This is a very good question. -
Report Nightmare in Phuket: British Family's Pricey Villa Scam Uncovered
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Would I book such an expensive villa in Thailand through Booking.com? ... No. AirBNB, yes, though. Firstly, I wouldn't pay so much for a villa booking because this is Thailand and there are too many scammers around nowadays in places such as Phuket. Secondly, because I could get better value in a hotel suite or in hotel rooms that connect to another room. Thirdly, because a villa has no food services. If you have so many children, what are you going to do? Daily shopping and cooking? What kind of holiday is that? -
Report Thaksin Blasts Medical Council Over Hospital Stay Controversy
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is public knowledge and/or belief that Thaksin cheated the system. He must have distributed a lot of pastry boxes so that he could return to Thailand without going to jail, and under the pretext that he was seriously ill with medical conditions that miraculously disappeared when it was time to leave the hospital suite. Now he seems to be upset that he is being exposed. -

Nowadays, you might be taking a drug that includes a tiny amount of the deadly fentanyl. If you develop your capacity to feel and show love, you have no need to take a drug. -
Politics Thai PM Paetongtarn Faces Dilemma Over Compensation Order

I think the Shinawatras will find a way to bring her back without paying the fine. They'll find some judges who love to receive pastry boxes full of goodies. -
Urs, you made a big mistake by fleeing the country. When or if you return to take care of your financial affairs you will have to go to jail for maybe a year. Whoever you ask to sell all your possessions will cheat you wholeheartedly. You may lose millions. Just because, like Thaksin, you're above going to jail?

Myanmar Junta’s 2025 Election Faces Threat of Mass Boycott
renaissanc replied to geovalin's topic in Myanmar News
It isn't worth voting because the Military is in charge of the vote-counting. Even if the Military parties got zero votes, the Military would still announce it won by a landslide.- 1 reply

Report Drama at Wat Pho: General Prawit’s Stairfall Sparks Concern
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Prawit should have retired 10 years ago. I suppose the free-flowing money keeps him in politics. Maybe he believes he can take all his wealth and watches with him. -
Crime Ex-Air Hostess Claims £1.5M Drug Stitch-Up in Sri Lanka
renaissanc replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
1. If the amount of drugs was maybe 100 grams I'd believe her. But 43 kgs? 2. On the off-chance she's telling the truth, it reinforces my belief in the need to check one's own luggage in a toilet before going to Customs in case drugs have been placed inside. It's quite feasible that a small amount could be put in one's luggage on the plane. After all, Chinese passengers are infamous for pilfering people's overhead luggage when the owners are asleep. -
When she is released from jail, she won't be good-looking anymore. Here is an article about Colombo's women's jail: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2011/7/25/sri-lankan-jails-hell-for-women Drug traffickers should research what jails are like in the countries where they get caught and ask themselves: "Could I stand being jailed in this (hellhole) place for (20) years?"

Applying for a retirement visa
renaissanc replied to Hellfire's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Someone has replied with the best answer already. You should get a new passport. If there are only (6) months left, for example, you'll be given (6) months only. Then you'll have to waste your time at Immigration all over again in (5) months or so. -
Crime Aussie Nabbed with 22kg of 'Ice' at Suvarnabhumi Airport
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The man is stupid for another reason: Border Control in Australia inspects luggage with drug-sniffing dogs. He would have been caught at the airport in Melbourne anyway. I hope he doesn't mind staying in a sweaty and overcrowded room for the rest of his life with society's worst and eating watery rice with bits of whatever. -
Thank you for that! I must try it. I worked in hotels for 30 years and I loved the breakfast buffet because I could have scrambled eggs with baked beans. I miss this.

I've bought some Kirkland Magnesium gummies. I questioned the seller about an Or Yor, and indeed, the seller has posted the Or Yor number on the seller's Lazada page. In my opinion, the seller wouldn't be so stupid as to create a fake number, which can be checked easily. If a Lazada product doesn't have an Or Yor number, I ignore it. I'll assume it's Made in China junk.
