Party time at the police station

It will be a lot cheaper, if you read up on ALL possible scams run in Phuket.

Sure ThaiVisa's search option will give you enough to read and prepair.

As snowgard says, if the dog does not eat all finished, you give it too much.

But I like a man in uniform

Road accidents and cases like this, the Thais so many times run away to show up 2-3-4 days later, after their system have cleaned the alcohol/drugs.

Make sure you get a letter from your school that you are canceling your ED-Visa (double check all info, dates, passport, name)

I change from ED to Tourist for 6 months to overcome time needed for getting 50yo for a retirement. But that was 1.5 years ago.

Maybe now the school letter is no longer needed, but I am sure ubonjoe will know that

I like the short Thingles version better anyway

It's about my meter in Holland. I have called them and being approached highly cynical which gives me nightmares. I'm not stupid, I know exactly what I plugin and what I use.

Why would you be talking about your meter in Holland on a Thailand Forum?

Try one or a few of the many Dutch Forum and you might get more success.

Anyway if you where only 22 days of the year in Holland, why even leave the fridge on. Throw any food away or give it to neighbors/friends/family.

Maybe you have people watering your plants and while you where in Thailand they arranged a few parties in your Dutch home or rented it out without you knowing.

Pay the 900kwh bill and next time ... no plants, fridge or spare keys for anyone.

Of course we have influence, although most goes unseen in the background and change takes a long time.

A clear example would be Pattaya, 100% built and sustained by farangs. If we would not have been here Pattaya would still be a lovely original Thai fishing village.

A possibility is that someday a Thai grown up with a farang dad and with non-standard Thai values, will be in Parliament or even PM

It is of course a personal choice, but I would never buy a condo/house in Thailand.

My main reason is that I love my freedom. If I want to leave my current place I can do tomorrow and rent elsewhere. No ties to the place.

If you buy and want to leave, either a very long time to sell it or sell to cheap or rent it out.

Just be sure to get a good deal when renting longterm.

My place in Pattaya 70sqm costs me 4500baht with a 3 year contract. If I decide to go tomorrow all I loose is a small deposit of 8000baht.

In reality it comes to max. 59+28+59+29 or less, so to answer the question NO not 6 months, but close to it.

Lets hope he learns from his mistakes

Pattaya bar girl

One month

Meet parent (=village)

Talk about marry

20 million baht please

Let me think about it while I have a few drinks, .....

Man did I get of easy, even the cops understood me.

Saw the video on liveleak.com and dear daddy temps him even cocks the gun for him.

According to liveleak.com he died at the hospital

No link sorry, not sure if allowed and if you want to see for yourself just search on liveleak.com for "pattaya police"

Corruption is a way of life for the Thais and accepted by the majority as normal and useful.

Just imagine what could happen, next time a farang in any tourist city would need to go to court for any good reason and a large farang group 50-100-500-1000 would be outside the court house demonstrating for honest and swift action.

The first time nothing much, the Thai would think what the hell is this.

10 farang court cases later ...

... Open to ideas and suggestions.

I would support a farang in a demonstration at the court house/police station, IF I was convinced his cause is just. WHAT ABOUT YOU, or are you to busy drinking and ffff the girls?

WOW, I just got back on this topic from earlier yesterday when it had only 3 pages, now it is up to 15 pages.

Honestly I did not read page 4 to 14, just the ones on this page 15

Sad really farangs/TV-members ... A fool and his money, bla bla

Sad really farangs/TV-members ... He should have known better, bla bla

Sad really farangs/TV-members ... Older overweight farang with beautiful woman, bla bla

Sad really farangs/TV-members ... The lack of support from farang to farang, NO bla bla

Sad really farangs/TV-members ... I am not that "stupid" will never happen to me

You know why for decades Thais and Thai culture/system has gotten away with these fraud, scams, theft and everything else, costing money, towards farangs?

WELL DO YOU ... The farang community has accepted it

WELL DO YOU ... The farang community does NOT stand together

WELL DO YOU ... The farang community are mostly jealous of eachother

<deleted>

There are plenty of more:

Sad really farangs/TV-members ...

and

WELL DO YOU ... The farang community

but you get the picture.

I consider myself a decent guy with both feet strong standing. I have made a few small mistakes in the past 12 years I live here.

They where only small mistakes, because I never had any real money to loose, but the little I had, I did foolish things with sometimes.

Guess most here are too scared to admit they made mistakes with Thai girls/boys and it cost them money.

I am missing all the self-righteous members here, who always complain on any Visa thread about farangs not having the correct visa and teachers and so.

Maybe they are to busy elsewhere ...

Maybe there just figure out that the Malaysian police are as corrupt & useless as them

No, they wanted part of the 3 million reward money, but that is gone already

Lets call this the Phuket Triangle, after the famous Bermuda Triangle

or maybe the Phuket Hexa..whatever multiple side thingies are called.

I would stay home if I where you.

From an other thread:

The East Coast will have more rain than the rest of the country, particularly in Chachoengsao, Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat provinces. Waves in both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand will reach the maximum height of three meters during this time. Small fishing vessels should remain ashore.

Just got a brand new desktop a few months ago with 8.1

My old desktop I always used XP and for the last year W7, because XP stopped updating.

I will be getting W10-11-12 when I will buy my next desktop in about 4-5-6 years.

They can keep the free update to W10, not interested, way to soon. Wait at least 1-2 years.

Make your first cheap mistake and buy her an umbrella. All future mistakes will become more expensive.

Will someone keep the database up to date?

Don't ask so much. Once something is built (Thai style), maintenance is not needed.

Thank God I turned 50 last year and got myself a NON-O-retirement visa now, after doing many different legal ways for 11 years before I turned 50

Guess this solves the arrest quota for September.

Just some lads relaxing/partying with a bong.

Marijuana makes you relaxed and just have innocent fun together.

Well it's illegal here of course, but the USA is starting to get the picture FINALLY

Yeh, I'm Dutch and was young once upon a time
