Congratulations for slipping that one in without being pestered for a link! Oops! Sorry, that's done it... 🙄🤣🤣

Lost for words.

My better half thinks he's already signed his own death warrant, and would be better off out of Thailand.

I really don't understand the mentality of anyone who still supports that island. I've been asked to go numerous times, and recounted the events every time. I discourage anyone and everyone from ever going there.

Seems you're English is as bad as there maths! 🙄🙄🙄

Too many rich, influential, and dangerous [Thai] people involved in the cannabis trade to ever stop it now. Going against these people is like signing your own death warrant. The proverbial genie's already out of the bottle.

Nothing wrong with your first comment. It was just pedantic dinosaurs here that missed the point. It was in keeping with other posts mocking his [poor] use of the English language. I expect the majority claiming intellectual superiority by not understanding your post/language or knowing, or at the very least being capable of working out what a "Kick streamer" is, are like as full of **it as he is!

Did you read that yourself before posting, or just type and hit the button? Bloody hell, it was difficult to make any sense of it! I gave up after the first few sentences. Here's a tip... if you want people to actually read, consider, and respond to your droning monologue, at least take the time to proof read it!

He's probably scared of a lynching if he walks outside, and rightly so! I think the vigilantes will be after him. Safer inside than out.

I very much doubt it!

I don't have a racist bone in my body, but that doesn't preclude me from enjoying a bit of karma and laughing at the irony, having been on the recieving end in Thailand, China, Hong-Kong, and India! That's hardly the definition of racism.

Brilliant! Som num nah!

Speak for yourself!

The forum may want a native English speaker to review the post you quoted too!

Pathetic druggie. When you can't walk 10 metres without bumping into a legit weed shop, yet you choose to take something illegal. Yeah, I'll say it again, pathetic druggie!

It's true... I've met loads of SAS, SBS, SEALs, and airline pulots! Never met a builder or plumber though!

Yeah, what I mean is if immigration at Rayong get a bit funny that I don't have a Rayong TM30, it may cause me issues. I could go on the Friday, and then I have Monday (the last day) to go to Jomtien, just in case. In all my years travelling here, I've seen immigration refuse things for the most inane of reasons. I've had them give me 30 days from the date I visited immigration in the past (admittedly, only once), and there's no point in trying to reason with them. They love the power!

Thank you for the replies, guys. Yeah, I'm wondering about whether a Rayong TM30 will be required, and whether it will cause any problems. I want to leave it to the last day, to maximise my stay, but don't want to end up being in limbo because of trying to do it in Rayong. Jomtien's a PITA though, and agents want 4K to do the dirty work and bypass the great unwashed. The money's not a problem, but the principle is!

Does anyone here have recent experience of a 30 day extension (UK passport) at Rayong immigration? I'm staying near U-Tapao, and figure Rayong is probably a bit quieter and more convenient than Jomtien.

I saw a bloke get knocked over on Jomtien Beach Road on Saturday night. Luckily he seemed to be OK, as it was more "quarter-on", rather than full head-on in the middle of the bumper, but he was knocked to the ground, nonetheless. Well... he was OK enough to start balling the girl out for her incompetent driving once he'd been helped back to his feet! Crossing the road at Big-C north Pattaya on Friday night (at the pedestrian crossing), we waited for the light to go red, then gave it another 5 seconds watching the oncomming traffic, and sure enough a car drove straight through the red light. I did however motion him through, with one of Paddington's hardest stares and big waving hand gestures (shame I didn't have a whistle and torch, for the full effect!), and he gave me the sheepish but annoyed "losing face" look as he knew he was in the wrong. I doubt it will stop him doing anything different next time though. Thailand doesn't give a toss about pedestrians. A pedestrian is the lowest form here. Then come cyclists, then small cars, then pickups... SUVs, minivans, Mercs/Audis/BMWs/sportscars etc., and finally coaches and trucks. Just your typical Thailand top-down/size inferiority complex mentality.

You missed the point. Never mind.

Yeah, cos the guard wouldn't have had a phone himself! 🙄

Nice! But should've used "Monkies"!

I wonder if all the miserable old b*ggers moaning on this topic ever enjoyed late nights out in their younger days... or were always this miserable?

Could've sworn we were told he was fine a week ago or so... right around the time the photo of him in the pool with his grandkid was leaked. Still. Nothing to do with us. It's the Thais that [should probably] need to be up in arms, but that'll never happen.
