Hello buddy ... you can join this awesome community, but only you if swear you will never ever say anything bad about Thailand.

There are many visa options. ........

1. Tourist visas , single or multiple entry

2. Non Immigrant "O" visa in many categories

3. Non immigrant "B" visas for those intending to work or undertake business.

4. Ed visas for those who intend to study.

5 O/A long stay visas for those aged 50+

6 The Thai Elite visa which is valid for 5+ years .

There is no shortage of choice .....................

Yeah well if tourist would not work anymore, I'd start "working" at my own company. Would just need to decide if I'd be the director or...i dunno...the tea boy. Although it has to be a job Thais can't do apparently.

Can Thai people serve tea?

In the end we will have to find a job, but instead of getting salary we will pay our employer that we can work for him.

If you know what I mean ... no serving tea, but tea money.

This new multiple entry tourist visa is plain nonsense.

BTW

Hey Buddy, I'm funny and sarcastic guy in this forum.

So let's remind ourselves that

Which countries passport do you hold ?

An Eastern European country not on that list that up until now got a 60 day chop.

Same here ...

Eastern Europeans are apparently not worthy of this elite club according Thai government

If this is true, then my stay in Thailand will be significantly harder ...

When I was looking for some information about this I found that there are no more triple entry visa available in my home country, but only

multiple entry visa for 6 months for 150 euros, and now this ...

What the hell is going on?

I stay here on tourist visa because I don't have any other option ...

And now I will have to travel to freaking Kuala Lumpur every 2 months or what?

It's just getting better and better ...

Someone from police needs 2000 THB nothing else ...

Something similar happened to me this summer:

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/847584-tourist-visa-extension-madness/#entry9723508

What I miss the most is dairy. It's expensive and quality is pretty low, supply almost none.

I also miss hazel nuts, wall nuts, plums, pears, apples, some bakery stuff, flour(whole spelt, rye ...), olive oil ...

A bit pricy or hard to find in a small city.

Some western food, goods in shops, might seem a bit expensive here, especially for europeans, because in EU foodstuff is massively subsidized.

For example(central and eastern Europe)

1L of whole milk: 18-20 THB

curd, 250g: 22 THB

1kg gouda cheese, 48%: 145 THB

On the other hand meat and sea food is cheaper.

Key to happiness in Thailand is well equipped kitchen.

This is not an attack on democracy, it is an attack and declaration of war on western civilization, culture and values. Governments have lost their last shreds of credibility by failing in their mandate to protect their citizens.

What can you expect from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch ...'s puppies, pretty much nothing

There was no real leader in european politics for decades.

On the other hand, in crises are born leaders sometimes - Churchill

Now we have government from wonderland, they are trying to save the whole world ...

I wonder, will this now become a Le Pen forum?

Incompetence of standard political parties, lack of leadership and realistic visions is only helping extremist like Le Pen ...

That's the real danger ...

This is not the last time we see something like this ... sadly.

I'm avoiding western Europe, including Germany and Austria since summer 2014 ...

Rest in peace to all the victims.

OP, don't ever keep someone's wife in your home for a couple of days. That man is threatening you because you kept his wife in your home without his concern. If you had to keep her in your home, the right thing that you would have done was to contact the man and find out what the problem was that his wife left to your home. You didn't do this and kept her in your home for a couple of days, dragging yourself into her problem with her husband. Tomorrow the man will accuse you of giving his wife bad doctrine to leave him. If not, why were you keeping her in your home when she is not your wife? Her sister is you girlfriend but that does not allow you to house her when she has problems with her husband. Your life is in eminent danger. You heard the story from her and took it for the gospel truth which according to me is wrong. The man is this, the man is that, let her do the right thing by contacting the Police, her parents, her in laws, social welfare, etc to look for a solution. If a divorce then good and fine. Not coming to stay in your home and hiding. She doesn't want the man, let her use the right channel to divorce him. Between a man and a woman, keep your mouth shut and keep your distance. Tomorrow that woman will go back to that man and will be the first person to tell him that you were encouraging her not to go back to him again. Now that your life is in danger, will you go into hiding too? You look for this problem yourself by keeping someone's wife in your home without contacting the man to find out what was wrong. Now contact the Police to protect yourself.

You nailed it.

I agree - that is how the guy will reason in this situation.

You are easy bait. A drunk / crazy guy doesnt want to hurt his wife or her sister, but if you are involved you will be easily blamed and attacked for any number of reason.

If says he wants to kill someone, he should be taken seriously.

I would not insert myself in this situation.

I see your point, but it's too late now ...

She came here from BKK, 110 km to Sriracha, 22:00 what should I do? Tell her go away ...

Funny is that many times I help this guy lend him some money, pay buffet and now what?

Everything is forgotten.

Lending money to a poor guy isnt helping............hahaha. Poor boy will lose face when others find out he cannot pay you back. Only solution in his mind is kill you silly azz.

I'm 25 years old, live 10 000 km from home and 50 years old guy ask money from me. What a shame?

And when you ask why don't you borrow from your family, he say they want back 20% more. What kind of family is that?

At least he doesn't owe me anything ...

Some people don't even hesitate to use their children as shield ... emotional blackmail all day

I lost quite sone money to cancer scum few years ago ... for my defense I was naive fella back then

Since that I'm extremely careful ... apparently still not enough.

So, guys always be ready, exit strategy AKA running shoes always needs to be prepared in your backyard.

You never know what will happen in trash-hooker land tomorrow.

Thanks for all the comments.

I really appreciate it.

Having a partner from the familybackground, as you mentioned before, you are irrelevant....only usefull...if you allow that.

Get out mate and find a person from a better upbringing and background.

