Frist Pattaya is not Thailand! So where were they in Pattaya that all these Indians were harassing them? Pattaya is a big place, did they go to the zoo, aquarium, botanical gardens etc.. or did they go to walking street or one of the other soi's known for prostitution?

where did you get that idea? So you believe that the tourist and the Park Rangers are all on yaba? I think you need to stop hanging out with bar girls, not everyone is on meth.

keep wishing, most of them pay a protection fee. brown envelopes all around!

Frist clue, entering illegally. You know they are called illegal immigrants, illegal means your a criminal as you broke the law. I do understand your confusion with the democrats changing the term from illegal to undocumented.

dont forget,,, They told everyone that they should buy a Tesla to save the planet, oh....but wait, now its a bad thing to own one, they dont check or care if you're democrat or republican if you own a Tesla you're a Nazi.

yes, and all you need to do is hunt around the States to find a judge that will do what you want.

You dont understand, the Trump administration / The US government is up holding the law. (the pervious administration didn't , open boarders come on in... we'll give you cash and free place to stay) These people are illegally in the county. I still dont understand why people dont get this. It's ok for Thailand. Vietnam etc etc etc to detain, deport people that overstay or enter illegally, but the US should be different and just let people overstay and sneak into the country.

This shouldn't be a big deal for the normal tourist, but this isn't aimed at them. Also, This isn't new, it's just they haven't been enforcing it for what....the last decade or so. This is Thailand and this how they set things up for IO's to make money. actually this is easier, it used to be you had to have cash, no bank statement was accepted.

Jingthing I agree with some of the stuff you post, but this Trump hating is making you blind. When has a republican stated that a man can get pregnant? Did you see Biden's interviews?? There was a reason he was forced out! let me ask you this, how many genders are there? Please dont say unlimited!

Biden didnt win!

and there it is,, you guys just cant help yourself, just had to throw in the Hitler thing. Several billion dollars in deals coming out of the middle east, working on bringing peace in the region, but yeah he's Hitler!

Always dragging politics into things. So, now that we're here, when was he convicted of Rape? I dont care for him, but facts are facts and everyone keeps calling him a rapist, but I dont recall him being convicted of rape. He was found liable in a civil court case for sexual abuse (totally different from rape) . Note: A civil proceeding is brought on by an individual who believes they've been wronged. Whereas a criminal case is brought on by the government (state / Federal) for a criminal act. Two very different things with allot less evidence required for civil court.

I loved that he said " Honey" Can you image if he said that these days. It would be all over CNN and he would be cancelled.

Who's calling other people Nazi's / fascist?? Who is out keying Tesla's and causing damage to Telsa dealerships?? What group is supporting Hamas and shutting down Universities? I have democratic friends from grade school that are no longer friends with anyone that supports Trump. You try and discuss a topic and they have nothing to say just start yelling that you're a Nazi.

How stupid, like only black people live in Africa. We are talking less than a plane full of people (59) No issues when Haitians were coming to the USA. The U.S. government resumed the Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program in 2022, allowing eligible Haitians with a U.S.-citizen or legal permanent resident family member to move to the United States while their green-card application is pending. In January 2023, the Biden administration extended an immigration parole program initially reserved for Venezuelans to Haitians (as well as Cubans and Nicaraguans) who have a U.S. sponsor, apply in advance, and travel by plane. The program allows parolees to reside and work in the United States for two years. Through September 2023, the 85,300 Haitian parole recipients represented the largest group of beneficiaries of this process. Also, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which grants temporary work authorization and relief from deportation, has been redesignated and extended for Haitians, covering more than 116,500 Haitian-born individuals as of March 2023. The left believes It's bad to be white these days. If you're a white male, well...you're the devil which several congress women like to claim (Ilhan Oma, Jasmine Crocket). My nephew's son was told in school he's privileged because he's white and he should be ashamed of that. (He's home schooled now). Millions of illegal immigrants in the USA and you're upset the US let 59 people enter legally.

