Everytime when such incident happened... the victim's family and friends without fail will claim the victim is an angel ... being set up..

Come on people use  your intelligence....

those families dont have intelligence,

if they had their kid wont smuggle anything in or out a country.

I am traveling around the world already for more than 30 years,

never ever smuggled anything to anywhere.

but, then again, I am not trying to get rich superquick.

as I dont like the jail in many countries.

I have seen some prisons from the outside and inside, but never stayed in one.

you dont want to be in them.

Jezus , some harch comments here, again.

Give her a break , it's not the crime of the century.

maybe in your opinion.

but in the opinion of many others, including almost all countries, smuggling drugs is a big crime.

its impossible that she did not know that there was drugs in her suitecase.

rule 1 when traveling.

pack your <deleted> yourself.

dont let anybody else put stuff in your suitecase.

rule 2

dont take anything with you for somebody if you dont know what is in it.

many countries aren't that nice if you come in and smuggle stuff in that is not allowed.

do the crime, pay with your time.

This is life is a Democrat run city.  

no, this is life under trump.

a total disaster

it is so funny that everyone is complaining about the rules that not are even in their own country.

you are a visitor, even if you are already 20 years in the country, still a visitor, exect if you have a thai passport.

dont like it, goto cambodia, vietnam, laos or any other country that suits your needs

it seems also that there are a lot of alcoholics here on this forum, as it seems by their comments, they cant cope with 3 hours of no alcohol sale in a 711 or tesco or big-c.

probably the same type of people that are sitting in a beerbar at 10am in the morning and already drinking their 4th beer, after they had breakfast with beer earlier.

or they are still in their bed sleeping of the last night party with too much alcohol like they do every day.

99% of the people can handle this easily, go shopping between 11-2 or after 5 and you can buy all alcohol you want from the band shops.

Paper and and a plue pen sounds simple to me.

ow but then you need tto think about bring a pen with you in the airplane.

and what I have noticed is that at least 30% of the people in the plane dont have a pen.
dont know what to fill in.

and even not fill it in at all and just goto the passport control to see what happens.

I can just see, a very nice Thai immigration lady,  standing behind a computer terminal at

BKK airport. and a queue of 500 angry people in front of her..

That would never happen here, would it. 

 

that only will happen with people who dont prepare their trip.

that are probably the same people who forget to buy travel insurance or check their insurance

same who drive a motorbike in thailand without a drive licence and without a helmet on.

the same that think what they can do at their home back yard they can do also in the middle of the beach in thailand.
and the same who think that the laws in thailand are not for them.

and the same people who complain that thailand is not like their home country.

that all is different.

I already knew this was going to hapopen 1 moth agoi.
only not yet where to regiter it.
and the 3 days was also known already

so I put it in my electronic agenda on my phone to warm me 3 calandar days based on THAI time to fill in the website.

but yes you are right, most people dont prepare their trip decent.

If she not agree with the law, then just quit the job and go look for some other job. Religion is never more important then the law. Good she is jailed for it.

Nope, shelter them in their own area. Make it safe at their own home place.

Bad luck for him.

But, he and nobody else got on the back of the bike.

Not blame others that they did something wrong, he also could go walking, stay home, take the bus or a taxi.

Life is just full of issue, some just get you hurt, some even will kill you.

If he not got on the back of the bike, nothing would have happened.

He is also lucky with his insurance.

Seems that he was not fully covered for what he was doing.

Many people dont even bother to look what they are insured for.

Some some other comment about check for drive license.

You, yourself and nobody else is responsible for your own actions.

Why do you not get on a motorbike at home when you dont have the proper training for it but, what the heck, in a strange country with different rules and different style of driving, there you can get on the bike without a helmet, no decent clothing and flipflops.

Why are so many people so stupid when they are more then 100km from home.

And when something goes wrong, blame everything else but not themselves.

It seems that here on thai visa are very much super investigators because all of them just read 10 lines of news and they all have a great opinion what the police should do and what they already did wrong. I assume that all the posters here have a perfect place where they live and the police will do as they say, as it seems that they are perfect in their jobs.

Just tKe a synology nas with 4 disks of 4tb each, put in raid5 and no problem anymore, if 1 disk fails, buy a new one and replace it. All data still intact

Run forest, run, and never look back. Never pay 500.000 thai bath for a woman. You will never see it back. They are farm family, they not know what 500K is, never seen it before.

As earlier said, what a thai man would pay? Well, I guess not more then 10.000

Leave her and the family and never see them again.

Next they will ask you for a 800K pickup toyota and a new house and more more more.

Stop this nonsense at once and put your foot down.

If she not accept, then leave her to get married to a farm boy and work the rest of her life like her family on the farm.

Well, since a few years, lg is producing tv's based on philips technology.

That is a lot better then what they made before.

And for the other stuff, they ise also philips technology.

Far more better quality then samsung or toshiba.

You may not realise this my friend but samsung and Panasonic make 90% of all the world's t.v. screens. :-)

So, and , philips is still way better then the other brands of tv.

But, if you like to have a product that is 2nd class or broke in a few years, take a samsung or toshiba or some other japanese brand. With the new software, they monitor everything you do in your house.

Big brother is watching you.

It maybe looks good, but the stuff they put inside is not the best quality there is.

Only need to look at a samsung phone, then you see the difference.

And yeah, i have android phone, used a samsung but thrown it away. Worthless shit.

The ECB loaned Greece at the highest interest rate of 7% knowing they were a terrible risk whereas the prime countries or the lowest risks only have to pay 1%. They were set to fail from the beginning. Top that off with a privately owned central bank which was only interested in profit they had to fail.

