Get a Bolt taxi to Ban Pakkad for about เธฟ4k return, and next to the little coffee shop and convenience store is a young Cambodian girl who'll walk you through the border and back for เธฟ2k. Not particularly cheap, but at such short notice your options are limited. https://maps.app.goo.gl/VrMZevNqnVYRnz6Z9

British Pensioner Struggles with Frozen Pension in Thailand
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You sound bitter. Jealous? I've been a "digital nomad" since before it was even a thing! I pay into a private pension. -
Police break up network aiding foreigners to stay in Thailand
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I agree. I do agree with the x-number of Thai employees per foreign employee/director, but why should 51% be owned by a Thai?! Utter BS! -
Big Thailand visa changes from June 1
sabai-dee-man replied to snoop1130's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I've not had a visa for about 15 years, and stay 5-6 months a year over each winter. Never had a problem with extensions and border runs. I just got back to the UK about 10 days ago after arriving in BKK at Xmas. Last year was good, with the 45+30 setup, but 60+30 will be handy. A digital nomad visa will probably work out about the same as a couple border runs & extensions, but without the hassle of the white knuckle minibus rides! Bring it on! -
Midnight Mayhem: Tiger on the Prowl Alarms Thailand Locals
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
They deal with a lot of (often dangerous) snakes, but I doubt a juvenile tiger is generally within their remit. I wonder how you would've handled it?!- 34 replies

Bangkok Chaos: Pickup Plummets From 4/FL Hospital Car Park
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I've driven in many countries around the world, and without doubt, Thais are the worst drivers I've ever had the misfortune to encounter! -
Bad News For Weed Shops: Potent Cannabis Poses Mental Health Risks
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, exactly. He dabbled a bit on occasion "for medicinal reasons", but I came back at the end of 2022 to find him skiving off work and sitting in weed bars continuously. 6 months later the job was gone, 9 months later the house was gone. He couldn't even be arsed to rent the house out as an AirBnB. Totally lost the will to be a productive member of society. As for friend #2, he openly admits himself, smoking dope absolutely led him on to hard drugs. Believe what you want. It makes no odds to me. -
Bad News For Weed Shops: Potent Cannabis Poses Mental Health Risks
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I have three friends who regularly smoked weed from their mid teens. One kicked the habit in his late 30s, early 40s, and is fine, the second progressed to hard drugs, and thankfully managed to get clean about 8 years ago... but his brain is frazzled. He was my best friend at school, but we lost touch when I went to work and he went to college, and got in with the wrong crowd. Drugs totally f****d his life up. The third guy, here in Thailand, now in his late 20s, had a good job and had bought a nice house... lost the will, lost his job, and lost his house! Now lives with his mother in Issan, and no longer even chats with anyone. He's just stoned all the time. I'll pass, thank you. Doesn't appear to be as "harmless" as people claim. -
Prosecution Looms Over Deceased French Woman's Fortune

When i first arrived 25 years ago, a friend said "never invest anything here you can't afford to lose". Every single transaction I make to this day, I bear his advice in mind. -

Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not likely. The sun's currently at the peak of its 11 year cycle of activity, so there's probably a good 8-12 months of [relatively] high activity to go. -

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

US Kick streamer provokes brawl in Thailand
sabai-dee-man replied to george's topic in Thailand News
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!

Swiss national opts for jail after assaulting Thai woman in mall
sabai-dee-man replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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.
