Good point.

The reason being that IDL's have always been so easily available at KSR, Lower Suky, Sleaze-by-the-Sea, and other places where low-life people congregate.

So true.
  On my annual trips here I would always get an IDL to go along with my Press Card and Student ID as a package deal.

   In those days my motto was "be prepared" - for whatever the Land of Smiles might throw at me next.

Ah, nothing more pleasurable than a quick 'in and out"... especially when it involves immigration.

Until recently the scene was crowded, disorganized and stressful. Now much better.

A noob who pays an agent for what he can so easily do himself brings to mind the old chestnut, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

"A fool and his money are soon parted is true enough.

   What has always puzzled me is how they got together in the first place.

True, but it might have shut those ignorant imbeciles up.

C'mon bro, you're being too harsh. 

My comment about Thais might have sounded that way too, but I love Thais... lived among them most of my adult life and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

 The Thai players should have responded by  mouthing the words:

'Srebrenica, Srebrenica, Serbian mass murderers' 

That would presume a knowledge of history that 99% of Thais seem to be blissfully ignorant of.

For the same reason that you decided to read an entire thread about someone making an ignorant, racist gesture.

Profound comment.

It says a lot about the psychology of those who are quick to take umbrage at little things like this.

Not entirely obvious to me what the point of getting blind drunk on the first date might be ...

 

Buyer's regret after only 30 minutes?

For sure...

Yes I know the situation and yes she was killed by a bullet. while helping other people. But do you have proof it was a sniper? On the picking order of a trained sniper the nurse will not be a priority.

You want "proof"?

   Why let the lack of it get in the way of a good narrative?

Doubt if this would have happened if they had been bonging instead of boozing.

Hear, hear!

   Toxic rotgut has caused a lot of problems among the chao-bahn.

   Anyone who has spent time in the countryside can see it clearly.

Old saying...A fool and his money soon do part !

So true.

   But I've often wondered how they were able to get together in the first place.

53,998 days is equal to nearly 148 years, and 25,853 days is over 70 years!

TIT... Anything is possible here.

Pssst!  I don't think they trust us.

    Maybe because so many of us have turned Thailand into "A sunny place for shady people."

   To paraphrase W.Somerset Maughan's great quip about Monaco.

Or maybe she’s canny enough to know the old Hollywood maxim “There is no such thing as bad publicity”.

Probably so.

   Just look at the reactions from the resident sages here.

   Not much to lose and a lot to gain.

Finally!

What took so long?

In any case I hope they have teeth ????

Teeth they probably have already.

   What they really need is cojones.
