Not at all unusual for such things to be hidden in innocuous places. Same thing with phone scammers in India operating out of small office buildings. But you're the cybercrime expert, what do we know?

What a terrible injustice, misdirected penny pinching bureaucrats with no compassion. It's a crime against humanity.

While your comment may have merit outside of this topic, your lack of compassion for the woman in this story speaks loudly as to YOUR character.

About $8.00 US. They're welcome to it, if I had to pay, but I'm a resident not a tourist, retirement visa.

It's a shame they can't simply be treated as refugees from an oppressive dictatorship. I'm sure they'd be willing to pay for that privilege, rather than pay crooked Thai people.

That's 68 Russians out of 90,000. Nice start, only 89,932 to go.

From what I've read, US social security is not taxable. So I imagine I will file a tax return and provide Social Security documentation that my income matches the amount transferred here every month. That should require minimal math skills on the part of their tax dept.

And no one of your nationality ever behaves badly when drunk, and there'd no crime at all there?

You are correct sir.

I hear you. But this may have little or nothing with either prime minister themselves. These could be independent agencies. But I really don't know for sure, just a guess. But overall, this is another case of everything changes, and often not for the better. That's the way of the world, social entropy, moving toward chaos

Another case of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. Hopefully sense will prevail

Good advice. I make a point of not watching such things. I don't need those images in my head. bad for your mental health. Puppies and kittens for me.

Does the fact that heroin is illegal stop people from using it? Nope. But is that a reason to actually tolerate and promote it? Absolutely not. There are a thousand different addictive poisons out there, if you can discourage even one it's worth it. These are kids, they deserve to be protected. E cigarettes are a scourge. Cigarettes are a scourge. Cigarette addicts are self centered pigs with no regard for people who don't want to breathe their toxic waste. We don't need to breed more of the same only with a different style of poison.

By your logic, if guns are legal, then tanks and bombs (in the hands of citizens) should be. Right? Yes, I know guns are technically illegal in Thailand. All right, then if knives are legal then guns, tanks, and bombs should be, right? But you have to remember, the tobacco industry has immense unmeasurable wealth and is deeply entrenched. E cigarettes are relatively new and more easily controlled, and merchants are not as well organized with lobbyists and politicians. So if that particular scourge can be controlled, absolutely. We don't need kids getting addicted to anything, whether it's cigarettes or other nicotine products. Obviously you're a smoker and you sure wouldn't want anyone to take your filthy habit away from you. I know it's difficult, but see if you can wrap your mind around the foregoing.

Just like they no doubt love the Bolt app.

And the youth of other countries don't do this? All youth everywhere have always done this all the way back to when these substances first appeared.

"How come the death toll of loner falang tourists is so high in Thailand ? In no other country do tourists pass away so fast. " So show us your sources and your statistics. I haven't seen or heard any such thing. Did you make that up, or just not good at math? I'm a loner falang and been here 10 years, perfect health. So much for your statistics.

I'm sure if you asked them they'd be happy to tell you

Brush up on your physics. You obviously know nothing about flying or aircraft. And no, watching Top gun doesn’t qualify you as an expert. Any aspect of flying requires an overabundance of caution as a fundamental rule. Any seemingly lightweight object can be hazardous or deadly to an aircraft flying at high speeds of over 600-700 mph, not by “taking out an aircraft” but by causing significant damage to critical elements such as control surfaces of the aircraft or possible consequences of evasive action. The damage from an AK47 round (that’s a machine gun bullet) does not come from its size or weight, which are miniscule, but from its velocity. At jet speeds everything becomes a bullet. A chunk of urethane foam took out the space shuttle Columbia by tearing a small barely visible hole in the wing. . Bird strikes can break windshields and take out engines. If the jet has only one engine a flame out can be fatal. Anything that blocks a jet intake can cause a flameout no matter what it’s made of. A chuck of tire tread is what blew up the Concorde when it got sucked into an engine. If a piece of engine turbine blade breaks off it becomes an armor piercing projectile. Just being distracted for a moment by a collision with an unknown object can be dangerous especially in a one seater with only one pilot at the controls. Any potential emergency requires split second decisions and responses. This is not a war situation and no one is expecting to encounter any threat or risk, so these things can catch a pilot off guard. Now I realize that half of all your fun here comes from ridiculing Thai culture, but in this case you threw the egg into your own face. Good luck with your further education, we’re all rooting for you.

Fake water. Nothing to worry about. I believe that fake map you posted came from Trump's "Sharpie Weather Service"

Everything will be under water in "the future".

Do you always just make stuff up to post in comments? Do you do it to sound smart? Well it doesn't work, actually, quite the opposite. Better to actually think before you speak, and perhaps fact check.

I always wanted to take up scuba diving anyway

7-11 does not use QR codes the same way as other merchants and private parties. They have some other more tedious process that I don't use.
