Just now, Saltire said:While corruption does annoy me, in Thailand it irritates me more having to go to the UK embassy and paying £50 (2000 Baht) for a residence certificate as my local IO and amphur refuse to issue them.
Even if they did, they are not accepted at the local DLT who insist on an embassy one anyway.
I'd be happy to pay a few hundred (yes illegal) baht to avoid what for me is an expensive trip to Bangkok. 300 Baht is a bargain compared to an 8 hour each-way drive and an overnight hotel, just for an A4 sheet of paper. Some might call this corruption.
Get yourself sorted with a yellow book, sorted, no need for resident certs anymore, easy.

This so-called government have come up with some crazy ideas before, but this surely takes the prize for sheer stupidity.
Roads here are crazy enough with speed limit of 90, but 120 absolutely stupid.

Well, the good news is he still can feel being touched and with the right rehabilitation he might be able to get back to normal. The bad news is I don’t think that type of rehabilitation is available to him in Thailand.
Friends of mine built a house in Thailand and one of the main builders befriended them. Once the house was finished he moved to another construction site on which some scaffolding collapsed under which he was standing and he got hit in the back by a plank which also knocked him out. So they put him in a taxi to get him to a hospital which took 1.5 hours because of traffic and because of the way he was either laying or sitting in the taxi the injury to his back got worse and he was paraplegic after that. After a while he could move his arms and legs slightly, but he never got any type of rehabilitation and he died a few years later of a stroke. To this day I’m convinced his condition could have improved considerably if he had gotten proper rehab.
Either way, I hope this guy makes a full recovery!
Very confusing post, you claim your friend was made paraplegic, then could move his arms and legs slightly.
First paraplegia does not affect the arms, secondly, no way was he paraplegic if he could move his legs, go on now tell me i am wrong.

Come on plod wake up, every policeman should be made to lock up their guns in a secure cabinet at the police station before going off shift.
This is not the first time an of duty drunken plod has shot innocent people, but it should be the last..... Lock up the guns on finishing a shift now.
Poor man young family, clearly he was the main earner, possibly not able to work again, sad, so very sad.

Just now, webfact said:That the military should engage in no more coups and stay out of politics.
Wow, breath of fresh air, no more coups, he is the first new chief to say/ think that in almost 100 years.
If what has been said in another thread.... Planning the coup since 2010, appears Prayut was planning a coup from the day he got the job of army chief.

2 hours ago, VincentRJ said:It's very different. Those protesters of Yingluck's government were fueling continual political unrest which could have escalated into complete chaos if the military had not intervened to take control.
The military didn't intervene because they disagreed with Yingluck's policies and/or because they became aware of signs of corruption in the government. They intervened in order to create stability.
It is those protesters who were the cause of the military coup.
Appears you are avin a laff at others expense, you surely cannot be serious.????????

Well done General Pornsak, exactly what he needs.
The mans a clown, getting drunk, carrying a gun trying to get in a nightclub, any man doing that is bad enough, but a policeman, shocking.

They asked for my Thai marriage cert, i phoned asked does it have to be translated, no was the answer, we have people here to do that.
Opted for 13 week payments direct into my Thai bank, never had a problem with that.
