There goes the last of a true policeman who would go after criminals. I have made a few complains to Pattaya police. They were justifiable complaints. I was alway told "If you want them to do their job, I had to pay them money. All Thai police are corrupt, and refuse to do the job they are payed to reinforce. I once called about a Thia man chasing a girl out of a bar in the early morning 7 AM, when the Thia bar should have been closoed down. The police station hung up the phone, I called again and they hung up again. I guess Pattaya police do not care about a Thia man beating, pulling a woman by the hair down the street. It is worthless to call Pattaya police, they will not respond. I was tire of being told more than once to pay them to do thier job. My motorbike was hit from behind from a speeding driver. I asked to have them review the street cameras, they told me I had to pay. I'd rather stay away from these clowns in brown.

Pattaya — Two South Korean tourists reportedly threw beer at a group of Thai women, before the group attacked them in retaliation, resulting in one tourist being injured.

The incident occurred on Soi 12 near Pattaya Beach last night, September 10th. Sawang Boriboon rescue workers received a report of the incident and rushed to the scene to find two unidentified South Korean men lying in the middle of the road, seemingly heavily intoxicated.

 

One of them had sustained minor injuries. The rescue team transported the injured person to the hospital.

An eyewitness to the incident, Mr. Santi Poonnoi, told local media that he saw the foreigners splashing beer at a group of Thai women for no apparent reasons.

I know how this went down after altercation. The police say "How much you pay me to do my job?" If not worth thier time they not respond. I have gone to Pattaya Police before, filed a report/complaint. Made the report and then asked what they are going to do. The policeman tells me how much am I going to pay. That is corruption/exstortion. I refised to pay police to do the job they are paid to do. Another time some Thia man was beating a Thia girl on 3rd Road outside a Thai bar (never good) and the police hung up on me twice. Do you think you are protected in Pattaya-NOT

You can get a RC-PCR (Spelling) the rapid test you need at Pattaya Memorial. My wife and child got this there before returning to USA.

Thanks to readers who last week called my column “overlong”, “fluff” and “bragging”. 

 

Come on, it was only 3,000 words, it contained an enormous amount of useful advice to parents and, besides, I’m the best columnist in Thailand since the advent of khanompang in slices.

Brother I look forward to each week of reading your levity, humor and updates. Never let neysayers keep you down. Keep up the great writings

I have a big condo on Phratamnak Road on top of the hill, soi 4 for rent. 4 mintes to Jomtien or Pattaya perfect split. Let me know when you get here if interested.

I love Sombat condo pool, can do laps relax in pure sun and the water is warm. Also has a sauna at the pool. Very quiet on Pratamnak Soi 4. Great area for going to Pattaya or Jomtiem, equal distance. Message me if interested

Why do people compare Thailand, with no "alleged" internal cases for 33 days, with a country pretty well ravaged by Covid-19 ? It just doesn't make any sense at all.

Thailand is not doing virus tests like the rest of the world. Thailand only does limiting tests. Think about it-really, Thailand does not want to be seen as a high risk. Think about how they record deaths from accidents. If you still have a pulse and get loaded on transport from the accident, hopefully to hospital and them die on the way. You did not die from an accident is the way the pad their stats to minimise deaths. Same for the virus, if you die at home, or where ever, it is not recorded as a death by virus. Thailand is padding their stats all the time to make deaths other than what they are. Really think about that, before you go out without a mask, or say there are no deaths from the virus in Thailand in a month. It is because of what they want you to think. Be safe, protect yourself,, it is real and it is in Thailand too. The government does not want panic

It's possible if the sweat contained skin cells.

 

I doubt the police had his DNA on file.  Instead, he was linked as a suspect to the crime based on other evidence.  The DNA test was then taken to confirm that it was his sweat.  Just my guess.

GF currently studying law and she says you are blacklisted.

You commited a crime in Thailand, were convicted of it in Thai court and you are blacklisted. I see no way around this unless you have boat loads of money to pay everyone off. Better off moving your family to India if you will miss them so much

Or better, go to the local Aphor office and get an official letter-permission to take the child out of Thailand. Both parents, and the child, need to be present (if nothing changed since about a year ago). Copies of ID-cards and passport are normally needed.

I had a problem at airport immigration when I first took my son out of Thailand to USA on a USA passport. I used a generic form I found online to have his mother transfer legal guardianship to me and also had stated our son had permission to travel to USA to go to school. Had copies of her ID card signed and went to a lawyer to have the documents notorized. They still pulled us aside at immigration departure, ended up having to call his mom and talk with her. I was told to go to Amphur to have papers done there with her and my son. We will do before he leaves next time just to make sure no problems. Is there a certain form at the Amphur we fill out or should I just do an updated consent form I used before and we go there and have them stamp it? If there is a form where can I find it so I can fill it out before we go to the Amphur.

Also, I am thinking that since he passed through immigration last time and we came back he has an arrival stamp in his USA passport. That and along with the consent form I used (updated to this year) that would work alone, Any ideas on that?

Will still go to the Amphur and do but I wonder if a consent form (updated) and arrival stamp that would work. He will be on an overstay, I have a retirement visa, he is 5 years old, so no penalty for his overstay as long as I am current with my 90 day check in. Thanks for any facts anyone can provide. Would like to know if the Amphur requires their own consent forms or can I use the one I use

The event the OP describes sounds like a community event. Such events, marking weddings, funerals and monk ordinations, etc. are part of life in Thailand, and you are asking for trouble to expect people to conform to your social norms of what constitutes excessive noise. You especially need to be tolerant around New Years and Songkran which are the two holidays where many Thais have enough time off from work to return home.

