The gentleman best forget this woman and her family. The dowry is just the beginning. He will be paying for every little " emergency " for the rest of his life. The fact that the fiance is fine with this says it all.

The same is true in Pattaya these days except the foreigners are Indian. Tens of thousands are there, with their own clubs and massage parlors. TAT might want to take these things into account when offering super special promotions to a select few countries.

Pattaya News must not have any kids. Under age teens are ALWAYS pushing the envelope.

The authorities behind this scam never consider the fact that a LOT of foreignrs have lived here 10-15- 20 years and raised Thai families ( including the grand- parents, of course ). But they still must pay the foreigner fees. I don't tip any more. Not so sweet revenge.

Pita did his country a great disservice by even running for office, knowing he was unqualified. And even if he did NOT know, that fact alone shows him as incompetent.

If you don't want to pay the price...Don't do the Crime. It's THAT simple.

Most people who hate Nate are probably envious of his Thai Language skills. As for the police, the ONLY time you see any of them in numbers is when they provide road assistance for a VIP motorcade., or at a Checkpoint , where they NEVER check for working tail lights.

Let's not forget that at 22...we know NOTHING of what Life has in store for us.

The headlines say: Russian Tourist shot. Then later, the Russian owned a restaurant in Thailand. Obviously there are dots that need to be connected here. Was he laundering money through his restaurant ? He was obviously on someone's " Wanted " list.

BKK 6060 is right on the money. But we see from history how things transpired here in the early 40's. Having said that, tens of thousands of Chinese currently moving to Thailand will NOT want to go back to live under an Authoritarian regime again, neither will most educated Thais.

JohnnyBangkok is so out of touch. It's China spreading its sphere of influence across SE Asia as well as Africa. It's Russia who invaded Ukraine and is supplying planes, helicopters and guns to the tatmadaw in Myanmar to butcher their own people with.

But of course. With China licking its chops in ousting Democracy from Myanmar, Thailand will be the next domino, although that may take some' time. Any attempt to help the Resistance in Myanmar will not sit well with them.

Reading BBC today and the HUGE Mafia bust in Europe with ties to the Chinese mafia is enough to give one pause. It's easier to bribe Thai police than Chinese police, one would assume. Thus the extra vigilance here in LOS.

Rooster can't handle face masks so he wants the entire Thai population to ditch it. It hampers social interaction, he says. You mean to say, he interacts with EVERYONE who doesn't wear a face mask in Pre Covid days ? C'mon dude, stay maskless in your own lane, but let those who wish to safeguard their health ( from Covid or bad AQ ) be allowed to do so.

The recent news by thai immigration officials certainly did not help matters. 116 arrested so far ??

Exactly ! Why isn't the Swiss man named and picture id attached ?

To Chelseafan....of course the Swede should be paraded around. He was wilfully breaking the law and would have continued to do so except that he was caught. No sympathy.

He is supporting a Thai woman ( and or family ) most likely. Leave him and let him sink or swim on his own here.

Would any reasonable Insurance Company cover foreigners riding motorcycles in SE Asia , Let alone ones that do not ride them at home ?

Perhaps the Pole is a Sugar Daddy that the wife doesn't want to lose. More interesting is, how long has he been in Thailand and on what kind of Visa to allow him to get married so fast?

No one is looking into the other 5 Koreans that were at the station ? You can bet they have stories to tell as well.

Living with a Thai lady in Holland while online with another in Thailand . Karma can be expensive, Peter.

Why doesn't Pasuth address the double pricing scam here in LOS ? I have never seen that scam in Europe, USA, Canada , Austrailia, Japan etc. directed at Thai tourists.

Amazing how fast they caught this guy - a matter of weeks. But the RED BULL HEIR.....after 10 years, still Zero.

ANYONE NOT having been vaccinated by now is a moron and should NOT be traveling to foreign countries.
