The lifeguards in Patong beach are useless, I was there last week and saw them all on their phones instead of looking at the water. They couldn't even save a drowning fish let a lone a person.

I just got back from 2 weeks in Phuket. 1 week in Karon and 1 in Patong and had a blast. Don't know why people are complaining as Patong is no better then Pattaya and I lived there for 10 years. If you want nice clean beaches then head south, Karon, Kata, Na Harn. If you want to party, night life, malls etc then Patong is your place.

Are you joking? 

We have all done this kind of thing when drunk. 

No we haven't as not everyone who is drunk acts like an idiot. You must be British...

Doesn't the UK have an emergency passport?, Many countries do which can be processed in matter of days, not weeks.

The 25-year-old victim then transferred her money to the scammer’s bank account out of confusion. However, she realized only when it was too late that she never had a credit card, so she was confident that she had been scammed.

You can't fix stupid.

This is exactly the reason why Thailand does not allow visas for more than year even to people who are married to Thai nationals. Nobody will decline to say no mask if they go for their annual renewal. I can now see the bottom of the barrel foreigners who come to Thailand to live on a retirement visa or "wife visa" and their arrogance. And Thai immigration knows this and this the the exact reason they don't approve visas for more than one year at a time. They want to keep these arrogant people under control with their 90-day reporting, TM-30, and yearly extension, etc. etc. They won't say it in public but they know these types of people. 

Nonsense, at my local immigration, not one immigration officer was wearing a mask. What should have done, ask them to wear one before they renewed my visa. News falsh, outside of Bangkok, many Thais just like us farang are not wearing masks.

I would try to get my money back and look at another school for your kid. 

You will get ripped off if you change money at any airport as the exchange rate will be a lot lower then outside the airport as it not might not be big deference if your exchanging small amount of money but if it's considerable amount then exchange it at any street or bank, just not the airport. 

It wont be the end of the world as anyone with internet these these can live stream the games for free.

Shoe is on the other foot for once as it's usually the guards attacking the customers.

Umm in the USA?  If that happened to an illegal overstayer he would have lawyers begging him for business , probably sue and win. Then he would get a statue somewhere. 

Guess you missed the part of the guy throwing bottles at the cops and trying to blow up the neighborhood. In any country in the west he wouldn't be alive to call any lawyer.

err, in the picture? 8 coppers dragging him out his house by the scruff of the neck not enough for you???

You call that being treated like animals lol....If this was in the U.S. or any other country where cops actually have a set they would be picking this guy up with a spatula by now. The guy was throwing bottles at the cops, almost blew up the neighborhood and being a menace. What are the cops supposed to do, roll up the red carpet and thank him for not cooperating. 

It's starting to look like more of an outdoor go go bar then a race these days....Not that I'm complaining.????

Pattaya is looking like Sihanoukville more and more these days with story's like these. 

Looks like the illicit Chinese bandwagon is spilling over from Cambodia and landing in Thailand.
