did not tbone him. Likely would have been fatal.

 Actually it is the other way around as we drive left here: left right left.

Here I look right then left then right. Approaching traffic comes in left side lane. So that's the immediate risk.  Then look traffic left in far side of road way.

What on earth happened, what direction was the pick up traveling in or the motorbike?. none are seen passing the camera until after the event. reading the full story is of no help.

Pickup travel left to right at high speed. Struck the bike (I suspect bike middle road signal right turn). Pick up hits bike and slews clockwise across road facing wrong way on right side side walkway. 

Recent news story says that police removed the campers on Patong Beach.

2 week ago drove from Kata to airport. Mid week about 10.30. Usual one hour ish.

I agree that all the BKK Group hospitals are first class. However they charge 5 star prices fully loaded. We have always had heath insurance to pay all the inpatient bills. My last procedure just in September I was shocked to see the final price when i signed the paper work.

I use a guy on the dark side. Mrcool think it's name. I asked him to replace my compressor but he said no need . It's only the clutch part and I can replace it at 1/5 th the cost. 

Let me know if you need the details and I'll chase em up.hes an old school chap who has a bit of dignity. I find all the Sukhumvit guys a bit dishonest to completely dishonest.

Dark Side ??? You talk Pattaya. ?? This Phuket Forum

I can only recommend the guy in Chalong just past Wat Chalong going north left side about 500m. Over the years I have had poor service the other options. Now stay with this guy 3 years now.

Why has this thread gone so quiet?

The entire Phuket Forum has gone very very quiet .....

All the roads are much busier now. Many more minibuses and see a lot more large buses.

to me should be NO TRAFFIC access ridiculous to allow vehicles there

Yes, the road should be closed but it is a main road and diversion not so easy, but it is possible with a little forward planning .... mmm.  I use that road often and each year of veg week I avoid that stretch of road. Use the residential parallel road.

We tried register a new guest yesterday. Directed to new site where we had to register again for new password. Once into site we had to transmit our document files. after all that we could not get confirmation our guest actually in the system.

 

Guess I we have to study help topic mentioned above. 

I tried today to check our new guest and today and my guest was entered in the system ok. My error as I did not select which of our 3 properties to make the search. In the old system we has a username and password each property. This new site we can enter all 3 properties. Makes much easier for me. Just need remember to select which property. All in all a big improvement. Just wish they has a print receipt function. I have to use print screen function collect in Paint app. Trim page and save with a new file name. Then send file to my guest.
