I know it will not happen. but this kids parents should be arrested and charged with allowing their child to be out so late without their presence. It is no wonder that lately teens are acting out, joining gangs, killing or injuring others when their parents take no actions to care and raise their kids and allow them to be out late without any repercussions or punishments. In the US, if your child does not go to school. The police can arrest the parent. If they are caught out late at night without the parents presence, the parents can be charged with neglect and lack of care over the child. Thailand needs to adopt some laws that ultimately make the caregiver responsibility over what they allow their child to do.

If what you say is true then why recently then maybe you should read and watch this.... https://www.npr.org/2023/07/27/1190390376/ufo-hearing-non-human-biologics-uaps

It is your choice to write something or not.. Getting it published is an entirely different story. Making it in a way that does not shame or show Thailand in a bad way is nearly impossible as a foreigner if you write things that are factual. Why don't you try instead making promotional leaflets for Thailand to their tourism ministry. There you can lie about all the good things and never worry TPD does not come knocking on your door in the future for something written showing Thailand in a bad way. I am most certain if i was to write about my time in Thailand. I would be arrested for pornographic written material and showing the unsavory side of Thailand to the world for sure. But, i would bet you have spent your time in a nice condo or house, travelling to nice places. Never really seeing Thailand for what is hidden from most tourists. So your opinion would be better for tourists and more believable by them as well..

Haha tactical retreat.. nice way of saying he ran away scared...

Funny of you to say this.... Because it was Harris who promoted the hate messages for Trump consistently about 100 times more than any hate messages given by the Republicans. Even the supporters for Harris did this and added that if you voted for Trump they would hate you also. Her whole campaign was about hate for Trump.

Good luck with that.. Unless there was an insurance policy signed they will be hard luck to get any monies of any substance.

I have yet to buy anything I can say is good quality from China. Not in 30 years... Cheaper yes. But not good quality that lasts.. The US needs to start making their own goods again of quality that they used to. Not being dependent on imported goods of lesser quality. People do not mind paying more if something is of value and the quality is worth making the purchase. The problem is and always has been that because 3rd world labor is cheap and manufacturing is cheap making it available for even the poor to buy. Those are the ones who will suffer when tariffs are given. Perhaps, if there are new opportunities for Americans to make their own quality goods again then the prices will be reduced and people around the world will begin to want American products again. But i do not see that happening for a long time. Instead prices may increase for the cheaper quality goods rather than people taking the opportunity to make their own high quality goods. Made in America no longer means good quality. Although, I think if something is made in America even with imported goods the quality is better than buying in Asia. Perhaps some of you do not know but what is sold in China to the Chinese is not the same quality as what is shipped out to other countries.

Also, if we are tax paying foreigners in Thailand why then do we have to pay double or triple for things just because we are foreigners? They should allow us the privilege to pay the same as Thai by showing a tax number or long term visa. Tourists can pay the double standards and be taxed accordingly for their purchases. It appears the government is trying to punish those of us living here, married here with families, or working here with yet another double standard. The country coffers must be drying up and this is their way to refill it. There are 2 other countries that have the taxation for income in and outside their countries. But they do not make you pay additional charges simply because you are a foreigner. Every person in the country is charged the same for things and services.

I am still curious about how this country can tax income that is earned and deposited overseas? If it is earned in another country then their respective banks would be reporting it to the local tax. But they can only do that because you signed releases to allow it when opening the account. Thailand banks may have new rules to make you sign a release so they can gain this information. But what about older accounts? Would anyone actually sign something new to allow them this authorization? None of my Thailand banks have my tax or income information other than receiving wire transfers from another country. If they request blanket permission to access my banks private information I would refuse and take my money from their bank. If they request access to my tax information from abroad I would not be able to give it since I never file taxes there. Un-taxable income is not required to file a tax return. So there is no record for them to check anyway. Given the really bad security issues dealing with banks leaking your personal information make me think it is not a good idea to provide banks with data from my country. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2425127/police-nab-state-officials-selling-user-information-to-scammers https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-bank-officer-nabbed-for-selling-customer-data-in-nonthaburi Does anyone else feel there may be risks in giving more information to the banks in Thailand than is absolutely necessary or to the government about the money we have or make outside of Thailand?

Don't they mean only 15 million... that number should be a lot higher. i would think that many who do not file taxes or have their names and incomes on record are a lot more than this 15 million

How can this be when they had such such good leaders? Are they now trying to tell us the opposite?

