  1. Hey guys just wondering if anyone out there could help with a massive problem

     

    I am a New Zealander with a NZ passport and several months ago i tried to enter Australia to live and work

     

    This is normally very straight forward for a New Zealander to do on arrival in the country unless you have criminal convictions ( more than 12 months jail )

     

    I was refused entry and sent back to where i came from witch was Bangkok where i had been holidaying

     

    then Bangkok refused entry into the kingdom and sent me back to my home country.

     

    I have now found out through an immigration contact of a friend that i am blacklisted and can not re enter Thailand again.  Posted Image

     

    I have entered Thailand dozens of times over the last 5 or more years and have never done anything wrong apart from a one day accidental overstay.

     

    I even emailed the Royal Thai Embassy many years ago asking them if i could enter the Kingdom with my criminal past 

     

    witch they said this is not a problem and and i could travel freely.Posted Image

     

    When i was deported from Australia and Bangkok, all the flights were paid by myself

     

    The crimes i commited were around 20 years ago now and had nothing to do with drugs, murder, voiolence or rape.

     

    Is there any way i can be removed from this blacklist...?

     

    Sounds like i might be pretty much stuffed but any advice would be very greatfull.

     

    I have been liviing in Pattaya now for over 5 years now and have been with the same girl just as long Posted Image  

    Being blacklisted from Thailand or from any other country for that matter is a serious thing. That means, getting off that list is extremely difficult and often impossible unless you know the right people in the right places.

    Personally I have never had to deal with such problems but If you are curious how it works here it is: once they blacklisted you, you can contact them all you want..they will not be interested. To them, you are a foreigner with a shady past therefore a person they dont want to deal with.

    This will only change if-as I mentioned above-you have some contacts in certain places and know a few people who have the authority to help solving your problem.

    Anything is possible if you are willing to be generous when its time to return their favor.

    Good luck

  2. Never worked properly and I tried to solve the problem before taking it back to the shop. But i think I am going to do it tomorrow because I dont see any other solution.

    I cannot uninstall the app only the updates.

    Thank you for your help

  3. Try Dolphin.

    What version of Chrome do you have?

    I have a GNEX 4/Android 4.3/Chrome 28.0.1500.94, but I only use Dolphin. No FCs when I launch Chrome; I also know several folks with SGS4's and none have mentioned this issue.

    What version of Android do you have?

    I assume you've updated all your apps. including Chrome?

    Android 4.2.2, and Chrome is the same as you use - the newest version.

    I regularly update it and the others, i also installed all available firmware upgrades, but the problem persists.

    I have tried all those..Dolphin, Maxthon, etc. Good ones but i would rather use Chrome

  4. Try clearing the browser cache, find Chrome in the apps manager and do it from there.

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately it didnt help.

    Meanwhile i am looking at the current size of Firefox - exceeds 300MB, though i installed it maybe a month ago.

    Chrome, i ve been using it for like 3months and still under 80MB.

    Mozilla should have let me know that if i plan to use their browser, i better have an sd dedicated to that only.

  5. I got this Samsung s4 not long ago and i am really happy with it except one thing.

    That damn Chrome freezes and force closes all the time.

    The device comes with the app pre installed, and i really dig the layout and otherwise smooth operation of Google Chrome but

    i was forced to install Firefox because i got annoyed by the constant freezes.

    Any suggestions, what could be the problem and what i could to to make it work properly are welcome.

    I already went to immigration, but they couldnt help. w00t.gif

  6. Dear TV members.

    I have this irritating problem that I cant seem to find a few cool tshirts that fit me.

    The case is that I regularly work out and as a side effect I am quite big. To make it worse, I am 6'2". So wherever I go they have the well known thai sizing which doesnt fit me. I am aware of the few export shops around, and the night market that mostly caters for foreigners but their quality is so bad that I am not willing to blow money on that.

    Anywhere else, mostly in the malls I did find tshirts that I like but expecting them to have xxl..that I usually need would be wishful thinking.

    Any suggestions related to the solution of this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  7. People say that mainly because of money issues. It all comes down to what they can afford. When somebody chooses a scooter instead of a car..in my opinion that is because thats what they can afford. Just think about it for a second: if I gave you the choice to pick one which one you would choose a scooter or a car?

    Probably the car. And the folks who have the money to buy and maintain a car do have this choice to pick what they want. Others don't. So they usually just say..ah I dont want the car. No disrespect intended but usually that's the case.

    But of course on the other side the traffic in this country is crazy. And thats a good enough reason for many to get a motorcycle even if they could afford a car so they are not going to spend the rest of their lives stuck in traffic jams.

  8. Thats a good one..I like it!

    Besides, might have some truth to it.

    But I am not sure if its appropriate in France to this day. Every time I did it when I was there, they seemed quite mad.

    Thais, thats different. I can tell from experience that a lot of them have no idea whats up with the middle finger..they just show it because it comes from farangland so its automatically cool.

  9. I totally agree with the declining standards.

    Not specifically in clubs but in general. People, no matter female or male used to know how to dress properly, and with style.

    These days so many people just do not seem to care about their own appearance.

    Otherwise such ideas to make you improve your looks would not be needed.

  10. I live in fear everyday that in the next morning when it is going to be time to hit the gym again..its going to be closed.

    These thais have so many festivals, and they always seem to celebrate something..God bless them for that, its all fine but sometimes it interferes with the opening time of certain establishments, so it often leaves me praying: dont keep me away from the 45 plates.

  11. Well, you have two choices.

    First, you could do one of the things that others suggested above, such as to damaging the guy`s vehicle..flat tyres etc, but i advice you to

    stay away from that. You could easily end up in trouble not just because its a crime but we all know that revenge would follow.

    Also, keep in mind that you are not going to be able to solve the problem on the same level where it appeared.

    So instead of acting like a caveman go with the second choice and do your best to solve it intelligently.

    Yes, it is going to cost some money, but based on that you conduct business here and live here..i assume you know that.

    The hotel next to you is a prime example: they know the game, they follow the rules of it and their problem got solved by doing so.

    He was taken to court, obviously a few people were paid just to make sure everything runs smoothly...and what a surprise, the guy doesnt dare to

    park there anymore.

    Between the BiB would start to care about your problem immediately, as soon as you decided to be a bit generous with them in terms of currency.

    I am not suggesting bribing anybody, what i am saying is: take legal action.
