so where is mr Hall these days?

maybe dropped this case because he is out of Thailand?

if so he will probably never be back.

i think i recall reading something about he got deported because of another matter?

If the authorities at some point crack down, they will likely crack down on visas, not a raid on persons sitting in a shared work space. But that will likely involve persons on visas for much longer term than the OP.

 

But if you are in a shared work space, I would keep another browser window open so you could quickly switch over and say that you are just writing a letter to your mother.

i never did understand the concept of these workspaces. just a silly waste of money really.

on the legality of it, i would not trust it here.

My understanding in Thailand is,  you only have to be present (in the company of) of wrongdoers and you can be charged the same crime as them.

and then a possibilitu of a raid at any time. Thai police probably think they are raiding a boiler room operation.

and most farangs like to stay here xx years and cant be assed learning the language..

so good luck explaining to the cops on the way to prison.

as for the OP, if you do this in your own room then who will know?

strange such a silly question thread have 4 pages already

This used to annoy me in England many years ago - all be it when it was raining........mainly OAPs out shopping on the high street. It was like trying to move through a field of spikes! 

thats one reason its lucky they do not have pensioners here

but if the umbrellas dont get you, those slippery tiles and poor quality flip flops will

You were never asked inside her home.

i would say 100% she is married. if you ever met anyone who she introduce as her 'brother' than he is most probably the husband.

when you traced her on the BTS she is probably meeting another farang BF.

the lazy husband wouldnd mind as long as he gets free money.

id say she is grooming a clueless farang for a 'village wedding' to get dowry money and whatever else she can get.

seen it before, if the issue comes up about a legit marriage, then out will come the many excuses why she cant have marriage with the real paperwork

Told u she has a good job as a supervisor! I'm not an ATM like some people on here she makes more than i do but for all those who gave good advice thx.  All women are nuts it just depends on what scale they are. id say mines probably a 7/10. 

your wasting our time with a 7/10 nutter?

just throw her 20k bant for shopping and kiss and make up then come back and post again when shes a 10.

But one could enjoy her for five years at the age of 60. Isn't that beautiful? :) One should never marry. It is like handing over your privacy.

Hats off to you Sir.

but really, if 5 years and you never been stabbed or threatened with knife, she never steal off you, and your not completely broke..then you must marry very quick before someone else get her!!

i rather pay a massage girl, if she has been that good that i dont think i can get better, and want her next time too.

for waitresses, they are expendable, all of them can carry the bottle of beer to my table, and if they cant

carry the beer to my table, i wont be paying for the beer, obviously

The way i think, 40 baht is nothing for me and this waitress is probably on 300 baht a day,

so that tip is actually a 15% bonus on the very poor pay she get.

I agree with you on the massage issue also. I hear the massage worker is lucky to get between 100 or 200 baht for every 2 hours massage, and thats lucky if they not on 300 a day like the waitress.

with massage i am happy to tip them 100baht if its good.

thats not to stingy or over the top i think.

but one time a girl at the same place cut me short 15 minutes on a 2 hour massage. when i ask about her finished already she say

'kee-kiat' and 'hab no power'

which was the excuse i give her for my ZERO baht tip.

these days a restaurant is about the only place i ever tip in Thailand.

because many are just disinterested and glued to their phone, is nice when you get a girl smile, even talk, joke and fill your beer up many times.

usually 40 baht or a 50 baht note if they really impress.

I dont leave the tip in the folder but make sure i bump into the girl on the way out and put it into her hand.

i suspect these "X-ray fugitive foreigner"  and  "black eagle" so called crackdowns

 give these IMMs a chance to weild their tiny man powers.

but if you have a look like a dark suntan or a "chocolate"...shade (is Thai saying, not mine)

you are best to get visa and have a better chance of no trouble.

trying for many VEs over 2/3 years, for sure you will get tagged sooner or later.

but really you cannot blame them for thinking these guys are vagabonds or upto no good.

what the cost of a SE visa?  is not huge.

the IMMs probably ask themself, why these guys must keep trying for free visa?

thats interesting. hope the Thai goes well. I often do wonder how Thai peoples will stack up against competition in western world of food if they cannot use MSG and all their other tricks.

i want to look also for this show online, so thanks

unfortunately tho, on this site the most you will get back is thoughts of

"Asians are accepted in the west, but here we are just ATMs"

and yet another one to be burned and crying 2 years down the track when down the tubes and not a penny

but yes, this is amazing thailand where they keep coming and coming and never learn

To be fair, I did it in the UK, but I hadn't realized the judge gives it to the woman on divorce (usually 100%) and you get removed from the house the moment she files.

And I'm doing it again in Thailand, but this time the bank owns most of the house (for the next 23 years).

 

Buying a woman a house seems to be normal in almost every country of the world, whether the guy realizes it or not. 

so true.

but is nice to have some illusion of ownership for a small time and buy in your own name.

i guess a small chance of getting 50%  back in the end is a bonus.

i like your version tho, sound a bit like 'pay as you go'

I thought it was a normal life.

im sure we agree, normal people dont normally buy a house on land they cant own and have no real control on.

(which all sooner or later will to get shafted out of.)

i think this OP, he probably feel bad and got shafted out of a house from a Thai wife ,

now he wanna laugh at guys who are silly enough to buy 2 houses.

fool me to get shafted 1 house-shame on you...

fool me to get shafted 2 house-shame on me for being a absolut xxxxxxx idiot.555

Most immigration offices will accept the funds being in a foreign currency at account at a Thai bank.

Ok thanks for the help.

Also if i may ask this..

For proof of funds a website of Thai consulate in Australia say they will accept baht in Thai bank OR the equivalent value in Aus dollar in an Australian account.

Im not sure if this stand for all visa type or just METV ?

If must show 800k in a bank account then i will rather have in Aus account earning 3%.

Leave there all year and forget about it.

But can do year after year?

Unless they crash ... then you have to wait a day (or 2)  longer when they recover from the crash.

Have the rules of investing somehow change?

For absolutely everyone to make a profit (which is impossible anyway and is fake news) someone else has to take a loss

or someone else is buying at a premium much higher than the original cost, no?

These things is nothing but a big ponzi scam.

Remember the pyramid scams? 

The big guys behind all this will have a system set up and alert them when the conditions is good for them.

They will flood the market at the right time and they will run away laughing while everyone will loose millions

Crypto=next Leeman type scam

Only trouble most countrys only will allow you to carry a certain amount in.

If they dont accept the explanation you give you risk to get it all confiscated.
