By that logic  Thais who drive Ferraris and wear Rolex Daytona watches should pay more then too.

Why  are they not fleeced also?

Thia's that drive Ferrari's & wear Rolax watch's generally don't eat street vender food, they eat in expensive restaurants where EVERYBODY is ripped off ;-)

Total BS, easily proven to be a lie by HMG published statistics e.g.

 

"Prison & general population by ethnicity, December 2016 Compared to the population as a whole, the non-white population is over represented accounting for 12% of the general population and 25% of the prison population at December 2016"

And you have been IN a British prison & seen for yourself? I call bullshit, because I have!!!!

I watched a TV program the other night on Hells Angels, formed back after world war 2 named after a bomber squadron and mainly ex vets the 1%-ters who did not want to conform after the wars they where in turned their heads. They where hard men with that background.

 

Must be some seriously old American bikers floating around here or a bunch of wannabe's doing a copycat impression, the later I expect.

wakeupplease, please learn what 1% actually means before brandishing it about willynilly

The term "One-Percenters" originated from the July 4, 1947, annual Gypsy Tour race sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) which was held in Hollister, California. The Gypsy Tour race, which was the pièce de résistance of motorcycle racing events during that time, was held at different locations across America and had been previously held in Hollister in 1936.

A location near the town was chosen again in 1947 partly because of its long relationship with bikers and various biker-related events that were held throughout the years, and also because of the welcome the AMA received by the town merchants who knew the positive impact it would have on the local economy.Approximately 4,000 attended the Gypsy Tour race and many of the riders and non-riders ended up celebrating in the town of Hollister. For three days there was a lot of hard-core beer drinking and street racing that went on in the town. By Sunday, the California Highway Patrol was called in armed with tear gas to help put an end to the event.

After it was over, there was a record of about 55 bikers being arrested on misdemeanor charges. There were no reports of property being destroyed or of looting and not a single report of any local people being harmed in any way.

However, the San Francisco Chronicle ran articles that exaggerated and sensationalized the event. Headlines like "Riots... Cyclists Take Over Town" and words such as “terrorism” described the general atmosphere in Hollister over the holiday weekend.

To top it off, a San Francisco Chronicle photographer by the name of Barney Peterson staged a photograph of an intoxicated biker holding a bottle of beer in each hand while leaning against a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, with broken beer bottles scattered on the ground.

Life magazine picked up on the story and  in the July 21, 1947, edition it ran Peterson's staged photograph  on full-page display titled, “Cyclist’s Holiday: He and Friends Terrorize Town.” Ultimately, to the dismay of the AMA, the image sparked both fascination and concern about the violent, unruly nature of the a growing subculture of motorcycle groups.

The event became known as the "Hollister Riot" although there is no documentation that an actual riot occurred and the town of Hollister invited the race back, other cities across the country believed what the press reported and it resulted in numerous cancelations of the Gypsy Tour races.

AMA RESPONDS

It was rumored that the AMA defended the reputation of its association and member, with an alleged press release stating that, "The trouble was caused by the one percent deviant that tarnishes the public image of both motorcycles and motorcyclists" and going on to say that 99 percent of bikers are law-abiding citizens, and the "one percent" are nothing more than "outlaws." 

However, in 2005 the AMA denied credit for the term, saying that there was no record of any AMA official or published statement that originally used the "one percent" reference.

No matter where it actually originated from, the term caught on and new outlaw motorcycle gangs  (OMGs) emerged and embraced the concept of being referred to as one-percenters.

After reading 14 pages of, well, 99 percent of complete & utter drivel, that only leaves 1 percent that actually understands what has happened here, I haven't laughed so much in a very looong time, that doesn't mean I condone what this idiotically stupid 'Prospect Outlaw Nomad' club have done.... ;-)

When are they going to get these "MURDERERS" off the road?  This guy needs to be locked up.  He killed someone and only has to pay 400 baht?  It's 500 baht for not wearing a helmet for sake.  I would dare say the family will not settle on this and there will be much more to the story they are not discussing such as the real compensation.  These drivers don't have accidents.  An accident is an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause.  These guys cause the problem by driving recklessly and not paying attention, that is not an accident.  These drivers are "murderers".  They get behind the wheel and are a danger to everyone else on the road.

