EVENKEEL

The Police Chief said it was offensive to show video. I disagree. Chansley's an idiot, I agree. I just don't get why after committing the crimes for which he was sentenced, he was allowed to continue on with cops opening up doors for him like he's on a tour. Shouldn't he have been in cuffs? It seems like the only videos shown so far shows the break in, why not show the whole story. Why wouldn't the American people be entitled to the whole story?

Really, looked like the police were giving a tour to Q

Which is why the common foreigner using an agent won't come to an end. Not everyone investigates completely what the requirements are. For many 30K isn't a big deal and the following year's extension will be closer to the 16K amount. If a person doesn't mind paying the agent and it saves dumping 800K in a Thai bank, who's the victim? Everyone makes a bit of money and everyone is happy.

The video shows another side of the story. It doesn't change anything but certainly not offensive.

I would assume the weak spots will be adequately upgraded now.

Follow along where I gave a link to the safety windows installed except for the windows the rioters chose. I find it unbelievable that the most important building in the USA shouldn't be properly protected.

You can drop a lit cig into diesel and it won't explode. But yeah, I always turn my car off. It's just common practice.

Having not been there before it's hard to gauge which beach is best but White Sand Beach should be a safe bet because it's the most polular. Some good recommendations which I've checked out. One of the things here in Thailand is it's not common to have say 2 queen beds or 1 queen and a smaller bed for kid. So picking a hotel is also based on number of beds available.

It It's diesel fuel then zero danger. I think even for other fuels the risk is minimal. What about the other cars coming and going next to you while fueling.

Looks nice, will check out further. If I was solo I'd do you suggest. Prices should be lower if done online, I'd think.

I want to visit for a few days, hotel on the beach, walking to bars and restaurants. Taking the ole lady and kid, looking for a maybe 4 star joint. We'll have a car but don't really want to drive except for sightseeing. Would like a nice room close to everything and a nice beach. Probably looking in the 2700-3000thb/nt range.

Phala Beach and surrounding area is dreadful, recommend you stay in Patts

20 thb extra for foreigners

The burglar with the horns is serving time, don't you know.

If a Police Force's sole job is to protect your house and it gets broken into, then blame would fall on them.

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a37884804/january-6-capitol-riot-unreinforced-windows/ The majority of the Capitol’s 658 single-pane windows were quietly upgraded during a 2017-19 renovation of the historic building. The original wooden frames and glass were covered with a second metal frame containing bomb-resistant glass. 2 windows weren't upgraded and the rioters used those to enter. So you see it's entirely possible to prevent rioters from entering. Someone should be held accountable for not securing the Capitol properly.

I've heard of victim blaming before but this must be the first 'building blaming' I've seen. Now that is just silly. But to be expected. Steel bars covering windows is not a bad idea now is it. Again, the Capitol police allowing this to happen is more of a story than TC showing a video that doesn't follow the storyline of investigations committee.

I'm referring to the building itself. They never should have been able to breach the doors and windows with sticks. C'mon man.

The fact that a bunch of idiots with sticks were able to enter the Capitol in the first place should be addressed. That should be the story. But, no folks are angry at TC for showing another side of the story.

This is actually brilliant. Transfer 116 IO's or whatever. Now when these positions are filled again and these 116 positions will most likely if not certainly require a handsome fee to be paid. This could be a huge payday for the higher ups who share the loot.

I recently bought some land for my kid. We put in mother's name/kid's name. Don't know what the 6 mos deal is unless in 6 months the kid will be old enough to have in her sole name.

When I apply for extension using the monthly deposit method I make sure I have time to hire an agent if for some unforeseen reason it's needed. Mine's coming up in the next few months. No one is forced to use an agent. If you don't qualify for an extension you are free to hire an agent and you're free to depart Thailand. It's all consensual. The rules are clear, sort of.

Not sure you can blame guys using agents for having to keep money in bank longer. Corruption is part of the Thailand charm is it not?

I said this particular corruption is victimless not corruption in general. Does the best candidate for a job get hired? Perhaps but not before they pay handsomely.

Corruption happens in every aspect of Thai life. you don't benefit nor do you suffer.
