Seems like an oxymoron,Thailand and trying to beat Heroin addiction,

surely it would be best to go to a country that is not awash with drugs.

its a bit like going on a slimming course at a chocolate factory.

regards Worgeordie

Can you name a country that is less "awash" with drugs than Thailand?

The DPRK.

North Korea actually has a very serious meth problem.

Many thanks wayned. Much appreciated.

I arrived here on November 8th 2014 with a double entry tourist visa issued in the UK. On January 6th i need to go to immigration to get a 30 day extension. I would like to know exactly what i will need to take with me, photographs, photocopies, fee etc. many thanks in advance.

Well of course Buckingham Palace are going to deny it, they would hardly be expected to admit it! This is not a new story, it has been around for a couple of years or more. A few facts are worth bearing in mind. Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted sex criminal, he has served 18 months in prison for soliciting a minor for prostitution. In 2011, after this story first surfaced with photos of Prince Andrew with his friend, the convicted sex criminal, he was forced to apologize for this friendship. Shortly afterwards he stepped down as the UK special representative for trade and investment. It is not disputed that Andrew was a frequent visitor to Epstein's Florida home. It is also not disputed that girls were supplied there to give 'massages' to him. Of course Epstein insists that they were not underage, despite some suggestions by independent witnesses to the contrary. But at the end of the day nothing will come of this, some people truly are untouchable and as the Queen's favourite son, Andrew certainly would come under this category.

@ JLCrab. " If they were going to shut you all down for being crackpots they would have already done it"

HaHaHa, ain't that the truth. The hard core of about 10 obsessives on here are providing fabulous entertainment for so many of us though with their ever increasingly bonkers theories, and their self importance. I think they really do believe that they are being taken seriously by anyone outside their own little club of detectives. And their hysterical impotent rage whenever any of the so called "gang of four" have the temerity to inject a little realism into the debate is a wonder to behold! The latest wheeze whereby they will all meet up and have a party where they can discuss the case over some cold drinks is beyond parody. Oh to be a fly on the wall when it happens!

I don't see people laughing here. Are you laughing?

Most of the folks posting here are sincerely trying to cut to the truth of the matter. Exsexyman claims we're completely off base - then he knows what's true? Tell us then, oh sage Exsexyman. Please. Is your version of truth what the RTP dish out? There are two RTP versions. One before the head cop was replaced, and the other version after he was replaced. I assume you like the version of the replacement. The one that claimed the hoe killed David (even though none of David's blood was on the hoe, and his wounds weren't hoe-inflicted).

The concerned folks posting on Thaivisa (and other social media) - the folks who don't follow the RTP frame-up scenario, ARE DOING WHAT THE POLICE SHOULD BE DOING. YES! Thai cops have not done anything since the replacement head cop took over, except put forth some crapola ideas, early on, which frame the Burmese. Since early Oct, nearly 3 months ago, Thai cops have not revealed anything which furthers the investigation. NADA. Is that what's so funny? Concerned folks herein are scrutinizing possible evidence, while Thai cops are counting their bribe money, guzzling caffeine drinks and servicing their mia noi. Ok, maybe that's funny for you. Glad you could have a laugh on N.Y's eve.

What a load of self serving nonsense you spout. You are "DOING WHAT THE POLICE SHOULD BE DOING". No you are not. You and your mates are obsessively posting your ever more wild theories hour after hour, day after day, week after week. You have no more expertise on the case than any other layman. Unlike you and your little gang of internet detectives i don't have a "version of the truth", like, i'm sure, the overwhelmingly silent majority, i will wait until evidence is presented at the trial before making a judgement. You can all keep obsessively posting your "version of the truth" until the cows come home, but that is all it will ever be, ie, your version of the truth, ie, mostly conspiratorial nonsense. Your hysterical reaction to any of the so called gang of four when they dare to disagree with your nonsense speaks volumes. Ranging from the, frankly infantile,"lets all send them to Coventry", thinly veiled homophobic attacks, trying to organize a campaign for everyone to put them on ignore, even suggesting ways of trying to get them banned. These childish tactics have all been used over the past few weeks by various members of the hardcore "Gang of ten". (Did you see what i did there?) By the way i was laughing at JLCrab's 'crackpots' comment, which was both funny and accurate, I suspect i am not the only one either! I also reserve the right to have a laugh at you and your little gang when you post your latest bonkers theories. Again, i suspect i am not the only one either!

