    Swede, Filipino arrested in Chiang Mai with 500 fake ATM cards

    in Chiang Mai News

    Posted · Edited by sanuk711

    The Swede. He comes from a country where social security is second to none. He deserves no second chances, no clemency, no easy road back to Sweden, unless he's in a body bag, ... just a rope around his neck.

    The Philippine associate has done serious wrong, but no doubt has a tougher existence He should and will do time. Enough to hurt,

    Waste the Swede.----Technikilll

    Wow , two billion years of evolution & we get you................. coffee1.gif

    **I take it your all for Nigerians getting Suspended sentence / Community service order then---- as there is no social security & they have an even tougher life then the guy you want to execute.

    Hope they rot in a Thai prison.---

    These guys should get 15 years---

    Lock them up and throw away the key

    get into your cages where you belong

    Hang these bastards and set a precedent!...............

    What did you guys actually do before you came to Thailand, .... work at Stalag 9b...??

    & yes it has happened to me twice , once in Oz they had a laptop under the counter in a service station they had rented -- & once in Thailand, ---(& I still do not know how that one happened--because they were not forthcoming in telling me) both times were a f***ing headache that I really wouldn't want to go through again .

    I get a little more angry with Banks not spending their Billions in profits on state of the art security , that these guys sitting in a hotel room can not get around, & then trying not to pay out when their clients have been scammed ----maybe we can save the hangman's noose for them.

    ** Note my friend in BKK was unsuccessfully skimmed last year -- his new card they issued him only works in the banks own ATMs.--(Siam Bank), not as convenient as just using the nearest 711-machine, but the bank says , safer & less problems if skimmed. If you feel you are exposed, get your bank to do the same.

    Making bacon with curing salt

    in Western Food in Thailand

    Posted

    I was reading this medical journal a few weeks ago & they feel that by the end of this year scientists in Japan will be growing human organs in pigs and transplanting them into humans.

    I think somethings obviously lost on them here. They're going to give you a new heart grown in a pig to replace the old one which got

    clogged up from eating too much bacon and sausage...................................coffee1.gif

    How early to renew

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    I am on a Marriage retirement / extension Visa , I will have to return to my own country for a sickness death--as I am also the executor of the estate I do not think I will be able to return to Thailand before my Visa expires in 10 weeks. I have read older posts on ThaiVisa that talk about 30 days as the period to renew early ---however on other forums They are stating

    1/ Up to 3 months in BKK

    2/ At the wim of the immigration dept that you visit.

    Has there been any official change since people posted these answers --- is there any other way to renew when not in Thailand.

    Internet / Web TV boxes, what are impressions?

    in Audio Visual AV

    "I have considered getting and using one of the IPTV boxes in an attempt to dislodge myself from True's costly monthly addiction...Pianoman"

    What is it that you get from True that you can not get "Free" from the internet--??

    Sorry Pianoman I am not trying to hijack the thread--but I know nothing much about the boxes, I woke up this morning to sit & watch my Football (UK) team play then watched Match of the day to catch up with them all, latter today I may watch a Thriller that I am following from the BBC , or I have got quite interested in watching Poker from America (when you are sitting there knowing all the cards its quite interesting) I got around to watching the Movie Noah last night, although I have a pile of movies to get through. Yesterday I was watching channel 4 documentary's --My mail order Bride (shot in BKK & Kiev ) & The worst place to be a pilot.

    I consider myself to be a computer blond & have several times had to run to ThaiVisa comp page to ask about something...but even for someone like me, its all there to watch 15 minutes after its been screened on TV , or a few days after cinema release.

    Maybe I am missing something here with not paying for a box, but just what.............coffee1.gif

    Seem to work fine for me Sandman77 with very little side affects.

    34 year old Brit wants to move to Thailand ... which VISA to go for?

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    I'm a 34 year old British male who own my own Ltd company in the UK as a sole director doing IT contract work and running a few online businesses. I've just come back from a 17 day holiday in Thailand and completely fell in love with the country and everything about it.

    I've decided I want to live and work out in Thailand. -----james007lamb

    no money to pay overstay

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    I do not know if the latest legislation has altered everything, but I have had to go to court with a few people over the years up in Issan & it does (did) seem the sentences--(fines) are lighter up there---(this may be of no help to the OPs Friends situation)---the last one was working illegally as a teacher 8 years overstay---6,000baht fine & allowed to do a U turn in Laos. Someone posted that the IDC unit is better than the standard prison, this is not so, it really is a bad situation in the IDC , partly because they do not know each day how many inmates will be in there, the overcrowding last time I visited there was horrific, Also you really do need to have some money if you are in there---yes I realize if you get sent there for not having enough funds its a bit of a catch 22 situation.

