    i have seen Ferraris and Lambos in garages, too. would that mean i should be entitled to use it any time, free of charge, since it is just there, idle?

     

    wishing bad to others can backfire to you, too? i hope not!

    Apples and oranges. You have no right to another's property. This was an emergency and the HUMANE thing to have done would be accommodate the child. There would have been no real cost. And I grow weary of PC crap.

  2. From the article:  "The new rules are sowing chaos and confusion"

    The dust has settled, we've either acclimated or moved on. I know a guy who knows a guy, and that guy says it's business as usual (though he raised his annual rates by ฿500). Yes, we were confused and anxious, but the days of 500+ responses in a 24 hour period about announcements made by immigration (alleged or actual) are done. Life goes on.

  3. As I've written several times before, I left Thailand after 10 years of putting up with their nonsense and was back six weeks later with a new appreciation.  I've been in the states caring for a very sick relative since 1 Aug 2018 and get to return in June. I guess thoughts and prayers DO work <sarcasm>. Each time I leave for an extended period of time reminds me of why I still live in Thailand. Traveling to a new country solo can be daunting, but to the victors go the spoils. Take the plunge, be cautious and DON'T fall in love! This is a great place to rent, don't purchase so early in your life (and I'm sure you know I'm NOT talking about real estate).

  4. Just do it. Don't do stupid stuff like getting staggering drunk walking on the beach at 3:00 a.m.  Lurk as you've been doing on ThaiVisa to get a feel for the place. Remember you are the foreigner, this is THEIR country.  Don't quarrel with the locals, you will ALWAYS lose.  Ask up front how much a motorbike taxi will cost and tip them 10 baht.  If in Pattaya, go to Tiffany's show. If in Phuket, go to Fantasea.  Enjoy your trip!
