Calm down. There are countless numbers of farangs who either live here permanently or visit for tourism, family, etc. The vast majority never have a problem with police or anyone else. They've passed the exam Thailand 101 which requires students to know the basics about life in Thailand. Unfortunately some foreigners fail the exam due to ignorance and illiteracy

Move Forward Dissolution Bid Part Of Thaksin’s Secret Deal
bannork replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Some posters go on about there's no democracy in Thailand, it's hopeless, the army etc will never let MF become the government. So what's the choice? Take to the streets. Then the army cries unrest, millions of Thais are living hand to mouth, or month to month, so violent suppression plus financial hardship drives the protesters back to work after yet another coup. The alternative- MF are reborn after dissolution, the demands, the cries for reform of Thailand are unstoppable amongst an increasing number of the population. 2 years ago it was 14.4 million. In three years perhaps 20 million. In the meantime old age and beyond envelop the present elite, disappearing beyond the horizon. -

Swiss Man Who ‘Kicked’ Doctor Loses Visa, 2nd Swiss Man Too Could Do So

He only owns one elephant. If David returns to his homeland, I suggest his charming wife goes to visit him overland on their one magnificent beast. She could start a YouTube channel based on the legendary 'Hannibal Crosses the Alps' tale of yore. -
Swiss Man Who ‘Kicked’ Doctor Loses Visa, 2nd Swiss Man Too Could Do So
bannork replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When people slip, they invariably utter an instinctive sound or word- 'oh', 'aaah', etc. I'm not sure what sound Swiss people emit but I'm fairly sure it's not ' fluck off' repeated. -
Swiss man who allegedly assaulted Thai doctor faces additional charges
bannork replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Apart from the totally unprovoked kicking of the doctor, the anger in the Swiss's voice when suggesting the two ladies move, was startling. The venom, the hatred, he sounded unhinged. Lucky he didn't bring out his gun. Is it true he was a security guard back home? Time to once again don the jacket and cap and patrol the premises of Credit Suisse. -

Due to her warmth, good looks and charm, Yingluk was, and no doubt still, remains popular upcountry, but I wonder whether she's ambitious enough to want to be PM again. Plus her lack of political experience, poor English and geography skills would mean more criticism on social media. I'd expect Pheu Thai to use her more for boosting their image, campaigning during election time, etc But she may prefer a private life, after all Tony owes her a lot.

What a load of tosh. Thai- Israel government contracts for Thai labour have existed for years. For a long time, decades, it's been a legal way for working class Thais to earn enough money to build a house, etc back home. Many stay for years, sending money home every month. Comments like som nam na betray posters' ignorance and worse.
