You said you met her on Thai Joop (dating site) if he is Thai Mafia and high ranking he will have contacts of course he will. Private detectives could be used I'm sure he will know a few. Then you met her on Thai Joop 3 months ago only 5 months after she effectively went into hiding. How long had she been on Thai Joop before she selected you!!! What is your age by the way.

I'm 25 and she is 30

i fell aslep after 1 second, whats the question again? 1 lump or two?

Maybe you should delete your Thai visa account then.

First question do you belive her???? Raped and then fell in love with him!!!!. Ran her own loan shark buisness with who's money!!!! Sure this is not a line she's spinning. Maybe she met a 60 yr old Farang and juiced him dry now moving on with tall tails.

If her story is true her Ex would have already tracked her down and dealt with the situation. Where did you meet her by the way.

I met her on Thai Joop. Just curious how one could track her down? Only a handful of her close friends know where she is.

Get real if big if!! High ranking Mafia and you ask how can she be tracked down??? So easy she is not exactly hiding now is she Thai joop. Now I'm wondering if she exists at all.

Do you know any 65 year old Thai men who can't speak English playing Thai Joop. South Thailand is very far from Bangkok. High ranking in the south does not mean he can reach all over Thailand. Anyways up to you, you answered my post. If you don't believe me, don't reply.

At best, this is a prelude to a request for money. At worst, you're getting into some pretty deep stuff. I'd get clear if I were you.

We've been together for 3 months and she has never asked me for money. She even bought me an expensive watch for my birthday 3 weeks ago. But I'm thinking too much drama and maybe danger.

Yes, exit stage left. There is no way you can protect her or yourself, besides all the stuff she says belongs to her was paid for by the other guy. He probably feels he owns it all, as well as her.

Apparently she ran a loan shark business before and earned the money herself to buy everything. I asked her where she got the money to loan her customers and no answer.

My current girlfriend has just revealed to me her ex boyfriend is a very high ranking Mafia member in the south. 8 months ago she ran away from him to Bangkok. She owns a house all in her name and he changed the locks so she can't sell it or rent it. She has 2 cars and he has kept 1. That car is in her name but because she can't get it, she stopped paying the bank. The bank is afraid to go reposess it. She tells me he does not know where she is now. Here is the real kicker. He is 64 and she is 35. That might not be so bad now but they met when he was 45 and she was 15. Apparently he befriended her and convinced her to go to a motel and then raped her. After some time she actually fell in love with him and they stayed together for 15 years. Anyways now she wants to get her house and car but is too afraid. This is too much drama for me. Should I exit stage left??

I wonder if the hospital will hang onto the body until the bill is paid? At least bringing the ashes home will be cheaper than an air ambulance.

An absolutely stupid comment.

This is a real problem. Photo yes or no?! How can this be solved? Very difficult question, need to be discussed in deep.

Normally I print out 3x3 photos and if I need more than 9 it is a problem for me.

Well, if you are not satisfied with answers from the gods of Thailand immigration on Thai Visa, perhaps you could ask the makers of the form. Yes, wow, call immigration and ask. But be warned, that asking a stupid question will net you a stupid answer. Put a dam photo there. There is a spot for one.

It's time for the Army to sort out all the police in Thailand, major cause of crime itself. When I see the Police, I see mostly corruption dressed in brown.

I'm sorry but you can't say all police are corrupt. I'm tired of listening to the whining from TV members about the BIB and tea money. There are good and bad cops, end of story.

I mostly agree with Jacko, it's all part of the mix - along with temples, beaches, spicy food, ladyboys, shady characters, bad English, etc.- that differentiates Thailand from other destinations, gives it a certain "frisson", if that's the right word, and draws people here. I can never understand people who come to live here, then complain because Thailand is what it is.

There are good and bad points in every country, and Thailands good points far outweigh the bad.

Imagine how great Thailand would be if most of the average Thai people had even average intelligence.

What a racist comment.Imagine how great Thailand would be better off without you and your ilk here.

I am only telling it the way I see it, ie, the carnage on the roads, I would guess that about 80% of the adult Thai population either drive or ride motorbikes, and most of them, yes most, have very little common sense on the roads.

That 80%, with the same little common sense, are also working at their jobs or doing other things. Go figure.

If you don't like Thai people we can point you in the direction of the airport quite easily. Flights are getting cheaper by the day. But wait, you need to save up the 20K to pay your overstay fine.

Fascinating the difference in respect for the laws on different subjects here on TVF:

On overstay? Deport them and blacklist them if they can't follow the rules.

Blowing weed in Thailand? Lock the idiots up- they knew the rules.

Working without a WP? Lock them up then send them home if they can't abide by the rules.

Drinking on Buddhist holidays? Don't you dare get between me and a tourist's God given right to get drunk on holiday.

Frequenting hookers? The Thai economy will collapse if I can't get cheap sex. Collapse, I tell you!

You my friend have hit the nail on the head. The best comment I have seen in a while. 100% accurate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Accurate because 99.9999% of whiteys are mongerers. [emoji39]

99.9999% of TV members you mean???

I visited Pattaya one time and was out for a morning jog. It was 10AM and the local bars will already filled with customers. Not tourists but grumpy old men living in Pattaya, drinking beer, waiting for their favourite bar girl to wake up, and surfing the TV forum to comment. A whole new meaning to happy hour, reinvented to happy morning.

I knew this story would be about cats, but what a moronic and childish headline that I'd expect from Coconuts.

