Hello Mai,

in case you still have the Camry, I would like to ask for a few good photos of it.

What is the mileage of the Camry ?  How many previous owners ?  Was the car ever involved in an accident ?

Where is the car now.

 

Regards from Korat

Otto

Why not give the details of the car ?

I am in Korat and if the price is below 200k, I'm interested.

No, it doesn't. Now only wise. I think they changed their name a few month ago from transferwise to wise,

Any more questions ?

Sometimes I wonder what country some of you guys live in. 

 

I have never met anyone thai or farang that did not at least smile or nod if I smiled or said a quick hi to them

 

 

Op must look very scary or like some idiot who want to start a conversation with a total stranger. 

Maybe your appearance is very pleasant. My smiles and hi's were more often replied when I was young and handsome. But now ?  old bum of 75, pah...

My advice: wise, formerly transferwise.

Cutting in is a national pastime in this country where road courtesy is pretty much non existent. Unfortunately if you do practice rode courtesy and etiquette you will simply remain stationary. In the times I have allowed so one to go in front of me their look of complete bewilderment and of course no indication of thanks and what must be a conversation between them as “he must be stupid”. I’ve always maintained you can read so much from a population just from its driving etiquette.

I would go as far as to say that driving in Thailand is probably the thing I dislike most about the country as it’s nearly always an unpleasant experience.

Can you ever get such a rewarding feeling in your home country when you have reached your destination safely ?  It's an adventure every time you hit the road. Ouuhhh, I made it again !   Great satisfaction.

He could go home to his province but chooses to beg in Pattaya and doing quite well according to the article, many worse off than him who haven’t been given 90,000 baht.

Hopefully he’s counting his blessings.

Supposed his home province is Isarn, do you really think he could find a job there rather than in Pattaya ?

Or do you suggest he should live of the meager savings of his family.

Be thankful not to be in the shoes of the thousands and thousands who lost their jobs in thailand and many other countries.

get ready, prepare the beds and the medication

Covid 19 death rate of less than 0.5 %, less than any given flu season. 90 % of the ones who died were multiple morbid and over 80.   Guess most of them died with Covid not because of Covid. And people panicing and <deleted>ting in their pants. Ruining economies will cost far more lives than Covid 19.

Afraid of what ?   To die ?   You'll die anyway.  Sooner or later, for sure.

These litter bug Thais get everywhere...just look at this in deepest Derbyshire:

 

 

Sometimes I'm thinking of moving back to Thailand. But then I remember the garbage, the noise anytime and everywhere, and the hassle of 90 day reports and extensions of visa... No, not really.

Still missing some things like the climate, mangoes, girls, generally friendly people, my motocy...

Well, can't have everything.

So what ?  Let them take the sausages. They couldn't have been sold anyway.

I advise you to advise your friend not to do abortion. It is not only dangerous to your friend (she might have trouble giving future births) but also cruel to the baby.

 

There are organisations in Thailand that will accept unwanted babies for future adoptions. I have been to one in Bangkok but I forgot its name.

 

There are many childless couples in Thailand and in the world that will adopt the baby. 

 

Best answer. Thanks for posting.

Missleading headline. Should read: 'Discarded newborn partly eaten by lizards.'

Lots of money spent, lots of hard work and for what? A series of very minor infringements. Given the crime rate across the country, you have to ask if the money and effort wouldn't be better spent policing the local population perhaps?

Or policing the police ?

Good idea, but have you ever seen them doing what they should do ?

This answer is really telling a lot about yourself.

When I was studying I drove a taxi to earn some money. The pay was lousy then, but the tips often very generous. It's more about appreciation than money. That's why I tip.

My wife's daughter worked in a restaurant where the tips were shared. When she came home, the first thing she mentioned with a big smile was how much tip she received that day. She was so happy about it. BTW, that restaurant had almost 100 % Thai customers.

Recently I was about to give a 40 Baht tip to a car mechanic who balanced and aligned tires and  wheels. There was no way he would accept it, but I could feel he was happy that I appreciated his work. There is a saying in German: "Give with warm hands."

You want some specifics?

Well almost every Thai is a loveable kind decent person, until they get behind the wheel, or on a motorbike.

Then they become wild/ crazed idiots.

How do i know? A crazed idiot here made me paraplegic, thats how i know, and that happened only 1 kilometer from my home.

Neil, you should have asked TVF members before sitting on a bike...

Sorry, I know it's not a joking matter. Sorry again.

Great idea so long as you keep off the roads!

How about accident statistics and the fact that about 75% of all killed are mc riders.

My wife is constantly washing my shorts and trousers with paper napkins still in the pockets.

Should I report that to police or immigration ?
