  1. In the USA a 13year old is too mature to make a life changing decision to have a tattoo done without the parents permission. So, i am curious why Thailand does not have laws for this also here to protect children from themselves by making laws for these types of things. This poor girl can never make a baby and from the sound of it she may even scare off any prospective man after seeing the damage done inside her if it is still visible when she matures.
  2. Paid 1000 a day should have been a sign to the father that something was amiss.
  3. am curious how many of these Thai owners of monkeys that are used to cut coconuts from the trees have permits to keep the monkeys.. Foreigners beware.. Do as I say but not as I do should be the motto for people coming into Thailand
  4. Agents can not help you... They can not even help anyone when it comes to US PASSPORTS or VISAs. The only thing an agent can do is help you fill in the forms and tell you what is required. You only have 2 choices.. Go to Bangkok Embassy or do the mail-in.
  5. So I have to call B.S. on this OP and on the Brits claiming they suffer financially now with this. Since the law to freeze those types of people specifically in those countries. The Brits complaining actually and knowingly put themselves into a position that is causing duress. That is 24 years this law was implemented. Surely the Brits did not move here expecting more than what was given by law then..
  6. Yes, but this is the Thai chance to bash another foreigner. I am curious if these people complaining know that when there is an injury in an accident that ALL rescue workers and Ambulance workers and Doctors tell people to never touch the victim or offer any assistance or they may inadvertently cause more sever injury instead of helping them.
  7. clearly you do not understand english... go back to school ok
  8. Look at it from their side... once tourist comes for 7 days... spends an average of 700 baht not including drinking or hotels.. times that by 1000. Then there is you the retiree. Going out only sometimes spending an average of 700 per week not including drinking and your rental or payment for a condo. Times that by 1000.. Which will put more money into the economy? You or the tourist? The foreigner living here is relaxed and does not go out every day spending money. The tourist goes out everyday to experience more in their short time here. You will always lose because the most money will always prevail in Thailand.
  9. You forgot to mention the man hit. Even when you cross a street at a crosswalk you should always be looking left and right to make sure you are safe. The man in the video did not once look. I am not trying to lay blame on the man hit... But the accident could have been avoided if he had bothered to look while crossing.
  10. I would think that there would be a way they had to show they were forced into providing this type of service as well as being kept prisoner and unable to leave before a claim could be made they were abused in any way. You seem to think nothing is needed for this. But let's say for example you go to happy ending massage place and the woman gives you the happy ending. I seriously doubt you are asking her age or if she can go out with you. Just as sure that when you went into the business those same massage girls were not in handcuffs or behind locked doors unable to leave. Clearly the owner made the choice to allow these young women to work there and profit from their services to the customers and even pay the police bribes to allow it all to happen. However I do not see innocence with the young women. I do not see them forced except as being told if they wanted to work there then providing sex services is a condition of employment. Apparently the police also did not see them as forced and kept there without their wanting to be there or there would be kidnapping and many other charges laid out against the shop owner. Yes, it is illegal. Yes, it is immoral. But to say it is abuse would be incorrect without any kind of proof. also if you look at the charges made.. They say nothing about kidnapping or confinement of the young girls. So they clearly wanted to do this type of work and collect a large amount of money for themselves and their families. So how is this abuse? Any customers who knowingly engaged in paying for their sex was wrong as well and should be prosecuted as well. But what about those customers who did not know or ask for sex specifically with a underage girl? Asking for proof of age when getting a massage when it is customary in these types of massage business for the woman to make them excited and then offer sex services without telling the man their age so it should not make him guilty as well. Usually a 15, 16, 17 or 18 year old Thai girl looks older when wearing street clothes. Even I myself have was surprised at the similarities to them compared to their wearing school clothes. Catch them on the street in a mall or something and they could easily pass for 24 or 25. They dress the part and act it as well.
  11. So this man thinks being present during the murder and hiding the cut up bodies makes him innocent. He should get the death sentence along with the Japs who he claims killed the other man.
  12. Although these temperatures seem high. They are not showing what the real temps are when you feel it. In my area right now it is only 34. But the weather app is saying that it feels like 45.... I tend to believe the weather app feels like temp more because the heat is really bad unless in the shade. I can not imagine what the feels like temperature is in Bangkok at 40c. Time to start cooking food on the sidewalks to save electricity bills skyrocketing to fight this heat also.
  13. It is about time they decided to move them all out. However, they should keep some at the temple there that have been sterilised already since it is a big attraction to foreigners and probably the only tourist attraction in Lopburi except for the sunflower fields.
  14. Mine was doubled than it normally is. Turning on air mid day when the worst heat comes. Almost 7000 this month.
  15. you still have a couple days to report after the due date. I have never heard of being penalised if coming a few days after the due date. It happened to me once also, I was a week late and did not have to pay any fines.
  16. yeah, and a deal made about the ongoing case against Big Joke for sure.
  17. I am tempted to agree with you. I think this act of filing a case against the PM is a farce. He is trying to make you look left when you should be looking right. It is highly feasible that he was moved to the PM office for inactive post so he would not be near anyone in the investigation about the gambling. Then returned to the RTP post to face his charges. Especially since he refused to turn himself in for so long time that it was in the news the police would soon make a warrant to arrest him. Given his position in the RTP and kept in office would have given him the power and credibility to make the investigators leary about continuing their line of investigating.
  18. Seems to me by your story.. The man who is 40-50 years old went there and paid off the parents and had sex with the 16 year old girl. Highly illegal and even if he did it with the parents permission the police can and will prosecute him if the parents make a case about it. I would suggest you tell the family to go to the police. It does not matter if he left and now is demanding the money back. He was wrong in the first place and probably should have to pay more to stay out of jail. The family can also make a case for theft since he took all he bought and gave them. The police can track down who he is by his chat name and his phone number.
  19. Sounds good to me. Better than being bumped into while walking on the sidewalk by tourists not looking where they are going or so many that there is not enough of a walkway to get by. Noisy rude people not caring about anything except their own satisfaction even if it ruins the place they are at. The 300 baht fee is not a lot. But if they implement the mandatory insurance on top of it then it will surely deter people. Why not make a compromise and split the 300 baht fee for insurance.. This type of fee collected is very hard to keep people's hands out of the till. It sounds like a great opportunity to have an excess of cash to throw away on projects they will profit from or simply keeping some of the money themselves. I great chance to add to the corruption already present in the country.
  20. The incident, which took place around 4am yesterday, April 22, unfolded in the presence of his son at a religious celebration in Buriram province. So at 4 am they are having a religious ceremony? This makes no sense with the rest of the story.
  21. I confused about this data. The Thai government hospital near me directly told us that they do not have or give Covid tests anymore and if I wanted one for checking my child's sickness then I would need to go to 7/11 and buy one. This was when my son became catatonic with high fever onset suddenly. So where are they getting these test results from? If these figures are correct. Thailand only has itself to blame for allowing free entry of Chinese into Thailand. The Chinese have been deleting all Covid data and stopped checking for Covid for any and all sicknesses even though patient numbers are still filling the hospitals with sick and people are still dying with Covid-like symptoms. I have several friends in different parts of China who are Chinese teachers there that tell me they are still closing classrooms and using Covid measures when more than one student gets sick. But they are not allowed to talk about the possibility of it being Covid.
  22. So many with friends nearby doing nothing to try to save you also... Where the heck were the friends that no-one seemed to have jumped into the sea to try to rescue the transgender. I think the need to call them transgender is simply because the word man or woman does not seem to fit them anymore. Perhaps it is time the world comes up with a new name for these people that does not seem to insult others.. Anyone have any suggestions?
