It was this idiots family that was given the reprieve, not the terrorist himself.

Apparently, they were working for Russia! They would probably be treated as heros if they were deported there!

Very confused. Damage to FRONT right side of vehicle! How in the world would the driver not have noticed the bike immediately in front of him, on his driving side of the vehicle?

Thank you, yes, I was planning to take her to bangkok tomorrow, but because of some of your comments, we will try another hospital in Pattaya first. Thank you all for valuable advice.

The girlfriend fell down on a dirty road about 10 days ago, was treated at the so-called "best" hospital in Pattaya. Today, she was complaining about pain when opening her mouth, and throat. My layman's knowledge of a wound being infected with Tetanus results in this, as a first symptom. So, rushed her to the same hospital. Doctor dismissed the Tetanus possibility outright, by making 2 statements, first, it was too early for symptoms (10 days!) and second, the throat pain is not the first symptom of Tetanus. Gave her some pain medicine and sent us home. Now, I am PRAYING I, and the rest of the world, are not correct, but this one doctor, at this so-called "best" hospital is somehow, correct, against all information available on the internet. God help any of us who may fall ill here in LOS!!!!

I don't understand the "censor", as you can clearly make out the guy, and the woman talking. Throw him out of the country, is my opinion.

Cannot imagine buying pre-build, 3 beds, 1 bathroom type places, bedrooms the size of closets. Have to go through the pain of doing it yourself, supervising daily.

I wonder if those unwilling doctors would change their minds if it was their own children who were molested?

Hello, I can not see what/where is No. 1 Thank you for the informative post!

Embarrassing for the Mossad, they regularly use different passports, this time perhaps thinking the Thai fingerprint system is useless (as most believe).

Try right next door, AE&EK, has a few locations around Pattaya, but IMHO, it is the best quality food for a very low price! Harlan's is at least 5 or 6 times more expensive!

Weird, I thought Nigeria was where all kinds of rubbish including drugs came OUT of, not into!

Sorry to read that you need to transfer those funds now, as IMO the baht is much too strong at the moment. A month or two later, should be more favourable for foreign transfers to Thailand (fingers crossed).

Yes, this delay from Wise has happened recently, but only to certain Thai banks! I coincidentally found that out yesterday, when transferring the exact same amount, at the exact same time, to 2 Thai banks, from Wise. My Kasikorn account received it in seconds, my Bangkok Bank account, next day, after 2 PM!

What happened to the casino? They are still "discussing" it, for long periods of time, just the same as they do with everything else. But the casino WILL come, NO doubt about it, because Thai (especially govt) LOVES money, and the casino will bring in tons of it!!!

About the only thing that keeps me happy these days is day-dreaming about him being run over by a bus, literally.

For those of you dissin the OP, you have to agree he is mostly right, and it is well written too. Many, many wonderful things about LOS, but these are some annoying and sometimes dangerous behaviors.

Save money, and solve your problem asap with a cheap tablet, as britmantoo initially suggested. BTW I bought an ABL smart tv and returned it a day later, way too many problems!

I am hesitating to buy gold right now, hoping that trump gets thrown out of power, or assassinated by one of his maga followers who lost their job, house, and family. And hoping that will inspire re-confidence in the dollar, and the stock exchanges in merica, dropping gold back down a bit. Crypto is new (for me) and interesting, ethereum seems to be solid, as is xrp for a long term large gain, so I am slowly increasing my investments in them.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Grab also advertised this some time ago, TOTAL FAIL! Re LineMan, I WISH you would do your research before printing this BS, because it is simply not true. This is a screenshot from my LineMan App taken right now, and YES, my "settings" are set to show English for everything! Again, it does not work, (yet), only a big advertising blitz to make fools of us farangs!

Wise is not restricted to US bank accounts. You can open a Wise account in many currencies, and many countries. And it is 95% within seconds. Normal swift bank accounts take a couple days. Forget about Western Union, IMHO they are crooks. Huge fees for both parties, and also terrible exchange rates, much time wasted at WU counters to collect funds, etc. etc.

In 3rd world countries (and corrupt ones) there are many furnaces which melt down old iron scrap, and then this is made into the steel bars which are used for construction. These bars made from scrap iron are not nearly as strong as original steel bars, they are full of holes, imperfections and other materials.

Kudo's to the cops, I can't imagine anybody leaving faster that this dude, comitting the crime around noon, and on a flight a few hours later, and STILL caught by Thai cops! Whatever you say about the BIB, they do some things awfully well!

So there are 10 customers for a weed shop in a particular neighborhood. The owner is making a decent living off these 10 customers. 9 other weeds shops open on the same street / neighborhood, (seeing the first shop doing well). Now, you have got 10 customers for 10 shops in the same area. Everybody goes bankrupt. That, in a nutshell, is Thai business sense, seen day in and day out, all over the country!

I just completed this quiz. My Score 33/100 My Time 131 seconds
