Ed visa is 2000 Baht , you paid for lessons in school 

i would not have spent a minute there if it wasnt compulsory for visa,

and last year or two i didnt bother going,

but it was still 30k, plus the fookin visa run

Then again , if you were on overstay and you got caught , it would be quite probable that you would lose all your possessions in Thailand , which could be over that amount .

   How did you manage to spend nearly a 1000 Baht a week on visas ?

Vientiane and back = 2000 Baht , Tourist Visa 1000 Baht , extension 1900 Baht , thats 5000 Baht for three months , 20 000 Baht a year , even cheaper when you add in land border visa exempts into the equation 

ED visa = 30k, plus ~15k for the week when i do the run to laos/cambodia

Nah, just too <deleted> stupid to stay legal!

no, there is an economic incentive to skip it,

i have spent 40-50k a year for 14 years, so say 45 x 14 = 630.000 baht in visa cost alone before i had a single beer, and that is not counting all the endless hours of massage i need to reduce pain from the visa runs

" Poverty fueled partly by climate "

yeah rite, is there anywhere where this agenda isnt pushed ?

whats the point in having it ?

i would go for the cheapest option since its guaranteed to be a rust collector

Well, they noted that a man's DNA was on the T-shirt; so how do they know this was not the DNA of the attacker?  How is the theft investigation going?  If this were seriously investigated, perhaps they could locate the rapist.  Policing 101 everywhere else.

it was stated in that statement that that man was not connected, either

Too easy to blame, false evidence and false accusation need to be punished by law. She should be ban from thailand for the bad reputation she is spreading. 

agreed, but that would put the burden on thai police to prove she's lying through the teeth, that hold up in court,

so i think that is the reason they dropped out on ban

and toned it down to a 'not a single shred of evidence' for rape

What year and how many Kilometre is that PCX? The aftermarket body kit is not that expensive...

honest truth i didnt read carefully, i thought it was a forza,

45k is about what they cost a few years old 2nd hand, i've seen them from 30k.

aftermarket alterations does not impact price for me, i rather buy standard

i didnt see any video link

welp, i hate freezing and i hate starving too,

to further complicate things i also can not walk more than a few minutes a day, or even stand up, so i resort to DNP,

it sux ass to sweat like that, but it also sux ass to be fat

Neither did she apparently... wasn't it alleged that the attack took place on the beach?

 

Having followed this story, I have not read of surveillance footage being available (but could easily have missed that fact) which reputable news outlet or source stated this?

looks like i mistook it for another case of lies, see 2 posts above

i think youre confusing this with the Phangan story.?

ah, another case of lying  then ?

guess its all the rave to claim having been raped on a thai beach now, since they didnt get any IRL

Sorry, what? Are you saying they always had evidence she was lying so they threatened her with arrest and blacklisting. That didn't go down well publicly, so they went to the UK to have a quiet word in her ear that they have evidence so pack it in?

 

Wow! That's quite the yarn you've spun there.

no, not have a quiet word, but publicly ridicule her,

but someone decided to tone it down

in the final statement

20 minutes ago, rkidlad said:

Ah, and where is that evidence? Surely if they had evidence she was lying they would have shown the public. Would be mind numbingly stupid not to. 

that was the purpose of both the statement she would be banned and the purpose of going there, but eventually it looks like someone decided to tone down the incident.

evidence ? it has been reported they had surveillance camera all night long and not a mosquito made it into her room,

the place i stay in now is nearly the only place where the landlord didnt steal my deposit, that is the reason i keep coming back here in spite of shitty internet.

i have found the likelyhood of getting the deposit back increases a lot if its eye to eye rather than a request of bank account so they can give it back without being within striking range

morale of the story: dont lend money from loan sharks in thailand kids

I reject the term climate change denier/global warming denier. It is stupid term which needs to be retired. Everyone knows the climate changes. So no one is a denier. What we have are people who are skeptical and people whose minds are like soft clay which are easily impressed with anything coming from their acceptable channels. 

The real terms should be something like: Climate crisis skeptics and faithful globalist mind slaves.

agreed, and if anything, its the other way around,

the tin foil hat brigade thinks climate change is something unheard of until mankind started to fart en masse,

while the more sensible crowd look at records and see

climate has changed since before dawn of man

i checked out the Blackview P10000 Pro,

battery seem like it might be up to snuff,

and it seem to be more rugged than ulefone.

ulefone power 5 otoh has 1/3 more ram and a wireless charger,

and for sure will outlast anything else on the market on my #1 priority, -the sucker wont be dead if i want to use it or someone phone me.

it would be nice to say the least if it came in a ruggedized version

Those of us who are totally and absolutely legal and make sure we stick to the rules - why should we worry if he rounds up the drug dealers , overstayers , scammers etc.

Here are a couple of big battery phones you might also want to consider; the HomTom HT70 and the Blackview P10000 Pro which have a 10000 mAh and a 11000 mAh battery.  All three phones were released about the same time in March or April 2018.

 

The dimensions of the Ulefone are 80.2 x 169.4 x 15.8 vs 77 x 165 x 14.7 for the Blackview vs 77 x 165.5 x 14.5 for the HomTom.  The weight of the Ulefone is 330 grams vs 293 grams for the Blackview and 309 grams for the HomTom.

 

The HomTom is the least expensive with the weakest CPU and camera.  Tha Ulefone is the most expensive with the best rear camera and the same CPU as the Blackview.

 

I don't really get the point of lugging around a phone with a 10000 mAh battery when there are many phones with a 6000 mAh battery in a smaller, lighter body such as the Cubot Power which has a sleek 74.39 x 158.39 x 10.75 body, a 215 gram weight,  a 6000 mAh battery, and the same 6 inch screen.  The display area of the Cubot Power is 78.84 % vs 68.6 % for the Ulefone.

i'm unable to remember to charge the phone every_day,

and as a result i have no phone if i carry it.

it wasnt like this 20 years ago, 20 years ago a man could charge his phone once a week and that was the end of it

if he enforce the police do their duty and extend visa without

any notion of getting a free meal from the applicant,

under penalty of public testicle whipping,

i'm all for it

the one i'm eyeballing is ulefone power 5,

since the rest of the bunch is so useless i dont even bother carry the phone on me, its constantly on charge
