Jeezus! He should run, not walk to the nearest airport and get out while he can. -

Watching it, I had to turn on the subtitles to understand what he was saying. After viewing, I'd say he has a string of defamation suits coming his way. Best to get out of Dodge right now. -

I do wonder if this video is going to help him, what with him walking around the entire time with a smirk on his face. -

Wonder what type visa/extension he has. Clearly not eligible for a retirement extension, hope to God he's not a teacher, and I don't think there is a Youtuber visa. -
American Man Arrested For Assaulting Girlfriend With Golf Club

What is going on with under 50s in the West coming to Thailand? They have hair trigger anger problems seems to me. They're even worse back in their home countries, where people explode into rage and murder over the slightest things. So glad I'm here, instead of there. -

Thailand Customs to Apply VAT on All Postal Imports
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My view right before the election was that PTP/Thaksin were the supreme campaigners and political maneuverers. And it's true. Nobody in Thailand can compare to them. They run circles around everyone else. I also feared, however, that PTP grabbing power would be bad for expatriates in particular. Prayuth basically left immigration alone--just the 400K year round maintenance, I think. He was a status quo politician. And for me, that's what I want. No changes. Now we're getting changes galore, and I can't see anywhere it's for the better, not only for expatriates but for average Thai people. And ultimately, it's their interests that count. And I think Prayuth was better. I now look at 2021 to 2022 as a sort of Golden Age in Thailand. -

Thailand Customs to Apply VAT on All Postal Imports

Everything was better: immigration, no taxes on foreign income, no open door for Russians and Chinese, and now this new parcel tax. Hell, even Thai foreign policy was better balanced between China and the West. -

British Tourist Duped by Nonexistent Hotel on Thai Island
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Don't know how old the British scammer is, but if I was a young guy, this looks just fine to me, with the benefit of the pharmacy and access to imodium on the ground floor.