All the ladies in the OP pic look nearer 81 than 18...

 

But for thinking any of them look good...  IMHO you need to get your eyes checked. 

 

 

If you think the lady at the very front on the cover photo is nearer 81 than 18,  then it is YOU who needs your eyes tested.....she's a little cutie ;-). As for the rest, I wouldn't even bat an eyelid in the street at them.

They are not friendly, they all want to cut you into small pieces, stick you in a big cooking pot, so the whole village gets a big feast....

How do u know they hav small wilies?

They are Thai's....

https://goo.gl/images/stX71J

Do NOT go to ANY Immigration office, go straight to any international airport or land crossings to go OUT of Thailand

So - punchline - almost every rational farang will rent.

and irrational Farangs are willing to pay for the luxury of being able to make any changes according to their whims Thai wivies/girlfriends....

I tried tying my hands together but it was impossible even if I used my teeth - you should try it. I then asked my wife to tie my hands together to see if I could put my head through a noose while standing on a stool with my hands tied together. Again, it was impossible. My wife then had a bright idea - teerak, do you want me to kick the chair away for you?.

Is it on your property or his, is this "farmland " your living in ?..... if so forget about the "law" and get used to country living....and shut your windows and buy an aircon

Good advice.

It's often difficult to live near Thais. They and their animals can be very noisy.

That's why farang ghettos were built.

If it so difficult to live near Thais, what the heck are you doing here?

Thais are noisy. Disturbing others doesn't enter the equasion.

My neighbour on the right is from Norway. Never heard a peep coming from his place in years. So considerate.

The neighbour on my left is Thai, crushing aluminium cans next to my bedroom at 6AM, yelling into the phone meters away from my patio, blasting the home theatre so the neighbours 6 house down can enjoy. They are also now near deaf and yell at each other all day long...They are a noise factory.

I took a bag of donuts over and asked if they could close their door when that home theatre is unleashing it's sonic fury. No way... and now they hate me.

I guess some Thai's just don't like do-nuts

You seem to be fixated on "the law", well the main problem with that is you whilst you may well find one, you then need someone to "enforce it", and therein lies your problem. Thailand has many laws, but no one really interested unless there is a financial incentive, to actually enforce them. This aint the west!

Then you have another problem, you have gone to the Or ba tor?, so now the guy concerned "looses face" in his community, and not just him but his entire extended family may get really pissed at you, and next we hear, there's been an awful accident, or even a suicide, or maybe a damn Cobra got into your bedroom.

Thais have "mai bpen rai" live and let live attitude, you would do well to remember it. Not become a victim of trying to change it.

You'd better have deep pockets, because you are headed on a course of self destruction if not very careful. If you have a Thai wife, LET HER handle it.

Not everyone has a Thai wife ( or even wants one ) yet I have gotten fake doctors charged, noxious fires put out, an impromptu sawmill shut down, ( and neighbors criminally charged for processing protected trees.) Dogs shut up, rooster fights stopped and have lived through all.

Thanks for the advice though.

It is obvious from your reply that you didn't read the whole thread, so I will just repeat myself for your benefit

"I would like to add, although I will only own 49% of this company, more than a combined 50% will be owned by my own direct blood family (lets just say my father was involved here )"

And my Thai family are NOT some sort of low income lower class type, they already own a very well established company in Bangkok, and they would not want to see me being 'ripped off'

Your case is perfectly normal. I too opened the very same company 10 years ago. You have further complications these days as the companies financial liabilities are now a compulsory Thai affair and unlike before a Thai has to sign for libel on any company. You say your father? You mean her father! As for your last paragraph, i have herd the same thing a million times.

If you want to listen and do it the best way possible try this. Open a company in your wife's name and trade on it for 6 months creating invoices and legitimate transactions, you can easily create an on line store and shill bid on it. After 6 months tell her to apply for a mortgage. The bank will give her 75%. You then pay rent for 30 years. It cost about 17000 per month and you get a house, a wife and some children if you want them. My wife and family would never dream of kicking me out. I mean who will pay the bills??????????????

