  1. Will he get 5 years? Any nationality guy could be found to have committed this sort of crime. I consider myself to be non racist. I haven't been exposed to many nationalities in my life. I have worked on government contracts that had minority giring requirements and i can say its quite depressing to work alongsideany of these folks. You know they are getting hogher pay than you because they were in dakand having their degrees from some unknown name university or mail order outfit. Many of them didn't do 3/4 the work of non minorities and also were kept during staff reductions during changing political funding events. I too hate nepotism and religion based hirings. Plenty of that in USA and Utah for sure.
  2. Tell us more about VN. How does a guy get his thai wife to stay there?
  3. Oh sorry, it's not black pink. Wife says only 4 in that group. Not sure who this is but i guess its popular. No matter how old I try ti keep an open mind regarding music. Heck im even enjoying some country songs ss they seem to cross over.
  4. Just thought to post this music/video review and it has a YouTube link. I cant quite understand the reviewers description but i do think all these ladies are hot. Plastic surgery or not. To bad not 7 so there would be a flavor for each day of the week. The description sounds like a sommelier describing some wine. https://world.kbs.co.kr/service/contents_view.htm?lang=e&menu_cate=tvguide&board_seq=449624
  5. That she hadn't paid taxes yet was my original thought of why you would buy fake red plates but the article didn't mention that. I also wondered why not buy fake white plates? But i agree with some verification by posts here that some Thai want everyone to know its a new car. In USA we get a paper plate ro tape in rear window. Hardly visible through standard tinte on many vehicles. Took like 6 weeks to get real plate in the mail. They also have dealer plates. Seems loys of people working at car dealerships ger to use the cars or are doing test drive time on used ones. I still dont understand the no night and only one province rule? What if dealer is near a provincial line plus it gets dark so early there. Oh yeah we bought a new car 3 weeks ago but cant drive it home to see mom. Just starts the lawlessness and so everyone is a criminal so they have sympathy for real criminals.
  6. Check your policy because overnight sleep tests are under major diagnostics and not covered under my plan. It maybe less expensive to get a sleep atudy done in Thailand. I've been putting it off for over a year now. I think my poor sleep issues started with covid.
  7. Oh i forgot about the after sunset rule. Why are there the last 2 rules?
  8. Dont toy get temporary tags when you buy a car? And i thought you had red plates for a month or something, restricting your driving to 1 province. Educate me please. I never understood the red plate, time, driving area restrictions that i heard about.
  9. They admit people use e payments and credit cards do get rod of the cash requirement or make everyone show cash at the window!
  10. Sad statement about Thailand. I'm sure boss is asking for advice.
  11. 9000 baht. A 250$ phone. Your wife broke the screen. The phone techs in MBK in bkk are very good and i bet they would have fixed it good for 2000 baht. But I would have wanted a price from Samsung shop because likely a new screen was half the phones value so time to get a new phone. But a decent gently used samy, like a S21 ultra or any ultra. Many people trade in fir the latest versions . The ultra cameras are amazing. Get a good cheap case like the unicorn beetle. Its just as Protective as an otter box. Im all about holding Thai's accountable. But for a broken 250$ phone. No.
  12. Yes i met several divorced thai women who had sworn off thai men.
  13. I dont drink energy drinks but i tell this sad fing story to everyone i see drinking a redbull.
  14. Maybe working girls and wives looking to finesse their game? Got to stay up or be tossed aside. One single mom I dated was dumped at 35 by thai hubby who knocked up his 18 yr old gf. He told her reason for leaving was poor sex. This motivated her to get a masters degree and do some serious reading on sexual topics to up her game. Wish all women did this at 18. Oh, she was an English major and said the best sexy books were in english. None of note written in Thai.
  15. I still get pangs of lust when i picture this lovely, innocent beauty i saw on the ferry to Koh Samui. I sat a few rows back and could hardly stop glancing her way. She was in a dress so I could only imagine how perfect that figure must be to match that angelic face. She dressed like marry poppins or Dorothy from wizard of oz. With a CFM face. She sat and moved so prim and proper. She was with a Tom, dressed well who looked like the pickpocket Oliver. Maybe even had a hat on. I was with a Thai lady and she explained this Tom, Dee thing to my naive mind. Not sure how I could fit in the bedroom, if asked, but i would give it a go.
  16. I agree its a test country. Probably even a 50% drop wont he much. Maybe a bit of a jab at the price of a thai visa to NZ. Maybe NZ people do cause more ruckus than average. This free to ruzzians pisses me off.
