Really, how is a 23 year old Thai cop going to come up with that kind of cash?

Perhaps Insurance ?

The only way to fix things like this is to demote the Mayor as he was responsible for supervising this person, and failed in his job.

Why do Deputy Governor of Chiang Mai, Weerapong Rithrod, and the city’s Mayor, Assanee Buranupakorn, believe that thousands of tourists are going to put their lives at risk to visit the fourth most polluted city in the world ?

I hope the maintenance program extends to the exterior cleaning of the rail units that have been in a filthy state for the past few years.

Who cares about this band or these guys? 

Their Mothers !

Please help me understand this?

In my country a "Culvert" is a small bridge over a stream of gutter.

So is the structure in the photo going to have the road built up on either side and allow vehicular traffic to pass over the railway tracks without impeding the trains? A bit like an "overbridge".

I have been here 20 years and also have no Thai male friends. I have found it difficult to find many males that speak English but quite easy to find females that do so. It is also difficult to find Thai men drinking in bars, as I suspect they lack the funds, and find it more sociable to buy a bottle or two from 7-11 and share at home of work.

Not a beauty parlor, but a beauty clinic.  Enhance your clinical beauty?

Gotta wonder who their customers were -- Russian exiles/draft dodgers getting plastic surgery to help change identities?

 

I think the QR code may only recognise Thai Banks, so the customers were probably mostly Thai people?

i have an opportunity to leave thailand in the next few weeks.

 

mrs smith doesnt want me to go.

 

personally i have had it up to here with this place,

ive had enough of the racism, xenophobia and silly little games the locals love to play on us.

 

I have a lot to lose here.

property, business, family etc.

but im not sure how much more I can take living here.

I want to live in a normal country

not in a video game.

 

decisions decisions.

If you feel as you write, then it is definitely time to GO !

"disobedience towards officials due to his lack of cooperation."

That is a very interesting charge, that I was unaware of ? No right to remain silent in Thailand ?

"Suvarnabhumi Airport experienced an electric system failure in its driverless automated people mover"

Can someone tell me more about this machine as a frequent airport visitor for about 20 years, I have never experienced it ?

WORDS, WORDS and more WORDS ! 

Nothing will change,

I thought NZ had an agreement with Thailand so no visa was required for up to 90 days.

NO. All Thai's entering NZ must apply for a Visa before arrival.

Ok so I have 3 tv's in my house, fiber optic TOT internet.

In one room  my TV room I can watch Netflix no problem on a 42'' Hisense TV. 

In my 'wife's room' she has a 32'' one, she has been watching no problems, then suddenly next day it will not connect to Netflix, please believe me when I say,

I have tried every way to sign back in, using my Phone number  for a code to be sent, when entering the code sent I get wrong code, 

I also have a Samsung 32'' in another room left to me buy my mate that died 'Jeffery'  I have watched Netflix on that too, now that one also won't connect, the tv pin is the same 00 00, up comes "Welcome back Jeffery"  that is a bit freaky, I have his Password but even that won't work.

I need to re-set factory settings but no matter what I try just round and round in circles I go.

(Both work on YouTube Ok) Logistically not easy to go to a TV shop, but is that the only answer?, one I have no Idea where it was purchased, in fact I can't remember where I brought the other one either.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Take the Samsung to one of their dedicated Service Centers and you will get professional help. Have you paid your Netflix subscription ?

I would suggest you set up "Internet Banking" so you can access and view the account regularly and if your bank insists on transactions, say every 3 months, then just top up a sim card from the account.

She could also be avoiding Thailand because her shows are all in English language and there is not a lot of that here, even though all Thai students have had six years of English language  in schools for more than 20 years.

The descriptions don't match correctly with the claim that the head gasket is blown or the oil cooler is leaking into the radiator. The headgasket cover is the cover for the valve and cams and it leaking oil would lose oil on to the engine but has no connection to the water in the radiator. If you remove the oil filler cap and\or dipstick  you would see evidence of the cross mixing of fluids. If you remove the radiator cap you would see evidence there also. It would be clearly evident in an oil change. It would also be evident in the exhaust smoke coming from the tailpipe. You need to go to a proper garage for an inspection. 

I think you may be confusing the Head Gasket with the Rocker Cover Gasket ?

Coolant mixing with oil is a big problem , and usually indicates a cylinder head gasket,

take the cap of the radiator to see if clean or covered in gunk ,

 

regards Worgeordie

 

And also while the engine is running, is the coolant water bubbling ?

A question for foreigners who have the car registered in your own name.  Do you have to get a letter from immigration every year when you re-tax the car ?. 

No

I watched a couple of his videos and seems this fellow wants money to prop up his bar and some are giving to him.

No where in the videos does he say "If you give me money now when I desperately need it, I expect to repay you in the next year or two"

It also appears from the videos that he is a very poor "Money Manager" and there are many people like that ! He does not say why is "Good little Bar" does not have the money to survive ?

We unfortunately got rinsed by our agent, who showed us a lovely condo - but deceptively failed to mention the school runs in the area are absolutely horrific. 

 

So whenever we attempt to order a grab, they will always accept it straight away, but then immediately call and message and tell us to cancel. Even if i attempt to book the premium grab, they just want to cancel. 

 

What is the glitch in the system that makes them accept the job in the first place? Then why can't they cancel it themselves? But no, they want me to cancel. Sometimes i give it ten minutes, and watch their cars sitting their stationary (they could have come to me in 5 mins), and they still don't cancel. 

 

The problem is as soon as you cancel, Grab then penalise me and add a fare onto the next attempt i make. 

 

With the taxi mafia now in full swing in Bangkok and rarely anyone using a meter, it's become ridiculous here. 

Why do you cancel ?

Does this make the site supervisor, Pimpisa Phinijmontri somewhat responsible for this accident ?

Are these people committing a crime ?
