With faces that deep I won't be planning a visit to these islands.

Better than a shallow face and heart!

 

I have been there and it is nice and the people are real Thai folks that live off the land. There used to be a boat that took you to a Hawaiian resort and it disappeared, There are a few villages on the way that make those cool baskets-brooms and purses too.

That Vernon is venom I think, his disrespectful behavior to My Musk was stupid and his ego is too big for his britches, that said is he a US citizen and why US courts? I think Tesla is way more important then a 15 seconds of fame idiot!

It happens where the major population is Catholic, and much is never reported and is hidden! So who knows where it happens the most.

Coming from a nations immigration nightmare, why doesn't she keep her nose out of others business, the fat lump o shet!

Germans, Russians Netted In This Week’s ‘X-Ray’ Foreigner Raids

By Jintamas Saksornchai, Staff Reporter

 

Maj. Gen. Surachet ‘Big Joke’ Hakpan, standing in brown, addresses a group of foreign detainees outside the Montien Hotel in Bangkok’s Bang Rak district.

 

BANGKOK — More than 100 foreigners were arrested Thursday night in yet another raid targeting schools, hotels and restaurants nationwide.

 

The latest round of the tourist police’s weekly operation saw 110 foreigners rounded up from 83 locations across the country for allegedly overstaying their visas, entering the country illegally or committing drug-related crimes.

USA immigration is Big Joke. Here it is a great safeguard for all the legal folks and citizens alike!! 

Yeah, good for the locals to help out. America does nothing for it's citizens, but if an Illegal they reward the hell out of you! 25 million and counting!!

Looks like good place to slowly die... a long way from anywhere. Hope you have at least one good hobby if retired.

Beats quickly dying in the city! Who doesn't have many hobbies after exiting the workforce?? Start living and quit worrying about death.

Just forgot to mention about the border run. There are two options. Either Hat Lek or Poipet. I personaly prefer Hat Lek because it is not too busy.

Hat lek is in Trat province and Poipot is in Sa Kaeo, why are you going there, as Ban Laem is way way closer

Edit: Just noticed that gomangosteen beat me to it by a Mile

Thailand is going to lose what tourism they have left if they start demandig fingerprints from foreigners entering the country. I know in many countries it is a violation of rights to take fingerprints unless accused of a crime and many people will feel violated if it is demanded here.

Thailand better find a new source to get foreign dollars to be spent here

Yeah, those that have something to hide will be very violated, from their own violations. I think they should get DNA too and stop the criminals from coming here to do their crimes.

I disagree with this proposed law. It's really simple... If you don't work you don't eat. If you work for someone, then your only going to have what they are willing to pay you. So do it or go hungry.

There are no free rides in life.

Local Douche would be a more truthful name!

From Bang Bao to White sands, it is mad taxi time, watch out.

Those who dislike the soi dogs, haven't been alerted to the serpents by them. One dog we have is a natural born snake killer. Yes we have had the banded kraits on several occasions. Keep the frogs and rodents out and the snakes won't bother you.

Time for the baht busses.

Turtles and fish that eat the jellyfish are over-fished and die from eating the plastic bags idiots throw in the sea. Warmer waters and lack of predators, time for some jelly fish recipes and overfish them like everything else. .

 They were taught to take off only. Landing was not an option.

 

You have to drain the pool once a year. The stabilizer keeps the chlorine from being dissipated by the sun. I use small amounts of chlorine and use an ozone machine to go into the homemade venturi that adds air bubbles to the return water. I also have soda ash to keep the ph high and towards alkaline, purple. Much less bacteria in the alkaline and much less chlorine is needed. I use stone aerators with a small compressor to introduce oxygen to the water. The pool smells fresh and clean.

Don't you see that the Thai's are trying to keep the illegal worker out, and rightfully so. Look what cheap labor and illegal people have done to the USA. If you have your papers, you have nothing to worry or gripe about. I personally know of two undesirables who have been booted out.

Just print more money, give as perks and all the political crooks are happy.

Is that the famous Thai smile I see on the guy making the face palm on the left ?

I picked up on that too. A kinda cat eating shit grin, or a shagrin?

These reports seem the same as always.

They raise more questions than they answer.

But it just seems to be the way here.

I ask my wife a few questions, simple ones on the bits and pieces that I didn't catch with my limited Thai.

The normal straight forward person would ask these questions in a given situation but there is just no answer.

If I persist I am bad. Yes maybe its just my wife but the news items are the same.

Why does the news not say that the official was asked but said no comment? At least we may then be able to have some respect for their intelligence.

Life goes on

My wife too, is no Sherlock Holmes, but she is very blissful. Ignorance is bliss they say. She gets in a state of suspended animation on some very core questions. Translation not explainable.

Now she is into Facebook and needs help with English spelling and I turn into the zombie.

Not being a welfare state helps. And not having so many credit cards that are rampant in the west, helps people live within their means. Children are still the IRA's here for the old people.
