Something lost in translation... doesn't seem to say much and I would not expect that from this guy?

He doesn't make the laws and extension requirements....if you don't know what you are talking about, better not to comment. Best information is the Embassies themselves refused to supply letters when actual verification was stipulated.

It deters the dogs from barking.

Probably as much as your nit-picking!

I thought so too... had something similar a few years back and was told probably heat and sweat, sun on forearms when on my scooter....

It says near your name you are a rookie member ...? There are plenty of reasons to avoid conflict with your Thai neignbours. One might be being elderly and frail. And if you ended up in front of the police I would say usually you are on the losing side.... protecting family might be a good reason to avoid conflict.

Now that soi 15 is open perhaps park in The Avenue car park and try Thai Visa Express on soi 15, or Maneerat on Soi Post Office.

But that would catch all tourists too (as you suggest)... they have been very clear tourists will not be taxed.

Have you tried it then?

Where would one expect to find a higher concentration of crooks?

Perhaps more than many of the Romanians?

He outranked them!

So what we are saying is the introduction of the Visa free policy was a waste of time, and would only result in those in no fear of crime to enter?

Inclined to say shhhh. They might just forget all about the idea if we don't keep banging on about it.

Yeah, there's a statement lacking credibility!

And learn to duck?

Aye not wrong.... I am North of the town and all the agents requite a trip into town or to the South side of it..... might as well go to Jomtien soi 5. One place I like has no parking for a car anywhere near.

If a little well done, when medium rare would be better.

Surely it interferes with any relationships he has, both casual and more serious. Hopefully he has not regressed to old casual habits, that would be selfish and reckless.

Resident trolls.... they won't get back to you.

Dodgy Pattya pavements seem to have curtailed my longer walk days!

A sprinkling of money makes them go away!

Not this Expat.... National parks always seem to include long treks and climbs.... came here for a leisurely retirement.

Guy up the street from me years ago had 3 or 4 fighting cocks he kept in front of his house.... can't say I ever found the noise pleasing.

You are not doing it right!
