I've heard some absolute rippers since relocating to Thailand 22 years ago but this one is a real pisser.

Hi there, I'm in Pattaya and I use an agent for my one year visa. The service is great and eliminates all the hassles when visiting the Jomtien Immigration office. That said do agents in Pattaya run the same service for drivers license renewals, if so what would the cost be? Cheers.

Hi there, If parents understand English proficiently enough to asses the quality of online English tuition, then why don't they teach their kids themselves. They would have first hand knowledge of how they're progressing and it's free. Cheers.

Hi there, I've lived in Thailand for 22 years and even though I'm married to a Thai my Thai speaking is minimal. I learn't from the old proven KISS method. That being " Keep It Simple Stupid ". So write down the 20-30 most important words you use on a daily basis and work on those until you get them right. If you have a lady friend she'll correct you if you're wrong. Cheers.

Hi there, As my Toyota Fortuna is starting to show it's age I need to renew the film on the windscreen. How much would it cost to replace the old film. Thanks.

I've seen this Thai teenage male problem many times in my estate. From the day most Thai males are born they are spoiled out of control by their grannies when their parents go to work. By the time they're school age they are totally out of control and can throw all sorts of tantrums when they don't get their own way. Once they are teenagers they hang about with others their own age group so they then have total disregard for the law. Only yesterday a youngster opposite our soi was bashing his head into a concrete wall, all because he locked his keys inside where he lives. When I approached him he was showing his teeth and snarling like a wild dog. I've seen him behaving like this several times. May I add he goes to university and was awarded a Kings scolarship, so it appears that most young guys have same lawless traits.

Hi there, I did 2 years National Service in the Australian Army, I must sat that I was no Vic Morrow but they did teach me how to drink beer. Cheers.

Sorry for the repeat as I forgot to click Follow Topic. Cheers.

Hi there, I have 2 tabian baans, the first for my house in Bangkok and the other for my condo in Pattaya. My condo address is registered with the Jomtien Immigration Office. My house is in Nong Chok Bangkok. The transport office in my area is 5 minutes from my house and rarely busy. Can I do a license renewal there? It just gets to me holding a Thai license for 20 years and having to through the whole process again like a first time applicant. Cheers.

Is a valid overseas drivers licence required every time when renewing a current Thai drivers licence? Or is that only for the first time licence applicants. I forgot to renew my Australian drivers licence and now the time has expired when I could renew it online. I've had my current Thai licence for 16 years and I had an Australian driver licence for all my previous Thai renewals. Thanks.

Hi there, I've been living in Thailand for the past 22 years and I have a very strict rule where I never use my phone for any banking activity. I use my laptop with an excellent safe pay feature. By the way what was the app so others may avoid it. Cheers.

Who ever said that the senators were acceptable?

My primary domicile address when filing my one year visa is my condo in Pattaya. The agent does my 90 day reports for me.

Hi there, just as a matter of curiosity do the Pattaya Immigration officials check registered addresses at random. In my case I use an agent for my one year visa. I have 2 properties a house in Bangkok and a condo in Pattaya. I spend alot more time at my Bangkok house and I never notify Immigration about my regular address changing. I've been doing this for the past 6 years and I don't recall even a notice in my condo letter box in regards to this matter. Does using an agent make me Immigration visit free? Cheers.

Hi there, I hope this may help you out. I've been making one year visas through an agent for the past 8 years. The banks I was taken to were all Bangkok Bank. The last 3-4 years I've been taken to the Bangkok Bank in the top end of Pattaya Klang, between BigC and Sukhumvit Road. Cheers.

If that's all that she/he pulled I would've demanded a refund.

He seems to me like a poor mans Mickey Rooney

There is a draw back with an uncircumcised penis.

Are they totally rort free?

You seem to think that these problems are only related to farangs. How many Thais are bitten by stray dogs and others have a nasty fall as there very are few safe options to walk.

So who would suggest Thais vote for given the entire political scene here is dominated by money.

Thanks for your suggestion Brit Man, if I go to Lazada what's this extendable baton called. Thanks.

In most countries where a person who suffered injuries due to local councils neglect can sue. Any one going down this path in Thailand is a spend thrift with a sense of humour. So move on.

Hi all, I'm 77 years old and I enjoy good health and have a brisque 90 minutes walk every morning. The 2 things I hate is of course the soi dogs and those dreaded footpath paving bricks. The original pavers were set perfectly but then along comes the people who do repairs to water connections etc but never reset the pavers properly. Many look fine but have no compacted soil underneath them. You stand on them and on your bum go. Cheers.

My wife of 20 years is from the back blocks of Korat. She's one of 10 kids, none of them completed primary school. It really shows up when she has to make a quick decision. She can go into total meltdown even on every day subjects.
