Not enough. They come up through the pipes and drains.

Registering car in wife’s name. Good idea?
Tropicalevo replied to Issanraider's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Not if you both have wills. If in probate, then yes - her parents have a say. Easy to get around. Parents and siblings wrote letters to 'whom it may concern' stating that they had no interest in my late wife's estate. Judge signed everything back over to me. You do need to be married though. -
Registering car in wife’s name. Good idea?
Tropicalevo replied to Issanraider's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I registered a new car (and other things) in my wife's name as she was 10 years younger than me and statistically should live longer than me. (45 and 55 years old at the time) Then dammit - she went and died on me 10 years later. No real hassle getting everything back but it took six months and a solicitor to manage the probate case. (No will - we were in the process of writing new ones.) Like you, I trusted me wife - she trusted me to do the right thing. Her dying was not in the plan. -
Paetongtarn Won't Take Defence Minister Role, Declares Thaksin

Maybe because the reporters asked Thaksin and not the PM. Was she even at the interview? -

Suspect in Police's killing granted bail by Hua Hin court
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
I suspect that he is out on bail so that he can negotiate the compensation, which is the norm here. If he does not offer enough money, then we may possibly hear about this case again. When the family report it to the social media folk. -
Bangkok Taxi Driver Faces Backlash for Not Using Meter
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
It's a numbers game. Taxi drivers assume that most foreigners are tourists. They know that tourists very rarely report them. I had the same issues back in '93 when I lived in Asoke. No meter on - get out and catch another taxi. (Smart phones were not a thing back then.) -
Fatal Accident Between Ice Truck & School Bus in Udon Thani
Tropicalevo replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
I suspect that they are paid by the number of deliveries that they make (or the number of sacks that they sell). Same as the water truck drivers and the cement truck drivers. All driving like maniacs to make one more delivery before they finish for the day. -
And that is why so many younger folk are screwed up. They think that social interaction is with a phone.

Fatal Accident Between Ice Truck & School Bus in Udon Thani
Tropicalevo replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
That looks like the rest of the ice truck that has become detached from the chassis. It looks like it has shot forwards from the impact and flattened the cab from behind. If it was full of ice, it would have been very heavy. -
Do you have the Bangkok Airways resident card? BHS should give a discount if you do. I had my cataracts replaced 18 months ago but I went to BHP in Phuket. At the Bright View Centre. Tri focal lenses - no more glasses. Absolutely brilliant. Cost me about 230,000 THB plus flights etc. If BHS are providing the same service, maybe go there. Always ask for a discount. (I self insure and get discounts.) https://www.brightviewcenter.com/

It does beg the question 'what on earth were they up to?' ? -
PPP scandal: Prawit defends reporter assault as a joke (video)
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Unfortunately, I suspect that we will never hear the reporter's truthful view on this. She will know that any perceived criticism will invoke a swift, heavy and possibly life-changing response from the military. -

Just like the Mary Rose, he was sunk, raised from the depths and restored for all of the world to see.
