  1. When you find it.. Make sure you report that you searched for it and could not find it. Then demand 5000b or you will report them and demand a urine sample while you are at it.

    Thank you I won't forget your very smart advice.

    This is in the TVF

    http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/783282-bangkok-shakedown-tourists-report-increased-harassment-by-police/

    Japanese expat's gives Thailand a roast on Facebook about Suvarnabhumi, but that is in the BP paper

    Police harassing tourists is also in the BP under Sukhumvit shakedown

    I am sure the TVF have run this before on the site.

  2. For those that want to deal in drugs, this may change your mind. The deaths are not clean deaths all the time. But for those that want to take the risk in a country that states, that you will be sentenced to death for importing or exporting drugs, read the link below to what happens with the firing squad.

    Indonesia will put to death six drug convicts after midnight, in a grim fate that awaits Bali Nine masterminds Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan.

  3. All drugs should be made legal and normally taxed as any other product..

    What is the difference between cocaine sigarettes whiskey and weed? in my opinion there is none ...

    Let say there is a new type of food it taste good but it destroys your lungs and will give you cancer after u eat this product for 10-15 years..Do you think this new food product would be allowed to sell in the supermarkets? of course not it would get banned right away..So why do sigarettes not get banned then ?och i see governement just tax it ..So then how about to tax and legalise all the drugs...?

    War on drugs is a complete joke.

    A country killing executing their drug smugglers is an inhuman country..

    Any guys here cheering about drug smuglers put to death you are disgusting !

    If you don't know the difference between hard drugs and whisky and cigarettes, you are already on the wrong stuff.

    Saw a show last night on a 18yo kid who was on crack and had to steal from his mum and dad to feed his habit. Others rob houses and old pensioners to support their habit. But not many take this route when they smoke cigarettes and have a drink.

    As for death to these 2 when the time comes, I have no sympathy for them, they were in fact smuggling drugs out of Bali to take and distribute to adults and kids in Australia. 2 top guys, that will quiver in fear when they pay the ultimate price for destroying other lives.

  4. With the US and Europe putting more sanctions on the Russia, I would say there will be a heap of Russian owned, or partly owned, or a good deposit paid for condos coming on to the market all over Thailand. They can no longer afford to holiday here, buy here or even pay them off any more.

    On reading the news tonight in the BP the prediction I made above has come to fruition, almost word for word. Cant say I am unhappy about it. The writing was on the wall, the bubble had to burst.

    my burning desire to read correct forecasts in Thaivisa has come to fruition cheesy.gif

    And a few more words of wisdom from the media and TVF.whistling.gif

  5. New Info from Centrelink

    Changes to Australian pension rules for people leaving Australia after 1 July 2014

    attachicon.gif001.jpg

    What you must tell us and how to contact us (FREE CALL)

    attachicon.gif001.jpg

    A list of free call numbers is very helpful to a person with a hearing disability, and as for sending a Fax, ? weren't the made obsolete with carrier pigeons.

    A free call number is exactly that a free call number and

    I feel that a person with a hearing disability, would have a friend that could act on his behalf to ask questions and get the answers he wants.

    As for the FAX, it is also a FREE number, it is used mainly for documents that must be signed and faxed.

    Not all persons have a computer and scanner, in fact a lot of pensioners or persons living overseas have no idea of how to use a computer or scanner.

    I posted the info here to help a lot of Australians that want the info and these are original documents that I posted from Centrelink.

    If all you can do is criticise

    and not have any constructive to say

    keep your nose out if it doesn't concern you.

    If it does concern you, ask a friend to assist you, as I stated earlier and highlighted.

    So while I'm on holiday in Pattaya am I [ and others ] to bring a friend with me or would you expect me to walk into a bar and find one that could act on my behalf and ask c/link the questions ???

    As for fax machines, ? yea, they are also in every bar.

    .OZEMAD for someone who has been here for so long and you being a platinum member, I would have expected better advice than that. and not accuse me of criticising, when you are doing the exact same thing. As for keeping my nose out of it, if it does not concern me ???? are you talking about.

    All I can really say is that you should have sorted your problem, if any with Centrelink before you came on holidays. (Would not need a friend)

    As for Fax machines, they are at all the Post Offices, Western Union offices, Big C on Centre Rd, most of the hotels, to mention a few.

    I would have to agree, that if you really expected to find a Fax machine in a bar, you would be joking of course.

    As for finding someone to help you if you have a hearing disability, I am sure if you asked some one to PM you on this forum they would help, or go to an Aussie Bar and ask for help.

    Get off your arse, get out of the bar you keep referring to, do something for yourself mate, stop winging.

