  1. They will soon charge a fee to read the news as they did with their news channel on YouTube...
  2. You can't visit somebody in Thai jail unless it is a relative of yours and even than it's hard to get permission.
  3. While driving pass by Esan villages I saw the kids there were already playing Songkran yesterday the 7th!!!!
  4. The German Somphet sounds more Thai to me than 80 % of the "Thais" on the island (that are in fact Burmese)...
  5. Hello moderator! Is this news serious or is it an April's fools day news?
  6. They blame foreigners to not abide the law when in the meantime you rarely see thais making receipts at their businesses or of course employing myriads of Burmese and Cambodian workers without contracts. Yes let's put this migrant workers in jail, not the employers. Not to speak about traffic laws... Foreigners get stopped for routine checks when wearing helmets and seemingly look okay while Thai kids aged 12 pass by 4 on a Honda wave all without helmets (and no licence).
  7. I will not be surprised if the taxi apps are going to ask for advance payment or deposit payment in the near future before starting the pick up seeing how common and easy it is for people to cancel their rides.
  8. Moral of the story: Bring 3-4 times a year 9999 $ in cash
  9. Had to do the same in a few instances: - once a passenger was drunk and threatened to punch me while I was driving with no reason. I stopped the car and kicked him out - another time a customer said he will not pay when half way to his destination. Of course I told him to exit the car (when back at the starting point) It really isn't an easy job and people can be crazy. I know the reputation of the Phuket taxis but you always need to know the full story before judging.
  10. Marisa owns 3 hotels in Pattaya? I am curious if they allow a visit for the night by a Thai friend or not...
  11. Somchai will always drive the opposite direction if it saves time
  12. Advise: - no. 1 go there after lunch - no. 2 go there when it's raining (by car or taxi) - no. 3 make a visarun fly to Laos or Cambodia (roundtrip airfare not much different from extension price) - no. 4 go to immigration ban Chang instead if you are from outside the area as it is almost empty all the time
  13. Looking at the IQ map Cambodians must be between the most intelligent people on this world... ...you really have to be stupid to believe this...
  14. I went to visit a girl there few years back... very nice condo ????
  15. I could be wrong but as an Italian "delicious Macaroni cheese" by a Scottish chef doesn't really sound inviting to me...
  16. Always keep in mind guys that women are the gatekeepers of sex and men of marriage. Mostly women benefit of wedding. So my advice is: If she wants to get married than I am the one setting the rules and not her. Her family can't be not okay but just wait a few years until she is older because remember... The wall is still undefeated. And, actually a Thai girls family with only the passport she gets when married and the social benefits from that should pay us not the other way around. If she marries a Farang there shouldn't be sinsod, ever heard of a Thai paying it to the Farang brides parent?
  17. What's the reason of someone doing this? And while theatrically wearing black? Hahaha I think this was staged. Must be some Russian street artist hoping to get some bucks by taking pictures with the queuing thais...
  18. I am doing the evisa right now and after 10 days still haven't got it approved. Sent all needed documents but the next day got an email to resend the "roundtrip ticket FROM Italy". I am Italian and live next to the Austrian border so in my last 13 years I always flew from Innsbruck or Munich which are both nearby airports. Seems it is a problem now... Anyway they clearly asked for the roundtrip ticket.
  19. Good Thailand... Keep on with your job harassing tourists for small things if you want to stop them come... Wonder how many wrong fish land in Thai fishermen nets.
  20. I went to a massage in soi Buakow today and I got sexually assaulted too... What can I do now?
  21. The route of the problem the government needs to solve is probably the ridiculously cheap fares taxis in Bangkok can charge when they regularly use the meter. I understand we are in Thailand but a 200 - 300 baht for a 15 km ride is simply not justified. I like cheap things but for this one service I honestly think the price should be higher. What we all forget is we just ride one way but the cabs mostly have to return to their starting point (due to assigned taxi waiting spots), the gasoline, the buying of a car, the regular changing of tires, maintenance of the car, the risk and responsibility a driver has if he incures in an accident with a customer inside and last the price of a regular license to do the job - which Bolt doesn't have).
  22. Exactly! I think it is more a xenophobic thing... This last government really pushed the "prathet Kong Rao" agenda of we Thais against all the others and COVID was perfect for this. Now Thai officials are still pushing for mask use (see at immigration or land transport offices) just to make Thais different so they can feel even more disappointed that the bad foreigners are not using them.