If Greece will nationalize their central bank and not have to create money by borrowing at high interest, they can make a comeback but it will not be easy. The BRICS bank will back them at a decent price as they need to build their operating base.

The only way that greece can create their own money is get out of the euro.

Please do so and take the other garlic countries with.

Let them have their own currency please.

We, north europe will be way better off.

Due to the greece and the other garlic countries our pensions are worthless at the moment.

All because they needed to bail out the garlic countries.

There is only one thing good in that region, that is the sun.

For the ret you get screwed over everything else.

If you worried how much you pay extra, go pay with cash only. Then no extra fee needed

Difficult for me to answer here as whatever I say will be considered as biased.

We got our independence in 1828, after 400 years of occupation and slavery to the Turks.

We haven't got many natural resources and the Greek terrain mostly consists of bare rocky land, difficult for agriculture.

Manufacturing is nearly non existent.

Shipping was famous all over the world but the Greek ship owners decided to register their fleet with foreign flags so to avoid paying any taxes .

The only assets we had were tourism and our famous Greek Filoksenia.

Introducing Greece to the Euro has rocketed the tourist prices for the past 10-15 years.

So any advantage we had to other tourist orientated countries has disappeared.

I do agree that our introduction to the EU was not 100% genuine, but for us was a big step forward and a way getting out of poverty and misery we suffered for all those years.

Now the situation is that we are back to where we started and even worst.

Unemployment is high, people started starving, pensioners have seen their pensions cut in half, due to the austerity measures introduced by our EU partners.

I'm not saying that what they imposed on us is wrong, after all the loans have to be paid back.

But for how long are we expected to suffer?

For how many generations are we supposed to suffer?

People is known through history to revolt against poverty and suffering.

Why Greek people has to endure this?

Ask yourselves if you were in the same situation what you would have done.

Yes, I would accept the answer, you put yourselves in the shit you come out now if you can.

But it seems there is a change for us to come out.

Contrary to my believes, Russia and China are offering a helping hand.

I would take it as I can't see any other solution to our suffering.

Dear costas,

As you stated yourself here above, what would we do IF we would be in the same position.

The answer is simple to that.

We north europeans will not get in the same position ever, as we understand very well that earnings have to come before spending.

And we can not spend what we do not have.

So, the same for the new government on greece, they are already spending what they not have and never will get.

Just to make to real greek people suffer more later.

Pay your taxes, as you should pay them, stop many laws that males is possible to evade taxes, like if house not finished, taxes not need to pay.

But, Costas,

Tell us how long we need to look at the countries that are connected to mediteranian sea and see how they are spending the money that is earned by the northern countries, how long do we need to take the bullshit stories about why it is not possible to do this or that to make sure the government and big companies are not corrupt.

When wiil spain, portugal, greece, italy,france leave the euro zone and even better, leave schengen and eu also.

Would be better for all of us i think.

Then you can do what ever you want, how ever you want and when you want

Bur be not surprised that you still go broke every 3 to 6 years.

As the only thing a greek person is good at, evade paying anything they need to pay and borrow as much as they can without the intention to pay back ever.

I think if they are not born in the UK, married to someone born in UK or their parents were not born in the UK then they should send them all home. I guess if that doesn't sort out the issue of every man and his dog moving to the UK from other parts of the EU, then as a last resort the UK could adopt Thailand's laws on immigration, that would certainly sort out the freeloaders. Too many people claiming rights and UK citizenship and ripping an already struggling system off, because one of their great ancestors was British… woopty f$%king doo daaa.

I think there is even a better option,

For example, if not born in london, not have parents from london, or the wife is not from london, then all people should be kicked out of london also.

But, as this is the thai visa, forum, the same counts for thailand or any city in thailand.

For me it feels very strange that all the farang here wants to be in thailand and not want any laws that makes them leave or what ever.

But when they talk about their home country, then they want all the laws so all foreign people can be kicked out at the spot.

Talking about biased minds.

Or do you all think you are some higher human being that has more value then the rest of the world.

If so, then you better get worried about the next war, because most the wars started over this issue.

Some human thinks that he is more then the other human.

But, what the heck, most of you not think that. Most of you here know that.

Criminals, and Justice should be world wide, you cant hide from the law. Well done. Drug dealers are the scum of the earth. They break up families and ruin lives,

Bullshit.

The user is to blame, nobody else.

If nobody buys it, then is will not be produced and no profit will be made.

Alcohol, cigarettes and many more stuff is same addictive, but nobody complains about that.

Make it legal, if they want to use it, up to them.

If they wanna die from it, up to them.

But not blame somebody else for providing things you are not able to withstand.

You can just walk into Talay 6, get the lift to the 27 floor, walk to the end of the corridor, open the window over the pool then that's it, should put locks on them windows now

why put a lock on it?

If they wanna jump they break the whole window.

This is cheaper.

And really, if people want to die, let them die.

Provide good options for a quick and painless death.

Who are we to tell other that they have to live even when they not want to live.

so they don't land on your head when your around the pool,

That would be they only good reason to do so.

But, if they wanna jump they open the window or break it.

Or make sure you get the bank fee also as an discount.

If you in bkk, go to superrich, close to silom cetre.

Take cash with you and passport.

They have even the best rate you want.

After that, deposit on your account.

Best way to safe money and not too nosy why and what.

For the rest, i would change the bank very quickly if they want a marriage certificate every time.

Kasikorn want nothing, just a passport, na,e pf hotel you stay and you can open an account in pattaya, easy.

Even do internet banking from europe with kasikorn.
