Sounds like the continual witch hunt. If you believe this nonsense, fool you.

Hardly proof lol

don't believe a word they say when it comes to Trump

Is this an allegation or fact?

I wonder if I could change my name back to the original one after 10 years.

What is the price for Thais?

One thing we can do is change our name to a Thai sounding name. I guess this would help, unless a photo is required. I am thinking of doing this after I get a new UK passport, which will be useful for 10 years.

I think 'upkeep'.

The don't advertise freely, except maybe the ones who are in with senior police. They use to advertise on this forum but not any more. Of course most are illegal.

I am an expat

yes

It's the US that 'make' us buy weapons from them.

No we won't, what makes you say this?

Can't hear it.

I'm looking forward to 60, when I can stop working and all kids educated. Yes, the older I get, the nearer death, so less worry about it. It's all an illusion anyway, that's becoming clearer to me.

He was not known for his honesty/integrity. I was actually offered a Master's from there for 50k baht many years ago.

Indeed, something that Thais and foreigners have to accept/tolerate.

There's a wise proverb, 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'.

Indeed, the risk isn't worth it, In my opinion.

This 50 baht is not a foreigner price, at least it doesn't say that.

What does this mean?

One thing you have to learn, if you want a pleasant stay here, is that every Thai officer has their own kingdom. If you disrespect their kingdom, for example by going above their head, you will subsequently pay, they never forget. Once, I went to Nong Kai immigration, before Khon Kaen had one. I worked for a local university and went there with the head of the uni, a well known guy, as he was going to Nong Kai for a funeral. I walked into immigration with these senior guys in their white uniforms with an attitude of they have to give me a visa. The officer demanded they leave and made me come back the next month by myself. This happened for 6 months until I decide to accept I had violated his kingdom and waiied him. Immediately, he accepted I had learned my lesson and stamped my visa for a year. Remember Thais don't like foreigners very much, especially ones who don't know the cultural ways, or ones who refuse to integrate into society. Your only hope here is to go and apologize, bring flowers, and basically beg for forgiveness.
