Good job he wasn't called Richard...... Heat

It is good for the duration of the retirement extension. The two items are linked. Hence the idea of obtaining one as soon as you have renewed your extension works best. Your questions are answered further up the thread.

I think you need to become a member first.

I agree, like the buses they just load them up and sail when they are full, full according to a number limit. And I wonder if all these new life-vests were stowed away or sitting in boxes in someone's office? Governments normally take years to procure light bulbs! I wonder how they will handle the last ferry back if there are too many customers..... I just don't see it lasting, greed normally wins out! Anyhow.. the real problem appears to be intoxicated and drugged up boat 'captains'....

Selling Time-shares???

Not sure about that. In Thailand there is a tendency to turn left without even looking or giving way.... People doing so against the red at the Klang junctions often impedes traffic turning right on green off Klang (from the opposite direction), adding to the tailback and general jamming up at junctions. How about pet hates... for me it is getting stuck behind someone turning right into Foodland off Klang. PUT YER FUCKIN@ INDICATOR ON BEFORE YOU STOP IN-FRONT OF ME TOSSER!!

I see a policeman watering that tree often! These guys have got all the Pattaya Expats taking pictures and counting baht buses on street corners!

Doesn't that mean no left turn..... ever! I read the Pattaya sign as it was meant, perhaps due to my time in the USA where right-on-red is common. The UK you can never turn left on red, they have filter lanes if you can, with a Give Way or it's own dedicated traffic light. Pattaya traffic lights are way behind the times. The scheduling can often seem idiotic.

That would be the enlarged cranium required to house the massive brain???

Yes, that is good in a watch.

You are always harping on about this, but aren't Boeing scrounging around for tax breaks now? Effectively getting a subsidy from the US taxpayer? Reuters Washington state lawmakers pass tax breaks, aiming to win Boeing work.

Yes, well done. But I imagine Papillonma sitting at home laughing his socks off.

It means wait for the light if you are turning left. It is also a red arrow. I think the meaning is clear to English speakers if not perfect They are dotted around off the main Pattaya Roads. Left off Klang (heading towards the beach) onto ArunoTai is a sneaky one. Doesn't matter if you aren't on a bike...the baht buses rarely leave the left lane clear.

Thanks for posting that. The dreaded in-the-middle of a row of 5 ..... did that once, Frankfurt to BKK and it changed me forever! It likely will go ahead, passengers look for price. Imagine, 630 passengers..........

Me too...... Standing out from the crowd is what makes a business. Likely there is more to this that we are hearing. The 'Barbie bar' could have dropped prices or offered specials.

To my bigoted shame, when I first started reading this thread, I thought a couple of Hi-So Thai offspring had been hot-rodding down Jomtiem beach Rd. If you look up the Spanish translation of Pajero, (South American), it seems apt!

Martin Clunes

Of course, but he may not know some important facts. Do you believe he has seen the accounts and any legal papers? I wonder who recommended TTT to Greg and GM????

There are signs saying you shouldn't do it. But people sure get pissed when you make them wait behind you. The police seem to have latched onto this lately as a good earner. The place would be safer though if they caught those who accelerate through red lights.
