I can't help you with the airport but maybe ask one of the shops in Patunam to put a designer label on that jacket. That will increase the chance that she will wear it tremendously.

And maybe tear some large rips in the vest. That seems pretty popular.

Really ? You don't even know what is a Nobel price and you pretend to know anything about people who are supposedly educated and good at their work ? Poor you, thank you for having confirmed what I was thinking.

 

 

Ok, I'll direct the inquiry to you. I've been coming to LOS for a few decades. Lived here for some years. Resided in Pattaya, Bangkok, Chiang Mai & now permanent home in Sakon Nakhon. Mixed with quite wealthy business people & retirees. Lived among dirt poor farmers. Never come across "Noble price" Care to impart some of your knowledge ???

Yes, but do any the have the nobel price?
 

Ok... I'll bight... what's the "nobel price" ?

Seeing how Setanta, channel 669, no longer has the NRL, I very much doubt it.

Lucky I don't have to rely on True anymore for my NRL fix.

Sukhothai historical park and kanchanaburi, bridge, town, Jeath museum and the rail track. Sukhothai parc is wonderful, take a bike and  cycle round. Kanchanaburi , a walk down the memory lane of war and the suffering those poor men went through . A visit to the cemetery in town too. Great little inexpensive hotels and super restaurants. Lovely people in both places. I liked Buriram too, tho a bit quiet, lovely temple on the hill Prasit Phanom Rong. 

Yes, Sukhothai & Kanchanaburi both a must on any visit. One bit of advice about hiring a bike at Sukhothai park. Take a few minutes to "thoroughly" check the bike before heading out on your journey. Many are in a very poor state of repair. Loose chains, low tire pressure, buckled wheels. No problem exchanging bikes but annoying when you are some distance from the hire office & have to walk the bike back to exchange for another.

Hate blue cheese.

I don't !

Agree with Crossy. The "USA" stuff is good.    will clean dirty laundry & not harsh on the more delicate things.

I'd be booking through Booking.com or Agoda or similar to be on the safe side.

I had a similar interaction to the OP with a hotel owner in Korat about the over pressured bum sprayer in our bathroom... 

Might be a remedy for piles ?  I didn't say a good remedy.....

I agree may be the pressure washer did cause this problem ,( but not sure )  but no one at the dealership when purchasing the vehicle ever said do not use a pressure washer , and nothing is shown in the owners manual that warns owners not to use a pressure washer . I think there must be a high numbers of forum members here who have their vehicles pressure washed without giving it a second thought .

 After the original sales assistant admitted that she did say  '' everything '' is under warranty during the first year, that should have been enough . The service department manager should have said , look be very careful if you use a power washer as it could damage this part , then the service manager should have said , no charge for the new clutch fork rubber boot cover , just for good customer relations , but no they continued  to push us for payment 

Sorry, I can't say I have a lot of sympathy for you. But I agree unfortunate. No sales person is responsible for alerting to everything you shouldn't do. While pressure washers are great for some cleaning jobs, they can be disastrous if not treated with some caution. For example, door seal, rubbers aren't designed to seal against a direct blast from a pressure washer. Most will seal ok, but not guaranteed. 

The clutch fork boot is a perfect example of what NOT top aim a pressure washer nozzle at. Main function of the boot is to reduce ingress of sand, dirt & mud. A little water is no real concern.

Would have been good PR for dealer not to charge for the boot. Bottom line is it's the car wash shop who is responsible for the damage.... but best of luck getting them to accept responsibility.

I accept the alternate is Isan. But I doubt Isarn, as used in the OP, is correct.

But I could be wrong, I often am,

Thanks for that.

Na, different province.

Good morning all. I need to change the address for my car registration, road tax.

Any advice on what documents & procedure to apply for address change is appreciated.

Thanks.

Something the Op might care to ponder. Op's comments.  

"Not the sharpest tool in the shed obviously.

I'll just stay away, the owner was an idiot anyway."

Considering your quotes... it's ISAAN.   Not Isarn.

Maybe I'm being a bit pedantic, but seeing you are so critical of others........

These are obviously two questions, just count the number of question marks if in doubt. As i explained already my response with the driving license was to the first question.

Because many Thais drive without license you advise OP to drive without license, should he also drive without helmet and while drunk, same as many Thais? Are you also willing to pay his hospital bill if he has an accident without a license and health insurance refuses to pay?

Ok, you win ! you have more time to waste than me.

I never said that he needs a driving license to purchase a bike. His first question was "What is the easy procedure to use two wheeler in Bangkok?" and my response to get a Thai driving license was related to this.

OP’s question..... What is the easy procedure to use two wheeler in Bangkok? Is owning possible being an expat?

Your response..... You have to get a Thai driving license.

The reality is..... No one, Thai national or farang, needs a license to purchase or ride a motorcycle in Thailand. The license IS NOT required for purchase. The license is a legal requirement, common sense & a bloody good idea. My “guess” is there’s many, many thousand unlicensed riders in Thailand whose bike operates quite well without rider having a license.

So, the easiest procedure is go & buy a bike & ride it. Maybe not smart or legal, but LOS is neither smart or overly interested in legality of anything.

You don't need a Driver's License to buy a vehicle, but you need one to drive a vehicle...

You think ! Try telling that to thousands & thousands of Thais. They seem to do ok without a license.

Why would you want to purchase a bike in a foreign country and not have a license?  Just curious. 

I have had both car & bike license for some time. I was replying to & contradicting "You have to get a Thai driving license"

Cheers.
