They were up the creek without a paddle way before COVID-19. I get them up here, trying to approach me at the house to borrow money against their land. The problem here is they have no Chanote as they have already borrowed against it from moneylenders or the bank. So, therefore, they have nothing to offer in security, and usually, they know this, they are hoping we are gullible enough to fall for it. Sometimes just because they don't have an education doesn't prevent them from being crafty and sneaky as their survival mechanism kicks in. The mafias tend to be of Chinese heritage and know full well that the 'country bumpkins' won't be able to keep up the ridiculous interest payments. They use this as a method of acquiring the land cheap. It's a dog-eat-dog world.

What the government says they are going to do and what they actually do are two different things. Same with the Police, they don't go after anybody unless they see a potential payday.

Thai law as defined by 'Liverpool Lou? ' Oh, I get it now. My mistake.

If you are going to quote Thai law, It's illegal to pay anybody for sexual services, as prostitution itself is illegal.

He has nothing to do except jump on his keyboard all day, dissect posts and find something to disagree on. It must be awful being him and trying so hard to stay relevant. He rarely has any reason for disagreeing, he puts in one-liners, that seldom have substance, and disagrees for disagreeing sake. Sad really.

Pretty much spot on in my book. Loads of them going 'native 'and referring to them as minors when the age of consent in Thailand is 15 with plenty of grey areas and get out clauses if the parents don't get the expected 'pay off ' Those posters stating she was working illegally as a 'brass' in a bar, well that doesn't apply as all prostitution in Thailand is illegal, so there is no lower nor upper age limit on it. Anyway, as you all know, there is no prostitution in Thailand because it's illegal.

You talk half a story that appeals to the narrative you are pushing, which is usually nonsense. The only reason that Germany no longer has an extradition treaty with the UK is because of Brexit, and we are no longer members of the EU. Of course, it can be argued that Thailand is not in the EU and that's why Germany doesn't extradite, but that isn't the case. If the evidence is strong enough, they will extradite to a country without a treaty.. There is a raft of other reasons Germany doesn't extradite to Thailand. It's in the link. https://www.auslieferungsverfahren.de/en/laenderliste-englisch-fuer-auslieferung-in-europa-und-ausserhalb/auslieferung-an-thailand-ist-denkbar-interpol-auslieferungsabkommen.html

I believe if they do any type of investigation it will be a total whitewash

And you actually believe that there will be a full investigation into this? Yeah, and the moon is made of Swiss cheese. I believe nothing out of the mouth of any Thai policeman. They are just gangsters and thugs in uniform, they buy their positions and few know the law. That's why they always push people to accept charges.. that's if they havent the money to pay.

I would trust the UK police any day over the Thai police or the US police. Simple as that.

I don't do border runs, I have retirement extension, but I just like to save space in my passport. I actually did do one earlier this year, but it wasn't a border run. We crossed the land border at Chong Chom as I had a minibus booked to take my UK family to see the temples.

Then the Police should prosecute, but they won't. Too much of an income stream.

I see them in the village around here going up to the local hookers joint to sit with, and go with men old enough to be their grandfathers. I see them playing the Mia Noi to policemen and bragging about it, and all these are Thais. I also see 13 and 14-year-old girls with babies in tow to local village boys. A 17-year-old is not a minor in my view or in the view of European governments with their varying ages of consent, and certainly wasn't in Thailand years ago, when anything went. So distasteful as it is, she was out there putting it on a plate and prostituting herself.

Locals are the BIGGEST CULPRITS! What are you talking about? And there's a big difference between your 14,15 or 15-year-old daughters and a girl selling sex in a massage shop or dancing on a stage. She doesn't want to work in the fields in Isaarn and prefers the cash, sex, drugs, and rock and roll and the bright lights of Sin City like many of them. She isn't dragged there or handcuffed.

1. They don't have an extradition treaty. 2. For Germany to prosecute it must be an illegal act in Germany, having sex with a 17-year-old isn't. 3. Big Joke is trying to take the focus off the fact that his RTP took bribes to let him go. And that is also why they would never extradite him voluntarily for bilateral relations. All European governments are well aware how filthy the RTP is.

Absolute pieces of filth, and these prats are supposedly upholding the law. There is no law or justice in this country. The Police are just gangsters in uniform and the courts no better, as they go along with it knowing it is wrong. They are all morally bankrupt.

Definitely a possibility in Thailand.

And it would help your case if you read the thread fully and my previous answers to others before jumping in with comments that imply I was criticizing the unfortunate man.

Very droll. It's an urban myth.

I am sure there are plenty in the town or city where you hail from. He sold shallots and garlic, that's hardly Mensa material, is it?

Who, but the most adventurous or mentally challenged, would want a train journey like that after a long international flight.

They are not buying face, they are uneducated and trying to make ends meet. Many cannot read or write, let alone do arithmetic.

I have answered you with the easy way for Cambodia. If the Myanmar border was open, of course there would be fees, it is inevitable, but it isn't so it doesn't matter.

Hi, You are doing it all wrong for Cambodia. Apply online and pay direct to Cambodian government for a tourist visa 1 week before you intend to use it. It will be sent to your email in the form of a PDF, and you print it, cut it out and staple it into your passport. After your trip, take it out of your passport, and you have an unscathed clean page plus you have paid the correct fee to the Cambodian government online. Nobody will stick it in to your passport, they will just stamp in and out on a nearby page. I do it all the time. https://www.evisa.gov.kh/

AFAIK, If I am returning to the house where I have been registered for 20 + years from an overseas trip, I do not have to submit a new TM30.