 

With that said, neighbors cranking up their their home and car sound systems whenever they please on a day-in day-out basis is an entirely different matter. I have had friction with my neighbors in the past by complaining about loud bass music. The thing I have absolutely learned from these confrontations is to never confront people directly when the music is playing, especially at night, when people are very likely inebriated. Using a third party intermediary is advisable, as these disputes can often be seen as a farang vs Thai cultural conflict. Guess who's going to win? I have also on occasion had success just by standing outside the offending house until someone notices me and quickly realizes why I am there. Creepy as hell, you betcha, but surprisingly effective, and it avoids in-your-face verbal confrontation. 

 

I have also had success blasting my speakers in the direction of the offending house, but before doing this I really try to find out if they're having a large party (which I'm more tolerant of) or just a few teenage kids who have decided some loud music is just what the doctor ordered to go with the lao khao or yaa baa they've just consumed. People seem to get the message. As a last resort, you can go to the police, but because of the ill-will this will generate, I don't recommend it unless you are really at your wits end. Taking a walk or drive to escape the noise is another coping technique. I also have talked to almost all my neighbors to sound out their feelings, and it turns out that many of them don't like the loud music any more than me, but don't say anything out of a spirit of greng jai. But I have the feeling that by talking to the neighbors about how much this bothers me, at least somewhat gets filtered back to the offending parties, which helps. After I explained that I do a lot of reading and writing, and that I can't think with that bass music blasting (something I sensed that many people never even considered), I really noticed that my neighbors showed a lot more consideration after they understood why it bothered me. I also leave town around Songkran, in large part to avoid the loud music.

 

Hope this helps.

I have a young Thai man who lives next door to me in a close housing community where the walls are connected to each other. He is a party boy, drinks, smokes pot and takes Jabba, plays his music too loud, has many parties that last over 12 hours. They think they are Karaoke kings, hooking up a microphone to ill equipped electronics, makes for loud feedback at the early morning hours. I have two small children and it is hard to get them to sleep much less when they wake up to loud shrills and screaming like they think they are master DJ's. I have talked to him before and asked him to lower the volume and I get the door slammed in my face. This is the true Thai man that exists today.  He has lost many jobs because he only wants to party. He only lives in this house because his Thai mom/married to farang owns the house. He exists just to party. I have called the the Pattaya police several times but they either hang up (many times) say they do not speak English, or say they sent police but they see fights and had to stop to break it up. On the aforementioned occasion, we called after a 15 hour party and police say the had to break up a Tom Boy/Tom Boy fight, we called back 30 minutes later (Thai wife made the first two calls) after 1 1/2 hours no response I called and when I talked to man and started to give the address he hung up on me. Another time time I called and Policeman said he did not speak English and hung up on me. What kind of Police is that that hangs up on an emergency line????? Pattaya Police are the worst. There needs to be some serious overhaul with them. I there two times before about another place we lived where a Chinese man assaulted us two times. we made a report  and then asked the police what they were going to do about it? Are you going out to the man's house and talk to him? The policeman taking the report told us so you want to spend more money for us to go talk to him? I said no I want you to do your job. He refused to send out police to talk to the man......You are never protected by the Pattaya police. The only time they respond to anything is if it is an accident or death. They like deaths, where they can go in and steal dead man things

I always tell people to read the book "Private Dancer". It is a must read and good read. It explains a lot about the Thai-Farang relationship and what the Tai lady is about in values, family, and life. Read it and it will explain it all

great thanks Bebobp

It does have Retirement stamp on there

Is a Non-O retirement visa the same as an A-O retirement visa? Hard to read the visa but it looks like Non-O reitrement visa

I have an A-O retirement visa

I am getting to renew my annual retirement visa in a few days and now I am confused. I go to USA three times a year and come back. I also may take a trip out of Thailand for a short vacation and come back. Should I get a muti-entry permit or just one permit? Will I need a permit each time I come back to Thailand?

Here we go. Just another Russian bashing thread.

No, the Russians do it themselves by how the act and treat other people including Thais. They are the ruddest nationality I have ever been in contact with

Every time I read what Yingluck is up to she is CRYING. Grow a pair, what kind of leader is always a blithering crybaby, not a stature of stability

They are the worst things to happen to Thailand. They have invaded my condo building as renters and I can not sleep until they stop making noise all night and wake up when they start again in the morning. They control my sleep patterns so much I want to move out of the condo I own and rent. The other day I was driving my motorbike to Watchai market in Pattaya to get a few items for the monks and got to temple. I had my 9 month pregnant wife on the back. A car pulled out without looking and almost caused us to crash into a parked car while making a evasive move away from the reckless car. Then the car started to tailgate me down the 2nd road. I had enough and stopped my bike and yelled back what is their problem. A bull dyke Russian lady gets out and yells what my problem is. I told her her pulled out without yielding and and if I was not a good motorbike driver I would have crashed her reply was, "DID I HIT YOU?". I told her that is not the problem her reckless driving almost caused a crash and caused my wife a miscarriage. Again she yelled, "DID I HIT YOU?". If my wife was not there I would have decked the bitch. I have never hit a lady but she was no lady and her disrespect for driving safety and the usual F-everyone but me attitude I really wanted to. When I got to the temple the monk asked me why I looked so angry I asked him if he had a prayer to get all the Russians out of Thailand, He got a good laugh
