Exactly.. 

The real criminals have the money to pay their way out of these situations, until they dismember someone. then there is no hiding place for the IMMI and RTP. They have to been seen to be doing their job.

I'm sure Thailand is now much safer thanks to the hard work involved in taking this hard-core criminal off the streets !!!... 

 

Perhaps this is what the Wife wanted, did she alert immigration ? 

Somewhat dysfunctional if so, the kids will now grow up without a father. 

 

Even if he was divorced, could he have not gone the extension route based on parent of a Thai child ? (assuming he's registered as the father). 

 

What I never understand is. he has been here 3 years, using what, for money? The house in the picture doesn't look like a cheap house to rent. Up North, very close for border runs, and like you say: a dependance visa if the children are his...

Doubt it.

But a toasty triton is the least of his problems.

Wasn't his car, it belonged to another member of his Thai wife's family. So the insurance should pay out.

M5 is about 16/17

It does say GRADE 5 in the article which is 10/11 years old, don't forget a novice monk can be any age. In the photo, he doesn't look like a 16/17-year-old.

No way will the son of a famous and rich person, from wherever, be put to death in Thailand. It won't happen. The death penalty is designed and carried out on poor people. Those with no money and power.

I do believe the death penalty hasn't been carried out for near ten years now. Plus isn't the cyanide killer facing the death penalty? She is the wife of a high ranking police officer. If Spain doesn't have the death penalty, then I doute very much he will be put to death. 50 years or more would be my guess.

I wonder why. Which party is in there that they don't want to mention?

Could be anyone of them. If it's the MFP, then it is a good move to change the constitution and get the general's out of power. If it's Prawit, then they are looking to blunder the treasury Ha!

While driving in Thailand, I have often wondered why gangs of Indian men walk down the middle of the street. I have thought that this behavior might be part of their culture. Or perhaps the Indians do not pay much attention to safety. Maybe I think too much.

You have to understand, they come from a country where 300 people crossing the river Ganges on a ferry built to carry 100 people.  They have no idea about road safety.

Lawless, and they're cracking down on retirement visas.

 

It's all a bit of a big joke isn't it?

This is Joke painting a rosy picture to make it look like he is going after the gangs and criminals. Joke knows already that most gang members and criminals have retirement and even residence visas because they have access to millions of Bhat in their accounts, Remember Joke was removed once for fleecing wealthy foreigners.

Big Joke declares that it is necessary to amend the pension permit law because it is too easy to obtain it with 800,000 B. and that to attract quality people it will be necessary to amend it. I assume he meant quality person who is willing to deposit a few million in Thai bank.

 

The tic tac has begun for our departure from the country of the quick smile.

The easiest way to do it is raising the retirement age for foreigners in Thailand to  65. AS that is when most countries set the age to retire, with a pension, Joke has known all along about these so-called biker clubs, but like the article said , the gangs only targeted foreigners, So no action taken, just a brown envelope every other month. Joke is looking to make more money.

Mixed messaging. Free visas then dual pricing on national parks and historical sites.

Don't forget double  pricing on Medical care, even if you have medical insurance.

How many people would NOT want to run away after being removed by a military coup and their courts?  He would have been an idiot not to hit the road as the deck was stacked against him.

He didn't run, he was told to leave and allowed to take his money with him.

The restaurant owner has no right to visit the customers home without permission, for whatever the reason. It is harassment.

Basically this is not the Thai. Usually Thais don't complain out loud, they just don't return.

I think that was more to do with the amount of time the person spent posting negative comments on the review page. It went on for weeks.

The power of ice as a nightcap?

I was thinking the same, especially with the "nonsense ranting". A friend of mine, in England, had his drink spiked and he set off on a ranting rage about everyone and everything, he wasn't naked and we were there to make sure we got him home to sleep it off. In the morning he couldn't remember a thing.

There is no way pita goes anywhere except a jail cell. The army won't allow it. All Move forward can do is publicly ditch the coalition and become the opposition. Phu Thai will have to deal with a very angry electorate and those trade deals they want with Europe will be benched. They have acknowledged that on Thai pbs today eu does not like talking to authortiean government, forcing the economy to be solely reliant on china. They can then run again in 4 years. Unless the Thais have some fight in them but I don't see it. The country's elite want to be stuck in the last century and I don't see how you fix that 

It is all about article 112. in the MFP's manifesto. The king is worried and other parties won't support it. Yet it was in the manifesto long before the election and the Thai people still voted for it. If article 112 is removed the other would back MFP.

Why would anybody act as a Guarantor for somebody that cannot meet the Bank criteria for a Loan, is beyond my comprehension

If the borrower does not meet the Bank criteria, then sure as eggs are eggs they will not meet the Guarantors

Because many Guarantors are Family, or trusted friends, they will not pursue the Loan default and choose to pay to save the embarrassment ( face ) bought upon them

Some, not all, deliberately choose to go the Guarantor route as they know they are almost certain they will not be chased by the guarantor on the default

A lot of people guarantor loans, for a price. Plus the people offering the loan get their hands greased as well.

The guarantor route is the way many Thais go in order to buy a new car and do not have the money to show they qualify.  A friends wife had to do the as the friend would not pay for the car outright and a loan from Krungsri Auto was needed.  The local School director, the friend of the woman's father signed as the guarantor.  The FIL could not sign as he had two cars and a tractor on loan payments.  Of course my friend made the monthly payments so no issues, but just think of those who are not so lucky to have a foreign payment maker in the house.  You may ask, why did not the foreign husband sig as the guarantor and the answer was he is a retiree on a retirement extension of stay and has no WP so the bank would not loan the money for the car with him as the guarantor.

 

Those who take the loan default and the guarantor is on the hook and as you can see the stress is too much.  

 

If you can not qualify for aa loan then the banks really should not be making the loans.

It is the greed of the Banks that hand out the loans. The banks should be made to take responsibility for their flippant attitude, the person offering the loan usually gets their hands greased, too.

Whether his renomination was unconstitutional or not is irrelevant as pita was ordered to step down due to an order from the constitutional court. Well that is my understanding but I am sure the experts on here will correct me if this is wrong.

 

There will be a few guys expecting large brown envelopes to pass over their desk to sway a vote one way or another.

Well she has taken a job that I Thai can do, that's the law.

Hence, a Thai sells now fruits instead of Yaa Baa and does't become a criminal addict, mugging or passing at high speed by and snatches your necklace..  ????  

 

The only nationality I have ever been mugged by and burgled by, were Thai nationals. Police took no action in both cases, even though they had CCTV footage of the mugging (outside a shopping mall) and an eye witness who saw the 2  Thai nationals breaking into and leaving my house.
