Tropicalevo

It was closed when I rode by 4 or 5 days ago.

Err - I live on that tourist island. That is where the houses are. Anyone can rent and do rent those houses. There are cheaper ones but I picked these two because they are near where we work. As I said, not my cup of tea and the backpackers would be put off because there is no wifi. One has a/c and one is fan only.

Why? I rent a couple of one bedroom Thai houses for 3,000 baht a month each. Price went up this year from 2,500 baht per month. Personally I would not want to live in one but staff are quite happy to stay there.

Not for 59 days surely.

Why? Hardly likely to be arson as the crew tried to extinguish the fire. Impressive that the jet ski rider was using the jet ski power water to try and help.

I give Ferrero Rocher to the assistants. All Thais seem to love them. The surgeon got my 300,000+ baht but I do give chocs to my dentist. (She's cute.)

Think about upgrading to one with an inverter. More economical. if you want to keep the old one, just call the Mitsubishi service people in your area but they will probably quote a high price for parts and hope to sell you a new one.

They do. Try reading the Thai press and online sites.

I had the same problem when I wanted to open another account at SCB. 'Must get COR from immigration'. 'But they do not do any more!' 'Must get COR from immigration'. So I closed my first account and went back to Krungsri.

Either way, it is problem solved. This thief will not be stealing anything else. Very sad for the lass though.

But the gaols are full. That is why so many criminals are let off with a Wai and a fine.

But...... https://aseannow.com/topic/1325759-thailand-enters-low-tourism-season-hopes-rest-on-chinese-visitors/ Time to make your mind up folks.

The sad emoji does not do justice to this vile act. Disgusting parent.

See above.

it has only taken three years to get to this first meeting. Shame on you Thailand.

They have been for the last three years.

In theory, if it is an official ticket, you will not be able to get your car tax until it is paid. There was an article about it in AN a while ago.

And next year, they will say......

I agree with your guess. I was on a course entitled 'Thai Law for Foreigners in Thailand' and the law lecturer said the same thing. ie the spirit of Thai law will override the letter of the law. I have also witnessed court cases where the Thai was deemed innocent because the accuser was a foreigner. The evidence was immaterial. In both cases, the evidence would have probably backed the Thai but it never reached that stage.

But do you have a link for Thailand, because that is where most of us are. Cash is definitely king on Koh Samui (where I live and have a business). The guy delivering cooking gas bottles only accepts cash, as does the guy delivering drinking water, as well as those delivering beer and wine. A/C technicians all prefer cash in hand, as do most electricians. The pool supplies company also prefer cash or a bank transfer (from my laptop). Most local restaurants that I know of state 'cash only'. Makro, HomePro, Tops, Big C and Lotus's all happily accept my cash. My cash is never refused. I suppose that the time to worry is when all of you young Turks start paying for your nightly entertainment by QR code.

Did you forget that we are in Thailand? Back to the OP - you have now seen the uselessness of a cashless society that is trying to encourage tourism. QR codes are only for those with their finances in that country. (Singapore being a possible exception.) Credit/debit cards are very rarely accepted where I live. Cash or QR only.

Not quite the same as the others who were joyriding on the beach.

The price of some of these devices amazes me. People must have too much money to spend.

Full Moon Party on KPN ast night. Pretty much everyone would be involved with drugs one way or another.

Probably looking for his next customer on his GRAB app.
