Yeah, well so is short term renting of condos but we get a shxt load of that going on!

As I swam in the pool yesterday, there was about a dozen pigeons watching me from a nearby roof... I am sure some were Cambodian spies!

God in heaven please no! We have more than enough part time legal bores around here!

Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law.... and flying drones required paperwork tourists would not normally have prior to the recent Cambodian war edict! Do we have to tell the tourists how to use a bathroom too?

I guess the translator was helping at the police station rather than moonlighting on an alley off soi 6?

Passing out drunk on the roadside dressed up like a Kardashian, deserves to get robbed!

Some of the 49% are multiple owners involved in renting, along with those in the 51% group who also own in company name to rent. These people have large block votes and are of course in support of renting. Regular owners aren't in town to vote a lot of the time.

Of course knew about the embassies stopping their letters, UK, USA, and Oz, that was donkeys years and years ago. (Due to immigration wanting the letters to really verify the income and pension, rather than simply confirming a signature or an affidavit). But some embassies continued and their countrymen were fortunate to have this easy way forward. Combination method went on as before, I never really heard of this being completely withdrawn. Never had to use it. I don't have to keep up, I put the 800k in a FD account a long time ago!

I doubt that! I suspect the above price includes help with financial qualifications. That is something an agent or Immigration staff would have to help with and is not done for free. I used to do my own too for the 1900 cost... usually had to queue more than 15minute to get a ticket in the pre-approval line.

Hard to put a sarcastic tone in a written comment!

How to discern Thai from Cambodian, do you try and talk to them?

He perhaps thought the rest were so dumb! But they just don't like the competition in these reserved occupations.

Tch tch, you never lose your girl, only your turn! Not worth fighting over.

Never came across it when I was there (Saudi until 2004), but it was a long long time ago. I suspect there are a lot more people about these days especially male kids.

I don't have to make all those damned copies too! 😀

Yes, we heard all about it last week, and some police actions to supposedly quell the problem. Where are they getting the bikes from?

'Desperation to support their families?' Are we sure, I thought it was simply an organized mafia of women and lolling kids moved around probably by some local boss guy!

Yes, I think it is all in Pattaya!

Or just lazy! I have more money than energy these days and when an agent helps, there seems to be many things I need not have done. Forget coming back 90 days later to prove you have not spent your money, or needing some extra bank statements. As for those who simply have not got the 800k on deposit, it's a fraud of misrepresentation that I simply decided not to partake in many years ago.

Now that place has been around for a while!

I have this Keystone Cops image of them moving everyone out of the holding cell while some old Cambodian lady comes in to mop up... and there being a few missing when they put them back in.

Not Katesiree, on the large ones? Been there myself, putting a cheaper foundation on a night out! I thought the 10 drink minimum on BFs was just a Soi 6 thing.... I expect some will try it on.

Oh well, much as we all ache for the good old days they won't be coming back!

I believe you have to have registration and insurance even in regular times, never mind the current restriction due to the Cambodian conflict.