  17. I hope Thailand has a clean cop to try to sort things out. I'm sure that person would face hell.
  18. The main thing that grts ke are these tree slices used ss cutting boards. Cut up raw pork, chicken then veggies that are not going to be cooked. We rook the 4 colored plastic cutting boards to wife's family in the village. They couldn't understand. Wife cooked separate for us lots of the time. My western breakfast was amusing to the locals. Of course they wanted raw beef at iur wedding. And they ate raw fish with the ants too. That was an interesting dish to prepare but no thanks.
  19. Im amazed ive never got sick ( from food) in my 6-8 months in Thailand that i know of. I did get what was like food poisoning, but i think it was feim swimming in some lake near Udon Thanni. I went for a longish swim and think that i swallowed a bit to much lake water. 5 hours later my 10 hour intestine cleansing began. I did eat some pizza a couple hours before. Just know it was a bad night.
  20. Not sure why this popped up in my notifications. Just to update. Our K1 visa path has been slow and still no green card, 2.8 years, after submitting our I-485 in July 21. Going the asset route 125% of poverty for household of 2 is 30,800$ https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p Using assets its 5x the poverty level or about 150k in assets that can be liquid in less than a year. Fir some reason i thought yuur residence didnt count but maybe it does reading this. https://citizenpath.com/faq/use-assets-i-864/ It can be a combination of asset and income. Another item is after coming in on a K1 visa they can't leave without ending the K1 visa until they get an advanced parole. That took us about 8-9 months to get in the form of a combo card. That was a dual work permit and advanced parole. They dont do dual card anymore. Advanced parole? Yes this whole process is full of confusing terms and government personel written crap, forms and instructions. Her combo card expired in 2 years and we just had to reapply for an extension. You can apply for extension 6 months before expiry but must do before it expires or must pay new fees. We are late with only 1 month before it expires . No travel planned for 7 months so should be ok. And she works in our company so i dont care if she has work permit like a big company would. Once they send notice of receipt of our extension application she gets an auto 180 extension. Not sure why processing times for her green card are over 2.5 years its not uncommon and depends on which regional office your told to be using. Overall its a broken system. Also they run on fees not aloocated funds so they just raised all fees starting april 1, 2024. Some by 70% The best advice is to get married first and do a CR1 visa. But the US citizen must have a domicile and residency in the US.
  21. Is rhis the old case where the guy not happy they charged him a cork fee? Negative and true reviews should not have any risk of a lawsuit. Its hard to imagine the twisted mind of a manager or hotel owner who would sue. Its scary to realize they think like dis.
  22. The plea of head police sounds so ridiculous its not funny. Mom I ate the whole cookie jar so we need to get more. Are they going to make flats all over Thailand for every officers mia noi? I had to let go a nice school director. Main reason besides 2 teens, was her dept. She could have retired with 20,000 baht/mo pension but that equaled her dept payment. She was 46 and I calculated that she would be 85 before she paid off her debt. They had let her borrow and borrow and just rollled new money inti the same loan. So she was paying on a car from 15 years ago. She informed me there is no bankruptcy in Thailand and if they stop paying they loose their job. Also there was a life insurance payment included. I say fire most officers and start over. Need to be asking for money for better training. Need to allow foreign police to come help train and run things.
  23. I expect the US will not be to keen on letting Thailand buy any new tech with their leadership coming from china and boot licking towards ruzzia.
  24. I'm sorry but I'm an active outdoor guy. My Thai wife is too and seems to handle the cold better than many male wimps I know. I can keep warm in -20c , with low level of activity, but I cant get cool outside in 39c. I can't do much outside over 39c. If you live a sedentary life it may be ok. We hit 40c a handful of summer days here but its still cooler early in the day to get outside. Some of these people that have been moving to Montana, Idaho, and mountain towns may be doing the smart thing for 50-100 years down the road. We have been ice fishing about 8-10 times. One morning it was a bit nippy. But not much moisture in the air for much energy exchange if you understand thermodynamics. And no wind to speak of. And the sun feels amazing on those days.
  25. 2 articles say these times. Isnt it restricted from 2-5 pm and 12-5 am? I just know several times this 2-5 pm ban has caused me as a tourist ill will. Wanting a cold beer or 6 to take to the hotel or condo fridge. Peehaps this ban causes people to go to the little mom n pop places where you can but anytime.
