Poor man is obviously mentally ill. He needs help. 

In the US, he would have been forcibly removed quickly enough. Just how fast depends on the city of course, of course.

In L.A., he'd be gone in a New York minute.

So  basically, here in Thailand there are plenty of immigration rules, but they are interpreted differently depending on the immigration officer and where he/she is located. Seems kind of crazy to a lot of us, right? 

Well, I think I at least somewhat understand this system now. Let's say Rule "A" is interpreted differently by officers in Phuket and Chiang Mai. Why are they not interpreted the same? Because the rules themselves are vague and it would be an insult (resulting in loss of face) to the officer in Chiang Mai if an officer from Phuket called him and claimed he was interpreting the rule incorrectly. Therefore, no phone call and nothing changes! 

The REAL leaders of the country, whoever they are, can't be operating in this way. For instance, let's say a military matter of life and death came up. The matter would need to be resolved professionally or somebody might get killed, right?

$175 million US would go along way in Thailand what is the purpose of all this military equipment as far as I know Thailand has not been at war for many many years . I can only think that they could be used if there is another planned change of Government 

“ Out with the old In with the new “ 

Thailand is at war right now in the far south provinces, I do believe.

Astounding!

Wake up, peanut gallery!

Thailand, always a reliable ally of the Murikins, didn't pay a dime for these things. 

The Great Dragon to the North is being sent a message.

Duh! Little is as it seems on the surface. 

Hey, The Duke's has great burgers. They even do 'em medium rare.

Yeah, that Egbert's stuff is history, for now. It's great coffee, partly because it retains so much freshness due to the packaging.

I know it sounds like splitting hairs, but "deposited 2 months before" should actually read "deposited at least 2 months before" - am I right?

Thanks.

B4n9 - Cardano can't go much lower! 

Thanks Trujillo. Just trying to learn about it at this point. Good to hear your opinion. 

Cute. Thanks.

Guess not. Not one reply!

Hey, anyone in CM know how to buy the crypto coin called Cardano in Thailand?

Wouldnt it make sense to ask that in the Chiang Mai forum ?

Yes, it would. That is what I thought I did.

Hi. I need to buy a decent, strong cane to help me get around. 

I have a joke fantasy where all Thais are compelled to hand in their driver's licences, then the British or Americans, or beter yet, the Germans! are called in to administer the reissuing process.

Seems like a lot of anger and envy in the comments. Thais look at the world and their lives differently than we Westerners do. Food is obviously very important to them. It's not all great and they don't need nearly as much, but it's definitely one of the reasons people feel generally good here. Hey, go ahead and say it: they don't really feel so great! But they do, based on how they see things. 

Hey, sorry! I put this in the wrong category! I thought it said Driving in Thailand! My mistake! 

I don't know how to change it to the correct category! 

If somebody else (like the moderator) knows how, feel free to do so!

Thanks!

Hey, no more Number One in road deaths!

Anybody agree? 

Sometimes, the answer's staring you right in the face, right?

Yep drive by it almost daily and have yet to see 1 person in there..guess its more in the evening i drive past..

My concerns with this, having been a cook for 25 yrs, is just how fresh is the food...as opposed to a high

turnover place ur assured of food being used daily and fresh food brought in..im not big on frozen and microwaves

Hence my passing by and not stopping in as in my exps working in kitchens food waste is money lost, or all frozen.....

Just cant see this place making it as it seems large, right on canal, and add all the other mex places in Cm already..

Hahahahah! You've been a cook for 25 years?!? Okeh!

You completely trash the place without even trying the food first. 

Great hack job! But why?

I actually stopped in tried the food. Pork fajitas, tortilla soup, fresh and very tasty. People who run the place are very nice, speak good English. Can't wait to go back!

As long as he is clean they can't kick him out the last guy who tried it was a corrupt criminal. If your clean and working for the country they can't kick you out. 

Beaver Cleaver hath spoken. 

Wonder what Eddie Haskell thinks.

Guy's on his knees right now praying:

"Oh God! Please don't let them send me back to Thailand!"

Can you imagine this guy in a Thai jail? He'd be some serious jailbait in there.

Oh wait! That doesn't work, they're already in jail!

Expat Auto all the way. 

They have some sort of warranty/guarantee program.

I'm on a retirement extension Non-O Immigrant visa. I have a one- or two-year license, can't remember which, and when I renew I want to get a 5-year.

Anybody know the latest rules about whether I need a doctor's note again?

Thanks!

Of course, it's not just Australians, it's farangs from anywhere and everywhere. 

The Americans are starting a serious anti-trafficking push, which is of necessity worldwide in scope.

SE Asia is up to its neck catering to pedos. Let's hope the crackdown is successful.
