Did you go to a male IO or female IO at BKK? Lots of people advise avoiding female IOs.

A load of BS. I know loads of Lao & Cambodian people doing visa runs every 30 days to stay here for many years already, and continue to do so without any hassles. Not once have they been questioned or had any issues whatsoever. There are a number of visa run companies who are doing them for those nationalities.

That's probably exactly why you had issues. You're over the age of 50 and really should be on a retirement visa. Leave the METV for the younger folks who aren't able to get a retirement visa due to age discrimination of the Thai government. Lots of younger folks could easily do a 800k in the bank while there are lots of old folks doing the dodgy dodgy agent & immigration bribes because they can't do a 800k in the bank qualification.

Same with nearly all other prostitutes. As far as you give them money, most of them will say you are handsum man, even if you are an old, ugly, super obese, hairy, bald, old man.

No, because that shiit stinks badly. And the juristic office staff agrees with it that smoking weed on the balconies or in rooms "is very bad", to quote their words.

Would be great if they banned all smoking or made a room for all the smokers to smoke only to enjoy their ways. That being said, weed/marijuana/ganja really stinks so badly and gives an instant headache when it comes into your room.

Don't keep your money in Thailand. Keep only a tiny bit in a Thai bank account for living expenses. ***Inflammatory comment removed by Moderator.

I see tons of super obese fat farangs with swollen feet from diabetes all over Pattaya all the time, who always look like a hell of a mess. Ladyboys, they were probably the culprits if true. Why would anyone in their right mind come anywhere near those things?

They should've banned that from the 1st Jan 2024, not the end of the years. Too many waankers smoking that shiit in the condo balconies in Pattaya in my building, and that shiit blows everywhere into my room and stinks up my room. Good thing though is the juristic office doesn't stand for that shiit and report those waankers and they get fined. Too many Air BnB type waankers think they can do whatever they want without respect to others in the building.

Yet the title of the post states the "extension was completed in minutes" 😄😄

Didn't the cops own Swing? They raided their own establishment?

Weather was absolutely beautiful this morning all the way until 11:30am, also quite cloudy. Afternoon was very breezy and right now at 3:30pm, weather is still nice using just a fan in my room. Weather is exactly the same as it usually is every other day.

Seems like a lot of people are trying to search for Twitter, it seems. Never knew Twitter, now called X, was so popular here.

Where do you get long-term rentals for 1,200/month? What type of bike? Are we talking about a very old beat-up Honda click 125cc or Honda Scoopy?

Those EV cars are firetraps.

That's why the OP and his other EV lovers should offer to foot the bill for an EV charhing station in the condo. I'm wondering if he offered to pay for it?

Did you and/or other owners try to offer to pay for the installation of an EV charging station at your condo? If not, that would be the smart option.

Talking about soi Buakhao and surrounding areas, lots of waankers crossing the road without looking without a care in the world. So many times these waankers have nearly gotten run over by motorbikes or cars because of their selfish idiotic ways. Get rid of those trash who don't bother looking before crossing. Ban them from coming to Thailand.

Obviously someone has been stabbed while sitting on the sofa. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Yes, too man old fart expats I see when I walk around who look grubby and who don't give a care in the world. Funny thing is, it's always the caucasian white dudes that are those types. Full of those types everywhere in the Pattaya/Jomtien area. I've yet to see asian grubby expats, they are usually clean and don't look like slobs. Also get rid of those dodgy dodgy agent bribing types who don't have the money to qualify for a retirement visa too. Time for Thailand to do a purge.

Why doesn't the Thai embassies & consulates just accept payment in Thai baht instead of only the local currency? The local currency they charge is always inflated and in their favour to charge us just that extra bit more.

Did you get that intel from your "Thai contractor" friend? That "Thai contractor" is asking the navy boys a lot of questions. Why does he have such an interest in the navy boys and what they are doing here instead of just focusing on his job working at the ports?

The marines wanted to show how tough they were with the bouncers. Both marines & bouncers like to get in fist fights. Both have more muscle than brain power, but the bouncers have the upper hand here on their own turf.

Lucky for them. In covert undercover gear. So hopefully their wifes & gfs won't see photos of them having a good time out and about.

You seem to know a lot about what's happening with the navy boys. Do you have some secret crush on hot navy boys and are stalking their every move since their arrival?
