  1. in the context of entertaining customers in your own bar , it obviously is, or it was for him even emptying an ashtray is fraught with danger as a bar owner
  2. If i remember correctly the definition of work by the immigration authorities is very broad and pretty much all encompassing, something about "exerting your self physically or mentally" you don't even have to be paid. as with most laws here it is applied very subjectively, tourist areas generally take the brunt of it , but if you upset the wrong people, cutting ones grass etc could be risky There have been several light hearted reports on TV over the years of various foreigners personally indulging in rice farming and the like. I doubt there will be many documentaries of that nature in the near future
  3. Apparently its perfectly possible to cancel them. Just not possible to prevent them getting set up in the first place. In my case on both occasions the money was taken before the direct debits were listed in the account details, although to be honest it was not a detail that I regularly checked
  4. "The Thai Sexwork Challenge" Sounds like the title of yet another "Reality TV " show
  5. I'm sure he will be travelling under "full medical supervision" His personal team of consultants must think all their birthdays have come at once,
  6. knew of a Belgian guy in Pattaya who owned a popular bar, he fell out with his missis and she ended up with a Thai cop who obviously had intentions of becoming involved. one day they "caught" him talking to a customer, the charge was "entertaining"
  7. Whatever he called it , it appears he was doing very nicely out of it
  8. businesses are not charities, but many charities are big business and pay their senior staff eye watering salaries, Its actually quite laughable how they can keep a straight face when begging for money
  9. indeed those are commonly misused words just like "charity" their purpose is to imply totally altruistic intentions, "foundations" are another In reality nothing is further from the truth
  10. i very much doubt it , A survey of 2 people is hardly a representative sample
  11. so it might be that a few pre existing conditions could disappear with them , not a bad thing for those considering insurance for the first time
  12. Just be careful you don't fall foul of any defamation laws. I have had similar issues in the UK after paying for Visas using the E- visa system twice now within 24 hours of paying for visas I had money taken from my account, in both instances a direct debit had been set up linked to a company in Germany of all places! The bank refunded the money but when I asked the bank if it was possible for me to stop any future direct debits being set up without my prior approval I was fold it was not possible to do so. Apparently anybody or any company can set up a direct debit if they have the required details and the only recourse is to rely on the direct debit guarantee scheme in which banks "promise" to refund fraudulent debits. I personally do not find this very reassuring, having to rely on a banks "honesty" does not inspire confidence
  13. Helping the public by taxing them more, and increasing their debt, seems to be a common approach worldwide
  14. i'm feeling seriously nostalgic having read your post, especially as a 900ss was my dream bike back in the day,
  15. Hah As has been seen over and over again, the professional opinions of doctors are available to the highest bidder they will endorse or renounce anything for money , that is the only explanation, a 100% love of money. It eases their conscience if they have no real knowledge of the product / matter they are commenting on, which when it comes to recreational drugs means pretty much all of them . Mo problem about that in this particular case as the person issuing the death stamp warning, the second in command of the "Department of Medical Services" Deputy Director-General Pairoj Surattanawanich does not appear to be a medical man but a General The other guy quoted doesn't use the "DR" title prefix either, which they all do if they can, so i doubt he's a doc either
  16. I forgotten about that rumour. lol Anybody remember microdots ? It was unreal how something so small cloud have such a profound effect
  17. normally every friday and saturday for us. I would always end up thinking how on earth will I be going to work on monday, but I always made it in. Not sure how I'd like it nowadays, but I know a good way of finding out . Is it widely available again nowadays?
  18. The cheap weed was more than likely destined for the stash boxes of vulnerable, white , underage, council estate girls, as part of his gangs grooming operations. Drugs were often given free by the pakistani perpareators to help ingratiate themselves with their prospective victims. If that failed to do the trick they would up the odds and ply them with "white lightening" cider or "Buckfast" a potentially lethal cocktail including fortified wine and caffeine, prepared by monks and beloved by Scottish people In the event that the more stubborn lasses still refused succumb to temptation they would go all out and offer them free kebab meat and chips and diet coke
  19. Can anybody help me out here? How on earth does an online dispute about charity boxing lead to this ? Its a pretty surreal excuse is he connected to the LSD case by any chance
  20. 30kg he was on the limit of his luggage weight allowance, 1 more gram and his potential profits would have been decimated by the excess baggage charges
  21. one can probably buy cheap brick weed in Thailand for around 2 baht a gram maybe less in such quantities, It could fetch the equivalent of 250 baht / gram in the UK ( have seen it for sale at £150 / ounce Not a bad mark up if he had got away with it
  22. He was a courier / smuggler nowhere in the OP did it imply he used , sold, or pushed. although if his suitcase was equipped with wheels he may have been pushing, or maybe dragging , depending on his gait
  23. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a link, these people are considered "experts" the very rubbish they spew out becomes the subject matter of "links" In fact we have probably just witnessed the actual making of a "link" that will be referred to by others and considered as fact That's how things seem to work these days
