Surely the solution is simple.

The government should just ban earthquakes.

They usually ban or gaol anything/anyone that they perceive as a threat. 

They don't ban drunken drivers and speeding traffic, because they do very little to stop it.

Yeah I do not mate, I was not in the hotel room when the police arrived.

Was the bottle of kamagra not mentioned in the OP?

Sidegra.

 

Kamagra jelly's are the G-O though... wood for days !

The ex cricket player was mentioned in the OP as having a bottle of kamagra. Other posts are mentioning the Kamagra pill you can get in a pharmacy.

I have never heard of "a bottle of kamagra".

Some people are givers and some aren't, yet give in other ways besides gifts and money. Some find it hard to accept gifts because they were never treated well before and saw little in the way of affection. I've been in relationships where the woman never or rarely saw any good treatment, or were downright abused, and for them to accept different takes a long, long time, especially if they were mistreated by their own fathers. People can get used to anything eventually, living in their own prisons with no thoughts of how to escape. If she treats you well, that's your gift from her. You might like giving small gifts, and her keeping them , especially in the open, shows they means something to her. Everyone is different on how they relate to others, and it all starts watching their parents as children.

If my wife see's me working in the kitchen, ie preparing food, she always stops me then does it for me. Every so often when she arrives home she will bring me some kind of sweet that she knows that I like.

If you are good to them, they have their ways of satisfying you.

I only use Lazada as a last resort. Today I signed in, but was asked to go to my email address to prove it is me, that's fine it happens every so often, so I went to my email and had to click on "Yes it's Me" so I did, then it was confirmed I was signed in, I put an item in my cart then was asked again to check my email, then clicked again on "Yes it's Me"  so was told again I was signed in.

Repeat  for the third time, same again?? I didn't bother. Three times I was told I was signed in when I wasn't. Lazada??

 In what regulation (please quote) that only police of a certain rank can ask to see your passport?

If you cannot provide an official RTP website quote I will continue to state that it was a stupid post!

If you prove me wrong not only will I openly appologise but I am sure the whole AN community will thank you when they tell an RTP person of a certain rank that they cannot ask for my/their passport!!

I told you this debate is over, I do not debate with anyone who calls me stupid. Byeeeee.

I consider it stupid as it has nothing to do with a topic regarding carrying passports?

It is to do with carrying passports, read my post again. I said that only policemen above a certain rank can ask to see your passport. I am not saying that is what happens, I'm only saying that is the case. I am not debating this post with you any further. I do not mind anyone disagreeing with my posts, but don't call me stupid while hiding behind your keyboard.

You calling my post stupid?? How long have you lived in Thailand?? Don't you know that it is well known that some policemen pay for their ranks??

Like he said, make a few copies of the passport face page and visa page, trimmed,and carry in your wallet just in case anything happens or you're asked by police, which sometimes happens, especially at road stops.

You only time you need to show your passport if asked, is if the police officer is above a certain rank. Don't ask which one as there are that many, most bought and paid for.

What is the actual law on this ?

 

 

Never mind any rules or laws on this. Common sense tells you that you only take your passport with you if you are going to some place where it is required ie bank, immigration.

My understanding is that the restaurant business is one of the hardest to turn a profit - in any country. Very slim profit margins. Lowering the price might mean going out of business as so many others routinely do. 

The restaurants that put 17% in the small print for added taxes, on to the advertised price, I hope they do go out of business.

That is simply not true, it applies to to a lesser extent on Phuket and Samui and areas where the locals are jaded and deal with a lot of butthead foreigners (Pattaya), but for the most part I find the Thai people as delightful as ever, they're still very light-hearted, it's very easy to get them to smile and laugh, and they're great fun. 

 

People, please don't listen to this nonsense. The other aspect of this is that the Thai people are fairly intuitive so what you get back is often times a reflection of what you bring to the table. If you're grouchy and ornery and overly serious, they're not going to respond to you. But if you're lighthearted with a nice smile, kind-hearted and respectful, you get all of that back in abundance. Most Thai people are quite lovely. And I love to be around them, and I love it here. 

I agree with everything you have written here Mike, it's just a great pity about their road behaviour though.

Covid was definitely a pivotal event. Thailand as a whole still hasn't recovered from it.

That's true, there used to be four buses every day passing my village/small town to the city, about 50 Ks, before the Chinese Virus, now there is only one.

I have no issue with this... P'Thaksin was on the money back in his hey day.

I agree in principle, but it's far too easy to punish innocent people, so have to be 100% sure that they are guilty, ie people fall out, drugs get planted, police get called.

I know Manerrat is a reputable agent, is your experience recent? ie in the last week

No it was about 6 weeks ago, but there is a post from some else saying he dealt with them last week and everything was fine.

I was living in the hotel right next to Cheap Charlies and was told they do takeaways. I approached a waitress two nights in a row and was completely ignored by the same waitress.

I can understand her being busy but all it was required was, "please wait and I will attend to you" not just screwing her face at me and walking away.

Great work Thai Police! 

 

Five more criminals in the IDC awaiting deportation at their own or their embassy's expense.

Yes, I agree, great work by the Thai Police. Just a pity they cannot or won't do anything about the behaviour on the roads.
