Moving to a quiet Soi is no guarantee that some one won't move in and start the party up. Your best bet is to try to find a house that sits away from a village.

I have lived in a number of places with noise. I just accept it and accept the fact I can do nothing about it and the problem goes away. the noise is still there but it is no longer an issue to me.

Had a wife who accepted nothing fought every thing. Even complained about the noise I made when I changed the page in a book I was reading. Result she was very unhappy very hard time sleeping.

Yes, just grin and bear it. Sleep is not a right it's a privilege. Be thankful.

Anything before midnight is allowed by law as far as I know. If it keeps happening around 2 or 3 AM the police will help you..

True and anytime after 5:30 am is okay too! Thai's only require 5 hours sleep per day. Ask them if they can turn it down a bit and you are in for a violent confrontation. Best thing you can do is move. Welcome to Thailand. ????

Just too lazy to be bothered. 

Oh boy, CP chicken group now owns exclusive EPL broadcast rights for the next three years. 

No alcohol to be sold under threat of violence. It's Buddhist enlightenment day, everybody. UCMTSU folks. ????

Good, one should have at least that much available in case of accidentally hitting one's head on the pool bottom to pay for hospital.

Each branch makes up its own rules - we all know that from experience.

Ask to speak with the head office and like magic, they find a way to accomplish their jog. 

My wife also doesn't like to bargain and in fact doesn't even like to ask the price before service rendered. She's no business woman though she thinks she is.. also drives me nuts! Otherwise she's not expensive upkeep or anything like that, just doesn't like to bargain. Go figure..

SCB, BAY and BKK banks (and maybe other Thai banks)  have branches in Vientiane.  Not sure if you can get cash with your card, but I suggest they could assist you if you are a customer with them.

No, you cannot make withdraws and they can't help you. You can use the ATM in Laos but the fees are outrageous. Best to bring cash.

Yep, It's over for the so called Thai wine industry. Nanny doesn't like it.

They are not laws, each consulate sets their own requirement. 

And the requirements change on a weekly basis depending.

Have you ever heard about a Thai gold shop refusing to buy back gold sold by them?

No, I didn't think so...

Ever try selling it abroad?

Do the idiots who set the algorithms actually observe the traffic before applying the settings or how does it work exactly?

It doesn't. Even when there are no cars on the road much less under traffic. 

Not even using wiremade is a complete waste of resources. The official in charge of allocating the tax funds (after taking his cut) should be transferred to an inactive post.

Yes, very handy for city riding.

 

Done over 15k km on my pcx150, trouble free km's that is, use it almost every day, city only.

 

I was thinking about getting a Nmax as a replacement, but thought; why? The 1st gen 150 4-5 years old pcx is still going strong, so I keep it for now. 

 

 

Yes, they are reliable just not much fun to ride and it's like sitting in a chair with hand brakes. However, they are the best design for a woman in a dress by far. Still, would prefer a foot brake like the old Vespas. 

Oh boy, another fully automatic bike with no foot brake..

Both 7-Eleven (Thailand) and True are owned by CP Group.

CP cartel owns true? wow Okay, and they are demanding another 2 percent or else! These are hardball tactics but how does sending customers to the competition fit into the business model? Well, It's not as if they need the money...

Not sure what the dispute is over but 7-11 has stopped selling AIS one-two call products country wide. 

"Cutting off the nose to spite the face".....  

Incredibly I am two weeks late for my 90-day report. 

It's the first time I ever did this... 

Is there a fine/ penalty or what happens next?

Thanks

Damn, mine was up on Sunday but they were closed...

You will be fined 500 THB pay and get a stern warning. It happened to me once. Not much fun but they are reasonable if you are a couple days late.

What is and how does "Terrain Command” operate?

The SH150i is around 95,000bt. Not bad considering the premium components and farang ergonomics.

Cost of ownership will be about the same as a cheaper bike since you recover the premium on resale.

Now the new Vespa 946. That's a pricy little unit. But very sweet.

Yes they look nice. Too bad they don’t have a foot brake any more. Can’t stand duel hand brakes and no gears..
