A member of my local community tried to open an account at Everex a while ago. He used his drivers licence for the KYC first but failed as it was expired, he then was encouraged by the support staff to use ID which he did but failed as he put a space between his first and middle name. He then tried (after further encouragement from the support staff) using his Passport. This also failed as he used a space between his first and middle name. The staff further encouraged him to try again without the space, which he did. This did not fail but he has been waiting approval for over a month. When support was contacted they replied that he is waiting approval as functionality in Thailand is limited and that he should use bitkub. (why the F*** did they not tell him that before they acquired all of his KYC ID data) stinks of scam to me. Identity theft perhaps. I would like to know if anyone in Thailand is using everex successfully? There are several other friends and family of this individual who would (could) have been customers of everex if he did not encounter these problems.

I would use something like Kraken and send the funds to your bank in Thailand in euro's. I dont think you would be breaking any rules then.

You probably cant find an answer because I doubt anyone knows yet. You are not allowed to use BTC on bx  bought in anything other than baht so you would be breaking the rules and leaving yourself open to trouble if they are looking.

So whats the latest on the turkey situation? I cant find any at Tops.

Any idea what the sentence would be for that type of forgery?

A sad story but probably not untypical. My wife has run up some gambling debts to a couple million. The problem is that she has forges some land documents in order to borrow money. The lenders found out about the scam and have contacted the authorities. She is asking for a divorce so the fallout doesnt land on me or our kids. She says she is just going to go to court and take what they give her. Does anyone know what she will get for a 2 mil fraud?

My son did it from Toronto to BKK a few weeks ago without any issues.

I would not want to eat pork fed with any soy. I would buy organic pork if I could get it. But not if it is fed soy. I would pay extra.

I am open minded to either side of the argument. Still waiting to be convinced either way. This article is very one sided, the case has been obviously poorly handles. Didn’t they find the boys semen inside Hanna. How did it get there?

Was he battered original or crunchy?

heartbreaking and sickening. They have to clean up the ya bah or this will only get worse. It seems to be getting worse every day.

I watched that video a few times, and my take is this:

The son inadvertently knocked into a Thai guy because he was practically unable to remain vertical being so drunk.

The Thai guy already annoyed by a previous guy, gave him a shove and because he was so drunk was easily toppled and fell over.

The Mother, reacted to seeing her son hit the ground and I believe misread what was actually just a drunken fall.

She went ballistic and humiliated the Thai guy by slapping his face first for something she "thought" he did.

Then it just all got out f control, and we all know the outcome.

I am not condoning it nor excusing it , but due to that initial misinterpretation, it got a whole lot serious very fast.

This is all to prevalent when people get drunk, their judgement is impaired and they make poor decisions. Late night, partying, Songkran over indulgence, wrong place and certainly wrong time. = Perfect storm !

I am genuinely horrified by the level of attack, there is NO excuse for it.

BUT the incident could so easily have been avoided, if people drank in moderation and didnt get into altercations whilst intoxicated as the result is predictably the same regardless of Nationality.

There is no such thing as delicate as a Thai man's "FACE". His mother raised him with the idea that he has a magic wand, and is beyond question, always right. The government encourages this with nationalistic views of "Thainess" as a quality rather than a fault.

At some stage Thais become aware of their rather low position in the pecking order and this makes them uniquely sensitive to any insult to their "FACE". Is it by chance that Facebook has among the highest penetration in Thailand, a way to boost your "FACE"?

Advice to all visitors to the kingdom: do not slight a Thai man's "FACE"...... It is very sensitive, delicate and easily hurt. The consequences were seen in Hua Hin, and the brain doesn't function when the "FACE" is slighted. You see it on the roads every day...

Fortunately, I profited from the Thai "FACE", as I made my money in luxury goods, helping inadequate "FACES" to boost their ranking!!!

As my Grandad said about fire, a Thai man's "FACE" is a great friend but terrible enemy.

Use it to your advantage!

What are you babbling about? It was just a bunch of hopped up goons looking to kick someones head in.

I agree 95% are OK but these scumbags make me sick along with the sickos on here who seem to think its OK to kick an old lady in the head.

thanx

I am a little confused about this TM 30 can someone explain what it is for and whether I need one? I live in a house in my wife's name for many years. I am on a multiple entry visa based on marriage. I leave the country every 90 days. I have a yellow book.

My father had pernicious anaemia and it is very possible that I will develop it. Can you buy the B12 viles over the counter? Needles? I have no probs administering myself if it comes to that. I will get tested first if I develop any symptoms. I do take sub lingual B12 occasionally.

I remember many years ago in Indonesia Java a place called delta Geko village. I felt a little out of place as there were so many older European women and many young Indo guys. They were female sex tourists. The same with Scandinavian woman in the Gili islands of Lombok. The Indo men call themselves crocodiles.

I couldn't legally purchase a vehicle until I got the yellow book.

Shoe sizes and shirt sizes are impossible for me as well (Western male). Too many generalizations and assumptions in this article.

​low in fat ... I even ask the butcher to remove ALL the skin that is visible ... goat meat ... is low in fat

​

What are your reasons for minimizing fat?

I just dont like animal fat...the taste mostly....have no problem with fat from macadamia nuts, coconut oil and the omega 3 chain. I even bought this fat called ghee which is clarified butter....i love it for an occasional omelette.

Im quite leery of putting away huge amounts of animal fat just because i saw it in a documentary...i would say my diet patterns centre around occasional animal protein cooked in olive oil or dusted with some ghee before grilling, and mainly vegetables and legumes that are lower in carb content.

Yesterday i made a dish with cauliflower, capsicum and haricovert beans....today a black eyed peas salad. Thats what i mainly eat....with meat once a week.

Have totally cut out wheat.....and 99% on sugar and rice.

Try reading "good calories, bad calories" by Gary Taubes. I doubt you will be leery after that. The problem with high protein is that once you have consumed your dietary requirements then the rest gets converted to glucose so you might as well just eat carbs. You need about 1 gram/kg of body weight of protein. If you imagine the hunter gatherers catching a deer or something like that. the muscle meat would have been very tough (have you had Thai beef) but the fat and organs would be quite easy to eat. Thats what has been happening for millions of years. Thats what our bodies are programmed for.

I've been on a keto diet for 2 months. Feel great I still have 1/2 spoon of palm sugar in my coffee in the morning but thats about it. Lots of greens coconut oil, butter and red palm oil. My wife cooks thai food with olive oil and instead of rice I steam cauliflower and mash it up.

why bother with petty details like due process or evidence.....just round 'em up and lock 'em up

Duh, they had arrest warrents. What kind of due process might you be talking about. Or did you just want to do some Thai bashing.

I might have to go off my low carb diet for durian season.

The only hassle is that we would have to travel to BKK, to apply for the visa. Its also high season in Amsterdam so Hotels that I looked into are double their low season rate. How would I apply for the appointment call VFS? How quick could we get the appointment? We are planning on going sometime in April so should be a good time for the tulips. She has health insurance but not the amount required for the visa does anyone have a suggestion for insurance?

I just stumbled across the VFS site which pretty much explains everything so looks like a hassle. Maybe Cape Town would be better. She has her heart set on the tulips though.
