  1. 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.
  2. But he originally had a strip of 10. (According to the photo in the FULL story.) He had already taken (or sold) the others.
  3. Judging by some of the comments posted on AN, they are already here.
  4. As I said in my original post - 15 years. Then sadly, she died.
  5. Most people do not want to import a classic car, which is what this thread is about. Goodbye.
  6. 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?"
  7. Depends on ones definition of inexpensive. Import tax back then for a Mercedes coupe would have been a very high number. The brown envelopes were quite a few 0's less.
  8. 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. The tri focal lenses give me short, middle and long distance vision. A tad pricey but worth every baht. I am not an eye specialist but it might be an option. https://www.brightviewcenter.com/
  9. Oh dear. The real estate folk will have to change their advertising blurb. "Luxury villa with a private beach beach access."
  10. 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.
  11. Proof of the bank accounts please. Then maybe I will start to listen to your propaganda.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Interesting concept here. We organise transfers for our guests but there is the occasional time when a taxi is not available. So we take them to the airport, hospital, wherever - we do not charge them. It is usually an emergency. If I happen to be driving........
