That all depends. I took a trip on one of these VIP buses to enjoy a bit of the scenery vs getting there in 1 hour & seeing nothing but a seat in front of me. I would travel by VIP bus again vs taking a plane. Just saying.....

Yeah, must have done something to piss the Thai's off

Haha, I bet the new owner probably curing you right now

effin ridiculous......TiT This place sometimes, does my head in.

When I came to stay in Thailand, I did so for weather like this.

Agree, but as OP mentioned, they seem to be trying to avoid the situation & hope OP goes away. I guess with some evidence, he may stand a better chance of at least getting a new pair made. Wouldn't hold out much hope for a full refund though.

Really, how will it be proven? It will be a case of he said, she said.

Well then if they are taken back and can't (won't) be corrected, you're sh!t out of luck. You're basically out of options.

Since he is a falang, most likely it would be binding (or a way will be found for it to be), so lets say if he went to the Police and asked but I'd bet it may have been a bit different if he were a Thai National. yeah, TiT.

You can start by donating to his 'GoFundMe' fund since you're so sympathetic. Sure, no one wishes harm to anyone who was just trying to have a bit of fun, but when you take those risks & they are quite big, you may end up paying a price.

Most ridiculous-looking piece of apparel i have seen in a long time. I cringe when I see all these tourist in them at the airport

A lesson in life. FB is only face to face transactions. Sure the is a good chance the seller is genuine & will send the product as promised, but there a risks now with more and more people selling, taking the money and ghosting. Be wise & smarter or you'll be that fool who's money has not departed.

Scratch that, I'm sure you'd have all docs to support the massive amount of cash you are carrying...ofc ourse...

Unless you are planning to take it back to Australia, the trick is how you plan on getting it past customs, other than not declaring it... and you would have a fair idea of what happens if you got caught I'd imagine.

A Nation with absolutely zero respect for human life. Driving on the highway near Bangna Central, and this dude in a luxury car, sped past me at about 150 km, dodging traffic and using all 4 lanes over-taking cars. Just ******* unbelievable.

Registered to a Hotel in Samut Prakan? Well we (partner) did a TM30 online as I'm staying with her. Does that still count or I need to go to CW ???

Thanks BAP, I'm on a SETV and want to extend for another 30 days, but hate the thought of going all the way to Changwattana. I'm not too far from the Samut Prakan office, so was hopeful it could be an alternative options. So you recommended, Tue/Wed/Thur ???

Thanks, wasn't aware of this, but I will look into it.

And to think i clicked on this thread.

Can I assume when you say "Extension of Stay" you are referring to extending a Tourist Visa for another 30 days.??? If not, can I do a 30-day extension after my Tourist Visa expires at Samut Prakan Immigration office as I am staying around the Bang na area & have been going to CW for my 30 day extensions. Cheers

Well said. OP is furious yet if he wasn't there then he has no idea what really happened. Not saying the stepdaughter is not telling the truth, but OP is going of only one side of the story. I bet we would hear a different version from the other driver.

Come on, as if he has a girlfriend he is planning to marry..

500 baht. You stingy barsta

Some of these replies are hilarious. Seems people forget we are in Thailand, and not back home.......... ie. TiT

Seriously effed-up world we live in when Grannies top the list. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, leave the poor old ladies alone.
