Think I've overdosed on these 20,000 baht threads

Yes ! And especially when someone is ridiculous enough to ask if he should have a money only in Thai baht !!!

As if any of the officials involved had enough brain to know what are other currency and how much they are in Thai baht !

I am so sure that most of the people who had problems were just looking for these problems.

Philippines is a lot better :-)

Rents are cheap because farang take a massive downgrade compared to the quality they lived in back home.
Try renting a 100 sqm condo in lower Sukhumvit.. Good luck with cheap !!

Who is stupid enough to live on Sukhumvit actually ? The only ones I know are totally brainless, but yes, some are rich.

Exactly ! And in Thailand it is very easy to avoid problems. Not sure in PI.

Philippines would be the next choice. Thailand feels like it's going down and down and there is so much uncertainty the new new should be LONS  (land of no smiles).

Philippines for hopeless people yes.

But of course Cambodia is better for many things, and the most important is that it takes only 1 hour to go WITHOUT flying above the ocean.

PI has no future and will never improve, but Cambodia will improve quickly.

I often show mine also !

407 bus to Nonkhai from Pattaya is still available everyday.

sounds to me like another victim of the deathtrap minivans

the three daily 99 buses which ran from Bangkok to Trat via Pattaya have stopped entirely so you can only go on a minivan now

Are you sure ? No big bus to Koh Chang anymore ?

Given that there are over 210,000 policemen, there aren't enough to go round, (guns that is)!

Are you sure, so many ? This is why it's so stinky around here !

So where is the PITA option now ?

I am saying you are the fool if you do not get to know someone very well before you enter a relationship with them. Look at all the sad stories of farangs with local wives--most of the women and the men have changed only in looks. Yes, I too know divorce, been divorced twice, still friends with both of them. We divorced because our ideas for the future changed, not because they turned out to be loonies.  You need to be smarter than the problem, if you are not, then there you are.

But for most it might be difficult to find a good one in a bar...

No offence intended

How can a "doctor" be so stupid. Sorry he is not a doctor he is a Thai doctor...

Big difference !

No way I am going to return that amount of money, sorry.

Same here ! The one who had it didn't deserve it and anyway I am sure he got it by scamming or killing people.

The bank said it was all a genuine mistake.

????

But employee has been fired ?

This bank is a bank of liars just as everybody in this country !

This kind of news show very well the kind of attention that most doctors put here in what they do.

I once carried $200000 cash and I cannot imagine forgetting here anywhere. But maybe this is why I am not a doctor, I am too smart.

Real BIG news ! a Shinawatra in this world would be innocent !

And then later they wonder why they are raped or robbed....

The saddest part of this story is who the hell grassed them up. Obviously a very old sore loser

Could be a grumpy old farang like so many are found on this forum and in Thailand.

Every year in the village its always a funny topic of conversation over who managed to get away and who got caught when raided. (normally playing HI/LO however someone last month was grabbed with a piece of paper with a list of lottery numbers from the local village lottery) I was told the head of the village did not pay his usual contribution (2000 baht fine at the station)

The local police travel around the villages in an unmarked police car and look for houses with lots of bikes parked outside

Looking for houses with lots of bikes is not as stupid as I thought they were.

There is also the option of Cool Sculpting. It is supposedly FDA approved but not cheap.  Available in Thailand and supposedly works for spot fat reduction.

Another new great marketing BS that only retards and lazy can do.

In case you dont know FDA approved only means "I PAID A LOT TO BE ABLE TO SELL IN USA", nothing else.

Public hospitals in Thailand DO NOT do root canal for foreigners, even at higher price.

It does seem a bit ridiculous until I recall an expat former neighbor who had his car repoed because the money he was giving to his girlfriend for the car payment went to gambling instead.

Another champion !
