Not that exciting but something to watch

Nippon paint is good. They have oil based undercoats

All diesel in Thailand is apparently bio-diesel since last year

Noah's Ark would have to be floating pass your window to watch this one on a rainy day.

I held in there to give you a rating, below 5/10.

If he pays and does not get his passport then it is not "negotiations for release", its bail. Any under the table negotiations would include the passport. So, in all likelihood, given that he is already sitting in jail and most likely been processed, its probably too late for such negotiations

This sounds right. I would add that

If you pay bail then you get a receipt. The receipt in the persons name who payed the bail is then used to collect the money after the court appearance and verdict. It can take a few days to to get it back and comes back as a cash cheque (in my experience) though it's only payable to the cops as cash. Don't know what happens when you're on the receipt and get deported.

For the caltex stations the 5-star ones will be getting branded fuels otherwise they lose their rating (other things determine rating as well)

Though branded service stations are suppose to buy only from their brand supplier there is a lot of buying from no-names on the cheap.

What area do you live in? And how much Thai do you speak?

After hitting the jackpot with the massively successful Bridget Jones's Diary, writer/director Sharon Maguire hits rock bottom with Incendiary, a ghastly film that is a depressing cinematic experience. Not just because it deals with urban terrorism in contemporary London, but because it deals with it in such a misguided and patronising manner.

An x-ray while pregnant seems to be fine as long as they know your pregnant and use proper shielding and have it during the lower risk period of pregnancy. You should check with your doctor as there are times when an x-ray is not recommended i think before 12 or 15 weeks. At the safest time there is a tiny risk with mental defects, something like .04%

These guys do livestock imports in Thailand

Same thing happened to a Japanese female friend in Bangkok a couple years ago. The scammers seemed to be Filipinos. Invited for food with several girls and guys in the house, played cards and ended up loosing about US$500+, she maxed out her atm card as she was too scared to leave. They took her to the atm after she ran up a debt.

Ritek is good

Woops I was going by this quote

Foreigners living in Phatum Thani Province, Nonthaburi Province, Chainat Province, Lopburi Province, Saraburi province, Singburi province, Ayutthaya Province and Angtong province can visit either Ayutthaya Immigration, Chonburi Immigration or Nakhon Pathom Immigration offices.

in this thread

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Strict-Immig...l=Nakhon+Pathom

Ayutthaya sounds even more ridiculous but am even more confused because the pdf says nothing about nonthaburi residents lol

I wonder if the people in Nonthaburi 500 meters away will be allowed to deal with the new office or will they still have to travel several kilometers away to the Nakhon Pathom office.

Chaeng Wattana Rd is half in Bangkok and half in Nonthaburi. There is a sign at about Klong Praphar that says welcome to Bangkok. The New immigration office is on the Bangkok end.

There's a place on Sathorn soi 12 that's got a nice range of furniture in the mid to high end if that's what you're after. It's called Absolutely Fabulous.

here's they're website

Have you been in thailand long? Maybe you dont go out anywhere or drive any place. I have never been in the bar and been tested, but Im always getting stopped by the police. Most of the time it's the usual 200 baht, but sometime you get the real greedy cop who wants 500 or 1000.

I drive between BKK and Surin, Sisaket at least 2-3 times a month. I budget 400 baht for police, as you have anywhere from 2-4 road stops. sometimes they make up an excuse other times they just say coffee money. Once you been here long enough you will know how the police work. Had a borther-in-law in jail for fighting with someone. Paid 20K he got out and everything went away, they justed waited the other guy out until he got tired of asking when there will be a court date. Talk to some Thai's they will tell you how the police are. Dont you ever see a group of the cops on the side of a street just waiting to stop everyone on motorbikes? Pal you need to open your eyes if you dont believe the cops are out for getting money and allot of times will do what they can to get you to pay.

mmm I wasn't trying to make you go nuts but some people are I suppose. And I'm not denying that police take money from people either

I've lived in Bangkok for 9 years and a little bit. I've driven for 6 of those years, about 30,000km on average per year and have driven pretty much everywhere except the road between mae sot and chang mai along the burmese border and multiple times, even to Penang in Malaysia. I've been stopped once on the highway for doing 120 between tak and lampang, cop told me I should drive max 110, no fine just polite advice. Been through hundreds ?thousands? of checkpoints with no payment necessary and scarcely an eyebrow raised. In Bangkok I've been stopped a handfull of times, payed the cops tea money twice (200 Baht) both for questionable offences. Paid at the station cops once the proper fine 500B for an undeniable offence. Never had a problem at a Bangkok checkpoint and I drive a lot at night when there are a lot more stops. Had 2 major incidents involving actually going down to the cop shop, one for fighting (victum) and another for breaking and entering (accused). Both after several hours were resolved without any party being placed in the daily book on the duty officers desk and no money was exchanged with the cops at all. There was small money exchanged between the parties in both cases 60B and 2000B, the cops saw none of it. The police simply acted as negotiators so no extra paperwork and work would have to be filled out or done. Spent 3 days once pissing around with the police, court and immigration when a friends wife (both visiting from cambodia) overstayed her visa by accident and the husband got a bit lippy and head strong to the point where they wrote her down and processed her. The cops wouldn't accept any bribes for her release. I owned a bar/restaurant for the last 3 years in ksr area and have never had to pay the cops or given them any money even when getting caught selling alcohol after Cinderella hr or on no alcohol days several times

Dont you ever see a group of the cops on the side of a street just waiting to stop everyone on motorbikes?

Thank god there's a group of them because it's actually illegal for the traffic police to stop traffic offenders without something like 8 officers and some ranking officer like a captain or something in the group and the checkpoints are planned ahead of time. The money they get from those stops would probably have a higher chance of going into the government coffers and the offenders are most likely breaking the law.

Pal you need to open your eyes if you dont believe the cops are out for getting money and allot of times will do what they can to get you to pay.

I think you should probably improve your driving skills and maybe the cops won't need to stop you so often or if you're being harassed for not doing anything wrong make a stand when you get stopped or make a complaint at the local copshop about rouge cops because they won't be sharing the tea money with the other cops like it's done with the official fine.

That is good news for the police who often refuse to ask labs to check upon each and every positive test

Any stories you can point us to with a link or first hand experience?
