Dead Sea Turtle Washes Ashore on Jomtien Beach
Bday Prang replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
isn't it perfectly normal for wild animals to die , often before reaching the end of their natural life expectancy.? I thought it was called "natural" What is to be gained from the "authorities" getting involved, and what is the point of performing an autopsy ? -

Swedish Man Arrested for Allegedly Working at a Bar in Karon

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 -
Debit card scam
Bday Prang replied to Lacessit's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
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 -

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" -

Debit card scam
Bday Prang replied to Lacessit's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
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 -

Medical Experts Warn Against LSD ‘Death Stamps’
Bday Prang replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
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 -

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