I saw a pair of identical cats this morning, too. They were both black.

The headline Is from Thai Visa who is widely known for the headlines not matching the story. In this case it was just an attempt a humor.

Why so many immigration volunteers in Phuket and Pattaya when there are non in Bangkok? Especially Phuket must have ten. And what's there real purpose? They don't do any visas or extensions. So are they just there to show you where to line up and get your forms or?

I have seen many volunteers in Bangkok Immigration. They often work on the side where they give out the tourist visas. You won't see them on the side where they do the non B or non O

Quite scary that they can just go into your home and check without a warrant or anything. That they want to check for people overstaying.. ok but a house to house search for substances is crazy.

Under Thai Law, police have no right to come into your home unless they have a warrant or you let them in.Things might be different under current martial law though.

Passports can be checked at the door.

Could you please quote the code, chapter, section, and clause number for this so called Thai law you refer to. Thanks in advance.

Must be because farangs aren't regarded as persons.

I'm sick and tired of these stupid comments. This is Thailand and The Thai gov't will do whatever they want to protect the business interests of their people.

Wow I love it. Thai visa is taking a piss on its members. 555555. Take the advice of the op Thai visa in this case. If you don't like Thailand, you know where the land borders and airport are. Classic classic classic!!!!

Consult with a Thai immigration lawyer instead of seeking free advice from a forum full of expats who are more concerned with debating than helping the people that post.

This is because Thai ladies don't use websites very much anymore. Thai people in general use mobile apps such as we chat, Facebook, Bee talk, Thai joop, Thai friendly, and skout. All these services are available via apps on smartphones. Good luck.

Don't go to any place unless you are sure you can bye the true name brand. This is the reason why I bought a Mac book air. Secondly, no viruses and much more reliable with the longest battery life. Warranty is honoured internationally. It's been 3 years and mine is still going strong unlike my 3 Acers bought in the US which all died just after the 1 year warranty expired. Well worth the extra cash, was about 32,000 Baht at the time from Istudio.

Give it a rest. When the police don't do their job, everyone on here complains. When they do their job, you complain it's just for show. Getting old!

Thanks for all the responses, some which are quite entertaining. Last night I went to pay my latest AIS bill which I received a few days ago via SMS. When I wanted to pay I was told my balance is ZERO. Obviously AIS started to credit my account for the remaining part of the money they stole from me. I assume the next bill will also be zero, but lets see.

Some comments above suggested I play Thai and just move on. If we all play Thai and move on, can you imagine how much money AIS and others are taking from us? Millions. Yes they only stole 1600 bath from me. For me and you it's pennies and not worth the effort to complain. If they, and they do, take small amounts from millions of subscribers and we all just say "move on and don't waste time", we allow these companies to make great profits from stealing our money.

Sorry I'm such an anal consumer advocate but if we don't stand up against these fraudulent companies, they will make more and more money off us. Even in Thailand we should not allow this.

Details if you are interested:

1. AIS first said I agreed to this 3rd party service via a phone call. I told them to tell me which number called me as I answer no calls unless I know who it is. I get about 1 call a month from friends. I only chat or call via LINE or WhatsApp or FB.

2. Then they said nope, it was a website that I visited and agreed to the service. This must have been a Thai website because the service is in Thai. I can't read or speak any Thai. I told them to stop the excuses.

3. I asked for details about this 3rd party service. On a phone call they said they don't know what it is even I gave a reference number from my bill. They once said it may be a Thai news service via SMS. I can't see any such news service via my SMS's.

4. They keep saying I should take this up with the 3rd party provider. I told them I have NO contract with anyone but AIS and AIS is the one who charged me ad I keep AIS responsible.

Its just so obvious this is fraud. Sure I'm anal but I squirm to think how this adds to millions of extra profits to AIS while most Thais and some non-Thai just say "it's small money, don't waste your time so move on".

BTW, my lawyer said that AIS will give in when I threaten to take this up with the Consumer Protection Office who apparently does work to protect all consumers in Thailand. My lawyer was right. AIS gave my back my money!

Lets keep them honest, even if it takes a bit of effort! If we all don't budge until they refund us they will stop this shit.

Bests!

Look mate. I'm sorry to say but you are dead wrong. Number 1, you kept your cellular internet turned on and clearly don't know how smartphones access the Internet for things such as push notifications and so on. Secondly, you clicked on a link in Facebook or another website. It took you to a Thai web site where you clearly click on something and hence the charge. It's automatic charge to your number. This also has nothing to do with AIS except for billing you for your actions on a third party web site. Don't blame the carrier for your ignorance of how the Internet works or how smart phones work. Why the heck do I bother with this forum? What am I doing? I must be bored and it's pissing down rain now, I guess that's why I'm here. 5555

i had a similar thing a couple of years ago, i put 100 baht a few times on my phone, and next to no time i had no credit, although i did not make any calls, i rang them up, "oh we charge for internet accesss" i never asked for that, i do not bother with the internet on my phone. i have wi fi in my condo for that.the guy was surprised he said "everyone use internet on their phone", well not me buddy. , i do not want this, and yes i never got my money back. A.I.S.

That's because you had mobile data set to on so of course smart phones use data. This was totally not AIS's fault. Please learn how to use a smart phone before complaining. Obviously your phone showed mobile data being used. Come on man! I'm not being sarcastic but come on!!!!!! You can learn many things on Thai visa tech. 5555
