I used to feel sorry for them until they murdered that elderly couple south of phuket and stole their boat to go to indonesia

I stopped using lazada a couple of months now and just using shopee. I always paid with thai bank card but it had some other issue come up that has been a topic of discussion here a few months ago. Would like to sort it out but it was quite a confusing pain in the ass to get my head around it from memory.

Obviously full of Russians. This "Thai prison nightmare" is still better for them than getting blown in half in their frontlines. If Thailand sent them packing like Sri Lanka did quite a few would take their chances with overstay I think.

Would've been tens or hundreds in reality. Good on them for allowing people to take nalaxone in though

Surprised they could get a hold of jetstar to ask them for comment

As I read this my hallway is lit up with screaming russians and their kids having some sort of domestic issue slamming their door so hard it is shaking my door. When is this bubble of some fake tourist utopia going to burst?

Chuck them in a ring if they want to fight. Give them a safer space to bash the f out of eachother. For all the thai "security" belting people to within an inch of their life, send them to the army in the south. Russians deport. If they want to fight there is plenty of opportunity on their borders.

Deplorable behaviour of a sex pest. That aside the way the police handle this visit is dishonest and shady. Maybe the light blurring of the suspects face means they can do as they wish with the footage. Sex pest: "What's with all the cameras?" Cop: "Oh it's a PDPA act in Thailand. It needs to be recorded that nobody is harming you". Ironically PDPA is Personal Data Protection Act. According to chatgpt: "The police do not need to record by law, but they may choose to do so within legal bounds. If you are uncomfortable, you can object, but the police may continue if they justify it as necessary for public interest or their protection. Consulting a legal professional is advisable if such situations arise." Lawful Purpose and Use: Recordings made by police must be used strictly for the stated purpose (e.g., ensuring transparency during an investigation or as evidence in court). If the footage is shared publicly without valid legal justification, it breaches the principle of purpose limitation under the PDPA. Consent for Disclosure: Under the PDPA, disclosing personal data to third parties (e.g., news outlets) generally requires the consent of the individual involved, unless specific legal exceptions apply. Breach of Privacy: If the footage is leaked or shared without consent, it constitutes a misuse of personal data, potentially leading to legal repercussions for the responsible party (e.g., the police department or an individual officer). Seems to be the modus operandi for this division of the police. Film it and sell it to news outlets.

Entered twice on it. Just 1 week apart. Once in BKK once in Phuket. No issue whatsoever however I think it's a good idea to travel with the required documents and then some. A guy at the next counter also had evisa (saw the QR) and was getting asked for proof of his accomodation and the works by the looks. Could've been Tourist visa or DTV. Either way be prepared.

Tainted no. Smashed as f, yes. Perfect age for most of the men here I imagine.

Where are the no parking markings? The whole chaining bike things is weird. Where I come from people would just cut them and be on their way. A paper ticket to the registration owner is more effiecient.

Temple shoes worth 50k? wtf

You got jupped!

Popularity?? They were not the most popular party at election. Nor were their leaders. Yet here we are.

According to this you get a permit and then proceed through the red declaration channel on arrival. Everyone above is saying they just enter and never get stopped. I have also never been stopped in 14 years. Just once recently for some reason a lady looked up from her phone as I was exiting and told me to scan my bag. Once in 14 years. I have a family member who needs to bring a weeks supply of prescribed Methadone in soon. Knowing what Thai bureaucracy is like I really wonder if going down through the red declaration channel with the permit is going to cause more issues for him than getting a permit and going through the green channel. If that medication gets confiscated his holiday is effectively over and he may as well stay in the airport and fly straight back. Another thing not mentioned here is the conundrum of booking a holiday with no certainty of if you can get issued this medicine whilst in Thailand. Methadone is only prescribed in 1 week supplies. This means the travellers holiday is limited to 1 week unless they can get another weeks supply whilst in Thailand. I have contacted both Bumrungrad and BKK Hospital Phuket to try and organise a pre-approval for this as it is pretty hard to book flights / rooms without knowing. They both said a consultation is needed with the psychiatrist to decide whether it can be prescribed. Both are listed on FDA website as recommended hospitals for getting narcotics yet neither do pre-approvals so any traveller in this situation has no certainty whatsoever when booking their holiday.
