This guy has gone...............not coming back.....has plenty of cash .................can live anywhere

Thai justice only counts if you are not a hi so, smart to oppose bail while he is out of the country though , probably has the house next to taxin ......................

Once again, TAT please engage BRAIN BEFORE opening mouth, does your "Upgrade to luxury" mean literally Value for money at a much HIGHER price ??

I've never been to Phuket and have no desire to go but what seems to be a common thread through the tourist areas is that the police are in league with the small time criminals (jet ski operators, motorbike rentals, taxi and tuk-tuk drivers, bars and karaoke bars) who extort excessive amounts of money from tourists and when there is an argument resulting in injury or death to the tourist the police are not interested unless the incident gets in the media. You say it is a small percentage, but if it was your father, or mother, sister or brother who was assaulted or murdered percentages are irrelevant. This is not civilized. This makes Thailand look bad in the eyes of the world. It is necessary to admit this problem exists and it is necessary to admit this is a Thai problem not something foreigners bring. I think better pay for the police and sincere prosecution and imprisonment for the corrupt cops would be a good start.

I've never been to Phuket or Pattaya although I'd like to just to see for myself what it's like. The chances are nothing bad will happen simply because the proportion of scamming and criminal incidents are small even in those places. If the government can make a difference then well done to them and at last something to praise them for but I have my doubts. It would probably require action against the powerful and well connected which doesn't seem to be happening yet in other areas so we'll have to wait and see.

I wonder if there will be any more reports on this initiative?

Yes i wonder to, we always hear lots of talk about how things will get cleared up but never see any results or follow up news, this will probably follow the same course.

Always assuming that the government in question were competent to run such a scheme without losing the payments somewhere along the way and that certainly leaves this government out.

I used to play the Thai Lottery when it was 80bht, then it went to 85bht because its "New Year", that's when i stopped, now i see that the vendors are asking 110bht for the 80bht ticket ( 2 x 40 )for a top prize of 4 mill which used to be 6 mill, its a joke and VERY suspect

Don't smile, they think you are taking the mick

Is this guy for real

The one thing that is starting to bother me is that I am starting to drive like them.

Yea, me to, i have really mellowed out, and now do not shout "you stupid cnt" anymore, well not as much anyway

Yes i guess you are right, the poorer class that this government were supposed to be helping are in fact suffering more, food, gas, diesel,

and many more basic necessity are now costing much more than before this government was "elected", the 300Bht per day has cost many field hands their jobs as many of the rice farmers now turn to machines to process their crops which is now cheaper and quicker., is it any wonder that the crime rate is getting higher.

Can't you just go into the bank ( with your passport and card and draw cash without paying a charge )

Do them both while you are in the UK, that's what i will be doing, as the other post cheaper and eaiser

When you get the visa transferred , do the Immigration need a letter from the Brit/ Embassy, i ask as i am sure i have read this somewhere ? or can you use the old passport with visa along with the new one until it expires ?any help would be appreciated

Rik, i just had to see how this post came out, i actually read all of the replies and your answers which in most cases swayed with the wind, you seem just to good to be true, so much so that i almost thought you were trolling and i have to say the saying " one born every minute" comes to mind, but have fun and carry on building, i wish you good luck, ...........................

Mate i wish you luck, but having lived here quite a long time i have heard story's like yours quite often and they do not all end happily, hope yours will, just keep looking through those rose tinted glasses, how old are you by the way as you sound a bit naive.

Justice at any cost........................

Buy A TV then get TRUE ViSON GOLD

Judging by the amount of replies it would seem that not to many people are interested in what

Mr ME ME wants

Why do you need sponsorship, the way you write says you have enough cash in the bank , just get a bank statment and letter from your bank and present it with all other doc's required or maybe you really do not have the dosh and are just b s ing like your letter of work

Is this a threat to invoke violence against a legaly appointed court of Thailand by the people in his pay ( red shirts ) if so surley

this is a treasonable act and should be treated as such.

Am I the only one thinking that PTP is trying to bankrupt Thailand anyway they can? First Rice scheme, Then there is First car Rebate and now stronger than ever Thai baht for export oriented Thai economy? Oh, don't forget 300 baht / day min. salary so everybody can increase price of food, services and more!

I wonder when companies will begin to move other countries? And who plans to buy Thailand at a bargain price with 400 billion (estimated) net worth.

He's already done that, now its just a matter of squeesing it dry
