this came up a lot pre-Covid. some dudes who were living here on back-to-back visa exempt stamps were reporting that they were being asked for proof of funds. for some reason they didn't have it on them because... reasons. apparently B20k is a massive amount of money and you're a nutjob if you travel with that much cash on you ????

boys have been racing bikes in Pattaya since I first visited at Christmas 1997. get over it already.

this reminds me of that time when they sent a ministerial delegation to Pattaya to look for evidence of the oldest profession. they spent some time there and proudly announced that they could find no evidence of it. "nothing to see here people, move along". the response from the peanut gallery was how dumb are these people, how ridiculous they look, stupid Thais, blah blah blah. of course that was the conclusion they were going to come to. too much money pumps through Pattaya to have allowed any other outcome. it's not stupid, it's pragmatic. and they probably wouldn't need to do this type of stuff if dumb ferrlung didn't keep on talking about fight club. or worse, crowing about it on InstaTokker.

I don't know much about this Anitin guy but that was my take too. I don't know why all the nobodys get so worked up about this sort of stuff, maybe they're jealous of his wealth ????

I guess you never heard about the Royal Commission into the dodgy practices of the big insurers that provide life, TPD and income protection cover for superannuation funds. the insurer owned by "which bank" fared the worst. some of the stuff that came to light was absolutely shocking.

wifey sells ALL the eggs to the village? so how do you get your daily three egg omelette?

"5 years? What a complete joke, just shows Thailand for what it is, completely out of touch with reality." case closed.

ser, I think you need to take a couple of Bex and have a good lie down.

dude, he's 1) a "professional" spearfisher and 2) he's from the West. Westerners are perfect* so how come he doesn't know what's what? as for making it personal, don't flatter yourself. i try to shout down as many Thai bashers as I can. you live here now, stop whining about the place. it's nowhere near as bad as you Chaang bottle half-empty types make it out to be. *source: Westerners on here

my brain says yes to the 8% IPA. my body says no ???? ps. Sheepshank on Th. Phra Arthit is a really nice place for a craft beer. it overlooks the mighty Chao Praya. Coco Chao Praya next door is also nice for a reasonably-priced dinner*. OP should check it out before he heads to the boonies# *unless you bought high and sold low ???? #not that there's anything wrong with that ????

I don't think the OP is poor. unlike some people we know.

if Thailand ain't up to your lofty standards then why did you even step foot in the country? you're from the perfect "first world" so you should know better ????

umm...to get clicks? ????

sounds like your Leo glass is half empty ????

quit yer moanin', the record's broken. time to change the music. Thailand is a paradise compared to your basket case of a home country. you only come a cropper here if you do dumb stuff. like poach from a National Park and put it on InstaTok. what could possibly go wrong? ????

I hope he's laying on the good beers for us, I can't drink Lee-oh or Chaang ????

an accident is not a pre-existing condition ????

that result is what's known as "incomplete days". you need to add 1 to make it "complete days". I always use MS Excel for the avoidance of doubt. eg. =Day2-Day1+1

not everyone is short of a bob and not everyone likes the clientele that frequent immigration offices. ie. dour Europeans in cargo shorts and flip flops.

you're only realising that now? I had that sussed within a few days way back in the late '90s. ????

you don't really like this place much do you? time for a trip home to Utopia?

you flew in yesterday evening? ????

I don't think that's how it works around these parts Bubba.
