when refused entry why didn't the brits move on more than one place to drink. In all of the years coming here and now living here I have never had a problem with thai bouncers or bar people. somepeople just do not have a clue. some people cannto go to their neighbors house without getting into a fight

Can't totally blame the Thai, as brits are aggressive and trouble maker every bar they go to even in Pattaya. Yes beating up someone is not the way to go.

To bring down the government revenue, sure Pattaya is a big target that will deter all the group tour coming to this town, WS, South Pattaya, Central shopping mall both north and beach road is also a possible target, had always avoided WS during the festivities. Beware of the surrounding and avoid tourist spot. Pattaya is just as vulnerable as anywhere in Thailand.

Use burner phones, VPN for mobile problem solve, just don't use phone to make calls 

Are those people getting paranoid or down right stupid or have no common sense? HK, China, Philppines and most SE Asian country you can just walk into any phone shop and buy the sim card without even showing the passport or ID. How about a criminal will pay some local to buy the sim for them and use it? if there's a will there's a way. Hong Kong is more advanced than Thailand, just walk into any mobile carrier store and get the sim card. It sounds like Thailand is becoming more and more dictatorship than democratic, even in China nobody ask for ID or passport to buy a sim card. It's more like all foreigners living there or visiting is treated as Second class citizen and criminals. Disrespectful to people who go to spend money in their country!

I often wonder what living in Nigeria is like. Does everyone there just steal all day long?

Yes, what else can they do? steal, rob or join the terrorist group, they have no choice.

So if a Thai does it to a foreigner TUFF LUCK. But they have Thai women trusting BLACK MEN? I don't think so. People love WHITE too much here. I just love the way all these BAD people rush to the police station to ASSIST. ha ha bloody ha.

You'll be surprised, that not all people LOVE WHITE here too much here, there are always exceptions. Seen many Thai women dating chocolate man.

What an idiot! Sandwiches are a much safer choice.

Cannot eat sandwit, I Thai must to eat lice!!

They changed again??? <deleted>....When I was there, they wanted me to get a letter from the landlord from apartment or hotel stating that I was staying there and that I was of good character, not causing any problems etc etc. And my visa was expiring like next day, luckily I knew one of the officer in the department and had to end up paying 3000b but it was worth it as I wasn't about to go go back and forth and as usual the hotel will take forever to give me letter.

I am forced to use ATM by my bank I flew back to Canada to set up regular transfers to my Thai account. I spoke to 2 bank managers and 2 finance officers and none of them knew what I was talking about they all told me they could not do it.So I flew half way across the world to set up bank to bank transfer to be told they would not do it. I was given a new ATM card and wished good luck. Such is the new world huh. I told the bank I know many foreigners from England,America,Sweden etc who can do . they replied while this is Canada we will not do i

You could do the transfer with RBC bank to your bank account in Thailand with Bank of Ayudhiya however there's still a $13 fees and takes about 1-2 days to appear in your Thai account, it's better to just pay 200b. $13 is more than 250b. That's just my suggestionn.

Agreed with everyone here, I don't know why any school in and around Isan or even Bangkok needs a degree to teach kindergarten english to the Mathyom 1-3 or Prathom 1-5, they lack focus, as they are busy talking amongst themselves and not give a damn about the lesson. My personal opinion to teach Thai english the only way is to give them daily usable vocabulary, reading, writing, no game playing and giving them weekly spelling and dictation test in the classroom. Worst is they don't even have books or notebook to take notes, if ask they look at you as though you are someone who are bothering and boring them.
