Indian Tourist Scammed in Pattaya by Pakistani Herbal Remedy Sellers
And what do they think is going to happen now that they have decided to make the 90 visa permanent for certain countries. It’s going to be madness. The news will be full of stolen necklace scams, ladyboy attacks, motorcycle accidents and noise. Thank you Thailand for opening up your doors. So much for quality tourists.

I’m wondering if he is still even in town. I’m sure he’s made a “contribution “ towards his cause, unfortunately it wasn’t to the victims.

Buriram mother bars her son: Prison bedroom sparks outrage
It’s obvious that letting him run free gets him in to trouble and considering that the police nor the hospital/rehab centers have helped, I think this is reasonable. If not I’d hand him over to whoever disagrees and let them deal with it. This is a sad situation, but it’s not as if she hasn’t tried other options.

Band-aid mistake in chicken soup sparks online outrage in Thailand
Well at least they were trying to be hygiene conscious when they used the band aid. Unfortunately no one taught them to use a glove as well. 🤢

"Medical" device ordered outside Thailand being held by Import Export Inspection Division
A friend had a cane ordered for bigger people and had to go to Laem Chabang and fill out forms to register in order to get it. He said it was pretty easy but surprised he had to do it for a cane. It is considered a medical device so I would imagine you’d have to do the same thing.

Bangkok Tightens Grip on Urban Pet Ownership with New Ordinance
They tried to catch and spay and neuter all of the dogs around my house on Pratumnak Hill, but they didn’t get them all and now we are overrun with dogs and some very aggressive. Good idea, but no follow up and you still get chased by them. They definitely need to do something, but doubt they’ll get their new plan to work. Are they going to start a pet patrol? They don’t even have a police patrol. Sounds a bit like they are just saying something to appease the public about the nuisance and dog attacks.

Bank of Thailand Aims for 1-3% Inflation to Boost Economy
Until they get the baht back down they will not be seeing much growth in exports or travelers spending more money. Just too greedy and it will cost them in the end.

Diddy Alledged to have Sexually Assaulted a Boy of 10, after Spiking Soda
This is not funny people. He abused kids and they will be traumatized for life. I’m sure there are many other people that have been abused and just don’t want to relive it. Have some common decency.

Pattaya Market Vendors Protest Fines and Increased Operating Days
If the owner doesn’t give at all then they should all move shop down the road a bit. It was great when it was only 3 days a week. Now being 7 days it’s nothing special. Hopefully they will work it out.

How to Adopt Thai child?
I raised my friends son since he was 3. Now 21. He’s always been asking me to adopt him, but his mother is actually from Laos and they used a Thai lady friend to put her name on the birth certificate. We could never find her so we couldn’t do it. Now that he is of legal age he still wants me to adopt him as he considers me as his Dad. I told him that I don’t know if I could now that he is older. If anyone knows if this still can be done I’d sure love to do it for him. He’ll always be my son no matter what the paperwork says, but it’s more important for him and still brings it up often. 🙏
