"the annoying part is it stresses me and my wife out " Really !  you must absolutely struggle when you have a major issue.

Colin. I don't feel the OP is having a whinge. He even inserts a bit of a giggle in the post, 5555. He's merely commenting on the visit & asking if it a normal procedure. I can't find any indication of a belly ache anywhere in the post. Sorry !

Has the taxi driver been also banned from driving a taxi and had his taxi license taken away from him? Or is it business as usual?

"the driver faces a combined fine of 7,000 baht and has had his license suspended for three months."  Did you read the OP ?

Looks like the officials are getting ready for a "full" body search !

I've found Samsung very good. No so with electrolux.

BS excuse to cover an obvious fraudulent transaction.

You think !

Those chairs are trashed and not worth the expense of getting a truck to take them to wherever the stitching is

Look at craigs list for cheap leather furniture

Maybe Barry has his own pick-up, so no expense involved

I'd be going to the closest auto / motor bike upholstery shop. Your chair very little different from a car seat.

"and four Vietnamese women who were working in a Thai massage shop."   Wouldn't that then make it a Vietnamese massage shop ?

So he didn't do 90 days report and overstayed for 8 years?

 

Why the need for 90 days report and TM30 then if it is ineffective in tracing overstayers?

Now, now ! Bringing logic & common sense into the issue is hitting below the belt.

If this was bingo he'd be able to shout " house " with that little lot .. 

Love the emphasis on AND he was an overstayer .. 

55555. Yeah, ya gotta love the overstay addition. If he was ever thinking of doing a 90 day report with all the other naughtiness. 

So ! did you have any luck ?

Ever thought of trying Google ?   http://www.flystarmovers.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwov3nBRDFARIsANgsdoFSUKVgDXQ-n_VQ83MAri75dJsilrc3Fxp9jWm-mKV6b8hZo7dfCmsaAgypEALw_wcB

Disagree with all the above.

Sure there are some idiots on the road, prolly more here than in the West, but generalizations like the above do nobody a favour.

As for U turns - great idea - we should have them in my home country.

Oh, and i've been driving here full time for 16 years.

And riding big bikes here full time for 16 years.

And riding the missus's Honda stepthru off and on for 19 years here.

"but generalizations like the above do nobody a favour."  I wasn't trying to do anyone a favour. I was merely stating an obvious fact. As far as your comment, some idiots, Me thinks you are being very generous.

An activity I partake in when riding or driving. Watch all intersections on the left. Main roads, Sois & small alleys. Look for cars, bikes & cycles entering. I guarantee 99% will NOT look for oncoming traffic. Just blindly merge with the traffic flow. They have absolutely no clue as to any possible, probable collision. I guess it's taken several generations to inbreed this condition into the Thai DNA.

How do people convicted of theft from passengers manage to keep their taxi licence, so as to be able to do it again? Unbelievably poor excuse that he was angry because they wanted the meter on. Everyone wants the meter on. Not doing so is just further proof of his total dishonesty, and the reason why if and when he gets out of prison, that he is never allowed to drive a public vehicle again.

"if and when he gets out of prison,"  You been drinking ?

Only a guess... but. It looks very expensive. I'd research all the threads about trying to import a car into LOS. Then, I think you might reconsider bringing the boat in.

Thanks for that. I'll have a look.

I should have mentioned where I live. Sakon Nakhon.  No Villa up this way. But thanks anyway.

Mornin all ????   Has anyone any idea where I might purchase canned salmon ? I've tried Tops, Makro, BigC & Tesco without any luck. I've also searched Lazada. Plenty of Tuna available at all the places I've tried, but no salmon. I expect it to be expensive if at all available. It's reasonably expensive in Australia. Yes, I know I can buy "fresh" at Makro & Tops.

Cheers.....     Mal.

Buy a cheap second hand car for cash..if you can't afford that then buy a Honda Wave....after 6 months trade in and go buy the "must have" brand new car on finance.

"after 6 months trade in "  I was under the impression trading in here in LOS is rare if not unknown. I might be wrong. It happened once before.

Google maps on your phone is all you need for the GPS. I find the Google travel advice is usually accurate.  https://www.google.com/search?q=drive+pattaya+to+mukdahan&oq=drive+pattaya+to+mukdahan&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.20703j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