When I say my father, I mean MY father (not my partner's father), he was in Thailand many years before me (I'm just following in his footsteps ), he married a Thai & had kids, so I have a Thai Step-Mother & Thai 1/2 Brother & Sister

I'm not married to my partner so I will not be putting anything in her name (atm), if anything my 1/2 brother will become a director

I've recently aquired a single entry TR Visa in London, I have not as yet booked any flights but intend getting a one-way flight to BKK in the very near future (within 3 months of Visa date stamp), am I going to have a problem at Swampy without a 'follow-on flight, & if so will I be able to purchase a flight to Vientiane from there at the end of said Visa to get a follow-on Non-Imm O Visa?

You won't have a problem at all as you have a valid visa.

The only time you encounter problems is departing for Thailand on a one way ticket without a valid visa.

Thanks stoney, I can start to breath slowly again

On my last trip I did enter Thailand on a one-way ticket without a Visa, didn't have any problems at all, stayed for 11 months on Non-Imm O Visa's before flying out again

i find this very hard to believe i got a o visa three days ago because i have two kids

in thailand i am not married to my partner i think his paper work was incorrect or incomplete

My paperwork is NOT incorrect, it is the very same paperwork I have used on THREE previous occassions to get a Non-Imm O Visa in Vientiene, i.e. childs birth certificate, copy of mothers ID card, copies of house book enteries for both mother & child, as well as a copy of my current passport. They were not even interested in looking at my paperwork, just asked if I had a marriage certificate.

Where did you get yours, & were the mother & children with you?

How old is the child?

As Thai law is that you are not the father of the child as you are not married, and if the child is under a certain age then

you must apply to be recognised by the courts as the father of the child, maybe they are tightening up these rules and

giving the Embassies the rules to follow word for word.

My boy will be 2yrs old in March

I agree that there are only two methods in which to 'aquire' fatherhood for a Thai child, the easiest is just to marry the childs mother, & the 2nd is to apply to the Family Court for a Judge to decide. To cut to the 'chase', I do intend to marry the mother in the nearest future, but I need to do a few things before that will happen, as we 'all' know once married everything either of us aquire is owned 50/50.

So my 1st objective will be to create a company, & as I can only own 49% of said company, the other 51% will be divided up between 6-7 different Thai's that DON'T know each other (key point), this gives me control of the company, once created the 'company' will buy land & some vehical's in the company name.

With these objectives obtained I am more than willing to marry my sweetheart, & thus gain fatherhood for my son

There are 2 high profile cases ongoing of Farang who did exactly the same and both got screwed via forged signatures and dodgy lawyers.

I've been told that they are now looking into how companies are set up and that the Thai shareholders must show proof of their investment.This method was used years ago but I wouldn't recommend it now.

They look into everything these days so be warned!

Thanks for the 'heads up', as they say, forewarned is forearmed, I'l just have to make sure the 'appropiate paperwork' is all in order.

I would like to add, although I will only own 49% of this company, more than a combined 50% will be owned by my own direct blood family (lets just say my father was involved here )

what about visa non O in savanakhet still ok for non o thai child ?

As far as I know it still is not a problem to get a single entry non-o.

A multiple entry is only possible if the entire family is present when the application is done to prove you are living together as a family (de facto marriage).

I was told only yesterday at the Thai Embassy in London that unmarried farang's are NO LONGER ENTITLED to obtain Non-Imm O Visa's in regard to having a dependant Thai child

Perhaps not from them. It does not mean it is worldwide. You will find every embassy will have their own policies.

As I wrote before I suspect they might still do them if you had legitimization documents to show.

UJ, what do you think I took to show them? This week's losing lottery ticket? I have ALL the 'legitimization documents to show', I have obtain THREE Non-Imm O Visa's previously from Vientien with the same documents I provided on Wednesday, but they were not good enough this time, they wanted to see a valid marrige certificate, nothing else mattered to them. They categorically told me Non-Imm O Visa's are NO LONGER AVAILABLE for unmarried farangs with Thai dependents, their words, not mine
