Model's Nightmare: Taxi Harassment Unfolds Amid Fare Dispute
We seem to have the reverse problem here on Samui. Driver accepts the app booking but does not show up. On the way to the pick up - they see another tourist. Tourist rip-off price v app price - goodbye app customer. NB Taxis have never used meters here in all of the time that they have been on the island.

As I said in my original post - 15 years. Then sadly, she died.

Car Import
Most people do not want to import a classic car, which is what this thread is about. Goodbye.

Car Import
Very true, but I was responding to the question "has anyone else heard of anyone importing a car without paying an arm and a leg?"

Car Import

Fixing my eyes whats available
I used to wear glasses for short and mid distances. Then cataracts happened. Went to Bangkok Phuket and had tri focal lenses fitted. Brilliant. No need for glasses any more.

Sidecar saga: 70 year old's 600km epic journey to the seaside
I agree. It happened to me when I left my first wife. Kids didn't speak to me until they really grew up and realised what she was really like and that I was not that Ogre.

EU citizens not confident Ukraine can win.
Proof of the bank accounts please. Then maybe I will start to listen to your propaganda.

EU citizens not confident Ukraine can win.
No it could not. No part of Russia is a prosperous, independent, neautral country. Go back to your dacha. Russia would use it's new Ukrainian province to invade the next country.

Thailand must prepare for a possible influx of Myanmar’s young people
Ah. You must have been in the posh restaurants on Samui. All Thai staff where I tend to eat. Now KPN is a different story. All Burmese staff in every restaurant and bar that I went to.

Yep. But it costs him a brown envelope on a regular basis. He was allowed to keep his GB plate though. Been here about 10 years now.

A follow on from this is that we cannot get a mini van when there is a cruise ship in and again on 13th April. They stay at home when there is water throwing and bedlam.
