How about investing in Thai Education to unchain this country of the corrupt elite?

What a happy smile. Seems to be not very strained that her luxurious lifestyle was financed by drug money which destroyed so many life of others. 

Wow that's a shocking thread for me. I am already 3 years in Thailand with yearly extensions because I have a child in Thailand. I recently got my multi re entry permit and planned to travel to Vietnam soon. Will I have problems to get back to Thailand even if I have a valid non-o visa with extension?!

Maybe do a fair taxation instead of protectionism. Current situation just allows corrupt people to make profits.

Two of my Thai neighbors asked me if Europe is in America...

If you feel to that your neighbors are dump then maybe move to an area with more clever people.

lese majeste, theft and violations of drugs and cosmetics law

And "just" five years. Others get 20 years for just one of these  offences.

I am at Kasikorn. Any experience with them? Do they know what I need when I say it's for my visa?

Hi,

I am going to need a bank statement to show at I have at least 400k for 3 months balance on my svaings account. Can I get this document only at the bank where I opened my account or at any other branch?

And can someone maybe give me a tip for what I have to ask if the bank employee has no idea what I want.

I have been there many times but never saw otters, hawks  or owls for sale. Plenty of other birds, snakes, dogs, fish, lizzards.

 

Guess they keep them elsewhere untill asked for. Very sad, i love to see them in the wild, not in a cage.

Saw all of it. Was all open and public. Hawks, Owls even Monkeys. Have not seen any Otters.

HAHA..... may someone invite the officers to just have a 10 minutes walk to that place which is selling these "illegal" wildlife animals? If they have to arrest this japanese men then just go to Chatuchak and arrest the hundreds of shop owners who are selling them. 

I have seen the video. 100% fault of the parents. Just ran with their trolley right through the traffic on a 4 lane road. They knew that what they are doing was absolutely crazy.

And why should it not transferred right after PR approval to the "general overall wealth of Thailand"? Why wait for your death?

Been there a few years ago. I never heard that it was illegal to feed the fishes? The boat crew threw food themselves in the water to lure fish around the snorkeling tourists.

But nice of the Thai officials to obviously blame bread fish feeding tourist for Thailand being the third on the list of world ocean polluter. 

My guess is that these are for the backup power generators. 

They were prepared in case police shutdown the electricity.

Arabs on alcohol always end bad. 

Insane how many tourists died in the last 6 weeks. Crashes, drowns, balcony jumpers, murders....

Wells, that's how a mayor election works?!

Just another of these Isaan success stories. 

And another 'borrowed' supercar.

Aren't there not already at least 3-4 others who offer this service for years? 

Same question were asked by many of the scammed people in the UK. Why is your husband not already in the UK behind bars and why do you wear Louis Vuitton Handbags paid with their money?

 I know that is against our western sensibilities to pay more but a little bit more wouldn't be unreasonable   Let's not forget Thai people rarely have the chance to travel overseas as us westerners do. 

I would agree if this only applies to tourists. But to visits nationals with your family while living here for years and then have to pay even 5x times more then others is simply a spit in the face.

Wait, he is free and back in Laos again? Do I read that right? 

Where did you read that?

Probably bought the car for 30-40% of market value in knowing that it was drug financed.

At the end all of this is just a small glimpse behind the scenes how some of the rich and powerful do their business in Thailand. 

And the pregnant foreigner probably does not know yet that he will get soon arrested for gambling :D
