Doesn't look too bad to me. I have seen one after Thai tenants moved out. crap and piss everywhere. Looked like they took a sledge hammer to it.

Did he fall or was he pushed? Thai Police will no doubt conclude it was suicide.... case closed.

They can start by ending dual pricing at hospitals. I will believe it when I see it.

Do you have a link to that?

Looks to me like the Thai threw the first punch but the Farangs got fined. Typical.

I tried to do it online with CW many times, but have only succeeded once in many years. Application rejected is the norm. I even wrote a polite letter to them about it.... And so I went there.... 470 waiting and no hope of getting seen that day, so I left. Next day I queued yet again, 140 waiting, took 2 hours. Progress comes slowly in Thailand..... if it comes at all. At least they now have a QR code on the ticket, so you can go have lunch while monitoring the queue on your phone. And how can they call it a 1 year visa when you have to go every 90 days?

Should have known, Prostitution is an occupation reserved for Thai nationals only.

Police in Phuket have arrested a Russian national involved in a prostitution ring in a latest crackdown. On Thursday, April 24, officers working under the command of Police Lieutenant General Saksira Pueak-am, Commander of the Tourist Police, arrested a 28 year old Russian woman at a hotel in Phuket Town. The arrest was made under the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act, a law aimed at eradicating prostitution that disrupts public order and annoys locals and tourists. Police Lieutenant Colonel Bannapong Kengrian, Pol. Lt. Col. Nitiphong Mahasaksunthon, and Pol. Lt. Col. Pitiya Thepmuang, all part of the Tourist Police Division 3, led the operation, which saw the arrest of the suspect, who allegedly violated the law by contacting, inviting, or urging people into prostitution. This law targets those who engage in such acts in public spaces or areas that may cause public nuisance, further tarnishing Phuket’s image as a world-renowned tourist destination. According to the police, the suspect was apprehended after a thorough investigation led by the Tourist Police Division’s Investigation Division 2, ensuring that all legal protocols were followed, reported Matichon. Police made it clear that they are committed to rooting out any form of illegal activity that could harm the tourism sector or make tourists feel unsafe. In similar news, Phuket’s tourism industry has been shaken by a scandal involving five women from Uganda, arrested for offering sex services in the island’s entertainment hub. The women were caught engaging in illegal activities in Patong’s Soi Bangla area and were swiftly arrested and deported following a thorough investigation by Phuket Immigration officers. On March 23, officers, led by Police Colonel Songprot Sirisuk and supported by senior staff, took immediate action after receiving public reports about the women’s activities. In other news, in Chiang Mai, a 16 year old girl was arrested by police following a sting operation at a hotel. She allegedly acted as a pimp, arranging sexual services for a 14 year old girl for a fee of 3,500 baht and admitting to earning a 500 baht commission per client.

I think the original post would have been better if it read..... "Tell Us How You Met Your Wife." ....... No doubt some of the answers would be hilarious.

"I just need a cheap, hot place with clean air..." ..... Sounds like my apartment. Though there is hot air eminating from the mouth of Lady Roadrunner.

If you invest (I think its about 200,000 Euros) in places like Portugal or maybe Spain you can get residence visa that leads to citizenship. Just buy property there and you comply with the requirements.

The purpose is to create the perfect man. Each man must find his own way, through his own deeds, to Heaven. Failing which he will be sent back, reborn to try again. I spent my life drinking beer and chasing girls,.... the rest I wasted. Way I see it, God created me the way I am and saw fit that I ended up in Thailand, the land of beer and pussy. What did he expect was going to happen?

On a related subject. Has anyone found a coffee that is guaranteed to be mold free? Coffee beans being known for this contaminant.

Bringing a vehicle into Thailand? Nightmare and likely impossible for a Farang. Forget it!

Ah defamation and lack of responsibility.... must be Thailand again. Why is it such a big problem with Thais when someone complains?

Looks like a hoarder's collection. Some interesting lots there. However, it now costs so much to restore an old car that it is seldom financially viable, unless it is extremely rare and valuable. Better to buy one that is in good condition or already restored where some other poor soul took the hit.

Quite so but..... If you use a Thai lawyer there is no telling what he may (or may not) have done. I recall a friend paying a Thai lawyer to check all the documents etc related to his purchase of a condo. Lawyer took his money and said all was ok. So friend moves into his condo. Not long after there was a knock on the door. The bank wanted to take his condo as the developer had not paid the loan he took out to construct the building. The Thai lawyer had not checked anything. If he had he would have found that the building reg docs were in the hands of the bank. Amazing Thailand.

Duh, cuz dats where da beer is? Looks like the drunk Farang goaded the security guard, but by the law (if there is law in Soi 6) the security guards were at fault for throwing the first punch.

Thais are all about image. If you are rich you are considered high class. I have tried without success to explain that real class is in how one behaves. Such is wasted on those as shallow as the Thai.

Was the lawyer also a nominee? Cannot trust anything or anyone in Thailand.

Wide angle lens distorts the face.

Perfect choice of words to describe what they are. Yes, pressure test to find the leak

No nothing to see here. No problem. Pssst... wanna buy a condo?

Da Roadrunner here will have died long before that;- heart attack whilst humping some 18 year old bar girl.... He came and he went!

I returned to Thailand last Sept' and have a new Retirement Visa since then. But none of this seems relevant as no matter the circumstances, in 20 years I have only managed to do it online once!