    Free Wi-Fi Establishments

    in Pattaya

    Posted · Edited by sanuk711

    Thanks for the advice Pattaya28........ I know that not paying the Fox channel for watching their sport is an offense & it does keep me awake at night just thinking about how to help the Murdoch empire out in any other way possible.

    I have Broadband hooked up to my house in Issan--I am in Pattaya for a week or so to meet friends who are flying in---I do carry a  Dongal set up for when I travel , but I know from experience that the Markland is very bad for reception---concrete & steel all around---have to sit out on the balcony just to do a e-mail.---it just doesn't do the trick---hence the asking,

    Free Wi-Fi Establishments

    in Pattaya

    Posted

    I should have asked this with my Restaurant questions....

    I download Boxing , UFC  & some football etc, watch in the next few days as I cant stay awake for most of it. 

    Anyway when I am in Pataya where I stay (Markland) is woeful for any decent reception, I belong to private sites so the download is usually very fast, can be done while I have a coffee or a meal.

     

    So who --what establishment--has decent (fast) free Wi-Fi, I have Starbucks on the list, although I haven't checked the Pattaya one out, most of the Mcac's I have been in are quite slow. I miss the shopping centers in Oz, most all of them are fast Wi-Fi & if you have the smaller tablet, you can set it on download, put in your backpack & window shop.

     

    .So Free---Fast Wi-Fi ..............where..............coffee1.gif

     

    Thanks

    If you were to move out of Thailand, where would you go?

    in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

    Posted

    You make some reasonable points- but I never actually said that the Govt. had issued any ant- Farangs statements. What I did say is that there is an " anti- Farang feeling- particularly to the non- tourists. Of course, people who want to stay here longer term should have a suitable visa, but I think the visa system still needs a lot of work. If the visa system is not given an overhaul and modernized to reflect modern day circumstances of the ex. Pat community then I believe it will lead to quite a lot of people relocating and at least re-considering the amount they are willing to invest here. This might be what the Military actually want.! Will Thailand be better off with just tourists spending their money as and when they come here on vacation?? Personally, I doubt that very much. The ex.pat community contribute more to Thailand than just money. "I am not saying that Thailand has become more strict than other Asian Countries either, but the reason for me coming here initially was that it did seem a more relaxed place than the alternatives. At the end of the day we are " small fry" in the whole scheme of things- but even small fry have choices !

    I have got to truly say Albert that I have not come across any change in the attitude of the Thai's in the 15 years I have lived here-----maybe living in Issan they haven't caught up with the feelings you talk about.

    I still view the Thai visa laws as being quite flexible for people who want to live here.... if you are married to a Thai & over 50 then just show them $14K in the bank & don't bother to see them again for another year. If under 50 then a Marriage Visa (the Visa wife) dependent child..etc etc ....honestly Albert so many ways around it that I sometimes look at some of the posts on here & think ----How did you manage to tie your shoes up this morning.

    .

    I do get upset when posters on here dump on the Thai's, saying they don't want us & its a racial thing.

    Thailand is a nice place to live---so nice that some people who do not have the means to live here stay anyway, Look at youtube --farangs sleeping on the beach in Pattaya, a thread on here 2 days ago about a farang trying to sell sausages up in issan. What do you do if your a Thai looking at this situation--other then look at the laws and say, the law is already there to stop this--lets just enforce it. Will some people who do have the means to stay here get caught up in this----sure & the bitterness will insure that they slag of Thailand & the Thai people, as you can see from some of these posts.

    .

    * Anyway if I relocated from here..... it would be Canvey Island for me, sun kissed shores over looking the oil refinery.

    Thai Interior Ministry: Exemption of visa fees considered for European tourists

    in Thailand News

    Posted · Edited by sanuk711

    But why is my question? also working without a work permit NOT a tourist visa is illegal.

    people who work here put money back into the economy. if they dont work they cant sign on the dole. so whats the beef?

    Zonka go tell tell the Americans they should let more Mexicans in because they put more money into the economy---go tell the English that they should let more Poles in because they put more money into the economy --After that you can go tell the Thai's the same thing.
