It’s worth a try to apply for the Thai Licence.

I applied a month or so ago.

I had the type B Visa, the Letter of Residence from my Embassy, the Medical certification, British driving licence and International Permit.

The Department of Land Transport processed me rather quickly. I’m sure they didn’t pay attention to the photocopies of my visa page and wanted a copy of my British licence only (not interested in the Int’l licence).

I would suggest to the OP to get his letter of residence, get his medical certification, and go down to the Department of Land transport and make the application.

I obtained a letter of Residence from my Embassy and a quick medical at the nearest hospital.

Richard mate did you get the letter of residence from the embassy over the counter and what documents did they wanted to see?

Yes I have seen her as well she is a Aussi from down under.

I didn't realise there was an Australia that isn't "down-under"

Come to think of it,your right a valued point

Was she wearing a Thai Visa shirt or cap? Perhaps we could check that all the mods are accounted for? Just kidding of course.........

must be hard to get a bit of attention being an old 60 y.o english lady in a land of plenty, my guess is her hourly rate wouldnt be real high.

NEVERDIE good to hear from you bro,it's been a while how is your Ducati doing?

Yes your right all Avis and some of the others are rip offs Go back don't take NO for an answer tell them that you want your fuc_king deposit back ASAP,don't leave with out it.There are hoping that you will go back to your country of origin so that they can keep the deposit.

PS: 20,000 Deposit is far to much.

Good luck

Yes I have seen her as well she is a Aussi from down under.

YES December 5 dry.

Does this include bars owned by cops?

NO not at all

Open at kk bank any address will do tell them you want on line banking and NOT to send any paper statements.

Just your passport will do they don't look at visa's.

Good luck

NO

Man of words

I am sorry to hear what has happen,I am sure the cops will get a cut out of the final settlement fee from the dead girls family.

Yes you can I think the car needs to be in your Thai partners name for 15 months .You can go to Thai customs web site and have a look.She might also be entitled to duty- free import,She will also have to apply for a import permit,if this is the case it might well be worth taking the care to LOS specially a Bmer.

I know a very good import agent in Thailand that I have used if you are interested PM I will forward you his details.

Good luck

I hired them and was satisfied with the service.

Thanks for your input Serpico

I am ever so glad that the second language in Thailand is English,and NOT French or German

Hi has any one heard of CSBC Law office in BKK?has anyone had any experience dealing with this law office?

Please share your thought.

OK guys a question Do you need to have page 18 stamp on the green book when you import a bike from overseas?? and if this is the case where and who stamps the page 18.

I am really surprise that Somalia came out the worst.Dam I was planning my holiday there next year

I hear they're offering deep discounts on luxury cruises along the coast of Somalia nowadays...

Yes I heard that an all I was looking at at a good deal

Note to a Mod---surely, after 6 pages of comments, some showing genuine and warranted sympathy for the girl tourist, but with many illiterate, unpleasant and unnecessary postings of zero news or positive value--isn't it about time this thread was closed????

Incidentally, I feel genuinely sick and sorry for the [brit] tourist--but do we really need all the useless negativity.

Yes you have a point but unfortunately the truth is always painful hear.

Pattaya a haven of filth and criminals , Tourists should beware . Parts of that place have its own smell that turn stomachs over. Good on the Daily Mail to highlight something that local media often try to hide, bad publicity.

well

shit happens no matter where you live

its not just Pattaya

[u]True enough, but in this case it WAS Pattaya...happening elsewhere doesn't make it more acceptable...

Very good point The crime rate in Pattaya is very high it's the local property developers that manipulates and work very closely with the local and national media so that they can control and maintain good publicity and can carry- on building and selling apartments.

If you know what real pattaya has to offer you apart from prostitution,drugs,all sorts of con man and many more nasty things NO one in they right mind will put a penny down on property.Pattaya is good for a weekend of fun and it end there.

Thanks for the replies, folks.

She hasn't been returning my calls.

I sent flowers on Monday morning, but no response either.

My friend, don't torture yourself. Remember what you wanted with her and play it forward. She has told you she thinks it's over, and her actions, or inactions, prove it.

By continually going over every nuance and action of the past only cements you to that past. All relationships end sometime, and many end before we're ready for them to end. But, at the end of the day, we must accept that EVERYONE has a right to make the decision that is best for them. She is clearly showing you that she is finished.

Don't beat yourself up, and definitely don't go for the grog to recover; instead, do whatever you must to build up your self-esteem and get back in the fray.

I just went through a similar situation with a lovely Colombiana. We were living together in Medellin, and she stole away in the night....Gut-wrencher. It happened 6 months ago, and, after a horrible few months, I am now better than before. As many have said, in time, you will look back and see this was meant to be.

Remember, everything is perfect just as it is............even though it may not feel like it.

My wild Irish prayers are with you, mate.

Terence

Good post spot on

I'd say you should be grateful that she has been up front with you, told you how things are and not carried on leading your hopes up a dead end.

I also suspect you are projecting too much of your own needs/hopes onto her in what has been a distant relationship - That's perhaps something to think about for the future.

Meanwhile - Edinburgh. ... You lucky lad.

Get yourself down the Barrony Bar, sink a couple of jars of Cally 80 and enjoy the blessing of living in one of the finest cities on the planet.

Halfway through the second jar think to yourself..... 'All things come to pass'.

House is right you are very LUCKY pal,move on life goes on,if this is her attitude she doesn't deserve you.If she loves you so much what was she doing looking for another man on the net.

With regards to Edinburgh I am not sure on this point,all I can say is save up and get your arse to Pattaya this Christmas.

To answer the op's question seriously.......when my wife was at school she was in a class of thirty kids and only 5 were boys. She tells me that most classes would consist of one third boys and two thirds girls, in all schools, junior and high.

So although I have no idea of population figures, that would suggest that there are more girls born in Thailand.

I think you got a good point,you ask any bar girl that has a kid it's always a daughter the answer
