Bad bad illegal workers. Bad bad.

Sigh

If you can overcome your melancholy, could you explain your post? Are you saying illegal immigration and workers is not so bad?

Show me the Thais who are willing to work in the sun moving bricks for peanuts.

What is the relevance to ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and ILLEGAL WORKERS?

Burmese without papers doing work that nobody else wants to do is not something I would interpret as "bad". That was my point.

Bad bad illegal workers. Bad bad.

I was surprised to see the chicken I have been buying the last couple of weeks from Tesco have had the correct weight on the packet. A year ago when I last bought this was not the case.

Good, abandon the project all together and start taking care of humans. When all children are fed and dressed and healthy you can move on to grown men and women and after that, if you have money and resources and energy left, by all means start pampering flea ridden vermin.

"Decriminalization of weed in Thailand" ?

Not in this lifetime.

Probably correct but why or why not?

Because 97% of the World population actually believe that marijuana is as dangerous and addictive as say cocaine.

Imagine if Thailand were to legalize and tax marijuana: The kingdom would become the World's number one tourist destination for young foreign backpackers, earning billions in taxes by selling the stuff for let's say 500thb per pack of 20 joints. Heck I'm sure people would even pay 1'000thb for a pack. Ironic considering the plant is indigenous to and easy to grow in the tropics.

So wheres the massive tourist boom in Cambodia? Not saying its taxed or legal but certainly hassle free.

Because it makes it a whole lot easier for Thais to understand you. Do you think fluent or near fluent English speakers massacre the language for fun?

And some wonder why farangs are stopped and searched on the streets!

Because one dude sells drugs in a gaybar? Yeah it all makes sense now.

Sorry, but I need both my hands and my flashlight right now.

Fleshlight?

An advice to the Thais commenting on Facebook.

You should be more concerned and examine your culture and habits before being so upset about 2 naked people.

Look into the domestic violence, rape of minors, abandonment of children and families and other wrongdoings, happening daily in your country and then start worrying about this.

Hypocrisy, comes to my mind.

Do you think just because they comment on the wrong of this that they don't care about the things you mentioned?

Rather hypocritical a foreigner coming to live in Thailand, probably with no aspiration to get citizenship or even permanent residency, and tell the Thais what and what not to do.

500 killed in traffic during Songkran. No one gives a sh1t

Hundreds of women beaten up every day by drunk/drugged men. No one gives a sh1t

Children are sold into prostitution every day. No one gives a sh1t

Most corrupt police force in the world. No one gives a sh1t

As for your comment about residency and citizenship just shows how little you know about Thailand.

On your yearly 3 week holiday?

Great post that sums up a large part of the insanity of Thailand.

So you have to be a good and virtuous person to call yourself religious? Thats the funniest thing I've heard in my life.

Depends on who it is and if you manage to get in the good graces of the police and later the court. This is Thailandia.

But its so much fun! Splashing water like a bunch of <deleted> 5 year olds and drinking all day and then jumping in the car or on the motorbike. So what if hundreds die?

I have 3 in a row from Penang.

Thanks for making me remember again the promise I gave myself to NEVER get married with a Thai, unless she is an orphan with no family.

Or marry one that has the sense to adapt to you or at least is willing to meet in the middle.

To the OP, you pay´d for the house so put your foot down for christ sake.

Main reason

Kraft cheese has been outlawed by the Thai government

As the item in question is not real cheese ie fake damages Thailands rep

They launched a probe into the cheese and this resulted in a crackdown in the hub of cheese. The cheese committee is working tirelessly to resolve this as we speak though.

I would rather like to think that death doesn't hold the same stigma as in the west. There is death and there is rebirth and no need for the world to end for the people involved because a life is lost.

I have a wild idea. Lets have a police force that is anything else than an incompetent, corrupted mafia.

Always funny when someone complains about enforcing laws.

It can be done in an effective and more delicate manner though, if they would use a bit of brain activity before executing the orders.

IT was never possible to "convert" an "ED visa" into a Tourist visa !

That is not really what he means to say though, poor choice of words I assume.

And this is important news to some as the times I have been to Penang recently the people at Banana have been particular about telling the scores of russians applying for ED visa that they will apply for a tourist visa for them if their ED visa application is turned down. So if some of those people have an ED visa that's finished or used up or whatever and are applying for a second, third etc. they could have a big problem, if the OP has correct information.

This applies to all foreigner of course and I cant imagine the small click of Thai visitors being over represented in causing offence.

The Nation fails to report that he makes a complete tit of himself while doing so. Compared to Big Tu's English ability Yingluck seems like a Nobel Laureate. View the country's embarrassment below.

He reminds me of some run of the mill semi-crazy dictator of some poor and under developed African nation.

My girlfriend was on a flight from Phuket to BKK last night and she called me after and said they had strong turbulence and a drop in altitude which resulted in some people starting to scream. I don't know how if or how much she exaggerated but she was genuinely upset. It was Lion Air btw. A lot of trouble with flying lately.

If this is about the thaivisa forum primarely then take a look at other message boards and internet in general. Not exactly a happy, positive and encouraging place for the most part.

I love it how the article talks so casually about spending money the equivalent of what everybody in a whole village makes in a lifetime.

So I guess the coastguard is going to be making some extra money in the near future, and I don't mean from the fines.
