PS -- A LOT of plastic and enhancement surgery going on there....

Don't spoil my dream! I adore the Anime Cartoon / Cosplay type girl. Phwoar!

As for the photo with the handcuffs.... The imagination runs riot!

Pattaya is mainly bars and ladies of the night (unless you are unlucky enough to encounter a ladyboy). Not suitable if you have kids. Try Jomtien just past Pattaya.

Can you post links to you claims that some humans have a higher threshold to pain based on nationality?

Merely stating from obvious observation. Do your own clinical trial. Go whack one on the head and note the reaction.

Thais have a higher pain threshold than Farangs. This includes their hearing. They also have a habit of turning up the bass to the max. It’s the bass note that travels right through the whole building.

If you complain about their noise, don’t be surprised if they beat the crap out of you.

One of the reasons I won’t buy a condo is the fact that if we get a noisy neighbour we are stuck with it. Renting a condo, you can always move out.

Nothing new here. Old Farang comes to Thailand and gets "shafted."

Seriously, why did it take 3 hours to extricate her?

He was giving serious consideration as to whether he should return to Thailand.... and then the roof blew off.

if you dont have a work permit because you are not working how can a bank stop you doing exactly as you please with your own money ........its incredulous!

As with all things Thai, anything is possible. I had no problem making an outbound transfer without work permit cuz the bank manager is my friend. Amazing Thailand.

P.S. How safe is DeeMoney?

Nothing to worry about this is just a warm up for the mico-chip implant on arrival,,,, 

Or maybe a GPS linked ankle bracelet so they would always know where we are. At least we would no longer need to make 90 day reports.

(The UN crying foul: "Human rights violation, racism, arbitrary act of a semi-democratic Governement", etc etc)

Well, the UN might if we were Muslims! However, most of us on this thread are Westerners in Thailand, nobody knows or cares about us. Relax, you'll get your Visa, .... so long as you have money.

Xanax.... Psychiatric drug, mind altering stuff. Can have very nasty side effects.

Weed man..... Well, what can you expect from the piss takers on this site? Actually, Thailand is making Cannabidiol (CBD) legal for medical purposes.... However, unless you are a farmer you shouldn't be going into the farming business..... So on second thoughts, just smoke the weed.

And Immigration have the nerve to require us all to bring in yet more money for the Visa. Conveniently forgetting to inform us of the difficulties of getting it out again! Always keep a copy of the bank's record of any funds brought in.

Don't you love a country where a spade is called a spade?

Oops that wasn't really pc was it?

But seriously it is refreshing not to be subject to the nonsense faux censorship of the west, where people cannot speak their mind without fear of being crucified. 

 

I worked in in a remote mining town in the Northern Territory of Australia. A friend and the local big boss( Google Gallurway Yunupingu if you feel like it) were going into a business partnership. Said friend wanted some certainty in the relationship. He said he wanted it in black and white. Local boss simply said I'm black you're white. No malice involved simply stating the obvious. The pc crowd would have gone in to melt down. Neither of those guys gave shit. It is what it is.

The recent events in New Zealand really crystallised how far this has come. 

When the bad guy blew up the concert in Manchester we were encouraged to hug a Muslim. When the white nut case shot 50 odd Muslims in Christchurch we are encouraged to hug a Muslim. 

This is only an example and not a call to change the tone of this thread.

When Big Joke says black or whatever... It is what it is.

So are we now expected to hug Big Joke?

I am trying to decide who is taking the piss here, the original poster or those who replied. Well, it beats reading the Visa Forum.

One should keep ones head down and one will be ok unless one has been rorting the system and one cannot meet the quite easy requirements for ones extension of stay. If that is the case one should be prepared to implements ones plan B.

Indeed, plan B already exists in the form of a list of potential alternate countries. Big Joke is no doubt losing sleep over the potential exit of so many Farang.

Theresa May must be the first leader in history to fall on her sword and miss!

May should have known negotiating a deal was always a 27:1 odds suicide mission. Her handling of it was too weak. Now she’s failed and had enough of it and is offering to leave the sinking ship rather than go down with it. But who else have we got that can do the job….. ? The silence is deafening.

The introduction of Artificial Intelligence that includes ten finger fingerprinting and iris recognition technology would speed up applications and make them harder to circumvent. 

They can't even get the existing (non-existing) 90 day online report to function.

Repeatedly changing the rules only convinces me that we have no stability or entitlement here, our Visas are not worth the paper they are printed on.

One can understand if it is encroachment on beach land (all of which which belongs to the state), but this is going to put the fear of Buddha up many Farang who have bought property here via a Thai company.

Latest nail in the coffin. Once they realize they can take your property and auction it off for a profit there will be no stopping their greed. Increasingly it looks like time to leave.

So how can one safely purchase property here? It is known that many mainland Chinese are buying now. Estate agents, often with Farang staff, are openly selling to Farangs. How is it being done and will the powers that be take their properties too?

What you should do is ... ask an agent, IO prefered method!

This might be a whole lot easier. Thailand's "world class" bureaucracy can usually be circumvented under the table. Things are getting ridiculous though, there are other places to go.....

A friend on vacation in Pattaya, met and married what must have been the only non freelancer / non ladyboy on the whole Pattaya seafront! So anything is possible. But if you are expecting to meet a nice girl then most likely you need to live here.

Please, for obvious reasons, this topic can't be focused on sex tourism or sexpats. There are specialized forums for people that want to discuss that in detail. Not here. 

Gentlemen the OP is trying to have a meaningful serious debate here.... (some chance!)..... Get wiv it, if there is no nookie most of us on this forum are not going. End of.
