British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
NorthernRyland replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No way that's going to happen or this is the end of foreign investment in Hua Hin then. Image spending millions of baht on some villa and then when some local thugs decide they own your land you can beaten and then jailed by the authorities. That's simply too incredible even for Thailand at its worst. -

sounds like common thugs to me. Claimed a dispute over boundaries, which is normal and can happen and instead of dealing with the authorities they used violence and intimidation instead. -

Isn't Thailand always worried about reputation when some fights break out and these things? They should be on red alert for these kind of international crime stories when actual high quality expats want to retire and spend big money in their country. This should have been escalated to the highest authority and squashed immediately. -
British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
NorthernRyland replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
One of the articles said "However, in a shocking turn of events, the pair say 15 police officers raided their home and they were arrested on counter charges of causing "superficial injuries and mental anguish"." Foreigners get in fights in Thailand from time to time but do they ever have 15 police officers raid their house over it? Something seems rotten in Hua Hin. I wonder if the local police force is trying to pull something. -

OK read the article it sounds like their land was next to some low class thugs who decided to use intimidation to get some land that wasn't technically theirs. It would be shocking to think they couldn't settle this very easily and without all these crazy legal fees, which apparently are in the millions of baht. Something seems fishy to me there. -

I want to hear more about this land dispute. What could have happened? Before you build anything you obviously need to define your property boundaries and any disputes should have happened with the land office involved. -

Having to sell a villa for legal fees sounds a scam in and of itself. What do those villas cost in Hua Hin? Like 5m baht and up. Hard to believe how any lawyer could be charging that. -
Any Jewish people in Thailand noticing local hostilities?
NorthernRyland replied to wasabi's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
True but the Jewish diaspora is going to get blowback for it. Oct 7 was basically a PR disaster for Jews globally. People are strongly divided on the issue and it gets heated pretty quick. Now the common Jewish expat in Thailand is in the middle and getting paranoid. Not a good place to be in for sure. -
Thailand Deports Uyghurs Despite International Asylum Offers

racist....🥱 Look at the photo again. Those are not your people. They will totally dominate you given a chance. Get with the program and stop being a chump. -
Thailand Deports Uyghurs Despite International Asylum Offers
NorthernRyland replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I'm with Thailand on this one. Muslims can't be assimilated and are a problem waiting to happen. Those people pictured below are presumably citizens in some Western country that have the exact same rights as you do except the live in a parallel societies. The West invented the idea of so-called "human rights" and so they discard it as well. Learn from Thailand on this one and get rid of these people while you still can.- 63 replies

Thailand Weighs Designated Drinking Zones for Tourists
NorthernRyland replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's kind of like how it would be a sin to put down a dangerous dog that killed a child but then you eat deep fried chicken every morning for breakfast. -
Pattaya Gears Up for Music Fest with Massive Security Force
NorthernRyland replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
What kind of music festival is this that it requires 600 people to keep order? Is it like the American night club where some homeboy gets dissed and then a gang war breaks out? -
Already seen two forest fires last week around where I live probably dozens more in the region and they will continue to start new ones. Unless they get rained out It's going to go downhill fast like it does every year.

Pai's Big Bust: 7 Tourists Nabbed for Public Cannabis Use

well aren't the people smoking half of the offense taken? If it was well dressed professionals smoking it would honestly bother me less. -
Pai's Big Bust: 7 Tourists Nabbed for Public Cannabis Use

Look here they are violating some beach in Mexico. It's a traveling colony of imposters and they hit Pai hard for sure. https://x.com/BowTiedPassport/status/1896228428346692041 -
Some substantial part of the population has zero ability to have consideration of others, it's like they live in their own little bubble and block out everything around them. They clearly aren't teaching consideration to their kids, just how to obey their elders. It's serious societal problem here if you ask me but it's not on anyones radar.

Celebrating Songkran: Thailand Bets Big on Boosting Tourism
NorthernRyland replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I hate Songkran now. It must be the only holiday in which participation is mandatory. I'd accept buckets of water for one day or water guns for 3 days but buckets of water for 3 days is a bridge too far. I've also never lived in an area where there was a single safe street I could get too, there's a always a blockade with drunks and kids making escape impossible unless you want to get soaked.
