Naked Foreigner Arrested in Pattaya Linked to Speedboat Theft Attempt
Personally, I wonder how somebody like this gets through immigration in both their home country and also on arrival. This is weird in the nth degree.

A small Tip goes a long way!
Those of you BICKERING personally at each other, and have basically HIJACKED this interesting thread and made it unreadable, should be ashamed, and use the personal direct messaging for your BS in future. Shame on you!

Police Recover Cartier Watch for Dutch Tourist
Just imagine the plight of the poor massage worker who served him. And the Health Land company. Both of which were accused by him, falsely. I have no sympathy for this jerk.

Compiling my lists
Please make a list of how many grains of sand on Pattaya beaches. I'm sure many of us would be interested, and it'll keep you occupied!

Trump Links Nobel Peace Prize Loss to Threats Over Greenland
Am I the only one, while watching him climb down the stairs from Airforce1, hoping and praying he would fall and break his neck?

Da Nang: Tourist Feeds Wild Monkeys with Banana Gimmick
Wrapping yourself in bananas, and looking for hungry monkeys? I really wish that security hadn't intervened, Darwin (and most of us) would have been happy.

Maneerat Visa Service.
Actually very well connected, and gets the job done well, every time. Management however needs to work on their staff training, one time I was sent to the bank and told to sit, then after an hour, told I need to take a number "when I came in", which is just utter stupidity, coz I could have saved an hour sitting. Anyway, one of the most connected and reasonably priced agents in Thailand.

Trump Weighs Military Options Amid Iran Protests Escalation
I don't know which rock you've been hiding under, but this a**hole has invaded a soveriegn country recently (Venezuela) picked up their leader and brought him back to the states using force. Doing Iran is a no-brainer for this no-brain idiot, because he cares a sh*t for American soldiers lives, only lives for applause and adoration.

Brit Teen Forced to Carry Weed from Thailand, Faces Qatar Jail
A news report says he was in transit through Doha, so why did they check or open his bags, which should have been checked through to the UK? Was he carrying it on him? If so, it would have been a very small amount, and extremely stupid of him to do, whilst transiting through Qatar. For that small amount carried on him, threats and coercion make no sense.

Is there anywhere (paid) to park my car while on a trip abroad?
Just get into one of the big condo parking using BS smooth talk and go to the bottom end of the lot, leave your contact on a piece of paper visible on the dasboard. I doubt you will get a call. Enjoy your trip.

What's the nicest thing a stranger has done for you this year ?
Almost daily, I find helpful and kind local people everywhere in this country. This starkly contrasts to (mostly) foreigners who I suspect reside here grudingly, and either ignore your smile, or straight out give you dirty looks. Wish there was a law to throw these guys out, they do NOT belong in LOS!

Cars that drive slow in the right lane drive me nuts
Oh, I've tried everything, including flashing, horning, nothing seems to wake up sleep slow drivers in the right lane. But, if I've got the time, I find the inevitable opportunity to get ahead of him, and then, I slow down, slower than them. They move to the left. So I proceed. Then, sure as s$%t they will get back into the fast lane, and drive slow, so I have to slow down again, until they move to the left. Then move on. IF I have the time and patience to teach these imbeciles what the fast lane is for.

British Groom Denied Thailand Flight Over Damaged Passport
I didn't realize there were Thai Immigration Officers present 24/7 at Manchester Airport. I suppose you have never met anybody in your life who lies to "save face"? There is a definate benefit to the airline to throw a couple people off, for frivolous reasons, if there was over-booking.

Thai Court to Try Australian Journalist in Malaysia Case
Ludicrous that Thailand will prosecute somebody for a crime not committed in Thailand. At most, legally, they could deport him to Malaysia to face the alleged charges. What Thailand is doing (in this case) seems totally beyond legality, and I suspect the Ozzie gov't will see that and disappear this guy in the very near future, back home to Oz.

WD 2TB drive shows up as ‘VendorCo ProductCode USB Device’
You will also find that it doesn't store anywhere near 2TB of data, although it might read as a 2TB drive when you plug it in, actual copying data onto that drive will stop somewhere around 32MB, I think.

Bluetooth Speakers For The Home
Love music, love bass, so was shocked to find a speaker at a friends house, a Bose copy called S2025. Now, you have the S2025 and S2026 available on Lazada/Shopee for less than 500 baht! Amazing sound for the price, bluetooth and also usb inputs, and battery lasts for half a day on full volume.

"Nobody Knows What Magnets Are": POTUS
A win-win for sure! IF some of the republicans with half a brain manage to convince this moron out of this idea (because it will probably bankrupt the economy in short order) then the people in the states will be peed off enough to throw this joke of a guy out of power, along with his party. IF he sends those cheques out, then we will have a financially damaged usa, which again, should result in him being impeached or otherwise "shown the door" or (God-willing) perhaps a jail cell!

83 yr old Viet Vet . Now 16 months overstay.
THIS is the key point, along with he being 83 years old, no money to his name, I only FEAR for what could happen to him were he picked up and put in a cell. Yes, my suggestion of getting the F out immediately at all costs using any means is drastic, but it is the cheapest method, and (hopefully) avoids him spending time in jail, which would probably kill the guy.

83 yr old Viet Vet . Now 16 months overstay.
Suggest he get himself out of the country asap, using dubious means. Next door in Vietnam or Cambodia or Laos, he could live a life, far better than in Bangkok Hilton where he will end up, if he decides to continue living here, sad, but true.

They will not say sorry!
I GOT IT! Sorry for the caps, but somebody showed her this thread, and those of you who said "kick her out" etc., I guess resonated within her pea brain, and I got my apology! I sincerely thank all of you that participated, a very happy ending to a really distressing week. I love you all! TC, Sam.
