  1. MM, My wife and i had this discussion with them. I said that if someone stole the bike then they would have the book.He said i should just keep a copy of it. I told him i got stopped before and the police guy i spoke to said everything i had was in order so i had no fear of getting stopped again knowing all my papers were in order. When my wife told the boss cop this he said it was a new thing they were doing. I went over to the cop who issued the ticket in the first place and told him his boss had just charged me 400bt for no license when i had already showed him it and he said "oh sorry about that".I could tell he wanted to tell me something about his boss but was afraid to. Tossers!
  2. I got stopped about 6 montha ago although i was wearing my helmet.They were stopping everyone.I have Thai license,helmet,tax but although i have been stopped before with no problems this time he said "where is the green book"? I wasnt carrying a copy or original ,it was in the house so he wrote me a ticket and told me to go and pay his boss at the side of the road 200bt. There was a big queue of people there already waiting and when it got to my turn it changed from 200bt to 400bt. Itwas all written in Thai so i didnt understand.I questioned it but he just kept saying no 200bt,400bt.I paid it and went home furious.Rang my missus and she came home and me and her went back to the place where they all were. It turned out that the cop who had written the ticket had put that i didnt have a license which was bullshit as i had shown him it. Anyway my mrs walked up to this cop boss and all his cronies(about 10 others)and went absolutely fuckin mad at them.There ended up with a big crowd in the road all looking to see what all the fuss was. But it didnt matter what we said he wouldnt give me back what he owed.Didnt want to lose face. I was gonna take it further but after a few days i calmed down and then i couldnt be bothered just for the sake of 200bt. I know i should have done.
  3. Where is the second immigration queue?never seen it as always gone to first and walked through Thai section with Mrs.
  4. I checked them out when i saw the offering 1 way flights from Gatwick the week before new year at £250.Couldnt believe it.Though when you add on all the extras from the budget airline such as paying for food,luggage,check in,in flight entertainment,choosing seat etc it came to almost as much as the other cheap flights.Also it was 12.5 hrs to Kuala Lumpur with a 2.5 hr wait then 3 hrs to Bangkok.Not worth the hassle.
  5. Jetlag,it cost 30,000bt.Didnt get any other quotes so cant compare.
  6. Can anyone recommend any accident insurance.Want to be covered for riding motorbike mainly.I know bupa do it but doesnt seem to cover for much and the bill could quickly add up if you had a long stay in hospital. Many Thanks
  7. Any fisting ladies?

  20. O.k. overlooked by anything then.
  21. I paid a deposit on some land at a Thai lawyers office here about 6 years ago and when i went back to pay the balance they wouldnt accept it and didnt want to sign the land over.I think they changed their minds and decided they wanted to do something else with the plots. So i was stuck i lost my deposit and didnt have the land. Eventually after about 6 months of messing around i went into his office and threatened him and within an hour he had sent someone to my house with my deposit back. Thats the only thing that worked after trying to negotiate for 6 months.
  22. Jacko,yes she has just started the procedure but they have told her she could wait up to 3 years before anything happens. My mrs sister wants to offload her baby now and she has said if my sister cant take him she will give him to someone else.You know what Thai women are like.
