Divert their attention, give them their own country, and let them govern it. That will take up much of their energy and time to focus more on internal difficulties rather than trying to exterminate a neighboring country.

You really don't want to see a dead body 2 or 3 days after death, be it human, pig, cow, or.....

Forget Nana and Soi Cowboy! Get down to Pattaya for a few days, she will wake up real quick! (But you need to get the finances, minimum 25k for the week).

I am SO tired of reading about cases of alleged "rape" with girls/women who are at bars where they legally need to be 20 to enter, and then they very willingly proceed very late at night to a man's room, perhaps it was to play checkers or tiddly winks?

I think that only applies to someone already in Thailand that is being thrown out. No, about 3/4 of the way down it says that he is being "denied entry" into Thailand. I think this is a hell of a form (which I had never heard of) and the mention of him wanting to fill up "Form 11" may see a change in the immigration officers concerned!

Some say this place is like the Maldives in Thailand: https://www.lifestyleasia.com/bk/travel/asia/island-guide-koh-lipe-maldives-thailand/

Perhaps shower before going for a massage? Strange, but my 60 minute massages normally run 70 minutes, sometimes longer.

Take a copy of the reports and get a second opinion.

I wonder if the powers that be realize that these types of stupid accidents caused by untrained drivers affect Thailand's "image" just as much, if not more, than criminal activities, etc.

An "update" to the story would tell us about how the "tour leader" was arrested, what he is charged with, and how many years he may expect to get in the slammer. This wishy washy "update" tells us nothing!

Yes?

A step in the right direction! I'm amazed at the difference in prices for the exact same medications from pharmacy to pharmacy! In Jomtien, Immigration Road, I walked to the beach and on the right side, bought one medication from a lady with a baby, 300 Baht. Walked about 10 meters further, and saw another pharmacy on the left side, and just thought I would inquire. Showed him the medicine, and he quoted 80 Baht! Strange, weird, and I hope, illegal, and hopefully soon to be rectified if more steps taken in this direction!

I think many third world governments are quite happy with keeping their population illiterate and unknowledgeable, it's much easier to manipulate their votes with small handouts at election time, and to stay in power for very lengthy terms. However, the current PM should have no problem with overhauling the eduction system, as I don't believe he has aspirations to stay in the position indefinately. I sincerely hope it happens, Thailand has the potential to be a leading player in the world financial and tourism scene, with (English) educated people, and I do believe they deserve it.

First, find out if the facebook page is still up and running. Then, head to the nearest Tourist Police, and inform them this is online fraud, and they should request help from the online fraud department. Also, ask them if they will help you file a written complaint, either there or at a regular police station. Wait a few days, if no reply, go to the media, all news outlets. Good Luck, but if you do the above, I think you will get your money back.

Surprised you paid that much for Penile PRP, Surecell Clinic in Pattaya does it for less than half that much, and others also much cheaper.

No, just avoid the clear bottles with a green label and blue cap.

Anybody knowledgeable please let me know, can I simply transfer my monthly foreign inward remittances to my girlfriend's bank account, or are Thai's also going to be taxed on foreign funds from Jan. 1st? I do realize that this stupid tax is going to collapse the Real Estate Market in Thailand, because which foreigner is going to bring in loads of money to buy condo's here, when the Gov't will take away potentially 35% of their hard earned money the moment it hits a Thai bank! Crazy fools, not thinking things through before announcing / implementing drastic changes in policy!

I would! https://guangzhou99.rssing.com/chan-7000757/article34.html But unfortunately, I'm Canadian and I don't think they're giving visas to us due to friction recently....

It is quite the contrary, in fact, the "minimum" help given to Ukraine is to ensure there is no obvious fast military win in this war with Russia, because they don't want the Russians backed into a corner which may result in them trying desperate measures (nuclear, etc.).

A quick google search shows that the average cost of laser cataract surgery in Thailand is in the region of 80,000 baht. Even the "best" hospital has special packages for it, priced well below what you were quoted. https://www.bangkokhospital.com/en/package/eye-surgery-packages

Personally, I think these "parents" deserve a much harsher penalty than the "abbot".

If you're suspecting your neighbor of stealing / changing your batteries, I will point out that electronic door locks have the batteries on the inside of the premises, not the outside. Secondly, my strong advice to you is to ask your neighbor out for a beer or two, before you find out that making enemies in a foreign country like Thailand is not advisable....

Happened to me once, turned out to be a dead bird in the water tank....

Not only no mentions on this thread, but way too little about him on the article as well! Who was he, where did he work, etc.?

There is going to be hell to pay for this, in Thailand, with his compatriots objecting violently, methinks.
