SCOTT FITZGERSLD

I ONCE was denied boarding a flight from paris to bangkok because i did

not have a return ticket (from thailand).

so i went to the airline office and asked to change the date for tomorrow (there, once

i was talking politely to an asian female officer, a european middle aged woman approached me and said 

in an angry french voice: "stop harassing my collegue !!". i told her "go back to your seat and shut up !!").

anyway, i came back to the airport the next day, and tried my plan.

i knew that the check in officers just look for problems and troubles to give to the passenger,

so my plan was to distract them and ask them about a problem with a stamp in my passport

and if they were sure it will not create a problem in bangkok air port and can they please

ask their supervisor, and it worked ! they forgot completely about the "return ticket" !!

won't admit their guilt/

I'm hoping this will not affect money transfers. Have to transfer money every month for immigration

so this is your worry now? immigration?

if money transfers will stop it means all international

trade will stop, and than you will have to worry about something

completly different from immigration.

I've had a Chinese person put their bare feet on my armrest during a flight back from working in Europe, had one sat behind me belching and farting while swigging grog from what looked like a cider jug on the way to HK and had one forcefully push into me while queuing to go to work at DMK

i also had similar experiences with chinese and hong kong people...

in hong kong i felt like they are deliberately bumping into me...like

waiting until i pass besides them and than bump...man and woman alike...is that

a coincidence or are they do it on purpose?

Slavery, as that's what it is. It is up there with paedos for me. 10 years is far too lenient. The suffering she has inflicted on so many, should amount to 10 years per victim.

 

 

don't get too excited. 

she was just another pimp, propably not a violent one, as the supply

of sex workers in poor - and rich! - countries is far exceeding demand.

i am sure that all her "victims" knew very well that they are going to be employed 

as sex workers, and were happy to work in a rich country like sweatzerland, 

where they can make 5 times more for the same work they did anyway in thailand.

her big mistake was not paying well, or some other business dispute.

in germany prostitution is 100% legal, and prostitutes are

even required to issue tax invoices.

as much as prostitution is disgusting, it is nothing like the "trafficked" movies. in most

cases sex workers know and want to work in that job.

As the economy continues to tank, this and other criminal activities will increase.

THAT is true. 

i heard an expert saying that if corona virus will cause

serious shortages in cash, food and other supplies, police and security forces

will start robbing people in the street, even from their food (globaly).

major U.S. bank predicts gold to hit 1800 soon, that is

10% rise from current price.

but  A better investment might be silver. 

one ETF that tracks silver is SLV

Over a 3500 death flu

get it deep down your head - THIS IS NOT THE FLU !

QATAR , and all other arab airlines, offer mlow level

of services and are dangerous to fly with,

and no low price will justify using them.

that is besides the low quality of attitude you get there.

i tried QATAR few times and understood quickly it is not for me.

most of the crew there is working on very low wages and temporary contracts, hence

they don't care much.

i got there few strange remarks, like when i once booked into a flight with them  :"are

you working for the airlines"...as if i am a spy for other airline...

other time when i asked an air steward how did she got this job, and she started answering

when a higher rank steward interfered and shouted at me: "GO BACK TO YOUR SEAT".

and even the terminal there looks like a mess...

WOOOOW unbeliveable !!

OIL LOST 20% TODAY !

thanks for this post - i did not believe until i saw it myself !!

this is a historic earth quake !!

we might very well see a blood bath in the markets in the coming weeks !

might triger a 1929 reccesion again !

11 years of bul run (in the u.s. markets) have come to an end ....

I have no connections there nor do I know what rights - if any I have. I am considering not going there any more

indeed you do not have any rights in thailand, and not just because you are farang

but because this is how thailand works.

a policeman can arrest you for any stupid reason and when you will be brougth in front

of a judge there is not much you can do, unless of course if you will hire an expensive lawyer

that will cost you more.

i stopped riding bikes in thailand after a similar incident. i stopped in red light 

and just pulled the gas a bit to keep the engine working. that jumped a policeman

who stood right besides me. i did not see him. maybe he took it personally.

he told me to hand over my lisence and said i will get it only in the police station.

i asked why? what did i do wrong? and he looked very angry and said he will AREEST

me. so i went to the police station where they fined me 1000 baht, basically for nothing.

this made me wonder if there is a way to dispute all those traffic fines, and the 

answer is propably no. the only way is - stop using cars and bikes in thailand.

YOUTUBE is full of videos like that, of stubborn hard arrogant chinese woman

(mostly woman) fighting policeman and security who want to arrest them.

they are been educated to fight man even with violence, and propably most of them

are spoiled single child.

happaned to me once in china, when i went on long ride bus with a marked seat

ticket. i found in my place a middle aged woman who refused to give up.

i called the security and they tried to remove her by force, to no avail.

aventually i was given another seat, the seat of the security man, who gave

up traveling because of that dumb  china woman.

Thailand might very well be a superspreader country of the virus, without even knowing it.

The reason why Kuweit and other countries restricted entry from thailand is because

they discovered infected cases among people returning from thailand.

according to latest reports, the virus can survive hot weather and even like it.

Sources in Lombardy, northern Italy, said on Sunday that the Corona virus death toll had risen to 257 from 154 in one day. This is a leap of 103 deaths in the province, which is considered the focus of the virus outbreak in Italy.

Meanwhile, Italy's chief of staff, Salvatore Perina, was reported to be infected with the Corona virus. It was also reported to be in isolation at his home.

Italy is the country with the highest number of infections in Europe, Its second biggest outbreak of disease, according to official data from the boot country, has seen over 6,000 people infected with the Corona virus so far.

Health care policy analyst Chris Meekins said he suspects that official Chinese statistics on coronavirus infections are "really a fraction" of the total number of people who actually contracted the disease; partly because the country has a long history of not giving information about its public health crises.

Who on earth wears and carries "millions" when traveling around?

it is common in asia, especially when going out to pick up . this way they

feel "celebrated" and more attractive .

when i heard the original story i thougth it is an insurance scam, but now that

the taxi confested, i guess it is true, and the police investigated the case so efficiently

because the chinese paid them to do so.

a bigger gang preying on the public and tourists over the last 5 - 6 years

another proof that thailand became more dangerous in the past few years.

a friend of mine who lives in bangkok for years told me that he was robbed near the airport,

by a taxi driver. he took the taxi when he came from a flight, and after

a short drive the taxi stopped, another man got it, and they took all

his luggage at knife point.

i told him: " but this is an old trick, i did not hear such a story in years "...now

i believe him.

how much evidence do the police need to investigate and press charges?

it might indeed possible that the police did not find any evidence for a crime,

and the victims just contacted the newspaper with their story.

reminds me of a banker who told me once how his bank is so good in dedecting

fraudsters, and how they checked once a new client past

transactions in A foreign country account, to find a suspected transaction of

100,000 USD. so they called the payee and she said this guy cheated her.

so i asked the banker why did'nt that woman went to the police and complain

about it?

jsut because some people say they were cheated, it does not mean it is true.

well known saying is "When in a foreign country, always beware of your own" ! Very true.

indeed very true.

the biggest scams and even phisical attacks were exercised on me

by my country fellow man, while abroad.

strangely, when i kept distance from them and dealed with the locals,

i had more gains.

wonder why...

well, he can run, but he can't hide.

or he can hide, but can't hide his money.

unless he has connections with some dirty bankers in eastern europe. it

will be very hard for him to hide such big amounts.

aventually some banker will demand to see the source of

the money, and will freeze his accounts and report to law authorities.

the only place he can get away with such large transactions is

indeed ukraine or russia, where some banks are run by organised crime.
