So, what happened to the bike in question??? Did someone find 4 dead guys and an old Honda Wave, and thought:"hey, that is a nice bike! The dead guys don't need it anymore, so I will take it!" ???

No bike in the world is worth killing/dying for

I was quoted prices from BigMove; EXTREMELY expensive!!!

45,000 THB from Krabi to Phuket....

Another company quoted 20,000 THB and I have not started the negotiations yet

Hahaha, Som Nam Na

Turtle's Revenge (I am on the side of the turtle )

I will take 2 cards, but I will pay at the end of the 20 years; just conform Thai standards

Only VERY stupid people (or tourists ) will get a card; normal people do not have 2M THB for another card with no obvious advantages for the holder. BTW, it does not say anywhere in this post what you are supposed to get for 2M THB plus 20 years of 20000 THB (total cost 2.4M THB)

The only one laughing is the body that issues the cards (government? TAT? 'official' mafia?)

Good Luck with your card

Last Tuesday I did my first border run from Phuket to Ranong. I used <removed>, and was NOT happy at all!!! They promised a VIP mini-van with 9 luxury seats, but it was a normal 14 seat van, completely full. They did NOT comply to their schedule, lots of confusion with driver and company. Breakfast and lunch was nothing special, just the usual road stops. According to schedule we would be back at 1730, but it was 2030.... I understand Thailand very well, but 3 hours difference is just too much... On the way back, driver went way too fast and took too many risks, 3 near misses. As usual (in Thailand), they do not realize they are responsible for 14 lives!!!

No experience with other companies yet, but I will never use KBV again....

Prices: start from 1500 THB for the simplest trip to 1900 THB (go to casino). Of course this is Phuket, and prices are twice what they are in 'normal' Thailand. From Krabi to Satun (border run) is 800 THB and Phuket to Ranong is 1500 THB. Distance (and time) about the same, but double price, but half quality.

Lets turn things around, OK?

YOU(=farang) have dinner with THAI lady, and rape her afterwards....

WHAT would happen?

1. Thai lady is BG -----> you WILL have problems with police, but that will go away with the right amount of money to police and BG

2. Thai lady is well connected -----> very doubtfull you will get away with it (even with money!)

3. Thai lady is Prime Minister -------> you die for sure

Do I need to say more????

I live in AO Nang for 5 years and obviously I was in Ao nang when this happened. I like to believe that I am pretty well informed what is going on in Ao Nang, but this is the first time I hear of this.... Of course, everything NOT good for Ao Nang (Thailand), is pretty much not talked about...

To be very clear, I support the farther 100% (I am Dutch as well!) and I hope they play this VDO before and after the Thai Hymn (everyday!) for an extended period... However, I lived in Thailand a long time and I would be very very surprised if anything would happen at all...

Money talks, and here it has always the last word!!!

Good Luck! I hope Justice will be done (but doubt it very much!)

Best Solution:

- 1 queue dedicated to TV members and their families (stops the endless complaining in the forum)

Wouldn't that be the Thailand Elite queue already?

I wish.... that would mean I am Thailand Elite . Quite a promotion!

And I think (hope for sure!) that most TV members have not fallen for that trick

Can we not just stop talking/writing about this guy?!?

He has not been in Thailand for 6 years, he is a convicted refugee, and only makes problems!

Let's just ignore him COMPLETELY!!! No more free publicity (good/bad). No more mentioning him in TV...

<p>I have a Thai company (old style) and I am the only who is allowed to sign

Just do like Krabi - ban jet-skis - period

I didn't know that about Krabi. It's funny, I was down there vacationing, about 3 months ago, and now that you mention it, there weren't annoying loud and smoke-belching machines around on the waves, and there weren't daily extortions and ruined vacations there. Of course, the most reasonable policy for Pattaya and Phuket would be to ban all jetskis, 100%. They should have busted the extortionists, but that's beyond the authority's abilities.

Shame on Pattaya officials for waiting years to pretend to do the right thing. In the meantime, hundreds of tourists have had their vacations ruined. If you want something done as slow as humanly possible, get Thai bureaucracy involved.

Ao Nang, Krabi (Phi Phi as well) are part of the Phi Phi Marine National Park, and therefore jet-ski's are not allowed. Still we have other (Thai) problems, as anywhere else

Surely he meant get caught taking fake goods out why the hell would anyone want to bring fake goods in ? only in Thailand

I live in Thailand and I have only fake goods, so when I go out and come back in, it will be the same fake goods.

What if you bought these goods in Thailand (pretty good chance!), fly to Farang-land, and return in the same (washed!) clothes and with the same belongings (PC, phone and what not). I guess you will have to keep receipts for everything

Impossible to verify and enforce! It will never work, as nobody will pass Customs anymore

Rest in Peace, brother!

Without more information, this can be anything : from "mistaken identity" to plain murder for whatever reason... Unfortunately it points to murder. Any explanation is just speculation!

MP urges Thai women: Marry a farang for an easier life

Marry? Why? What's wrong with the current sick buffalo savings plan?

Think long term, the buffalo can't be sick forever.

Get more buffalo's...

Thai Reason:"Teerak Kwaai, I need more buffalo. My buffalo sick because he stay alone; need kwaai gf, and make little buffalo, same like you"

so is this a fake story or is it real??

Well actually it is satire. The first word on the page.

What is interesting is the way George's mind works. Now this is the kind of article he would normally post on April 1.

I am already looking forward to April, George! I am sure you have something very good in store

To answer the first question: of course this is real! Ever seen TV reporting on something that is NOT real or true?!?

Tourists (especially in Phuket) are NOT smart

women who deliberately go to a country where prostitution is known to be illegal

As in Thailand?

Absolutely Right!!! By law there are NO prostitutes in Thailand, only many friendly women...

Money Back?!? Good idea....

Money back in Thailand?!? Good Luck! Never gonna happen

"new rules to be enforced on island"

By who!?! BIB?!?

Asked what was the "symbolic impact" of his US visit, Thaksin said: "I just want to show that I can go anywhere but Thailand."

This is so UNtrue!! He CAN go to Thailand whenever he wants, but he is too scared for the consequences! I have no respect whatsoever for this spineless monkey-face.

Too bad they can not do BRAIN enlargement, or just a simple BRAIN utilization operations...

RIP Olivier!

Speedboats and longtails are the biggest danger for divers; even when using SMBs (safety condoms). I have experienced that longtails drivers use the SMBs as targets!!!! This is the same as attempted MURDER!

BUT they are Thai and we are just Farang, so everybody knows what happens next..... NOTHING!

I never drink and drive at the same time! I always drink before I drive, just to get me some courage to go into the traffic madness
