Urinating publicly at a place of worship is exactly how I would expect a Chinese tourist to behave.

You are right about one thing... i'm not that old to have been here in the 60's (even as a fetus, LoL). I used to get my weed in CA... and there is nothing like a little Humboldt, Trinity and Mendocino county "Emerald Triangle" dank to soothe the soul. My older brother on the other hand (was here in the 70s) has stories of Thai stick he likes to regal me with. But seriously, if it was only about the weed, I'd have stayed in CA.

Same goes for all the foreign investors who invested capital in brick and mortar dispensaries, and farming assets when the ganja stampede started. That rug gets pulled April 2025. I'll never be convinced that THA is a great place to invest capital (unless you are a silent partner with a Thai national -- and even then there is no guarantees).

It's a great set-up... make foreigners THINK they can "work around" the law, get them to buy-in to bogus notions/contracts, then swoop in at a later time, when it's convenient, to take it all back... tick-tock,tick-tock... people never learn... if you are a foreigner, the house (Thailand) always wins. If you are not married to a Thai (who can own land), and/or on a 30 year lease with proper usufruct and superficies, and you built/bought a house, you're playing a risky game with your assets.

Good is indeed relative. And using nominees is like skating on this ice.

They are saying it was built illegally...on either land she did not own or did not have rights to build on. It's a land issue.

He should have said April-20 (4-20) at 4:20pm ... that would have been intentional, clever and funny 🤣

Too bad, but inevitable. At least until the next government says different. Luckily, everyone in issan grows their own 😜 weed will never be in short supply in THA. The upside is maybe a few less knucklehead tourist (and those will no self control) will decide to come here for the ganja experience.

Cautionary take for all the foreigners who think they can get around a hard and fast rule that foreigners can't own land in Thailand. Without a proper (good) lawyer, and checking all the boxes, with one misstep, your entire estate gets through into limbo, or worse, lost/taken from you.

Thai driver 💯... Really, Thai police refuse CCTV footage from businesses 🤬🤬🤬 maybe because they probably know who did it, and it's probably one of their own or one of their patrons. Thai privilege is not limited to just killing farangs, be careful out there.

Seeing as you have degenerated to simply spewing words, and have lost the plot completely, it's indeed best to remain silent. This was never about you, but emotions have gotten the best of you, causing more harm in your own mind than in fact. Lack of self-control tends to do that. Try meditation. Really. I'm out.

So this is a BOLO because RTP failed to do their job. Got it.

You don't know me, or what I've been through and seen. And I've seen plenty. You think prostitution is such a great job, you do it. Coward. And you thinking an Asian (on the lookout for customers) that you meet in some go-go bar is going to spill the honest ugly truth of their life to YOU 😂... GTFOH. You truly are a fool.

His mistake was going into business for himself. If he had been hired by a Thai business, he'd still be working.

Sounds like the plane never got airborne. Probably a blessing in disguise.

The guy was fleeing a 25 year sentence for crimes committed in the US. He has been in and out of Oregon jails going back to at least 2015. How he managed to get out of the US so easily is another matter altogether. At least he was caught. A true dirt bag. Just goes to show that Thailand will always a go-to destination when criminals are on the run.

Huh? Kickstarted Thailand's tourism revival? By issuing EDs to Chinese? So are they Chinese tourist (kickstarting a tourism revival 🤣) by learning Muay Thai with EDs, or teaching candidates being trained to be sent abroad. This article (with no byline or source) is nonsense.

The sketchy IOs and agents/visa mills will love this kind of ED visa promotion in the media... the EDs always been the go to visa for anyone who doesn't legitimately qualify for any other Thai visa. If you don't exit/reentry too frequently while on an ED, you can get away with years in country, and just keep renewing your ED.

Stop it. You have never been so limited in your life choices to where you would have had to make anywhere near the difficult choices most prostitutes have had and do make. Your comments show a profound lack of compassion, empathy and sympathy. Whatever helps you sleep at night, sport'o. But what you abibe, is on you (#fact). And yes, YOU personally NEED more perspective, you need to see your mother, sister, daughter as a prostitute. And then, if you abide, than you are a failed excuse for a decent human being (and a typical whore mongering expat). Truth always hurts. That's your life, sobeit. Customers of prostitutes always lack the ability to see the real and ugly truths of the profession. But it's ok because you pay and they take your money. So that makes it fair and equitable in your small mind. Because hey, could be worse, and no one died, and everyone got what they expected... lol (#dolt)

Low-life named Ali holding a US passport enters THA to commit crime... Enjoy your extended stay in THA Ali.

Whataboutism will give you a headache in Thailand. Relax. Does one dumb Brit equal 10 rabid LBs... who knows, and IDK. Phuket is a chit hole anyway. Just be glad whenever Thai police arrest anyone who deserves it.

Unless your card issuer is a Thai bank, and you use your Thai bank issued card overseas, this means nothing (to 90% of all card holders of Thai bank issued credit cards).

Enjoy your extended stay in Thailand #dolt

Stay on topic. Can't solve all Thailand's issues with only one arrest.

The vast majority of people, unless emotionally or psychologically damaged, don't "happily and willingly" choose a career as a sex worker (specifically, those that engage in the exchange of sexual services through direct physical contact), and just because they do it "for the money" or to "pay the bills" (which ostensibly means to survive their chosen lifestyle) doesn't make it any more emotionally healthy or desirable. I dare you to ask any of them, what they really really want, and I assure you (if they are being completely honest, and are not embarrassed -- which if you are a customer you will only get their lies), most will say "not this life." Your own generalizations only validate your opinions (and like so many others, it makes you feel better about yourself and what you abide, and that's on you). I've said it once and I will say it again... No decent human being who has ever had a daughter would ever want this life for their own daughter, so why would you want it for someone else's daughter. Please, have just a little empathy and compassion.
