Check out the troll talking to himself between his two accounts. Posted one right after the other. Shameless.

It's still a very analog country. Whenever I do anything involving documents and signatures in Thailand (banking, immigration, applying for services, etc) there's always a paper copy of my passport attached with my signature on the photocopy.

Is that just for the branch that you go to regularly where they know you personally, or all BBL branches?

That's a good analog way if you can get all your visa and entry stamps and your passport picture page all photocopied onto one piece of paper. But then my experience has been that folded up pieces of paper in a wallet don't last that long. I also don't carry a full sized wallet anymore.

Just think about how dumb that idea is when you are living a life in a foreign country by choice, and only because it's a better life than in your own country, and when you can leave at any time. Just another over privileged, self-entitled twaat. But if you really feel that way, when your life is already jingle bells, then that sounds like severe mental health issues, and that you are way past your expiration date on living in a foreign country in the developing world.

Has she ever watched you glide up and down on the baloney pony? Just curious because she never mentioned anything to me about you doing the tube steak boogie.

Indifferent.

Surely they all agree with you.

Looks like you two are furiously busy fluffing each other off. I won't interrupt. Carry on.

I agree. But we aren't sitting around together in a pub privately having a few.

Making a bad word choice and sense of humor are two completely different things. I already said it wasn't the best word choice. Nuff said.

Fiction. I got fined in the 90s for forgetting to do 90 days. You can still do the same today. Don't do it if you don't want to. Just pay the fine.

Everyone here gives their opinions on posts that they like and don't like. That's the name of the game. It's really nothing here but that. If you don't like the how the game is played then don't take a seat at the table by tossing up some trite rubbish. If you put up trash like this then be prepared to weather the blowback mate.

This topic is such rubbish. Thailand bashing. Should be locked.

Been like that since the nineties. Nothing new. You knew what you signed up for so no need to moan about it.

Sounds terribly bleak. Better get out now while you still can and don't ever look in the rear view mirror.

Like you?

What a farce. Says who? Phuket gets more visitors than Pattaya ever year. People vote with their feet.

Only when I am reading another one of your posts trolling for Thailand negativity.

I meant it figuratively, probably not the best word choice. I probably should have said Reveler, Hellraiser or Rabble-rouser.

Zzz 😴

Tatoos aren't illicit. But it's still a bit of a cult culture. And it's a lot cheaper in Thailand than in the West, if you want to get a big piece done. So it is a draw for a certain type of unconventional traveler. Low cost alcohol, again, legal; yes, and not illicit, but Thailand draws a certain kind of denizen that comes to drink to excess and possibly get rowdy. It also seems to be an attraction for certain Europeans where alcohol is much higher priced in their own countries. I think they already lost their luster once torrents started dominating.

Yes, not sold openly anymore, but the Chinese tourists seem to still know where to find them.
