If you think thats bad, you should have had the pleasure of meeting the stuck up idiot who interviewd my wife when she applied for a visa to go to the UK. As far as he was concerned, she was wanting to go and work and that was that. Three times denied with no right to appeal. Fourth time luckly than...

Takiab. I'm sorry if I've offended you. Seems to me, the only people over here that want to make things difficult for "genuinely" married people are the Thai authorities. I should know as I'm married to one. :shock: No offense taken. I did have a copy but they wanted the original as well ...

In response to the last post about getting your landlord to the police station:- a year or two ago I went through the same thing HH, just prior to the immigration opening up down here. I had to get my landlord in to the police station to sign a statement. He also had to submit a copy of his ID, etc,...

Have you checked on the internet? There is a Thailand German Sheppard club and as far as I know, there are some top class breeders around. Just take care because rumour has it that there are also horrid puppy farms. I've been very lucky myself with the dogs I've bought in Thailand. My Dalmations was...

Okay let me clear this up. I did take a copy but they wanted the origianal. I am not wealthy and have never implied that I am. In fact it is the exact opposite but I do have a family which I love dearly. I certainly don't have 800K nor do I have 400K. Okay so I am not rich or wealthy as others on he...

Agree with sarge on this one. I moved yo and worked in the UK for ten years and it was the most eye opening eperienceof my life. Even lost a few good friends there who got caught up in it all so I really am talking from first hand experience. The bar girls in Thailand are still innocent when compare...

Okay, just my bit. In South Africa dogs have to have a licence disc which costs just about nothing. The inspectors drove around and any dog without a collar and disc are caught and impounded. If they are not claimed within three weeks they are put up for adoption. Affter two weeks they are then put ...

It will be a very sad day indeed if they ban the good old tuk-tuk as it is so much part of Thailand. I can still remember the early years when I first came to LOS with some mates. There were quite a few of us so we needed two tuk-tuks to take us around. We offered a reward of 200 baht to the winner ...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that he spends half his time her and the other half back home. When he goes back to Italy, the wife and kids go with so at that point you'll only get Thai food.
Not been yet but will be soon.

Sorry pookie but I really do think your reply is a bit narrow minded to say the least. Every person is unique in their own way and from my own experience, I would say the BG's are as well. As others have said, just take a look at those people you meet at clubs in the UK. etc and you'll see what I me...

My advice and take it as you may, don't let things like this get to you to much. I feel the same way every time I'm charged extra because I'm not Thai. I often wonder to myself if many local realise how many customers/monet they loose in the long run simply because they want an extra baht or two. I ...
