My daughter is coming down from Bangkok today for the week so I've been doing little jobs around the house. I've hosed down the outside cooker and cooking area, cleaned frying pans and saucepans etc...tightened handles on them where required, cleaned the toilet, mopped floors etc..........OK, it is not up to "room inspection" standard but it'll do !!! PBG later ..... or maybe even Treetown. Hopefully a vlogger will call her a prostitute so that she can get a couple of thousand baht like the other girl did on WS a few months ago!! I'd be a basket case, and would probably end up in the clinker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Just saw an advert for a prize on ITV and the bonus was a Fiat 500 automatic worth £31000. Seriously, I wouldn't pay £5000 for it, one of the worst drives of my life back in the day. I am shocked at the price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Court tomorrow 1,500 Baht fine then back home to start again where they left off.. A couple of years ago the neighbour’s house got raided for card playing. The missus was there and they paid 500 baht each for the police to leave and they kept playing cards. Probably 25 years ago the missus got caught playing cards in Bangkok and got fined. Every time we need a Thailand police clearance letter it always says she was charged with gambling. Neither the UK or Australia care about a gambling charge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The norm (NORM!!!!) for a fine in court is between 1,000 and 2,000 .... for Thais.... but because it rarely gets that far I'm not sure Edited February 6, 2023 by Derek Dangleberries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqualung Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The Thai police are a bit crazy. I've been sat around the usual concrete table and chairs playing pontoon with a few. ( they are mates of my father in law). A few baht was played for. But what came next made me smile. Was offered cannabis and then an inspection of their firearms!!!! Love Don Mueang. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post forqalso Posted February 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2023 I am preparing to finally move to Pattaya. I fly out on the 28th. I have a return ticket for a month later, but I have a 60 tourist visa. The first month will be in an Airbnb, to have time to find a more permanent place and get a longer visa. All my winter clothes are in a Goodwill shop now. I sold my car today, so I guess I’m committed now. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 One and a half hour walk today. It was only supposed to be a quick walk to Big C and back but I got there too early because it opens at 9am not 8am so decided to head up Pattaya Tai. I got to the ATMs at So Kopai, put my card in, then there was a power cut. Luckily it spewed out my card. I turned in to Soi Bonkot to head for Fever and noticed that they were disconnecting the transformer so I thought fuckit and went back to Big C for basic shopping. I got home, told my daughter my woes so she cooked me an egg and bacon sandwich served with a tumbler of Mont Clair. She has just finished cutting my toenails and massaging my ankles... She is now heading off to buy me some Tapper because she saw my fridge was empty of beer... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
