In January 2012 I was tourist sitting on a bench in from of my hotel, the flipper house (Soi 7 I think)in Pattaya when I was approached by a man looking distraught and wearing a small backpack. He claimed to be a Norwegian man down on his luck, money stolen, no way to get home, he claimed he had tried begging for money at a Norwegian bar just down the soi, all he wanted was enough money to get to the Norwegian Embassy in Bangkok. I knew it could be a scam but didn't mind so I gave him 140 baht if I remember correctly, he said thanks and took off. Fast forward two years. I was living in Pattaya on Pratnumnak Hill ( I think that was Soi 7 also) when I went for a walk. Just at the top of the street was a man looking lost carrying a small. I recognized him almost immediately. It was the same man from two years prior. I'm not sure if he asked for money I said "Oh I guess you never made it home to Norway. I gave you money because you said you need to go to your Embassy so you could go home." His only reply was "You must be mistaken." A few weeks later I saw him behind Big C Extra on central Rd acting the same way. Then not long after that I saw him with a group of other men talking. If it hadn't been laughable I would had a Thai friend call the Police.

In the U.S. the typical height of a "Floor" is 10 feet. He went to the 29th floor which means he had 28 beneath so 280 feet, In Thailand the standard is probably 12 feet, I'm not sure but if so that's 336 feet. I did just a little looking online about how many feet it takes for a parachute to open. The one answer I will attached below says it depends on the type of jump and the parachute. Perhaps the jumper didn't know. It depends on what you mean by NEED to pull your chute. A BASE rig that’s packed properly and deployed properly can open pretty fast (100 feet or less). I’ve seen video of someone doing a BASE jump into a quarry filled with water from less than 100. He had just enough time to slow down before hitting the water. The guy helping him jumped in after him without a rig on and was fine. For most BASE jumping, 300 feet is the general rule of thumb, that gives you enough time for your chute to deploy and get to a safe place to land. If you’re talking about a skydiving rig falling at terminal velocity, it takes a lot longer. I pull at 3,500 feet above ground level. People I know with a lot more experience pull at the same altitude, I’ve met some that go down as low as 2,500, but not many and everyone thinks they’re crazy. If anything goes wrong, I want time to cut away my main and pull my reserve before it’s too late. Depending on your equipment and how it’s packed, it can take around 500 - 800 feet to deploy, a hard opening will open faster, but that’s gonna hurt. The last resort on a skydiving rig is an Automatic Activation Device (AAD). Mine is set to pull my reserve at 875 feet if I’m moving too fast. That gives me just enough time to pull my brakes and land were ever I happen to be. It’s a last effort to save your life and basically does it at the last possible second before you die.

Not at all. I had a friend robbed at gun point by a Thai taxi driver.

What Insurance do you have?

A few years ago the Chinese tried doing this in the U.S., to the best of my knowledge the U.S. Gov stopped it. Below are a few comments from others I feel is so true about Thai's and their government. "I wish there was a place to send these Thai politicians to grow a spine or grow a pair. No wonder self respect is one trait Thais aren’t aware of." "Nothing like demonstrating to the whole world that you are so inept, so pathetic that you give up your sovereignty to allow a foreign power to come in and look after public safety. Dont expect an average person there to realize how appalling this really is!"

I've read two stories about this guy. 1. While PM he had many Northern people suspected of drug trafficking killed. No prison no trial. 2. There was an article about Japanese WWII gold being found in a cave, he said he saw it and it would solve all of Thailand economic problems, in another article he said he was mistaken.

I had a wife that went missing for 2 weeks, came back a few days and was gone again. Didn't know where she was. Ended she had been in a few different places hundreds of miles apart traveling with her new boyfriend. Ha ha. Biggest C U Next Tuesday I've ever met in my life, not just because of this but because of many other things.

I didn't think pot would cause hallucinations sp I looked online, apparently it can cause them. I'm heard of people smoking marijuana cigarettes laced with PCP and they go crazy and killing people.

I lived in Pattaya for 2 years and knew most of what was happening now I'm out of the country but still have two bank accounts so what is this 50k photo verification?

I have a russian friend who speaks perfect thai, German, English. I will ask him if he can and will do. I think he's in Pattaya at the moment.

A few years ago, I opened an account at Kasikorn but I needed to buy some kind of insurance from them. If I remember correctly, it was 15,000. Even further back in time 2013 Bangkok Bank in Pattaya (main office) let me as a tourist open an account.

More bd news for you if you are setting up a company to buy land. The last paragraph says “There are about 100 companies which have been registered by foreigners with this company. Of those, 44 companies are involved with land which have cost about 100 million baht of damages. Most of their customers are Russians.

My first question would be why aren't the 5-6 men on the ride hailing app? If they were it would show where the customer was and they could compete for the fare.

LINE? Website?
