Immortalized in films like Casino and Fight Club!

Of course!

I have not come across instances here, but did see it happening the once. I got an impression it was more common in some of the other countries I have been in. In the West, it seems more common, perhaps because society gives the women more opportunity to report and escape.

What something 'can' do surely cannot be part of any medical evaluation. Do you have any reference to back up that smoking tobacco is bad for you, while smoking cannabis is good for you? What does cannabis actually heal? I was more inclined to believe it eased negative symptoms and was purely palliative.

We had a 'come as a Thai' party... everyone crashed their cars into the power poles in front of the house!

Not sure your suggestion that such actions are a local custom doesn't do that.

Perhaps why the police got the BMWs instead?

Oh heck, it is not a problem. So many things like transfers and payments are free and easy to do. No real complaints about the Bank except the service in the Branches is slow, and your time is of no consequence.

Bangkok Bank... I recently got a warning SMS that 200 baht annual charge relating to my debit card will be taken soon,

That is irritating, the bloody domestic tourists from Bangkok are bad enough with their aggressive driving, now we get out of town problem soi dogs too!

Probably better than many Ukraine Cities without power and missiles raining down!

No, because the topic is about Russian tourists......

A lot of effort to haul off these impounded bikes.... they got their money, all else is unimportant.

I pay an annual charge for my ATM card and am subjected to charges if I use it outside of my region. Not 'absolutely no cost' really.

FIFA was stinking in corruption and that despicable Sepp Blatter man had lost touch with any form of integrity and honesty. I am not a fan of bringing politics and such matters into sports but Qatar was not qualified on a mass of fronts.... I would rather it went to Saudi Arabia.

Not great for the cats neither!

Profiling actually works, it is a well studied police process..... the argument is whether it should be used in crime prevention or solving only. Anything that makes crime less likely to impact me I could support. I do not go along with your idea that all firangis in Pattaya should be rounded up as the number of tourists involved in crime is still very small... comparing it to Nakhon Nowhere is a nonsense, Pattaya is a tourist town. There is another group that hang around certain areas off Sukhumvit in Bangkok... take them off the streets I say, deter them.

Where did you do your doctorate in nonsense?

Better than nothing, sounded like fair treatment.

I was irritated by one of those huge coaches turning into 3rd off Klang only yesterday.. they are too big for most of the roads. I noticed this one was just plain white and no markings whatsoever... have all the old Pegus coaches been taken off the parking by the Railway Line Bypass Rd, been given a lick of paint and put to other duties?

Yes, keyboard warriors abound. I am not of the school of being rude or obtuse with police, they are there to make society livable.. a pity they do not work to that principle here in Thailand.

Did he say all of them are criminals...no. Perhaps the ones standing around soliciting are..... One might say , well the females doing the same should be included, fine by me. The issue has to be addressed.

I live in Thailand so it doesn't seem all that bad.

Too damned right... don't need some floozy in a short skirt bending over nearby with my dodgy ticker!
