Not going to happen. too much money involved now. He's just saying that to keep the anti cannabis brigade happy. just like the visa waiver for European countries never happened. That was just said to keep the tourist industry happy. Politicians job is to lie

You must have been unlucky, I have used them a lot over my 15 years here in Thailand and never had any problem except one or two time they were out of service (Empty on cash?)
Not more faulty than Other ATM's IMHO, but SCB Card less withdraw is the worst, have to enter your phone number and a 10 digit code sent to your app etc... take forever to take our cash (Unless they have updated last 6 months), BBL and K-Bank, prepare before approaching the ATM so app is ready to scan, Choose Card-less ATM, Choose Bank, scan QR, money come out, take seconds.
I've not been unlucky i think you've just been lucky more like. lots of people i know say exactly the same thing.

I remember that a few years back, a similar altercation ended in the foreigner dying, the heel having punched through the skull.
This would be indeed an attack with a potential deadly weapon. I wonder if we will read more about it, as indentity of the katoey must be clear to police.
🤔 I don't ever remember hearing that. Sounds viable I suppose but I'm sure i would have remembered it

Wow,if that would be a legal excuse Half of Thailand would be in the hospital and the other half in the temple!
A bit over the top of course but i mean there would be a lot of fights!
One of our neighbours likes to rev his loud bike at all hours of the night!
Am i going to complain?No way!He also empties his gun in the air when he is really drunk or high.
No way was it about just the noise of a motorbike. whoever said that is having a massive laugh and to then report what they said is just as laughable.

Kasikorn ATM's have got to be the worst on the planet. either out of order, or can't read the card. the other day one didn't even have any money "sorry no notes are available at this time" Brilliant an ATM that can't give cash out. Unbelievable
-
wouldn't the tourist handing over the note be shown on the cam as well? Although maybe would be too hard to see what kind of note it was.
-
As he was probably pissed it's likely the tourist did only give 100 baht. Thai taxi drivers are right scammers but I think in this instance it's probably a pissed tourist getting himself bang at it.

90 day address reporting is required when you remain in Thailand for 90 consecutive days. If you leave Thailand, the 90 day clock starts anew when you return to Thailand with the entry day being day 1 of the count. It has nothing to do with the type of Visa you may be using.
Yes i know but what I'm talking about is doing it in person. They say if you have left the country you have to do it in person and can't do it online. But does that mean left the country while on the current visa or not? As I'm trying to figure out if that's why my online application got rejected. As I have left the country but not while on my current visa.

The Pattaya City Expats Club has just posted this on their "latest Immigration information" webpage:
It also included a sign posted at Pattaya Immigration 90 day address reporting desk:
But when they say leave the country do they mean when on the current NONB or just in general? As i have left the country but not while on my current NONB. It isn't very clear really

Did you go out of the country? If yes then the 1st one is at an office.
Do you mean while on my current NONB? Because I've been out of the country but not while on my current NONB

"It should also be noted that the online 90 day reporting system can not be used if a foreigner is completing their first 90 day report" Does this mean every time you have a new NON B visa or your very first NON B? As i have had my address notification rejected but it doesn't say why. It's my first 90 day report on my current NON B but not my first ever NON B. So, I was wondering if they have rejected it because i need to go to immigration for the first 90 day report on this current NONB. If anyone can explain or knows it would be much obliged.

Ok. Well the same applies, Go away while it's on. Most other places don't have it going on for 4 days and i can imagine it would get tiresome after four days already.
P.S. No need to be such a snob about Pattaya either.

Its the ruination of songkran I object to, how many of these water chucking morons knew yesterday was family day and today old peoples day in songkran? Its all been bastardized on the alter of tourism and these clowns with water guns are the sort of visitors I want nothing to do with. They always claim the love Thai culture, while helping to ruin it.
Where do you live in Thailand? Because if it's Pattaya then that's how it is there. Most other places in Thailand aren't like that. One day and it's done. If you do live in Pattaya go away during that week SIMPLE!!

Well the upside for this sick POS is that he will die in prison where he belongs and when his new inmate friends find out what he has done well he's going to get what he deserves good riddens.
These days they're well protected and are segregated from other prisoners. So, They don't even get the kicking they deserve.

It seems not many people on here have seen the video but from what i saw the girls attacked him and he defended himself. I'm not justifying it, As personally I would have just walked away but the 2 girls aren't totally innocent.

That's not quite true. While there were jurisdictions that kept mask mandates going for longer, officially, Thailand had one of the world's longest mask mandates, running from March 26, 2020 through to June 23, 2022. While Hong Kong continued until February 28, 2023 with its own mask mandate, funnily enough Hong Kongers moved on from masks much more quickly than Thais.
Thais still believe masks work, which makes me wonder why they don't think "why are we the only ones still masking up?"
Two things... One. i did say they carried it on longer than most countries in brackets and 2. I've now realized it's an april fools as a few posters have pointed out. So, It doesn't matter anyway.

Honestly, I need to block almost every poster in the next 10 pages because (apart from a few), you all fell for this joke - time to count your brain cells! 🙂
Oh yeah! DOH! But then again it was quite plausible when it comes to Thais and mask wearing

It could be a throwaway comment and will come to nothing but would be interesting to see how this pans out because before when tourists had to wear masks here, everywhere else was(although Thailand did carry it on a lot longer than most countries) as well, so wasn't such a big deal. but now that, in general every country has ditched them. They might find tourists won't be so keen to wear them. Especially as a lot more people are probably skeptical they even do anything than when covid first broke out and people believed the masks did do something.

In other words..... they're under scrutiny atm so have had to put that on a back burner. the little brown envelopes are on hold atm.
Phuket Businesses Launch Free Electric Bus Service to Tackle Traffic and Pollution

I don't see how this helps the traffic problem and only adds to it. You can walk round old town in 10 minutes why the hell do you need a bus to drive you round Ridiculous. Sounds like this is just for the Thai tourists as Thais do not do walking under any circumstances.
