So how was it confirmed that Uttradit is Bignok?

 

because he started multiple threads daily or because he is boastful?

Nah,

it can't be, he can't even spell Uttaradit.🤣

I get hit on a lot. Walking in a park, in a shop. It's a nice feeling. 

I get it all the time, but it's usually in Nana Plaza or Patpong.

Buriram had 'best of Thailand ' additional prize money, as did the Bang Saen half marathon in December 

 

If sponsors wish to donate to support local athletes, that's their choice

 

I've competed in five Chanthaburi events in past three months - I'd probably support the 'no foreigner prize money' these are local events, locally sponsored, one in November was cleaned out by visiting Kenyans who took every cash prize, just popped in for a warm-up!

 

I would love to have seen that and been there to witness the look on Thai faces,

Kenyans just popped in for a warm-up and waltzed off with every cash prize.........CLASS!......🤣

Not sure which organisation you are running with but I guess it's a small one with small events.

 

The Buriram marathon is big. It has many foreign competitors. I don't think it's ever been won by a Thai.

 

Prizes paid out according to performance, not nationality.

As it should be!

I saw this going on very publicly in the bars in Ho Chi Minh.

I actually wondered what they were doing. It seemed a big thing in the bars down there.

I have just checked on the British Government website and British nationals can enter into a civil partnership with a Thai and even get married at the British Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam.

There are conditions and the process takes about 21 days, and you must remain in Vietnam during this time.

Neither of these two options are possible at the British Embassy in Bangkok.

This is what I was getting at.

So I apologize to myself, I was right.

OK, my error there.

I do remember a while ago now, a gay guy who went to Vietnam to perform a civil partnership with a Thai at the British Embassy, because he said he was unable to do this in Thailand.

So, maybe that's where I got my wires crossed.

Many LGBT+ couples went to the Jewellery Trade Centre (JTC) on Silom Road in Bang Rak district today, to register their union on Valentine’s Day.

 

They were among about 800 couples who signed up online to express their wish to register their marriage at the Bang Rak district office, but the site for registration this year was moved to the JTC, which is more convenient and spacious.

 

Couples in love prefer to register their relationships at the Bangrak district office, as ‘Bangrak’ signifies the land of love.

Load of old macaroni, A waste of a day, a waste of flowers and dresses.

Signing registers of weddings that are not valid.

They have been promising to recognize same sex unions for years, all wind and pi$$, even Vietnam recognizes them.

No need to be confused, it signifies nothing as same-sex marriages are not recognized by the Thai authorities who have been fudging this issue for years.

They pretend to be liberal and tolerant only.

Excellent news!  Welcome back Mr Thaksin 🙂

Walk free from prison? He never spent a night there. 

 

Walk free from luxury suite at the police HQ would be more accurate. 

 

Either way, bad news for expats in Thailand. Thaksin is notoriously anti foreigner. I wouldn't be surprised to see visa crackdowns, increased financial requirements etc. Bad news all round. 

I think foreigners will be way down his list of priorities for the next few years.

Be prepared for a sudden, dramatic recovery in his health.

Now get ready to be bombarded in the press to get his sister back to Thailand.

Let's see him, at every photo opportunity giving solemn Wais to senior monks, pictures of the King, any minister that will listen until he takes charge again, and the public, who his party sold out.

Stomach turning, the hypocrisy and nepotism that goes on in this country, without so much as a red face.

Sorry, I haven't had my morning coffee yet - could you explain that more clearly?

To obtain a driving licence you must provide proof such as previous licence, birth certificate, passports etc.

Having a ready-made fake driving licence with fake name, means where a driving licence is accepted as proof of ID, (most places) is that you have already done the above process.

It can enable the crook to get further IDs, open bank accounts under the new name etc, then you can move on to other false documents, and create a new persona.

My concern with that arrangement would be the local plod coming by for their tribute.  But it sure sounds like fun, even though I took the oath in 1988 and haven't had a drop since.  Great way to stay active in the community, even if I'd be that slug in the corner sipping iced tea.  Compare that the the tragic guys who die lonely...

 

Why not just join the Bridge club, play snooker, or go walking?

Cheaper and no stress.

Yeah I suspect it's someone bleeding her. Family member(s) most likely. I asked her not to give anyone other than her mom and daughters money but I'm sure she does anyway. I asked her to prepare a list of her expenses so I can understand how it's possible, we'll see how far that goes...

A bit late for that, lol. She doesn't need a sob story - she's already bleeding me dry. Can't get pregnant so that angle's covered.

That's what I'm thinking. They know she has a walking ATM and they're taking advantage of it.

 

Yeah, I don't really want a girlfriend at this point and don't need anyone to take care of me, so next one will definitely be the non-paid kind (at least not directly, you always pay in some way lol).

Family and extended family are the worst for busybodies, and also for coming up with get rich quick schemes that they want somebody else to fund.

In this case......YOU!

You have to be tough as old boots to take on the piranha pack!........ Fortunately, mine is!

Thousands of bars in Pattaya, and they change hands every year or so, after owners crash and burn with leases they cannot afford.

The guy is making a YouTube video and trying to say that the 200K might get some mug a sixth of his bar that is already facing big problems. By the look of it, he's basing it on the money he has spent and dividing it by six to get roughly 200K THB.

A sixth of a bar for 200K, they may as well wait until it goes bust. How much does he think he will get for second hand fixtures and fittings?

He goes on to say he doesn't want to discuss his personal stuff, as though nobody on YouTube who is a regular in Pattaya could possibly guess.

His best bet is to call it a day, get back to OZ and get working.
