Kudos. It's not a common occurrence to capture a misunderstanding in progress on video in its natural habitat.

Thank you. When I search for them on Google, I can see that they are located in Bangkok, but unfortunately, their website is not functioning. Nonetheless, I would still prefer a local recommendation.

I am aware that there are numerous art studios where one can commission paintings, such as portraits, landscapes, and abstract works.
I am interested in having a landscape painting done. It doesn't need to precisely replicate a photograph but should not lean excessively towards expressionism either.
Could anyone recommend an artist based on personal experience? Additionally, I would appreciate a rough estimate of the pricing.
I have a painting in mind of 1 by 2 meters.

It's quite amusing how whenever corrupt politicians are caught in the act, with clear evidence of their wrongdoing, they quickly begin to cry out that the accusations and/or legal actions against them are driven by political motives. Unfortunately it often works.

A garbage assertion unless you've got something to back it up.

My assumption was made because I personally know five other foreigners who have faced the same issue as me, where their additional KYC requests were rejected. Interestingly, my Thai wife and her daughter have not yet been asked to provide any additional KYC information. I asked my wife to inquire among her Thai friends, and none of them have been contacted by Bitkub. Based on this, I speculated that the authorities may be making it, for whatever reason, difficult for Bitkub to serve non-Thais, similar to what happened recently with PayPal. 

So nothing to do with Thais-do-not-want-us-here. Surely it is a matter of new rules and regulations imposed by financial authorities that requires Bitkub to jump through some additional hoops. Bitkub is probably not happy with that, as it will cost them customers and turnover.

Yes. They asked for everything they already had, which I nonetheless delivered all again only to be rejected. Looks like they have been told to get rid of the foreign customers?? My Thai wife hasn't been asked for "additional" KYC (yet).

So was this guy a look khrung or are women in the US used to state officials speaking poor English?

Just checking whether posts of people who realize that this is April's fool are deleted.

How did he arrive in the country one has to ask, and then why would he, if illegally entering, try to leave via a normal channel where your documentation is checked?  The story leaves a lot of info out, and yes I looked at the linked story...

Perhaps a worried citizen of Thailand attempted to increase tourism by selling a counterfeit stamp or visa to the guy. This citizen assured him that the stamp was genuine enough and that no one would detect it as a fake.

Allegedly, lobbyists from the tobacco monopoly have requested a delay in the legalization of e-cigarettes until they are ready to produce them themselves. This way, they can target a whole new market of young customers and establish another monopoly by heavily taxing imports. Additionally, those who quit smoking cigarettes may continue to be e-cigarette customers.

It's quite possible that they walked around in circles and ended up 3 km from where they started.

They certainly needed new actresses on a regular basis, so it puzzles me why they choose a family resort like Pattaya?

TAT Announcement for quality tourists aka millionaires,

Do not believe all the negative news that TAT Vietnam is spreading about Thailand. Look at the positive. Here you see a picture of the entrance to Kathu waterfall. If you look closely you will notice something! That is right: NO entrance fee at all. You do not have to pay 10 times the Thai price as the waterfall is free to visit for all, even for white people.

Name withheld? Pending the search for the foreign gang leader?

Almost looks like he wanted to get caught. Could have been a distraction.

I don't use it, but works fine here in Kathu,
