I live in Hua Hin and never heard anything about this. Would have been nice to go.

maybe their plan was to not advertise it too much to avoid a repeat experience. looks more like a photo op with more photographers than punters. good luck to hua hin, great little town. i may look to retire there when i am pattayed out if it still nice and quiet.

this must be an old article. the good general fixed the problem with his magical powers some time ago.

this sort of monitoring should be done on all the establishment on a regular basis and the offenders should be fined an amount that hurts. only then can some positive results can be seen

no positive results will ever be seen. this is just for show it is not about enforcing the law.

her friend posted the evidence of her assaulting the cop, wonder why. they are playing the footage on thai tv and it certainly looks like she  is upset and instigating the fight. poor copper was just doing his job and end up with quite a few cat scratches under his chin. wonder how much the assault will cost her.

wonder what would happen if you recorded paying the fee on a hidden camera. would be interesting to see the results.

Accursed be War.

so true. is it really worth it all just to keep control of some oil fields or to profit from the sales of military equipment? we think we are so clever and advanced but we are still savages.

You can't compare Iraq to Syria.  Maybe to Libya would be better????  All are a mess for sure.

iraq, syria, lybya they all were considerably better off under a dictator than they are now. who knows maybe it will be good for thailand as well.

2.2 million people incarcerated in america. going to cost alot to keep them in government run jails. interesting turn in policy. pretty sure trump will be all for privatization if he wins. maybe he can even fund them with some sort of reality TV show about how violent they are.

Being able to do a 90 day report means nothing. It does extend your stay.

It is still is terrible advise to tell somebody they can stay. Are you willing to take the responsibility for it if he was caught doing it.

yes, i am going to pay all his fines and re reimburse him for any pain and suffering. i just told him what i did. it is up to him to take what ever advice he wants.

paying to release hostages is like paying your thai girlfriend to be happy. 

seemed to be ok for me. maybe doing a trip to cambodia for a few days then see if you can come back in on your non B just to be sure.

Or, quit indiscriminate barrel bombing of these areas.  Oust Assad is the best answer.

yes that will work, like getting rid of saddam. Iraq is a paradise now.

world needs to see more images like this to bring the human cost of these conflicts to light. thats one brave little boy. i was watching him on tv this morning wondering how my 5 year old son would handle the same situation.

rest of the world needs to learn from this and not be lied to. there is talk of nz raising the number of refugees and there has been a public back lash. west needs to stop handing out citizenships to those who are unwilling to fit in. using these refugees to prop up flagging birth rates is very a very short sighted idea.

i had to do a 90 day report after my work permit was cancelled and it was not a problem late last year.

more of the same old same old.  nothing will change. barely news worthy.

was just talking to my mate who is down in pattaya. said there is a crazy amount of cops and army around and his car keeps getting searched. cant be helping traffic congestion.

absolutely disgusting, hope she is punished to the full extent of the law for sharing this video. 

there are reports that foreign investment was down 80% in 2015 and down 90% this year to date. army is not going to give up power any time soon so i dont see things change any time soon. thailand relies heavily on exported goods that are produced in foreign owned companies using thai labor.

the standard formula is being used. we have a problem, we need to look like we are doing something about it, the problem is forgotten about. thailand needs to look at what vietnam is doing, seem all the foreign investment is going there.

suspect many reporters will be going through the re education system until they all become robots of the state. only free media will be the internet although there is still the single gateway ever lurking in the back ground to solve that.

i just clocked up 50 000km in my pickup and the front tires need replacing. i would have got alot further if i had been getting the tires rotated. adding in the spare to the rotation would have taken me alot further as well.

you should be ok to just do your 90 day extensions. i did this after i finished working last year and used the non B for 5 months before going back to nz to get my family visa.

this is the benefit from the visa and work permits being separate. school can cancel your work permit but they are not the ones who cancel your visa.

i will never trust a woman outside of my own direct family and so far i have not had any real problems. most guys i know have been kicked in the balls financially half way through their life and never get the retirement they worked so hard for. 

be really interesting to hear why these guys overstay.
