  1. Contact your embassy and give the name of your next of kin , which, as described above by scorecard . You can name your partner, it doesn’t have to be someone in your home country. Give his/ her address if he/ she does not live with you. Then also make a last will and testament, and mention it his and the details of next of kin. I suppose if you have no relatives you would want this person to inherit your possessions ? If not ,´you must state in your will who you want as your beneficiary. just curious, why do you worry about dying unidentified ? Always keep your passport copy on you and a name of condo , and your partners phone number for example.
  2. Spain, Italy south, Greece, south of France.
  3. Same as general Min Aung Hlaing did in Myanmar seizing power and on the 2021 coup d’état, and imprisoning Aung San Suu Kyi who is 77 years old and will probably die there. Thailand have close Thais with the Burmese military leaders, as has been reported often in Thai national news.,
  4. The Thais are regular Houdinis when it comes to deals.
  5. Whatever, it’s good news , actually seeing these people being public ally caught and accused. I think BJ has done a great job , and Rooster, I like his smile as it is !!!
  6. Your last paragraph. Of course in most EU USA countries you can buy any luxury good you desire , but you pay VAT if buying elsewhere where the VAT or duty free has been deducted. Tax logic of course. Also it’s to support the countries / companies that actually manufacture those goods, keeping their employment and continuing the quality of luxury goods. Small example , designers the world over buy their precious lace from Alençon France. Brings in a fortune .
  7. Maybe he’ll cut a deal ? They like that don’t they ?
  8. If you have the receipt of object bought , you wouldn’t get stopped anywhere, except your own country of residence. How would they manage in France for example with every Tom Sue and Harry wear luxury items all the time ? If you come home to France with a 5000€ bag from,Dubai, then you pay the missing VAT if they catch you. So it should be only Thais who get searched for luxury items when entering Thailand.
  9. Cleaning staff and generally in hospitality, they work long hours, and cleaning bathrooms and changing bed sheets on a double bed is ok when you do just your own.Try doing 20 or more and see how your back feels. Restaurant staff also work hard long hours with no weekends off with the family. Hôtel and condo cleaners earn the minimum wage mostly, hard to get by on. Over the years I’ve seen how some of waitresses live, sharing a room with others and a trip to a shopping mall is a huge treat., I always give tips and on Thai holidays, Christmas, and presents, and the condo girls I have had appreciate a bit of help. Hotel cleaners too, I give daily, it’s a back breaking job. I also give to the genuine homeless as it breaks my heart to see kids go without. I regularly visited a Burmese workers camp near the club med in Kata Beach Phuket. Take basic foods , I bought a bag full of sarongs for the ladies, shorts and t shirts for the kids, flip flops, Yes, I feel I’m doing something even if it’s just a little bit, but to get a smile and a wai is the nicest way to realize how lucky we all are. Life isn’t fair, I know.
  10. Quite easy I would have thought. Every police man on the road with camera thingy . Fines to be paid direct to the tax office on a satellite payment device , or only at the police station with receipt. . For foreigners, obligatory tourist police or lawyer present. If you’re stuck in the sticks call to wife or friend. But they don’t want to stop it do they.
  11. He’s probably fainted from hunger by now !
  12. Have your cheese air tight packed at home, then put in freezer bags . I’ve always done it, the worse thing is they open your bags and confiscate.
  13. Thanks all. Mind at rest.
  14. As e cigarettes. Are legal in many countries, signs should be put up at every immigration booth saying so , with a picture. Let it be known to travel agents , airlines etc. This is getting more than ridiculous. Also, pay you fine , if you have one, at a 7/11 . Oh, great idea ?
  15. A lesson , borrow money, pay it back immediately. For such a small sum , you both must be broke. Not a good way to travel.
  16. What if you have no cash on you, or not much, and your card is in the hotel ? . I often go out with 2000B in my pocket , or less, if I know I won’t need much ? I also always carry a photocopy of my passport.
  17. Hi , I’ll be arriving BKK 2 nd March, on Visa Exempt and leaving on the 2 nd April , 32 days . Does the 45 days allowed include April as I read that it might not be continued ? I hope I don’t need an extension for 2 days ? i assume my entry stamp will have 45 days mentioned ? Thanks.
  18. Are you for real ? So you’re making tourists the reason why cops break’ the law ?
  19. From the above photo he had all the tech stuff needed for a YouTuber.
  20. « world wide » , bit of an insult that isn’t it ? Although it might correspond to the women you frequent ! Also, I think many western men should be given a wide berth, they can be just as lying , demanding , waste of space as the worst hookers in any country.
  21. Of course, especially while « medical* ( ha ha) cannabis is flooding the streets of Thai towns, due to government promotion of its benefits !!!
  22. Some of the most successful crooks/ fraudsters have had good backgrounds , education , careers etc. An official, secretary, nurse , bank workers can be just as crooked and thieving as a humble bar girl or shop worker , or anyone for that matter. I won’t add the positions of the worst culprits.
  23. Any good shop in Robinson or central will have cotton. I’ve seen loads of cotton t shirts, usually Reebok or Nike etc. Never had a problem myself. Lots of people choose synthetics because either they are cheaper, or easier to wash/ iron. Cotton bermudas etc can also be found in the malls in sports shops, like The North Face. Maybe decathlon. Wash with good quality detergent too. Helps . Another option is bamboo Lyocell which is natural. Ive got three dresses in it and I can go round bangkok all day , sit in taxis, and still look great.
  24. And they do cool keeping articles. The opposite from the thermal heat ones .
  25. I Hope he has proof of correspondence with this official. Did he even ever meet her ??
