Isn't that job supposed to be done by Nong Nooch? If that is the case there is some hope for the job.

The rules about no alcohol sales near schools was introduced or a crackdown was happening in about 2005 when a mate had a bar in BKK. The powers that be decided to build a school across the road from his place. So he went into negotiations with the local BIB. Plod told him "No plomblem, you open after the children go home." They carefully ignored his lunch trade.

Interesting item from Coconuts bangkok Originally from here. The map in the article below covers BKK, think about the implications to Pattaya. How close is the school to walking street? Surprise! New booze ban now in effect By Todd Ruiz July 24, 2015 / 17:11 ICT ABOVE: Areas affected in Bangkok’s central business district under the 300-meter ban specified in the order signed Monday and expected to go into effect next month. Yesterday a more vaguely worded ban was included in a surprise batch of new laws from the military government which went into immediate effect. All sale

Martin, with all due respect, it is unlikely we will be confused as to who is posting. Saa is nice and tries, Marc has the English language down pat. However given the reading abilities of some forum members it may be better if they "sign" each post.

You must be from Victoria.

So... leading by example is not this bloke's management style. One would think the voluteers would get bonus points for doing their job in spite of who they encounter, it seems not in Thailand. Who wants to take the bet he would have failed the breathe test?

In the land of Oz you would be hearing the sound of tasers chaging after she struck the first copper, the next scream would have been her recieving the taser.

You are right, Product Name : Small Product Code : (S)Price : THB฿ 6,000.00 Product Name : MediumProduct Code : (M) Price : THB฿ 9,000.00 Product Name : LargeProduct Code : (L) Price : THB฿ 12,000.00 Got to get my glasses checked, that is a decimal point not a comma. I thought I was looking at purchase price not rental price so didn't hard enough.

Not cheap at 6,9 and 12 Million Baht. I can't see the roads being clogged with these until someone does a cheap knock off.

The segments are succinct and very funny, that said I don't think Mr Oliver is planning a holiday in the foreseeable future.

Thank you plahgat for the images. Much easier to paint a mental picture with that sort of help. This is the article I was referring to, a sample of quality journalism from the Pattaya "press". http://www.pattayamail.com/localnews/pattaya-beach-footpath-washing-away-47273

Are you talking about the walkway beside Pattaya "beach"? The one that the deck chair operators were complaining about in the press last week that has holes big enough to hide 10 people? Will dig up the article when I am near my computer rather than tablet.

If you want to get an interesting reaction, point to the rabbits and say aloy. The Thais see them as pets not food.

They are a lot less forgiving in Australia. The soccer league discovered Perth Glory was breaching the salary cap this year, they were banned from the finals and fined. The Glory were second on the table at the time. A couple of years ago in the National Rugby League the Melbourne Storm was stripped of all points for the current year, 2 premiership titles and 3 minor premierships (they had the most points at the end of the regular season) over salary cap breaches. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-tipped-to-dock-melbourne-storm-points-over-salary-cap-breaches/story-e6frexn

So you have a manager now? They are supposed to help with these sorts of things. For serious advice you may want to find Thai visa forum, they have some people who actually know what they are talking about. Otherwise stay here and keep us amused.

The high quality tie down ensures the safety of the bikes. They never go over bumps a an unsafe speed, so the bikes are OK.

I have done Songkran in Ubon Ratchatani, Yassothon, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Bangkok and "the darkside" . It has always been silly complete with ice. It can be fun for all: Even the young

The dreaded journalist question ; Do you still beat your wife? DO you still beat your wife? Do YOU still beat your wife? Do you STILL beat your wife? Do you still BEAT your wife? Do you still beat YOUR wife? Do you still beat your WIFE? All these have different inferences depending on the emphasis, although the sentence is written the same as per the first version.

That caused me some concern the first time I saw it. Tried to find the landing strip with no success. It has been there for some time.

Had the reverse happen. Got to the airport and tried to get a cab to the hotel as I had not tried to get the promised transfer. The taxi people said you get free bus and rang the hotel. Transfer arrived in a little while took me to hotel and back to airport the next day. It would seem your mileage will vary. Never had a problem booking Agoda in Thailand, Philipines and Singapore. Had to cancel a booking and no problem with refund.

Big discussion on TV here; http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/812263-online-90-day-reporting-available-from-april-1st/ It is legit, although announced for a start on April 1 caused some concern.

The Company wanting an invoice for tax purposes needs a "tax invoice" if you do not know what this is you would be better placed to invest some money talking to an accountant. The revenue dept have been hard on this recently, so businesses will want to keep things clean. Just a point, you will find your work permit is relatively restrictive as to where you can work legally and with whom. They do not allow freelancing to other firms, it is typically at a specified location with a specific firm. Again time spent with a professional is time and money well spent to cover these topics.

Are you registered for tax in Thailand? They are wanting a tax invoice. It will need to have your registered address, company and trading name and a few other things.

Looks a little quiet, was that early in the day? Brought back some memories of visits. Thanks for the photos.
