Yawn.
The South Koreans must be getting so tired of the tedious noise coming out of King Jong Eun's obese face. These empty boasts and threats have become a monthly non-event.

Most Thai girls aren't experienced drinkers. One glass of beer or whatever she fancies, and she'll sink in your arms. "I feel dizzy and weak, please take me home with you" is the regular quote: it's worked for me time and again, even with girls from strict families.

Nose picking is one of the great underrated pleasures of mankind, ranking only behind masturbation and sneezing.
My daily morning ritual is a cup of coffee in one hand, a good book on my lap and my other hand blissfully excavating my nostrils.

He's likely bribed a few people to slip back into the country incognito, back livin' the high life again.
Whatever happened to the Honda girl (killed/injured a van full of people whilst texting) and the Mercedes rich kid (lost his temper and ploughed into passengers waiting at a bus stop) ?

I've seen soi dogs with better hair than him.
It's a teacher's job to teach, a student's job to learn. Policing hairstyles is part of the drab uniformity in this paternalistic culture which has dragged Thailand down to shameful last place in Asia's education rankings.

You're thinking like a westerner.
The same western travel industry expert thinking that contemplates charging for everything from checking/carry-on baggage to possibly being allowed to pee while in flight?? That would be the same western economic and financial expertise that engineered the recent collapse of the world economy, high unemployment and massive printing of fiat currencies to save the banking industry, would it?
"You're thinking like a westerner."
How insulting.
Please stay on topic, will you?
With tourists getting robbed and assaulted in the Land of Smiles with increasing regularity, 500 Baht might still not be enough to insure us against harm. How about a 24-hour police escort for every tourist? Like a North Korean minder, but armed with a gun ...and a motorbike to ferry us around.

The Bundy residence in "Married With Children" had the toilet next to the front door.
Each episode featured daddy Al Bundy flushing the toilet loudly and emerging with a constipated face to huge applause. Crappy feng shui (literally) didn't seem to harm the Bundys.

She is punk? ..... seriously?

In his first video earlier this year, the guy seemed absolutely horrified by those women and avoided any contact with them. Here, you can see him gradually warming to the girls, even looking at them a couple of times. Perhaps his sexual preferences lie elsewhere, but those girls might eventually cure him.
Much better with the sound turned off.

Thailand's judges are a sick joke.

A glance at DeVere's rather dodgy-looking website shows that they're still active in Thailand. Must have high-level protection.
Elsewhere on the internet, you can google a long list of overly-effusive praise from DeVere's current and former staff about the firm.
-
Incidentally, does anyone know whether deVere Group are still up to their old tricks in Bangkok? Or have the police finally shut them down?
I received a number of cold calls from a smooth talker earlier this year. That slippery guy wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Direct from London, a tribute to the 70s" in tiny print.
Showing the original members on the poster is grossly misleading. There are going to be some disappointed fans in the audience, and they forked out 1200 Bt for this travesty.

Education systems worldwide are increasingly treated as job training schemes. They emphasize science, maths, engineering and accounting in order for kids to sit in offices, keep the wheels of the economy turning and grab as much cash as they can before their bodies wear out. Tying them down with mortgages and student loans will keep them in line, under the thumb of their masters.
Studying an open-minded, liberal arts degree and questioning the establishment are discouraged. Mobile apps and games help to distract and tame today's youth.

Too many knee-jerk, negative assumptions are made here: that overstayers are criminals, that they scam other farangs, that they're too lazy to work.
Quit jumping to conclusions. If Thailand welcomes them back after paying their fine, then it shouldn't be a problem for any of us. What they do for a living is none of our business.

Awful that people are welcomed as guests to stay in this country and then spend their days feeling extremely bitter and hating on the Thais 24/7.

Did I hear John McCain say yesterday that the general found the US a honorable enemy? If that is the case he must have forgotten his hearing aid, how can a Vietnamese general speak about a honorable enemy that used Agent Orange and Napalm?
If you had ever spent time in the military you might be able to understand.
... understand the joys of Agent Orange and napalm?
The people of Vietnam and Laos are eternally grateful to the honorable US military.

A hero and inspiration to many.
President Kennedy's Best and Brightest never understood that Vietnam, having struggled against Chinese subjugation for eight centuries, would never submit to becoming a Chinese domino or ally. The US founding fathers and declaration of independence were Ho Chi Minh's inspiration towards self-rule.

And I thought that national parks were set up to protect fish and other wildlife.

Should the onward ticket be dated for 60 days later, matching the duration of your visa? In that case getting a 30-day extension at Immigration means also having to pay the fee to postpone your flight by 30 days. Or can the onward ticket be 90 days later?
Is Thailand a suitable place to bring up a child?

When she was 9, I moved my half-Thai daughter to the Netherlands to stay with her grandparents for the same reason as the OP. In her first 9 years she picked up the gentleness and carefree ways of Thai culture, but the time had come to expose her to a more ambitious and honest culture. Now she studies in a bilingual Dutch-English school, a challenging education that'll bring out the best in her.
Away from the corrupt and backward Thai education system with its daily rituals of patriotist nonsense and rote learning, your kids will thrive.
