The articles before referred to people possibly finding a way to get around the taxes because the customs department didn't charge tax properly. The stuff is often brought in as personal property. The issue is not importing second hand vehicles, it is the ridiculous taxes that people go all out to avoid and corruption in the customs dept.
Of course tax reform and stopping corruption needs some work, so better to ban them all together. That will definitely stop people trying to avoid 250% tax?

"Meanwhile, a male transvestite was fined Bt500 yesterday for dancing topless at a party in Ayutthaya"
This must raise an interesting legal point. At what point does a man not wearing a shirt constitute a crime even if he has stuck a pair of fake breasts on his chest????

I can understand his view
He is supporting the family for 12k a month, which is quite a lot. But rather than you paying a seperate amount in addition to the 12k he's paying, he wanted you to ease his financial burden. As you're in the UK (And I assume working there), it's likely a significantly smaller portion of your salary than what it is his. So he'd be thinking that you're a stingey prick, even though the main thing which you objected to was giving the money to him, not to your MIL directly.
You paid about right for Sin Sod, e.g. not much, just a token gesture (The gold should have gone to your wife not the parents tho right?). As being divorced with 2 kids, the Sin Sod has already been paid.
But even though you're right, you should try to mend the fence if you can, best to not have problems within the family as it makes problems similar to what you have now.

The only fence I would repair is the one I broke over this gits head. Family problems my arse; it's time to stand up and be counted as a British Bulldog instead of whinging about some 'Holier than thou' twat who needs a lesson or two. Put up or shut up !
Exactly, although you do not mention the "Aussie's" age he sounds like a spoilt 25 year who thinks he owns everything just because he gave them a house. You are best off out of it, stay somewhere else and enjoy yourself, you have paid more than enough already. Get a life and stop complaining.
Perhaps the Aussie on arrival in LOS as a new boy fell for all the extended family financing crap and now is smarting a bit as he has learned a lot since and really doesn't want the OP to make him look a fool, which he is.

The protests were violent. No question. The govt chose to use lethal force. I see this as the biggest problem.

I don't see a problem with helping out the inlaws if you can afford to do so. I would however give directly to them and not to the other farang. If you already agreed to give them 5,000 per month why not give them a years payment up front and tell them next year you will do the same. This way you will look great in their eyes while you are visiting and still pay the same amount for the year. The other Farang will be pissed because he and you know that they will spend all the cash in a week and he will have to continue giving the 12,000...hahaha
I would take the high road and say hi when you see the guy and get on with having a good time. Why should you care what he thinks or does. If he is nasty tell him to f#&k off and just go on having a good time.

Nasa Vegas is a sh*thole and anyone that is staying there is obviously on a tight budget or oblivious. There are literally about 30 better options within a 20 km radius.
I recently stayed at the Nasa Vegas and it was great for the money. Following their recent announcement I'll definitely be staying there again if it keeps those Africans out!
Why the fuc_k is there a limit to red rep points I can give out?! Half the assholes in this thread deserve red dots but I quickly ran out! WTF! dam_n you Thaivisa inhibiting my righteous smack down of these aryan nation bastards.