What a joke. for 12 years I have been reading about what monks do when no-one is looking and even seen it with my own eyes. Drugs, sex with married women, alcohol, murder, incest, child-sex or porn, theft, and many other crimes regularly. You see them walking around looking like the only live on the food sustenance until you see the 80,000 baht IPhone or Ipad they pull out. When will Thais realize that more than a few monks are not following Buddhism's teachings? This article does not surprise me. Nor does it show Buddhism in a good light. Perhaps I need to go see that 8 year old kid who is claiming to be a reincarnation of Buddha with mystical powers to see what has happened to the real Buddhism?

yeah, it does not really make sense adding so much security since you can not obtain money through that website.

Wow you are not kidding. Wife works in a government office. The office supervisor is there today crying and will be going to file a police report because she just sent 80,000 baht to someone claiming to be the bank manager at her bank. Scammed so easily simply by telling her that there was an error and she needed to send the money to fix it. This is a Government worker who manages payouts millions of baht to other government workers. No checking authenticity of the bank and the manager. No checking the account to see if there was really a problem.. Just a phone call and off her money goes without thought

Their committee that was set up to capture and relocate those monkeys seems to have stopped. One article in the news about 2 months ago hailing this and the capture between 20 to 30 monkeys. But then nothing. One would think it would not be difficult to capture more quickly given the monkeys dependence on food from the temple and in the city.

Don't think he will need to prepare much except maybe memorizing what to say that is being told to him. He is protected now with Thaksin pulling the strings.

Why didn't you file a police report? Can not see how you found all of that funny though. A gf of 8 years would be considered your wife anyway. Also it sounds as if you were the one scammed simply because she must have been using your money to pay for the uhh (land).

No more than TUG did with the first comment posted. Even if he is guilty, the Prez managed to escape becoming involved with it even though it was proven he met the investors with his son personally and was in speakerphone talks with them making deals. This case can not go away simply because of the publicity and need to continue to keep Biden out of it. However, I seriously doubt there will be any conviction. It is a show now made to pacify the voters for Biden.

Uh oh.. perhaps someone forgot to send those much needed envelopes. Why do they pick on these workers? No Thai in Chonburi would do such for for so little pay. There are much bigger fish they could be catching right there in the open selling themselves or services out in the open. The last time I walked down walking street i was approached by several foreigners showing cards with pricing for sex shows in Non-specific bars. They were doing it in the middle of the street with the small police stand within 50 meters.

When i opened mine with SSA i did not have a US number. I used ID ME. They will give you an option to get some codes to use for log in. At first i thought it would be a pain and difficult but after several times using it I feel it is convenient. Just make sure you store codes in a hidden folder if keeping them in your PC. You can copy and paste them easily enough.

why not just take it to a shop that does this.. It will be cheap enough and not waste your time waiting for delivery and doing it yourself. My fan also had the same problem but it was not the capacitor. You may find you are wrong about the problem and change that only to find it still does not work. The cost to fix my industrial sized fan was only 150 baht. Are you so cheap you can not just let a professional fix it?

I recently did 3 passport renewals all by mail. You seem to either not be able to read or perhaps unable to interpret what you read. They post photos or how to make payment. How to do the mail. You can get a bank draft to send payment. They show photos of it and the banks you can use. Then you can get a prepaid envelope if i remember correctly to have them mail it back.

Yeah, but think it was B.S. Even if you are strapped to a bed you can still be allowed on an airplane. My guess is that story was just some drivel Thaiger made to make you sympathize with them and help an ongoing gofundme or worse. I know for sure anyone can walk into a clinic and get a doctors release to fly if offering the doctor money.

Have fun there Bob.. Last time I was there i saw many very old men like you with 18 year old wives following behind their old husbands and although not a single one looked happy. They were dressed to the 9. I am sure you too can find one happy to spend your money and lay with you (maybe not so happy) there

yeah, i am suspecting this also. As well as the woman and her husband failing to plan their future as retired. They have been in Thailand a very long time. When they arrived the THB was getting them almost the same as it is now. But the cost of living was 1/4 of what it is now. I wonder why they did not plan with savings for their futures, knowing their incomes would stay the same. Everyone knows the cost to live increases yearly. Also, when they saw their money dwindling, why did they wait until now to try to leave? Based on the article they have been told by several doctors now that she is unfit to fly. If they were already struggling before, why wait until there is nothing and she is unable to leave by plane?
