    I am perplexed that anyone would leave a bottle of water or any personal items unattended to go exercise/run. Theft would of course have been my first concern, but I just can't see drinking anything left unattended. Mind you, if the cap was sealed and appeared undisturbed maybe a level of confidence was thought that it was okay.  Still, if I bring something, it goes with me or I'm able to watch it all the time.

    Umm...dangerous world out there, watch your every move. I am a runner and exercise in Lumpini park everyday for last 25yrs. These last few years, it is normal practice for hundreds of joggers to leave their water bottles or protein shakers in the bushes at any favourite spot and stop by during the laps to drink some water if necessary and pick it up on the last lap.

    This might not be useful to most people , but just wanted to ask, I am eyeing for a job that provides a Non immigrant "F" visa. Is this visa even eligible for PR/Citizenship? , Currently struggling to make the minimum points in my current job. So thinking of a switch.

    More knowledgable members will soon correct me if i am wrong, but i dont see any problem with the non-immigrant F visa if you have a proper Work Permit and have been paying taxes for a certain number of years (3yrs for a PR if i remember correctly) and have a salary over the required threshold. Look up in a separate pinned thread on getting PR. After being on PR for 5yrs, you can apply for citizenship. Rules are different if married to a Thai citizen.

    Many are from the World's oldest profession and many have 'maeng da' boyfriends.

     

    And yes, the Thais can immediately tell your wife or gf was a gas cooker. 

    And why is it that mostly old caucasian farangs are attracted to them like flies to shet? Hardly ever heard of retired Chinese, Indians, Koreans, Japanese, Arabs, Africans etc travelling here for the singular purpose of marrying young women from the "World's oldest profession, many having 'maeng da' boyfriends" as you say?

    Try f$$k you. Not addressed to you personally.

    Take a tour of any Night Bazaar, there are plenty of T-shirts with offensive slogans.

    I saw a guy wearing a T-shirt saying 'Suck my c*ck' in big bold capital letters, with the picture of a hen below the words. Dont think he understood anything.

  5. I paid about 600k school fees (full year with meals, no school bus) for my child in Key Stage 2. The school promises 181 school days minimum, so this works out to about 3300 Baht per school day. Due to covid lockdown, 57 days were done on zoom (extremely low quality, i would say it was just 5% of real classroom). We were refunded a paltry 15000 Baht, working out to 260 Baht a day.

    A lot of sense in some of what he's saying .. And the continuing denial when it's been part of their society for centuries just adds to the ridicule that comes Thailand's way from other quarters on the subject .. They should also look at how some Euro countries manage prostitution regard the health check issue and put in place a regime if they are thinking about taxing them .. 

    Just curious, do European prostitutes present a printed invoice with VAT to their customers after the deed is done? And can their services be paid for by credit card? Or must pay by cash and the sex workers just declare their income at the end of the financial year and pay tax (if over the threshold)?

    This guy arrived in Thailand 14 years ago when he was in his forties. Presumably he didn't become eligible for retirement extensions until he attained fifty, in or about 2009. He's not yet reached German retirement age so can't yet be in receipt of their generous pension.

    He stopped extending his retirement permits in 2014, long before changes regarding evidence of funds or daily reporting became a big thing. It would be nonsensical to blame those changes for his failures to comply back then. 

    Why did he stop extending in 2014? A lack of funds would be most likely.

    How (or by whom) has he been supported in his years of overstay?

    Either an alcoholic or a monger or duped by his girlfriend is my guess.