Stop Press. David48 has just resurrected a more than one month old thread of his on the Plants Pets and Vets forum about his dog dying. Could this be his final throw of the dice!

he making his dog dying for win the election? what u meaning??

Of course i'm not suggesting that, he started that thread long before the POTY thread started, and it had clearly ran it's course more two weeks ago. I'm sure that it is just a coincidence that a few hours before polling stations close he chose to resurrect it.

Something is getting wrong with Airasia...Whenever i see a bad news related to flight , 90% of time it's Air Asia

I'm sure someone will correct me if i am wrong but as i understand it this is the first time Air Asia have had a plane go down. If this is the case i don't know where you get," Whenever i see a bad news related to flight, 90% of time it's Air Asia" from. Clearly a nonsensical claim to make.

I appreciate that none of them are important as a Restaurant Review ... but they may have relevance and importance for some people.

Just that some people just don't yell their credentials from the Roof-Top.

BTW ... I saved you lot the pain of the Farming forum one ... you really have to be a Farmer to get into them.

The above stuff is relevant because the POTY really, in my mind, the contribution that an individual made to the Forum and the people he or she helped as a result.

All, of course IMHO.

"Just that some people just don't yell their credentials from the rooftops"

Says the man in a post yelling his credentials from the rooftops!

So the "judge" just handed down a 8-9 months sentence to the B2, without the need for any evidence to prove their guilt or innocence!!

Forum rules prevent me from saying, what I really think about the Thai "juridical" system!!

I seriously fear for the safety of the B2 and the defense witnesses, a lot of "accidents" can happen in 9 months!!

"The judge just handed down a 8-9 month sentence" Really? He did nothing of the sort. He postponed the trial to a later date AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEFENCE. As for the rest of your post, with this case being so high profile and under scrutiny with media around the world watching, the idea that the accused and defence witnesses will all meet with "accidents" is quite frankly laughable. Your posts on this topic are increasingly full of hysterical nonsense.

I was praying God in the beginning of this year, to collapse the rouble, so that the russians wouldn't travel so much anymore. God is merciful.

true story. I am not trying to cut a joke.

It wasn't God. It was Putin.

Sent from my Lenovo S820_ROW using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

No it wasn't it was primarily linked to energy prices.

Putin has had some effect with the Ukrainian crisis that created embargos but that is supported by the average Russian so you can hardly blame Putin.

If it rains on Christmas Day JT would blame Putin!

I've seen him on a couple of occasions and to be honest my impression was that he appears to be a bit manic, has that wild eyed stare. What nationality is he?

Guys,

Please do me a favour. If you get the chance, please give this place a visit. My friend owns and runs it. The more opinions, good and bad he gets about it, the more he can try to tailor it to suit his mostly expat clientele.

It's a nice little, not sleazy, sports bar. He knows it still needs a little work, which he is trying to finish, but all ideas welcome to try to improve the place.

Bobby's Bar on Thappraya Road in Jomtien

Give it a try guys and feedback here.

Thanks

Well i have popped in a few times as i live just up the road on Buddah Hill. It is a good place to meet before jumping on a baht bus into town. The old Country Road won't be missed, it was grubby, and the beer was expensive. This new bar, Bobby's, however is the complete opposite, myself and a few friends from the Phratamnak area have been using it and thoroughly recommend it. It has been nicely renovated, the staff are really friendly, and the beer is very reasonably priced, 65 baht a bottle. There are probably half a dozen 'service ladies' who are very welcoming and come across a s a very happy crew. A really nice open bar area outside which is great for people watching, inside there is a pool table, sports t v etc. I really hope your friend makes a go of it, he has obviously put a lot of thought and effort into making it a nice place to go which isn't always the case with bar owners here. He deserves to make a success of the venture.

This topic is about Thai Muslims and Australia. Discussion of the situation in the UK (or anywhere else) is off topic.

Understood Scott. I just felt that the false claims in the post i was responding to needed to be addressed, in the interests of accuracy if nothing else.

Let's set a few things straight.

After Mr Rigby's murder there was a huge anti Islam back lash in the UK. Multiple Muslim buildings were attached and set on fire. This was nearly completely hidden from the media to stop it escalating. Honestly this is true I know this for a fact.

There are no anti Islam protests in London because we are now outnumbered by them.

Can you give us the religious population demographic statistics for London please?

You say that 'we are now outnumbered by them'. Do you have any reliable independent evidence to prove this assertion?

No sir I do not have anything reliable or official to back this up at all.

I am just saying what I see. You only need to get on a tube a train or a bus to see the increase in the last 15 years.

