He is just a snitch, snitches do not do well in the limelight.

But there might be some good come out of all this because it was the RTP that announced publicly that he was an informer!!

Now then, for all those other snitches out there , both existing or potential,  "Do you feel lucky punk?"

We couldn't get through a thread about domestic violence without one of those "well she must have deserved it" comments...

And it doesn't take long for the TVF feminists to change somebody correctly stating "you don't really know what the lady might have done to prompt the action" into "well she must have deserved it" ...

Yes and no. The choices available in Pattaya are depressingly minimal. But sure it's good of its a place you want to eat at.

Yep.Agree. I would have liked more choice of "real" Japanese like the one on second road near the rear gate into Wat Chai...

In the evening do the ladyboys wear ballroom dresses....????

What bank was it? I had the same thing happen to me when I lived in Surin province about 20 years ago. If I remember correctly after all this time somebody used an ATM in Bangkok with my Lloyd's and Barclays debit cards whilst I was in Surin with the cards in my wallet.

I called both banks' fraud line in UK immediately and got the money back within a month...

I was referring to when you present the letter to your local Imm office when applying to extend.

 

To apply for the letter see here:

Brilliant - I was searching for exactly that..

IME they'll take your word for it if you arrive at the IO with your own calculation.

 

HTH

At the British Embassy to get the letter..??..I am thinking of going 50:50 as my Health Insurance Premiums increase by digging into my lump sum..

To apply for the extension of stay they will need to have 800k baht in a Thai bank for 60 day or proof of 65k baht income proven by a letter from their embassy or a combination of the 2 totaling 800k baht.

I haven't really thought about it before but if your pension is in GBP what published exchange rate do they use..??

That's one of the very common medicines that I take. When I started on it I asked around at many pharmacies here, and Fascino was by far the cheapest even without the discount card.

I have never paid anything for my discount card. Dont know why not.

I mentioned earlier that I took my Fascino receipt to a local pharmacy and they agreed to charge the same price. I am going there tomorrow to see if the agreement still stands, if not then I'll jump on the Baht bus to Fascino. I got my discount card "free" too as my first purchase was over a predetermined amount.Unfortunately I have forgotten what it was...

Regarding my visit to the pharmacy at Big C  today. Neither of the 2 people serving was the bloke I see serving in there regularly when I have walked passed previously and they might have been "trying it on" but that's up to them....

Each to their own but why would anyone want to buy and wear second hand clothes ?

Maybe because buying second hand jeans is cheaper than buying new jeans that are expensive because they are artificially made to look ..........used..

Thanks for the reply and hopefully it'll serve as a warning to others that they should at least carry some form of a passport with valid permission at all times.

 

I don't need any further proof that Thai jails are NoT inviting.

Yup! That's why I always post it on threads like these. I don't care admitting my stupidity if it helps others  ...!!

I know that was was a  long time ago but in all sincerity did you happen to have a copy of your passport with you?

 

Nope, I was a stupid naughty little boy ....

I buy all my medicine from the chemist1st floor of Big C Pattaya Tai (located just before the entrance of supermarket

When I compared 3 years ago with Fascino, he was still cheaper than Fascino.

I am just back from there.

A box of Amplopine10 was 500 Baht in there whereas it is 300 in Fascino

Saw 5l Mont Clair in Friendship today for 1490 baht which is almost the same as i was paying for 10l from Tesco, a 100% increase !!

I am going through a one week post Songkran de-tox but will be buying Castle Creek next Friday. I'll check out the prices of Mont Clair whilst there...

You could probably book a whole floor in the Pattaya Hilton for one night for 100k .......  But it seems he preferred part of a floor in the Bangkok Hilton for a longer period instead..

I suggest building a wall around Pattaya and keeping the gates locked for a year- then see who or what emerges...

ThaiVisa will close down through lack of use because there will be nobody to feel superior over...

I shall hopefully be using it in the next couple of weeks when booking a table for 4 in The Kitchen on second road so I'll let you know how it went. I shall be booking early in the day for 50% discount and we'll be ordering a mix of farang and thai food.. I've eaten there before and have no complaints about the food or service and they do bottles of wine at reasonable prices..

Unless, of course, somebody reports on here that it's a load of borrocks ....

if you dont mind me asking, what did you do to end up there in 97'?

I was being a naughty little boy in Patpong and got lifted (which was all sorted out) - but then I was taken to IDC because I didn't have my passport with me...It took 3 weeks for the Embassy to enter my apartment and get it back to show I was legal...

"Blair is Britain's PM not englands"

 

 OOPS!  Tony Blair had his 10 years of infamy as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom between 1997 and 2007. He still thinks he's relevant in his Major attempts to derail the wobbly Brexit plans by Brown-nosing the E.U., and which May come to pass.

All well and good but mine was a one sided conversation with a prison guard and not a point for clarification on Jeremy Paxman show.........Hmmmm maybe there are similarities after all.....

If Thailand keeps arresting these undesirable  visitors at the current rate, I think in another 300 years most of the present ones will be gone.

 

 

Undesirable?

How many illegal workers are there that will work for next to bugger all for doing jobs that nobody else will do for the same pay.... i.e. less than 300 baht a day!!

Or by undesirables are you referring to criminals that can well afford a passport, visa and money in the bank that will never be caught by such "raids"...
