  1. Wouldn't it be cheaper to take a taxi home and come back the next day to pick up your car ? Last time I had to tow my big bike (flat tire at 1am) it cost me 2,500 baht for a 10km drive.
  2. I was in KSR that day and saw many underaged people (like 14 to 17) mostly from international schools drinking vodka-redbull buckets and smoking weed. I'm pretty sure Anutin saw it too since they were everywhere.
  3. I've been partying until 4-5 AM all over Thailand for the last 10 years, what would be the changes ? Don't need to pay the police if you stay open after 2am ?
  4. Looks like this article was written by Chat GPT, translated from Thai to English
  5. So while it's not illegal, who will pay for the waste of time and effort of the firemen who came to put off the fire ??
  6. I always stop to let people cross the road at zebras. A few weeks ago while I let a Thai couple cross the road, the car behind me almost hit me and then started to honk because I stopped....
  7. Sister of my wife asked 500k baht to her Thai husband at the time of their wedding. The guy also had to pay for the wedding but most of it was recovered from the guests' donations (300 people). When it was my turn to get married, the mom of my wife asked for 1M THB, my wife is more educated than her daughter (bachelor from well-known uni and MBA in UK, mostly paid by her family) After negotiation, I agreed to pay 500K THB and show a total of 1M in cash that would later be given back to me after the wedding. Her mom just wanted to be proud in front of the guests and family to show that the farang husband was able to pay that much. What I didn't know, is that after a year of being married, her mom sent me back the 500K and also gave us a few rais of rubber trees in the south that generate a monthly income of around 30-45K. Of course, it's all in the name of my wife but we used that asset to negotiate a loan with the bank to buy our house in the suburb of Bangkok. Her mom lives very modestly in her house in the south and I am super happy to take her on holidays with us, inviting her to nice restaurants, trips abroad and I even subscribed for very good health insurance in her name., which I am very happy to pay. I guess it all depends on the intention of your wife's family. In my case, her mom wanted to make sure I would be able to make her daughter safe and happy and she didn't want us to struggle in life if we had to pay back a dowry. Regarding her sister's husband, her mom bought them a house in a nice muu baan (after 3 years)
  8. I had an accident few years ago with 3 stupid teenagers on a <deleted>ty scooter going wrong way, at night, without headlight. I didn't kill them but they were sent to hospital. Mostly, head injuries (no helmets). I'm glad they were ok after few days but if I had killed them that day, it would have been an accident, it would not have been my intention and would result from their stupidity only. Btw, Police and family of the kids asked me to pay for hospital treatments and the destroyed scooter. I told them they were in the wrong, called my insurance (first class) and I didn't spend <deleted>.
  9. How does it work if you have a 10k$ wedding ring or a 20k$ Rolex ? do you need to travel with the invoice ?? What about a 5K$ computer, 2k$ pair of shoes etc ??? I don't get it.
  10. I already have a health insurance from France ( April International), and they added on my policy that it covers 100k$ for covid. Will it work or do I have to buy a health insurance in Thailand ? I live in Thailand but I plan to go back home for Christmas and new year then back to work here.
  11. That doesn't make any sense since the wife said she had been living on the pension of the Swiss guy for years. Why would she gave money to have him killed ? She would end up losing so much in the end. My guess, if money was involved is that the Thai guy had 300k from selling a house (actually police should check that claim and ask the mom which house he sold and who is the new owner), maybe he used this money for gambling, lost it all, got drunk, got mad and remember there was a farang in the neighborhood that might have some cash with him. Therefore, he would come back home to his mother and not lose face for losing all his money on gambling.