So it was ok when Biden was trying to make a pact? ( The Biden administration tried but was unable to close a defense pact with Saudi)

I need to check into the Arthritis thing, my wife was diagnosed with Arthritis a year after her vaccine. One of my brothers employees has issues with memory. She is sure it's from the vaccine as she has never had any health issues. She is only 53 yrs old in good physical shape, gym 3 times a week, golf, tennis etc. She's been a healthcare insurance agent for 17 years and now she cant remember anything. She failed all her tests to renew her state insurance license and failed her annual Medicare certification. She's lucky as she is financially stable but she is really messed up, it's like she not even the same person.

well, that's obvious!! My question is why do you hate everything he does? Do you hate me because I support what he's doing? Am I racist or like the Dems love to throw around, am I a Nazi? ( my last name is Reich, but I'm still not a Nazi) Like I said I dont care for him, but I agree with allot of what he's doing. Do you think he shouldn't deport illegal immigrants and work on equal trade agreements with China? I know I tried to setup shop in China and hit road block after road block, Finally I found a good Chinese partner and was able to get production setup. Thailand wasn't much easier but was workable. Maybe you didn't realize this was happening like most of the world.

I dont understand how the judge did that, unless you have a lease. Did you buy before the marriage? A house cant be registered in a foreigners name and a foreigner cant own land, if purchased during the marriage the foreigner needs to sign documents that they have no rights to the land and gave no money for the purchase of the land. If you have a lease then yes, she cant kick you out, but you're only protected until the lease is up. I've seen over the decades that the house doesn't sell and the wife ends up moving in, or she never moved out in the first place, Many houses sit for years never selling or sells way less than what was invested. I wish you and your daughter luck! it sounds like your doing the best thing for your daughter.

So why wasn't Lincoln in trouble? Qatar is offering the plane, same as Siam offered Lincoln the elephant tusk. When did trump accept the offer? I haven't heard he accepted it..

A smart guy like you and you dont understand how negations work?? How did he cave? or did China cave? The Trump administration has been saying for weeks that they are waiting on China to talk about tariff's, So he's been waiting for China to come to the table to talk about things. I think it's just more that you dont like Trump. I feel sorry for the people that hate or dislike trump so much that no matter what happens its wrong or a problem. Friends stop talking to each other because one is a trump supporter and the other isn't. Even family members not talking to each other. It's crazy. It's like, if I love Cholate ice cream and you hate it therefore you hate me. Do I like Trump, No, I think he's a loud mouth, look at me, I'm the best, know everything type of guy. However, He doing what's needed to be done for a long time. It's not just about the tariffs itself, it's actually allowing markets to open. This wasn't just China, look at Australia they have banned imports of beef from the USA for decades with a lame excuse of mad cow disease. Meanwhile millions of US citizens eat the same beef with no issues, UK, Germany, France etc had tariff's on US products. We had free trade agreements but it seemed it was only one-way. You as an expat in Thailand should understand how Thailand puts tariff's on everything and makes it difficult for expats to do business in Thailand. (Granted being a USA citizen was actually a benefit in Thailand, as I was able to own more than 49% - but that was it, I still had all the other issues being an expat running a business) Same goes with China, but China makes it even more impossible with all the bureaucracy. So it's not just about tariff's.

So it's racist when Thailand deports people that overstay? You do understand that the people in the USA that are being deported entered illegally.. Why is ok for other countries to enforce their laws but when it comes to the USA enforcing their immigration rules its racist. My wife is Thai, got a green card and then US citizenship, so how did she do that if the US is racist?

I agree with you, that if the idea of this topic is that this cant be done in Thailand is incorrect. My company transferred me to Thailand back in the late 90's. After a few years I started my own thing and did very well in Thailand. We actually ended up selling and semi-retiring several years ago. I also have several friends in Thailand that have started successful business. However, I know many that have failed. Mostly getting into something they had no control over, had no idea what they were doing and depending on a girlfriends to arrange and interpret things. 98% of the time this doesn't work.

Nick, I agree with you most of the time, but sorry not in this case. You know nothing about where this happened, what happened. You haven't been there nor spoke to anyone, so you know nothing about what happened other than this story. let me explain like this : It's like seeing a person go into a bank and then come out 5 minutes later. You can say they most probably went in the bank to deposit or withdrawal money. however, with your "most probably" it's like saying the person went into the bank to rob it and then changed their mind and came out. You have absolutely no information on where are what happened, but guessing what you think is happening.

yes, "most probably" means = you're making things up!
