Stick a fork in him, he's done. Going away for a long time.

Going by the facebook screenshots, looks like it was switched to Taxi which gives estimated fares but still not sure why it was so far off the estimated 300-400. I use Bolt all the time and never choose Taxi and the fare is always what it says it will be before confirming the trip.

It's in the article. "He did not show up today because he probably found out the teenager had filed a complaint against him."

In my experience, there isn't really a proper prescription system in place in Thailand. It's either available at a pharmacy without a prescription or it's hospital pharmacies only after seeing a doctor (benzos, opiates etc..). Of course, there are pharmacies that will illegally sell you medicines that are supposed to only be available at hospitals like benzos and opiates.

No chance that they'll accept that but can't blame him for trying it on.

Mr. Eakkaluck is outta luck.

Yeah it's reclaimable if you want to go through the hassle.

The hospital confirmed it if you read the article.

The article says the hotel offered up to 100k baht refund for any medical expenses that can be proved with a receipt. No compensation at all for almost dying by electrocution which has unfortunately happened to tourists in hotel pools before.

On the bright side, her son might be born with super powers now.

There are multiple ways. When you log into most websites, many details are shown to the administrators that can give it away like timezone, the IP being used currently associated to a VPN company etc..

I had to do the same when I used an agent for my one year Elite Visa extension. Had to go all the way to immigration just to take a photo in front of it and then went right back to my condo without stepping foot inside immigration.

Bangkok Bank is good. I've heard that as long as you have over 30 days remaining on your permission to stay, you can open an account. That said, some branches seem to have their own rules and either might refuse or ask you to purchase expensive insurance first. If you run into issues like this, there are agents available who can help, for a fee of course. TikTok services, Mot's services, VIP VISA and I'm sure many others. There also have been crackdowns lately due to many accounts being used for illicit purposes. Wise works just fine transferring to Bangkok Bank, use it all the time. Good luck!

Lock her up for 30 years and deport her even though she's Thai for this horrendous crime. Great job by the Phuket police.

"miscalculated", yes of course.

As I understood it, you could no longer hold a balance or link a Thai bank account if you are not Thai but could still make payments with a credit card. I just use my Canadian PayPal account in Thailand now so my knowledge on Thai PayPal accounts for non-Thais could be outdated.

I've been living in Thailand since 2019 and have been using my Canadian PayPal the whole time without being geoblocked. Not using any VPN/VPS/Proxy etc.. either.

No need to resort to violence. If Thai girlfriend wants him out and she solely owns the property, try the police. Maybe police can be incentivized somehow to remove him. But again, unless it's in self defense, don't touch him. Even in self defense, it's risky for you for the reasons others have said.

It is a problem as VPNs can be easily detected and most money making sites will ban you for using one.

If you've ever used reddit, try the subreddits /r/beermoney or /r/workonline Plenty of ideas there but most are for people residing in US/UK/CA/AU. Any job that requires you to pay anything upfront is a scam so you're correct in being wary of those. Without any specialized skills and not being able to speak, even $5 an hour will be difficult as you will be competing with people who are willing to work for even less than that.

Doesn't matter which passport you use, they will see your previous entry on the computer even if you change passports and you'll get 30 days visa exempt on either one. As others have said, you can extend visa exempt 30 day entries for another 30 days at your closest immigration office. You said you are staying with a friend, they are required by law to report your stay to immigration via a TM30 within 24 hours and it's common these days to be asked for proof of the TM30 being done when going to do any extensions.

What country's passport will you be entering Thailand with? With visa exempt, you get a new 30-90 days each entry depending on the passport you hold. Visa on arrival is different.

I give what I get. Many Bolt drivers I've had are not what I would consider polite so if it's rude for me to just exit the vehicle at my destination, knowing the fare is paid, I can happily accept that.

Who cares what they know. At the destination, they see the fare is paid, no need to stick around and see if they are angry, hungry, horny, you can just get off the bike and go.

Fare is paid, just get off the bike and walk. Let them be angry if they want.