You are worried now but they dont care....

No one choose parents.

There are thousands and thousands problematic people everywhere ...

General rule is that in poor family will be more problems.

Prostitution, alcoholism, violence and gambling ... you can find it very easily in Thailand.

Thanks for all comments, I'm considering go to police and I will definitely take some holiday.

Time solves everything, as Thais keep saying all the time.

Agree that drunk Thai moron can be very dangerous.

You have to solve this the Thai way - your girlfriend has to make the family solve the problem. Insist on it. Quietly and calmly insist on it.

My girlfriend family, they can't take care about themselves ...

First reaction of old mama back in Isaan was where is Toyta car, did you leave with car?

She don't care about happiness of her daughter at all ... money, lotus flowers and alcohol.

Guys parents are dead, he is 52 years old.

Family problem is always my problem, sadly.

I wasn't so lucky with my Thai relatives as other members

He sounds like a heavy drinker, and because of that...it will only be a matter of time until he causes trouble. His size won't matter much, as he will probably arm himself with some weaponry.

Best thing for his wife would be to go a "safer" place, with a friend or relative. Once he knows that she is out of the area (and not with you, or your wife), then he would have no reason to threaten you.

I would have your wife contact some kind of social services (if they exist), to visit the man...and explain that his wife is no longer in the area. By all means....do not be the bearer of bad news, and keep your wife from doing that as well. You should help the lady, only very discretely....as the man is obviously out of his mind.

They used to live in Nong Khaem, I stay in Sriracha, he knows she is not here, but he also knows that I know where she is hidding.

That's why he is doing this.

Hello

Few weeks ago sister of my girlfriend ran away from her husband and show up in my apartment with her little son.

She stayed couple days and now she is hidding in Krungthep. She don't want to be with him anymore.

The problem is that her former husband is more and more aggressive.

Five days after the incident, when he realised that she will not come back this time, he showed up drunken, looking for her asking where is she and

shouting that he will kill her ... she was already gone. Now he is calling and sending SMS day and night that if we don't tell him where she is

he will kill us all ...

I mean, I've been in all kind of scum in this <deleted> country, but no one threaten to me like this before.

What do you think I should do? My grilfriend wants to move, which I don't want.

Thais can be extremly aggressive, on the other hand the guy has 50 kg, I would tear him in half ... so I'm just waiting if he shows up.

Would appreciate any advice

Falang lich will pay ...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft.

It seems like cortana stopped working. Ctl+Shift+Esc in background processes you should see sth called cortana. If not, start it again or restart PC.

Hope it helps.

Good luck

I was working here to bring turnkey dialysis offices to Thailand for rural areas.....The figures for diabetes here were mind blowing. This was twenty years ago......

NickJ, as a type 2 on an Insulin Pump, I also had thoughts and tried to get a programme going to increase awareness of diabetes, I found two main problems.

1. Thais think it is ok that they are like they are 'cos God them like that,

And the cost of treating Diabetes in Thailand is <deleted>' expensive.

Yes Thais can't learn, they have to burn their loved ones or themselves first, only then see the problem.I keep trying in my small way

Their common answer is it thai way.

There i

Thai people are not stupid like you portray, but as with everyone they need to be educated at an early age, and by Teachers who are dedicated and determined (squared) to get the point across. I have a friend here in Bangkok with type 2, he can only afford meds 3 weeks out of 4, I've seen him go in to coma's during his med free times... What can I do? Nothing, he still eats too much and drinks sugar like there's no tomorrow, I just know he'll be floating down the Chao Phraya anytime now.. Sorry. but legislation won't do it, determined and well aimed education will.

Yes, Thai people are not stupid, but we all know they don't do anything unless something bad happen.

It's not only junk food. It's pretty much everything electricity, traffic you can go on and on ...

Health is a precious gift and it's way too easy to lose it.

When adults don't care it's their choice, but children and kids need good example, responsible parents and well balanced education system.

Too many times I've seen parents sitting back home watching ghost-like yolo people in TV while their children wander at night drunken or spreading legs just across the street ... and no care.

Someone posted that sugar consumption in the West far exceeds that of Thailand.

I dare to say that for central and eastern part of EU it not true, definitely not.

It's really extreme here ...

It has been a couple years since there's sugar almost in every meal and drink in Thailand.

I don't even remember when was the last time I was in restaurant and there was not sugar on the table.

Thais use it heavily nowdays, for cooking and as seasoning too.

Junk food and 'shortcuts' are invading Thai cuisine more and more, it's not only sugar ...

One day we wake up morning and Thai national food will be rice with red sauce, called ketchup.

If you want to drink real coffee you will have to prepare it by yourself.

There are no more scenic beaches in Thailand. Everywhere is trash, freaking dogs, dirty water and expensive service.

Maybe you will find what are you looking for on koh phangan, koh phi phi or well known mafia island koh chang, but stay on official tourist sites, otherwise it's not better than Phuket

On the other hand junta is trying to bring back the lost fame. Hookers and all types of scummers has disappeared from the most popular tourist places, situation is better than, let's say 2 years ago, but compared to other popular resorts closer to Europe or USA, Thailand is way below average.

This country is well-worn and hackneyed, absolutely nothing to see here anymore, even though the potential is huge.

Keng leng chip hai.

I could be showing my ignorance here but i think "chip hai" is a mildly strong word. sort of like "bloody strong"

This is too much ...

It's supposed to be for gym environment not for thangan population after sunset

Is it possible to translate 'strong as &lt;deleted&gt;' to Thai language? Also it would be great if it's vulgar just a little bit, I want to have it on T-shirt ...

Context: weight lifting/powerlifting

Thanks a lot