  6. With the US and Europe putting more sanctions on the Russia, I would say there will be a heap of Russian owned, or partly owned, or a good deposit paid for condos coming on to the market all over Thailand. They can no longer afford to holiday here, buy here or even pay them off any more.

  7. To answer your question on what one.

    You as far as I'm concerned have 3 the Pajero Fortuner or the new MUX.

    All do that they say on the box.

    The Pajero like the Fortuner have their good and bad point's. The Fortuner rear seats don't fold down great if you want a large estate just take them out 4 bolts. Easy servicing hold their price reliable. Down they are now a bit dated.

    Pajero I don't like anyway due to the large gap above the wheel arch but that's a personal thing. Seem very reliable the early ones like the Fortuner had a few problems but now seem to be sorted. Rear seat fold down but the boot space is a tad smaller than the Fortuner due to those bloody wheel arches. Seem to hold there price. Down side they don't have as many safety thing's on them and their seats/build quality isn't as good as the Fortuner well I don't think so, others will disagree, hence the lower price.

    MUX as stated new seems so far a nice car but the one I test drove did seem to wander a trite on high speed bends not to dissimilar to the Pajero. I drive a Sportivo that has lower suspension so not easy to gauge between the other two, answer to that drive a bit slower seemed to have as much power if not a bit more than the other two. Down side cant say as they are new but it'll hold it's price Isuzu always do.

    Price I'm not sure but I would think about the same as the Toyota.

    Go have a test drive in all and see what suits you and your pocket best.

    They all do different models the more you pay the more you get.

    Tip don't get a petrol Fortuner they are at best rubbish.

    I have had 3 Isuzu vehicles, they have all been 4X4 D-MAX's. My next one will be an Isuzu MUX. Have never ever had a problem with the first 3, always had them serviced when it was due. Normally dealers don't take trade inn's and I would recommend you cleaning it up yourself and sticking a for sale sign on it. Or you could do as I did and tell the Isuzu dealer that you want to buy that new one and you want X amount for it. He usually gets his mate from the local tent city second hand car yard to come and have a look. It worked for me when I bought a new one, both times from the same dealer.

  8. After debriefing Police and Hostages some more has come to light.

    It has now come out that Monis told the hostages they would all be dead in the morning and he later shot two hostages after some escaped again.

    https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/25792328/you-will-be-dead-in-morning-hostages-told/

    Someone is telling porkies

    From the link

    "Court documents from 2011 reveal Monis had a gun licence while working as a security officer but it had expired. But NSW Police on Wednesday said there's no record of Monis having held a firearms licence."

    There were no court documents or computer readouts or entries in NSW stating that Monis had a gun licence. All licences are issued by the state you live in and there are no records in NSW that Monis had ever had or had ever been issued a gun licence. However the Australian Federal Police (AFP) stated that Monis had a gun licence, which was later found to be a computer error on behalf of the AFP.

  9. I'm with Micmichd on this reply: ??? Beckbie - spit it out, what you trying to say? For the record - if I followed my embassy's advice, then I probably wouldn't be here (and yes - Both double meanings here are intended)

    The Australian Gov has had it's warnings out for years on where to travel and where not to travel in Thailand because of demonstrations and Terrorism down south. It's still current.

    The Thai Gov and consulate in Australia have now told it's Thai Muslims to be careful in Australia, because their could be a backlash over the Sydney episode.

    So now everyone is looking over their shoulder, what a crock, common-sense and intelligence tells you where you can safely go and it doesn't hurt to look at the Gov websites to see the updates on warnings now and again.

  10. So, Thai villagers can vote to eject someone from their village, presumably led by some chump of a headman. The only things missing are a set of stocks, a ducking stool, and a 20 foot wicker man.

    I wonder if the people of the village and the headman who voted them out, know that more than likely a lot of them are probably suffering from Hepatitis, Tuberculosis or any of the multitude of infectious diseases that are in all villages and cities of Thailand, not only their village. They being easily led and uneducated would not know what HIV or AIDS was and don't know the difference between the two, let alone what any of the other infectious diseases are that they already have. I think this is also a follow up on something else I read where a Monk was scamming in Lop Buri taking people on tours through the HIV/AIDS hospital there and asking for donations for their pills, but not buying any and letting them die. I believe the Government was looking into the scam.

  12. Going back later when the queue is shorter could result in the bike being taken away to the compound in the meantime, before you have paid your fine.

    Yes, and the cost for getting it out of the compound will probably be quite a bit more than the fine which he will still have to pay anyway. sad.png

    And after they have booked you for not having a bike licence,sad.png you immediately pay the fine,smile.png get your key backthumbsup.gif and ride off.w00t.gif Don't make much sense does it, "O" well.coffee1.gif
