Because it means actually having to police... and that's out of the question for the majority in Thailand. That job's not about policing, it's about personal income.

The chromosomes say otherwise. Edit: just saw @cardinalblue reply. Agree entirely.

I see all the usual the bitter old gits are out again! What's up... your favourite bar not open yet?

Again???! LOL

During my 4-6 month stays, I'll visit friends in Pattaya 2 or 3 times for a night out. I wouldn't even think of stepping out the door with less than ฿10k cash and my Wise card. No crumpet purchases... I'm very happy with Ms. Sabaidee! A good night on the tiles is ฿15k easy, especially with today's exchange rate. So many tight-arses on AN it's astounding.

Druggies! 🙄🙄🙄

Never go in there.... too many foreigners. Not many, but too many! 🤣🤣 I like IDA for the food, and the little hotpot place next door, also the nice little "steak" restauraunt a block before the bridge leading to Tesco. The place is a ghost town by 8:30pm most nights. Fine by me for the odd break as I have my own entertainment, but not for someone like him it would seem.

At least Buriram has a racetrack... what's Korat got, other than a Terminal 21? As for Phimai, there's b*&&er all there but a Tesco Lotus and an old Khmer temple. No wonder he was grumpy! LOL The plank needs to move somewhere a little more lively. Phimai isn't for foreigners looking for a bawdy night on the tiles!

Buriram is not F1 certified, and would require considerable changes to meet the FIA requirements. Newin said right from the off, he never intended it to host F1, as it was never worth the investment. Thailand will never host an F1 race.

"Us"? Do you have something to confess? 🤔

A lot of bitter people here. You sound like one of them. I've been visiting for over 25 years, and never (knowingly/intentionally) broken the law.

Exactly this! I stay 4-6 months, depending on both the weather at home, and when I arrive in Thailand, and doing that with just a single death defying visa run was bliss. I tend to spend £2-3k a month during my stay. I don't rob people, I don't beat people up, I don't set up rogue businesses, and don't help anyone else do those things. I do like to sit on the beaches and eat in restaurants a lot though. Numpties!

Imagine not being able to go a day without alcohol! Some people really need to seek help!

Because they're not real police! They're racketeers.

Standing by for the "there's no such thing as a bad dog" morons...

Ms. Sabaidee lives/works near KM10 (100m or so from the roundabout where you turn off for U-Tapao), and we find Bolt very hard to get, to the point where we've had multiple rides with the same drivers, and ended up taking their personal numbers. I've had a couple of occasions where Bolt drivers have messaged first trying to increase the price on the side. I just immediately cancel and hit the report button. I hope you do too!

It's hot and sunny 10 months of the year, and mangos are cheap! 🤣🤣🤣

This is why you always rent in Thailand!

Let's see if you say the same if it's you they target.... or maybe your elderly mother or little sister! Let's see the faces of the scum!

Why, is she an alcoholic? I've never understood the attraction of daytime drinking. Mind you, I'm not much of a drinker at all since my 20s & early 30s partying era. It's all a bit sad when you're devastated it's a dry day, or can't get a drink in the afternoon.

More A-holes with cameras! YouTube has a lot to answer for. 🤬🤬🤬 I wonder if the Thais were really women... 🤔🤔🤔

Yes, you can. But it's more expensive. I've done it for my last 3 trips, which I've extended by 2 or 3 months each. There are a handful of specialist companies that will provide cover, typically for digital nomads and the like.

No excuse. I've overstayed my insurance for the last 3 visits, and taken out additional cover each time. It's more expensive to take out cover while you're already away, and limited to specialist companies, but such is life. Every "annual multi-trip" i can remember has been limited to 30 days per trip too, so if staying longer, you need different cover. It really isn't rocket science. There's no excuse, and no sympathy, for being uninsured.

Yeah... you lost me at "no insurance/go fund me". No need to read any further.

I heard a good one yesterday... He couldn't empty ditch water out of his shoe if the instructions were on the sole!
