Stomach turning and disgusting.

New menu for those cutting back on food to keep money in the bank for retirement extensions!

so he must have been about 14 when he got the mother pregnant then ?

 

Seems silliness and sex runs strong in this family

 

They revised his age further down the story to 42 years of age, not that it makes much difference to the victim!

either pay a voluntary stamp class 3 £16 a week, or go self employed class 2 at under £3.00 a week, but class 2 may stop in the near future

Hi,

I am paying class 3 contributions as there is no other way with residing in Thailand. I am also clearing arrears but they only allow me to go back as far as 2006-2007.

How many years must you contribute for full pension? I am 57 and have 10 years left and have paid about 20 years.

My UK passport doesn't have biometrics or a chip in it

 

OK,

Then I am wondering how they can get you into the Thai biometrics system?

It's a question not a statement.

Well, here is a tricky one!,

His passport was in order as far as entry regulations go.

We now have a number of options here:-

1. Did he get stamped in without biometrics at a land border?

2.Did biometrics fail to pick up his new identity and match it to his old one?

3.Did biometrics not find and associate him with his previous identity, and Thai Immigration won't admit it.?

4.Are there any countries left around the world using old type passports that biometrics cannot match up?

5. Did he enter on a Ghanaian passport? as these are biometric!

6. Are any of these female IO's ex-girlfriends?????????

footnote:-

Recent developments. To conform to the recommended standards (i.e., size, composition, layout, technology) set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Ghana has issued biometric passports as standard since March 2010, though existing non-biometric passports were valid until November 2015.

It does not mention the age of the boyfriend. It mentions the ages of the men who repeatedly raped her. They could very likely be different people. Pregnant at 13 is not that unusual in Thailand or anywhere else for that matter.

Correct,

And the authorities have previously stated they believed as many as six people were involved in the attack around the time of Loy Krathong. The boyfriend, in all likelihood, was nearer her age and coerced or bullied by older Thai males.

Guy looks like a criminal.

And how come they let him board the flight in the UK with no VISA and no return ticket?

 

Why would he need a Visa when boarding in the UK when British nationals get 30 days visa exemption when they arrive at Bangkok?

on a one-way flight to visit his girlfriend.

 

So it look like his intentions was to stay there with his one way flight.

 

Before setting off he transferred £2,000 via MoneyGram to collect when he arrived. But when he tried to claim his cash he was told someone had already withdrawn it.

 

Sure, its easy to withdrawn by MoneyGram by others, or not ?

NOT,

If it was easy to make fraudulent withdrawals they would go out of business because people would not use their services.

Ha, hedge your bets, the same day they signed a new treaty with the US!

Exactly,

But they are past masters at that one.

They will agree to everything and anything with any of the superpowers and then renege and cheat on everything they agreed on in the first place. They called the Japanese close friends and allies, until they started losing the war!

Look at the fat little slink the deputy PM, Prawit, at the moment praising China for its South China sea ' initiatives '  There has been no initiatives, only China militarizing the region and making man made islands to back up a ridiculous claim to the whole of the South China sea, and intimidating its smaller neighbors. Something that will get much worse as China advances.

I wonder if it is due to the fact Thailand has no claims there? whereas Bhutan, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and others have!

We saw how difficult Thailand has been when the international court voted in favour of Preah Vihear belonging to Cambodia. They have since behaved with petulance in resolving this issue and are now nitpicking over a tiny strip of land. My God, how much land have they taken from the Khmer over the centuries.

There are good reason to use the international banks here like UOB and Citibank, they all have branches in Thailand, if someone wants to store his money (partially) on a thai bank account.

So let's get this right.

An international bank operating in Thailand with Thai management, at some levels for sure, and Thai staff cannot fall victim to theft?

Why is that?

For heavens sake.  Implants in Cambodia???

 

OP, there is a whole thread about prices for implants.

You compare sticky prices in a country where the exchange rate is very high at the moment with sticky prices in a country where the exchange rate is unusually low at the moment. 

Have you any knowledge or ever had any dental work done in Cambodia? I think not obviously by your remarks, well I have!

I suggest you research before negatively commenting!

A great deal of the newer practices in Phnom Penn use dental surgeons trained and sometimes from South Korea. Their services, pricing and facilities are outstanding.

https://roomchang.com/

Room Chang hospital is one of these and a leading dental practice, and I have had dental work done there. I had porcelain veneers done a couple of years ago and I still have them and I was told by a UK dentist that they were of good quality.

There are also a number of good practices in Siem Reap operated by Russian dentists that do all kinds of bridgework, root canal, implants etc

https://www.findclinic.net/dentists/cambodia/siem-reap/international-dental-clinic-siem-reap?cc=in

Check out CAMBODIA.  Phnom Penn has some very good facilities at a fraction of the costs of THAILAND.

That is completely unforgivable!

The person who did that should/needs to be jailed for life without any chance of parole.

Disgusting. A complete Sociopath of a human being.

What has happened is that the tourists who used to come for a laugh and playing up, have actually grown up, and it just doesn't appeal to the younger generation. 

Combined with the bang for the buck.

Then you have the military junta, the immigration officers, the corrupt system, police officers who don't know what their jobs are. 

Targeting the farang tourists. 

Plus there is a greater sense of greed and disloyalty in the thai women here.

Pattaya is an eyesore.

Constantly dirty. 

Constantly being dug up. 

Very little of what is happening benefits the tourists. 

Or retirees.

Best post on this subject yet in my view,.

Agree with everything you have said!

SPOT ON!

Thought Bangkok Air was supposed to the “Boutique” company not a cheap low cost outfit

 

When there is a chance of money to be saved on jet fuel, Bangkok airways is a budget airline.

When we are paying over the odds to fly to Samui, it's a boutique airline!

So much for non interference in ASEANs members domestic matters.

Birds of a feather,,,,,,,, when it suits them.

 

Agreed,

But he has done no more than grandstanding to try to say, I tried but they wouldn't let me fly there. A bit of a silly thing to do in my view.

He knew he was going to get rejected and made his plans and travel schedule wide open to anybody that wanted it, especially the press.

If he had seriously wanted to go to Cambodia , he could have flown to Japan or South Korea and from there on to Cambodia.

Also, there is no way he would have entered Cambodia with Hun Sen holding an iron grip on the country backed by his cronies throughout government, the courts and the military.

No level headed person would have gone back to know for certain they would have been arrested o the spot by the despot and thrown in jail. There, he would have had no voice and the outside world, apart from the odd meeting on the sidelines of the UN, would forget about him.

For what do you want to use it?

Which desktop operation system do you use? Apple? Windows?

And if you don't specifically want an Apple product then maybe it's better if you ask in the general IT forum.

 

I have an (by now) old Microsoft Surface tablet. For basic things like email and internet browsing it's perfect.

And if synchronizes a lot of things with my Windows desktop which makes it easy to use.

 

I use Windows and I purely wanted it to keep in touch and up to date with emails, online stuff, browsing etc and something that synchronizes.

My phone is a Samsung. I will check out the Microsoft Surface tablet.

Sorry guys, never realized it was an Apple forum.

I was reading another techy post that was listed on the top section on Thai visa when it comes to e mail and then just hit the post a new topic button.
