1. He is not on drugs.
2. He is not overstaying his visa.
3. He did not entered the country illegally.

So, "YES", he is allowed to conitnue his stay in Thailand.

4. He will have a criminal record [unless he can pay the bribe fee],

So, "NO", he will get deported [unless he can pay the bribe fee].

They have been at sea for many weeks and now looking to unload some cash. About 6,000 sailors will visit this week. 

Totally unwoke, there is plenty sex on board these days. And plenty females sailors as well. We are in 2023 mate.

For those of us with kids here in Thailand, what do you envision your son or daughter becoming someday?

My vision for my children is to work and retire in Europe, New Zealand or Australia. I keep their passports up to date and let them make their own choices as regard to study and career.

Thought I'd live a million years, then staring at death. Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma is the wording.

Cancer of what? They can be very different, if it was Prostate. at 76 you may be wise to ignore it, stomach, oesophagus or lungs would require immediate attention.

It is Thailand. You don't make the rules. 50 years ago in any country he cops a flogging.

Nonsense.

I’d agree that the attack was uncivilised, but the Finnish guy invited the attack after behaving in an uncivilised manner.

My point is that in any "civilised"  the Finn would be charged for "disturbing  the peace" while the members of that mob would answer the charge of "aggravated assault". 

You don't take the law into your own hands that's all. Now the point about someone's wife being insulted is moot as it all ended up in a classic Thai gang bashing. I'd assume she didn't have half a dozen of husbands. And lastly, xenophobia definitely comes into play as they all knew that the authorities would take their side since their victim was a foreigner.

He deserved it. Abusing women, ripping off a shop.

He probably deserved to spend a few hours at the police station to be charged for disturbing the peace.. I you come from a lave where justice relies on corporal punishment, flogging, stoning, etc..

I'd suggest the Thai response was quite restrained

Broken jaw? Yeah right you believe he tripped and fell on his face.. You are definitely not an apologist.

Also, you may argue, even though you negate the obvious, about Thai xenophobia, so feel free to substitute "xenophobic, savagery" by something like "uncivilised savagery". I'll leave you now  with the pleasure of pointing out the pleonasm.

no it is not ok but anyone with half a brain would know better than to get into the position where it could happen...he wasn't just walking along whistling and jumped by a gang of Thais.  But go right ahead and blame it all on the Thais as  is obvious from your posts .  Bad behavior often leads to bad outcomes regardless of where it occurs.   Go into a bar or store in anywhere USA and insult all the good ole boys hanging around and see how that works out.

So,  what we have here is some drunken, dumb, Farang arrogance met by Thai unrestrained, xenophobic, savagery leading to serious injury. A very minor misdemeanour met by what could have ended up death. If that's ok with you we are not living in the same world.

As living in the nordic countries, we have lost several direct flights, and now unless you going more than 20 hours one way, it is double and triple prices compare to before covid. before I could easily get tickets  below 20k roundtrip, now 50k and more. 

Don't you see this as a good thing? You only have to travel three times less. And the planet will love it.

And I expect any inability to provide a tax return would require a very good reason as to why one could not be provided since folks with LTR visa type income would have an annual income tax return.

Don't think this can be pertinent to most applicants who have been living for years in Thailand and aren't considered as resident for tax purposes by their country of origin. I know that for US folks this is somewhat different...

Thailand is well known for BFFS (Bare Foot Full Service).

Let's please understand there is no standard box that all war vets fit into. My uncles etc., never ever talked about it and as kids we were educated to not ask them questions about the war.

 

And the experiences of war vets can be vastly different according to the 'jobs' and units they belonged to. Some saw horrific incidents, some didn't quite so much. 

 

My own experiences include small children being blown to pieces and I was the section leader on a search and destroy mission. The village was very strongly suspected of aiding the viet cong communist army. After many hours of serious very methodical searching everywhere for villagers (because of geneva conventions protecting / non targeting of civilans etc.) and your in an area known to have active well trained communist ruthless special forces, and you have to get on with your orders, I gave the order to blow up the village.

 

After the village was destroyed we searched again as per orders, looking for any equipment, ammunition, packaged food etc., that might have been revealed. We discovered the badly dismembered burned bodies of several adults and children. Enough said.  

No comment, Lt Calley.

"When in Rome, do as the romans do", so I should probably join in and make my contribution to the beating. LOL.. i'd most certainly run.

What medications have been tried so far?

Bisoprolol 2.5mg daily. Didn't seem to help at all for about a year. I was about to switch to a Calcium channel blocker when my PVC burden dropped dramatically.

I'll contact Bangkok Hospital, or possible Vejthani once the come back.

No guaranatee he will think ablation indicated -- especially as you say the PVCs have been infrequent since March. But no harm in trying.

Thanks.
