I would contribute.

Yes, try that and /or get a ticket sorted out on a direct flight home to Greece. some empathy needed here. He has obviously tried and failed with Thai doctors. Hopefully he has a friend to accompany him at least for a ticket and help to check in. He could have assisted help at airport if booked. That’s what I would do.

Hasn’t Thailand had enough of this ! And you wonder why Thailand has a rotten reputation ? Carry on much longer and Thailand will be venue only for drunks, weirdos and druggies.

If anything happened anywhere, I’d just stay out the way , or in a case like the last coup in Myanmar, leave at once. I’m not that person who joins in the chaos .

Cambodians are important to Thailands workforce. They accept the worse jobs and work conditions, that most Thais refuse. Without the Burmese and Cambodians I dont know what Thailand would do. The Burmese of course come out better of the 2 countries, as they often speak very good English.

Comes at a very suitable time in my view. Though I know from reading online that Cambodia does absolutely nothing to stop these call centers. Hun Sen being one of the worst criminals, his origins were with the Khmer Rouge . Myanmars government. Min Aung Hlaing must be one of the worst and most cruel.

Has anyone been to Sihanoukville lately ? Since the start of Covid it is empty with buildings you don’t know if they’re building or falling down.Mostly abandoned, the Chinese were called home by Xi Jinping !!!

Depending the series , from 20 000€ to 80 000€+

6 million ?

No, it was William Tell.

I believe that it’s due to wanting too many , for a starter. Then, Thailand has gotten itself a rotten reputation ! In your face prostitution, fighting ladyboys , and drugs galore ! It won’t get better . Thailand , you reap what you sow !!

You could have a guessing game ?

As a family on holiday told me, the bare foot bare backed guide tried to explain to them how the boat trip would continue, and told them to get on the boat and the *hostages* would take care ! This was actually written on the pamphlet, we had a good laugh.

That place is the prize winner for scams. Nothing new. Some tourists I met and talked to at the Jim Thomson house compared their experiences. They said after 30 mins being shouted at and repeatedly asking for 5000 B they turned and left, as everyone should but it’s a morning lost for them and a bad experience of Thai curtesy. Jim Thomson house is on the contrary, fabulous, I went in the 90 s it was quiet then, now there’s a constant file of people , but it’s really beautiful, a treasure. The government should have a word with the Thai floating market. Anyone wanting to see a real floating market which actually works, is Cai Rang in the Mekong Delta , it’s amazing, loved it. Vietnam has some treasures too.

He did, he stated yesterday that he could make it public if Thailand wants, that there was nothing untoward on it.

I always ask for no sugar in my stir fried meals. No problem.

My proposal is put the hub of Cannabis on Soi Bangla and build a wall around them. Phuket authorities, You have ruined your once lovely island, shame on you.

Good lord, the article has taken Thailand back to the century when kings rode elephants into battle or whatever. The PM called the army * opponents *. So ? Where Thailand is concerned they are. Hun Sen offered to make public the call which was seemingly quite innocent. Storm in a tea cup. More proof that the Thai are a country of adolescents.

Such a shame that a fair election cannot happen in Thailand. Hopefully Thailand is strong enough to do the right thing and bring in real democracy. If not, then Thailand will stay in the dark ages and never evolve.

I don’t think Thailand needs more tourists. On the contrary, Thailand is a mess. If you’re an expat you sort of get used to it, and certain things that bother tourists don’t interest you ! But for people who have been to Thailand before, especially a long time ago, it’s not paradise anymore. The world is big, loads of interesting places to go for tourists, not always the same old. You’d swear the sun only shines in Thailand, far from it, the once beautiful beaches have been totally invaded and polluted, and the Grand Palace is something to remember yes, for its kilometer long queues, a sour welcome, and scams galore. That’s the way today’s tourists look at it. And let’s not mention the in your face prostitution, it doesn’t exist, does it ?

Who can live on this amount ? I don’t wonder a minute why girls ( and boys) end up in bars etc. With 3 to 4 thousand going on lodgings, some share yes, but not all are single, some have a partner and or kids. 2 wages ok, one person living alone is hard. I think it’s disgusting, I know a lady of about 30 working in my usual’4 star hotel. She looks after her mum and her mum looks after her daughter of 6. She holds onto her job for dear life , lives in the slums, and wouldn’t dream of working in a bar etc. She told me she earns more in hotel room cleaning than in shops or 7/11 because of tips. I always tip when I think people deserve, accordingly. I also leave lots of things for her family when I leave.

From the OP, they need verification of earnings, and 5000 B . without exclusion , means what ? My excuse if I read wrong.

It’s all over the International news that the conversation was leaked to the press. They are predicting trouble ahead. Headlines this morning in world news.

I stayed in Phuket for 20 years , albeit 5 EU winter months, and 2 years Hua Hin. I much prefer Pattaya, although the beach water is dirty. I swim in the pool. You don’t have the sex workers unless you go looking for it. Don’t take the kids out to certain soi’s , and avoid the center town promenade i. Plenty other places to walk if you wish. Then you have Central Festival , Terminal 21, big supermarkets, good restaurants. Traffic you have anywhere in Thai cities, Phuket is worse, and Hua Hin on a weekend too. Chiang Mai pollution is famous, Hua Hin boring, and Phuket highly overrated and packed to the rafters. A nice house in a quiet area of Pattaya , plenty suggestions above. Question, where would your wife work, area , can she drive ?

No, she’s to serve 3 years MINUS the 92 days already served.
