This is happening all over Asia, Thai girls recruited to work in massage parlours and spas that in-fact are sex workers offering sexual services and working as escorts.

There’s you answer 100% correct! The S. Korea gig got shutdown

with a lot of overstayers being sent back.

Theyve started checks on young females traveling alone for first time knowing it was for working in S. Korea. The authorities stop

them from leaving LOS.

Someon must have arrangements with a special channel because it’s not easy to get a visa for China going the normal route.

Ive visited Thailand a on business for 4-5 years and now lived here 

3 years in January. All different areas in South Thailand no trips

up North. I’ve never been unfortunate to be shaken down by Police.

That does not save you from finding "out of stock" signs every other time.

They were out of corn tortillas for a couple three times I went 

I sent an email asking about stock situation. They had some in two

later and held for me. I live 60 km away so not a daily or weekly trip.

Good selection and if you’ve plenty of time to look around you’ll see well stocked. Good butcher are with good meat.

I will ask our neighbor for his number. It may take a couple days.

I get what you are saying, but, if these forums are indeed MONITORED I believe we have already shot our collective selves in the foot here.

Your absolutely correct. I have no doubt that the forum is monitored along with other social media.

As in all things one needs to think what they post

I find your post utterly confusing and disjointed, but then that's just me...

??? All opinions should be digested and part of the end goal solution......

OP BB1958 sounds like a great idea on paper. Now how to put the plan in action. If we could get someone’s attention that’s innovative and they like the idea and want to present it’s a win win.

Attached is for fellow Americans who thought the US Embassy 

wasn’t listening. For those that complained congratulations you helped throw yourself under the bus...

For those who who have lived in The Kingdom continuously since Oct. 1998. Article relates to your income requirement of 20,000 bht

A bit of a bizarre story... ..  make sure they don’t poss test you at the border. Best to be quiet about some....things.

It’s ridiculous behavior if over your limit then wander to where your 

staying and go to sleep....  says you from figuring out who you need to apologize to the next morning..

i stop in the bars once and again and a couple of the restaurants.

One morning a bit of a hangover eating breakfast at a place I think

has fantastic breakfast. A guy standing at the entrance yelling 

f the brits...... people sitting around enjoying breakfast, I’m 64

and theee were a few that had more miles on the clock than me.

The owner finally had enough told the guy to move on....after 

a few more words he left...

was told the guy does that often and he’s had his clock

cleaned a few times. It’s said he’s got of big move but 

when it’s time to defend himself.... knock out. 

An idiot

 My question what is Loy Khratong day?

BUT.... I am a tax paying resident here and I still have to get out if wife dies or I wasn't able to come up with the sums that they require. It is somewhat confusing when there are different figures for different nationalities.  Were you aware of that?

 

A Laos, Burmese, Vietnamese gentleman with a Thai wife has to show less money to stay here! That makes no sense to me. Sure, he might not have my earning potential but does his rice cost less than mine? Is the pork that he buys costing less than mine? Can he buy fuel for his bike/car/truck cheaper than me?

 

There is no consistency with the rules regarding marriage extensions and that makes no sense.

A very good response now how can we address to immigration or 

whoever are the ones that can make change. Seriously!

I have always wondered why a single person needs 800,000 to look after himself and a married person with a wife and possibley a couple of kids to look after only needs 400,000 ??

Maybe they understand the requirement is on the high mark for 

singles. For married a way of saying thank you for taking care of your Thai family.

 Most of you saw S. Korea deported 10,000 Thai on overstay and

think there’s another 127,000.......... Wow.

knew a thai person went to S.Korea to work on tourist visa as many have. She (Tom) a woman portrays as man. First day work to 

difficult next day told boss she a woman not do man work. Boss

daid look like man do man work. Came back before visa expired 

It’s your friend go....  

Give this a look over.

In US I had the central air at 22 here it’s on 25/26 and seems cold 

at times. The A/C is only in 1 bedroom. I have on now 24/7.

I’ve not rode the moto much lately. Before I rode moto everyday 

trips around the country side 3-4 hrs a day. We’re in the NE riding in the heat everyday without A/C wasn’t a problem.

Our windows don’t have screens on them and if opened mosquitoes are a problem. If I can find a place to get screens 

installed this time of your if the windows were open it wouldn’t 

be a problem.

Thinking out of the box...   from what I’ve read and it’s not been a 

lot. Most of all types condo, house, townhome and land are all seeing slowing and any increase is minimum at most. 

Depending if you buying to resell who would be your target buyers?

Thai, Farang or mix. If the income proof becomes an issue and causes an exodus. Could result in fewer buyers.

i was very very fortunate when I sold my home in California

the sell prices doubled 2-1/2 yrs after I purchased sold it for 

$374,000 more than what I paid. Sell was because move to 

APAC. 

Every once in a while I’d get emails from the Broker that sold the 

house for us. About 4 months after we sold it the market bottom our the family that bought it were forced to walk away from the house. It was on market for half what I sold it for.

Felt sorry for the family a lot of people go hit with losses. I was fortunate 

my my point being of the real estate market is flat or softening 

could be a loss or if your investing looking at long term... maybe? 

I’ve been stopped many times in the car. They looked at window sticker to make sure not expired, insurance papers and license.

When we bought the car and no tags one officer wanted to check

odometer it see if miles aren’t excessive. Basically to check if I was feeding him bull. 

Two motos someone once unbolted the other twisted off the yearly

registration sticker

 As noted earlier most the highways 90 but there are areas which 

lower speed limits are posted. If you choose to ignore them keep

your eyes open and watch for cameras. If not you could get a ticket in the mail....at least you’ll be able to see what you look like when driving...

he proceeded to make them too big and too hard

Exactly her friend got enlarged and she wouldn’t shut up until

she got it done. ..... I recommend a size that wouldn’t look over fake..... 

I went the day prior with her for paperwork and that. I’m not very good at Thai but can get by most the time with numbers.

Admin Nurse must have asked about size and wife told her. I said 

did you tell her what we discussed? About to large = ugly

I heard the number. Then why did you tell her... whatever number.

they said tomorrow when dr. come before operation can discuss and they have many sizes stock...

every once in awhile I say those are ugly...  and I don’t know why she isn’t smiling

In other news, Thai boxing professionals are complaining about a new law designed to keep under-12s out of the ring. It beggars belief really.

 

 

The law should stand.... a persons life, health. Is far more important 

than greed. 

Don’t get it....to lazy to turn on volume 

Wow! Glad they’re all OK. .....

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but feel it needs to be told.

ALL Nicety available quota for boating related accidents have 

been used up for the year....

intended humor be aware ..... there’s No complaining allowed.

Enjoy Sunday wherever you are...
