I was in Pattaya today and it seemed very empty to me, too. I do not believe the bullsh*t Thai government says about increasing tourist numbers.

and even more if she looks like she is half your height

Same here, garbage everywhere. Thailand is a third world country and its inhabitants could not care less about the nature. This says something about the education system, too.

So he was diagnosed in December 2014, and despite undergoing anti-retroviral treatment, Mao succumbed to his illness early this week? Seems to me he died from the deadly anti-retroviral treatment since HIV is not that quick/deadly.

I wash them with standard liquid soap and rinse under tap water. Then wipe with a tissue. Never had a problem.

From Citibank Singapore Ltd on their Digital Bank (online offshore account):

DISCLAIMERS

Not Bank Deposits • Not Bank Guaranteed • May Lose Value • Not Insured products and not subject to the
provisions of the Deposit Insurance and Policy Owners’ Protection Schemes Act 2011 of Singapore •

Does it mean the offshore account is not covered by the Deposit Insurance?

I doubt it, DGS1244, this could be true if walking bare foot, but with shoes?

well, I have transferred money to Thailand and earned from it twice: on the exchange rate (20% in one year) and on the interest rate (3,5% in one year), too

A similar syndrome appeared in Thai workers in Singpore about 20 years ago. It was never fully explained but many deaths ( unrelated to drugs though).

It was identified. It is a heart defect common in males from the Isan region. It is well know in Thailand but not discussed.

Do you have any more details about this defect?

...since the fella would have to be from Africa to accomplish this task :-)

It is a well known (Thai) restaurant scam that in case you do not check the menu, you can get charged virtually anything. Happened to me too often here in Thailand so I always make sure they show me a menu with prices to avoid this scam.

Are you drinking water from that (poison) white nalgene bottles sold for 5b at shops/40b for a 20liter refill tank? In that case you might have developed a hormonal disorder and in fact are changing into a woman, hence you are getting 'woman fat'.

http://nalgene.com/materials/ - which one is poisonous in your opinion?

The concern is the baht's appreciation against regional currencies.

So do not hope for a large fall against the dollar or pound.

If the baht falls in relation to regional currencies that means that the odds are overwhelming that it will also have fallen in relation to the dollar.

definitely, if it falls, if falls against all currencies / gold and everything else

If your resting pulse is 40 you suffer from bradycardia. See a doctor immediately and buy insurance on the way to the hospital.

forget about insurance since any preexisting conditions void it anyway, just read the fine print

Wow! It seems root-canal treatmentt is quite expensive in Thailand these days...

As for me, this is one of the things I like Thailand for. If someone really feels the need for a sports car with a huge engine and fuel consumption, he should pay a hefty premium for it. Still, I do not think Thai roads (quality or traffic wise) are made for sports cars, trucks are the way to go.

Koh Sichang has only one beach, and while it can be nice at low tide, it is often full of garbage on the shore and also floating in the water. It seems the many ships anchored around the island dump their trash directly into the water, and the same applies to the Thai inhabitants. Very dry and rocky island. Not much to do, OK for a one day trip.

Is there really a pattern recognition software in the coin machines?

500 coins x 10 Baht = 5000 Baht in Thailand but if used in the coin machines in Europe, 500 x 2 EUR = 1000 EUR which is about 37,000 Baht. Seems like a good business idea until busted

Just visit the immigration and explain what you need, I am sure they will be more than happy to help you with this kind of visa. Or even use an agent, if you prefer the more comfortable way and do not care spending some fee for this service, but I do not think this would be necessary.

Why everyone is saying the immigration is reluctant to issue this type of visa? Has anyone tried (I doubt it)? I am sure if one asks, it should be no problem. 10M is not small money and why would they refuse it? Thailand would profit from it much more than from any other type of visa and it is a guarantee that this person has much money and will spend much in here, too. I really do not see any reason why would not they issue one for someone under 50.

KuhnPaen, you should learn how to get rid of the annoying ads, ever heard of Google?

I suppose locking the door manually by the key does not activate the car alarm system.
