    I was in BKK in March, and before checking out of my hotel room to head to the airport I threw away the paket of cannabis gummies that I had purchased. Around 16 hours later a sniffer dog walked straight past me at Heathrow.

    Lower Sukhumvit was my farang ghetto from 1998-2018. Never got married, exited Thailand with quite a lot of money.

    Nakhon Nowhere, Wherethef---aburi!😁

    ...you only end up visiting such places with your Thai wifey! Not when you're still in the 'two week millionaire' phase.😁

    FB rules are the same in every country? It's the same computer making the same baffling decisions.

    I don't like Starmer, but if I'm honest, I'm no better or worse off than before. I just pay tax and still get very little in return, the same as under the Tories.

    Every other country in N Europe also has s--- weather for about half of the year, according to an Irish friend, Ireland even more so.

    I remember being in a bar around the corner from Soi Cowboy during Songkhran, and hearing a bargirl exclaim "Falang Boxing" in Soi Cowboy. (People getting drunk and throwing stuff at each other, a recipe for disaster).

    I have to disagree with that. Best not to get involved in stranger's problems, look/walk the other way, or risk becoming collateral damage. Nothing to do with me.

    I did see years ago that if the Thais deport you it must be to your home country. But of your own accord, anywhere. But maybe they're not consistent with it?

    Like many Aussies, he probably has Pommie jeans!😁

    I also heard that it must be your home country. As I mentioned previously, I also heard that the 20,000 Baht maximum fine reduces by 200 Baht for every day spent in immigration prison, so, 100 days in the monkey house before deportation.

    Thailand has a bit of a problem with law enforcement generally. Part of their culture maybe?

    Booze, drugs and tarts is a dangerous combination!😁 ...just add motorbikes and 'watersports' to the mix too.

    Some years ago it was stated that more Australians die per annum in Thailand than in any other foreign country.

    Back when Bangkok was known as The Venice of the East did it actually have a proper sewage system? Although I suppose the population would've been massively smaller in those days.

    Brings to mind people bathing in the Ganges river in India, and even drinking the water, horrifying!

    This guy's worth around $70 million.

    When I was there in March it's no longer there as it was. It's been broken up into smaller bars.

    My late, and very wealthy Swedish friend had the same Thai girlfriend for about 20 years. He said that the difference between her and a Thai lady was that Nah would get up early every morning to make his breakfast, whereas a Swedish lady would never (or be unlikely to) do that. Unlike in the West, Thai ladies haven't been raised to believe that they should be the same as men, so more 'traditional' roles of man and wife are more possible?

    I knew of 3 wealthy men who never married, during my 20 years living in Thailand. One of my old mates is worth $XX million. He had a child (whose now 16) with a lady in Canada, but never married her. He once told me that he sends her US$7,000 per month to 'keep' her and the kid. (The kid is looking at attending Harvard in the next few years).

    So, they're never going to deport you or free you from prison until the fine has been paid in full?
  23. Andrew65
    It reduces by a certain amount for every day that one spends in the immigration monkey-house.
  24. Andrew65
    I think that when your in immigration prison your fine defrays at a rate of 100 or 200 Baht per day, I think 200.

    Lost!? Never been stupid enough to leave it in the (unattended) car either!😕
