Well American football fans are now happy with ESPN returning, but being English I would like to see some cricket. I suspect that the Australians, NewZealanders and some other nationals would like it too.

There is enough sports channels showing a lot of sports that are no way near as popular as cricket. I would even upgrade my subscription to see this sport especially the T20 and one day games.

Any support for this.

I agree with you Pormax, cricket and also rugby union are far more popular than a lot of the sports channels featured.

Was a sad day when sat tv lost Supersport

Also just for the record, i was hoping that they would reintroduce Fox News. I know a lot of people will shout me down about this but i like to see both (Conservative and Liberal) points of view. CNN is just as one sided as FOX.

“There are four steps to the plan, which is designed to identify dangerous areas and secure them. The plan will also tackle the issue of illegal taxi drivers, jet-ski operators and others who are assaulting tourists,” he said.

Now where have I seen this before?

I'm sure they keep these comments on file and just copy and paste them when needed, "smoke and mirrors"

I bet the T shirt and cap the driver of the Cat is wearing aint no Gucci

dry day will do everyone a bit of good

but am sure the "mum & pop" stores will still be selling !!

My local "mom & pop" is business as usual (7.30am) only 2Bht more than 7/11 for a large Leo. Stocked up for the day, just in case things go south.

Now with 2 airports open and the Don obviously handling the domestic low cost airlines, what happens if one arrives at The Sewer and you are booked on Nok to Chiang Mai? Do you have to find your own way to Don? Just curious.

Isn't there also (or in the past) a requirement to visit immigration first (before going the licensing office) to get a letter of residency? Or do I have that confused with buying a vehicle?

Yes you do have to...

To everyone who replied, I thank you for your input.

I'll just bite the bullit and redo the licence. If they accept the fact that i had one originally and make it slightly easier, that will be a bonus. My fault for letting it expire

Make a copy of your old drivers License and bring the old one.

Make a health test for drivers license at any hospital and bring the paper.

Bring a copy of your passport, visum, and work permit if you have one.

With this go to the office (big area) on the Hang Dong Road, almost opposite of the Lanna International School.

When you enter the main building go upstairs, on your left. Then go to information there. They speak English (or the lady that helped me that time spoke English). They can help/advice you further.

When your license, if I understood well, is not expired longer than a year, you can renew it without doing another exam.

Good luck!

Thanks for your prompt responce, unfortunately my licence has expired for almost two years so, i suppose I'l have to do a re-test? Does one go to the same office?

I have an expired Thai drivers licence which was issued in Chon Buri. I unfortunately allowed it to expire after I sold my car which I never used. Stupid I know. My original licence from RSA was stolen along with my bike. How can I renew the Thai drivers licence and where? I have just recently(6 Months) moved to Chiang Mai. Help would be greatly appreciated.

What about one of the biggest prophecies, the Jehovas Witnesses and their Armageddon. I remember that one being rammed down my throat when I was a kid. That 144,000 going to heaven theory has passed it's sell by date several times and they keep shifting the prediction date.

These bandits always get it their own way, 'Mafia'? No just organised scum.

I thought the new Governor was going to clean this sort of shit up... obviously not.

I will not be recommending any of mtyfamily of friends visit Phuket. It is not good for your wealth or your health.

You will probably find the Governor is on the board of directors of the Tuk Tuk Mafia

How does a (presumably) OLD, WHITE, man get a 10 year old Thai girl into a guesthouse alone? And not once, but multiple times? Isn't anyone at the front desk, or a cleaning person, or another guest, or anyone else at all around who asks what their deal is? I mean, everywhere I go people ask me where I'm from, where I'm going, how long I'm staying, if I'm married, anything and everything about my business.... So how does an old white man with a little Thai girl not set of any alarms?

And where were the child's parents/caretakers? Do they normally just not know where she is for substantial periods of time?

Really strange.

I mean, if the guy nabbed the girl on her way home from school once, then maybe it's a little more likely to have gone un-noticed. But this happened multiple times. You would think someone would notice.

With the consent $$ of her mother.

poor kid.

I lived in Jomtien, Pattaya, I had an Australian living over the street from me who was actively involved in child molestation with kids some of which were younger than 10. He got his victims delivered to him by his house cleaner. He was reported to the police twice while i stayed in the area and on both occasions was arrested. Within an hour or so he was released and brought back home by THE POLICE. We in the neighborhood gave up calling the POLICE!!!!!!!!

Here here,

Get rid of the scum !!!

how do you define scum old chap?

Are people who sell alcohol to others in the same boat?

Is hilltribe farmer who knows know better way to feed his family, scum?

Are the legal fag dealers, the ones who target kids, scum?

Yours is the typical base reaction,

You simply cannot class everyone the same way. I might call people who makes simple spelling errors moron,s.

Uneducated, low class fools.

But they,ve probably suffered something in life to prevent them from getting it right.

By the way, you should of been ' hear, hear.

See, we all makes mistakes.

In answer to your quote/questions.

1.Scum would be the drug dealers who induce other persons to grow, sell, traffic or use an illegal substance.

2. Alcohol is legal and those who sell it to minors are scum.

3. The hilltribe farmer did grow food for his family and others until scum came and made an offer of a lot of cash if he grew plants which could be turned into drugs.

4. Cigarettes are legal and yes the person selling them to minors is scum, I presume you mean cigarettes when you say fag, as the term fag commonly refers to homosexual?

5. I would not class anyone, as an uneducated low class fool if they makes spelling mistakes.

6. How is spelt with a capitol when starting a sentence. Moron's is not spelt with a comma.

The death penalty is still given in Thailand for drug dealers who sell, deal or are in posession of a certain ammount of an "A" Class drug. I am all for the death penalty, as there are enough warnings all over the country and the world for that matter, that state the death penalty will be enforced.