I'm not kidding its unbelievable compared to to 90s / 00s

I'm not racist at all I'm just saying that right now the tube train that I'm on is far far more than half of the people are from an Asian back ground.

Really just take a journey through London and you will see.

I don't think any reasonable person would disagree that most Western countries have a problem with Islamic extremism. It adds absolutely nothing to the argument however to post nonsense like,"I am not a racist but", and then go on to claim that you know as a fact that London's indigenous population is outnumbered by Muslims. Sadly that means you just come across as exactly what you claim not to be, ie, a racist. These are the facts.

40% of England's Muslims live in London. The Muslim population in London is 12.5 % So not even close to being outnumbered.

Qarl Only fools believe such so called "best health care system" in Cuba, the same as in North Korea, which also claims to have the best health care system and the best educational system in the World. Do you believe that? And yeas, Cubans are nice people, American people and the US government don't hate Cuba and Cubans. Don't confuse Cubans with Cuban Communist government, those are totally two different things.

I am not a fool, Cuba as nothing to do or compare to North Korea, this is pure and simple propaganda. Have you been there to make such a comparison?

Cuba as a better life expectancy than the US, lower child mortality rate and a better literacy rate than the US.

There is no doubt that, communist or not, (and most people who use the word communist, use it as a term of abuse against anyone who isn't somewhere to the right of Attilla The Hun), the Cuban health system is one of the best in the world. As is their humanity which in many cases puts the so called 'First World' to shame. Even John Kerry probably wouldn't argue with that!

the 21 year old girl who drove the car that according to witnesses run a red light, claims she passed the light when it was still flashing orange.

Anyone ever seen an orange light at this junction ? There's green and red , orange she must have seen flashing in her dreams. Maybe she was watching the orange background screen of her notebook-smartphone ? If she repeats her 'orange' sightings in front of court, I would give her jail time for sure

She wasn't driving the car, she was the passenger. So you won't have to worry about giving her jail time. You can move on to your next case now, Judge Genius!

Thailands finest missed a machetesize knife, when they searched him??

Maybe they didn't want to insult the "monk" ?

I have read the article carefully and fail to see where it says the knife was 'machete size'. Could you point this out ? Otherwise we will have to assume that you saw the chance of a bit of Thai bashing and just made it up!

Interestingly there is a report on the BBC today that says Monis was wanted in Iran for fraud and various other crimes, 14 years ago they requested his extradition but Australia refused. I know hindsight is an exact science but that is starting to look like a bad call.

Yes, leave it to our wonderful liberal Democrats to scatter information that should be in-house (even if true) all over the world and put Americans in danger.

Those cobras would kill their own mothers to score a political point.

The report was produced by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. If you care to educate yourself on the committee and its members, you can read up on it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Select_Committee_on_Intelligence#Members.2C_113th_Congress

You are aware that war crimes were committed here, right? The reason I'm asking is that it sounds like you would prefer that this was all covered up and forgotten about.

The people who have put Americans in danger all over the world are members of the G W Bush administration, especially Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheyney and Condoleeza Rice, who are ultimately responsible for these war crimes, and various shadowy CIA type figures who did the dirty work, it would appear they did it with some relish too. 'Rectal feeding and re hydration', by the CIA's own accounts this was done for no medical reason but as a means of 'control'. Operatives boasted that they used the largest tubes available. Lets call this for what it is, ie, anal rape. People having limbs broken and then being made to stand on said broken limbs in stress positions for hours on end. But hey, that's OK, wasn't it Donald Rumsfeld who said something along the lines of, "Nothing cruel about having to stand all day, i spend most of my days on my feet" Ho ho, what a wag! I wonder what his position is on 'rectal feeding', has anyone had him round for dinner? The CIA's own accounting admits that more than 20% of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay were completely innocent of any crime, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or handed over for money, or to settle personal scores. Kidnapped, hooded, shackled, flown illegally to American black sites all over the world. If this had been done to Westerners the usual suspects on here would be screaming from the rooftops, calling this(quite rightly), for what it is. TERRORISM. The powers that be responsible for these acts of terrorism must be held accountable, surely if we aspire to be morally superior to those we are waging war against that is not too much to ask. Sadly i think we all know this will never happen. By any definition what was done to these detainees, both the guilty and completely innocent, are serious war crimes. The fact that large swathes of American society, and especially the more right wing nutjobs on internet forums feel able to discuss this as if they were not war crimes, perfectly illustrates the depths of moral depravity to which they have sunk.
