The dumbest immigration policy of any country I've heard in quite a while.

I suspect Mr. J is telling some porkies.

Kamagra is Sildenafil, it's hardly some taboo secret drug, it's common and available everywhere, including in Thailand.

The thought of the videos I saw of this incident still pop into my head from time to time, so awful.

A few months ago I saw some local down-and-out doing crystal meth or something at around 1pm along Sukhumvit road not far from On Nut. Not exactly sure what the drug was, but it was a <deleted> up drug, with various paraphernalia he was working with to fix it up. He was just sitting crouched on the footpath, right beside the main road. Equally disturbing, during the same walk, I saw someone pissing off one of the bridge crossing onto the canopy above the footpath below. I thought to myself, if this was my home country, I'd be giving that guy a swift kick up the hole.

Catch illegal immigrant, deport illegal immigrant. Who'd have thunk. UK immigration should study in Thailand. In the UK, he'd just have to say that after 25 years he's got used to eating local food, and if deported, having to eat his home country food would make him feel unfulfilled. Then the UK judges would deem it inhumane to deport him, and he'd be granted a permeant right to stay.

Must be a dodgy vape supplier in the area. I haven't heard of this happening globally.

I'd throw him in prison for a few months, then deport and ban.

They do?

That's a studio with just one bed, so was he sleeping beside the body, and didn't think it was strange she slept for 3 days? Lying or his head's away with it.

She was muling it from Malaysia, not Thailand.

Lights on 24/7, too.

Are they trying to phase out the term "ladyboy"? Most of them like that term, you know.

As soon as we heard the story, we all knew the vultures would see to it that the maid got nothing.

I assume the witness told the police that he had seen the perpetrator around the area before. He was allowed to roam free because the crime wasn't committed yet.

Sexual assault is part of Egyptian culture? In that case, if he did this in Europe, officials would apologize for the cultural insensitivity caused in arresting him, and let him go free.

Great idea, send rent through the roof, then have a crisis where ordinary working people can't afford rent. But who cares, the economy will be bigger.

I wonder how he managed to do that? And fearing for his safety?

Glad to hear it, ridiculous ruling.

What's the world coming to when you can't even take a gun onto an airplane.

I haven't tried it, but when I saw the 'Pay like a local' QR payment feature in the Wise app, I looked into it. You can use it in some other SEA countries, but not yet Thailand. I'm sure Wise are asking to be allowed access to that feature of PromptPay, but not yet granted.

The Wise app already has QR payment functionality - https://wise.com/us/blog/qr-code-payment

Now all we need is for Thailand to allow Wise QR payments to use PromptPay, they already accept instant PromptPay bank transfers from Wise.

Lucky, lucky woman.

Could have entered on a tourist visa, and then got an education visa.
