  1. Meeting a lot of other expats and tourists in Thailand is not that difficult. As long as there is something in common. You just have to enjoy spending most of your time drinking booze.
  2. So the victim never came forward. But the two drivers were found and arrested anyway. They admitted it and only fined 1000 each. And the typical two against or even more against one. Sounds like they “ learned” their lesson to me. Yeah right.
  3. I have used Agoda numerous times to book hotels. And the prices were equal to or less than the hotel website.
  4. Well I guess if this means bad behavior, overstayers , and illegal activities. The amount of foreigners will drastically decrease. Especially if it’s done all over Thailand.
  5. I have eaten sushi in the States and Japan. Not everyone eats it with soy or wasabi. It’s a matter of taste. And depending on the quality of the fish it varies in price. And not all sushi is raw. So people that think all sushi is raw fish don’t know anything about it. Many places freeze the fish first. To kill any parasites.
  6. After an 11 years overstay. Hopefully immigration will do their job and detain him. Just another freeloader living in Thailand.
  7. Frustrating but anything can happen. I have my accounts in a major USA bank. Not very often. But sometimes there is an issue and certain systems are down.
  8. She appears to be Asian. But no indication from where. I’m sure if it was a Westerner it would be published
  9. Well actually you can classify the expats living in Thailand as immigrants also. So I guess these expats who talk negatively. They are also to referring themselves or probably should.
  10. Good job by the little fella. But of course some bitter people will find negativity in everything
  11. Illegal things have been around for a while. The only way someone would get pics or offers of pics. Is if they subscribe to a site or ask for them person to person. Im a member of some social media sites. And never once have I gotten or received offers for explicit pictures or content.
  12. You probably should see a dermatologist if nothing seems to help. It could be eczema or another type of condition. You have to find the specific product to treat the specific condition. That’s where the dermatologist would come in.
  13. That’s unfortunately the way it is fair or not. I know that extra 70 baht would break the bank for some people. If people had health insurance that 70 baht would be taken care of lol.
  14. Sorry for your loss. The OP is asking for specific information. Not opinions of what the OP family thinks. Or judge what the OP father would have wanted In one of the posts it gives you a link to the United States Embassy rules for emergency visas. You can try that route. My suggestion is to have him cremated in Thailand. Have a family member take an emergency flight to get the urn containing the remains and transport it back with them. You can discuss this with the specific airline. And of course the Embassy. Another option is. Contact DHL or Fed Ex and see about shipping the urn with remains to your location. I know this could be a risk, but just another option. Personally I would rather have a family member personally carry it back. Best of luck. I’m sure everything will work out . I just noticed you have another post regarding this issue. About actually shipping the body back. I suggest you contact the United States Embassy for assistance. This way you can discuss all your options. And of course the airline you are thinking of using if the body will be transported.
  15. Unfortunately many women in third world type countries are married to men that most other women would have nothing to do with. The women usually marry these guys out of need. These types of men usually treat them badly , are drunks, don’t have much, going for them financially or otherwise.
  16. So a 16 year old girl is on a dating app looking for men. She agrees to meet a man. A man from his photo looks like a senior citizen. And he said he wanted to get married. I can see where he could have allegedly taken advantage of the situation. But odd that she would have met a guy like that in the first place. A guy that looks old enough to be her grandfather.
  17. From the description of the people at the meeting. Their behavior and comments. I’m surprised they haven’t moved to Thailand. They sound like they would be right at home.
  18. Gay scenes in movies, television, etc, is not extremely common. Nevertheless someone watching them is not just going to make the person have a gay lifestyle. It has to do with the person themselves. And not by watching gay scenes on television or movies. Yes things have changed. This isn’t the 18th or 19th century.
  19. Unfortunately you should count your change every where you go. Things like this can and does happen all over. Not just Thailand.
  20. Face masks were worn at times in some Asian countries even before Covid. They are used for pollution. And if a person is ill , such as a cold.
  21. I had to have chemotherapy back in 1988. And from one of the side effects. I have internal and external hemorrhoids. If I have bleeding or discomfort I would go for an exam. The doctor you would see is a Colorectal Surgeon.
  22. If your condition hasn’t been resolved you need to see an eye doctor. It’s reoccurring because you dont know what it is or the cause. And you are self treating.
  23. She shouldn’t have got into the taxi if it didn’t match the vehicle sent. And as for the meter being covered. When I used Grab, sometimes they send a taxi. And the meter is covered sometimes. Hopefully she also did report the driver to Bolt. The story is a little different though. This time a foreigner wasn’t taken advantage of.
  24. I was told by a nurse I knew from a well known hospital in Bangkok. She said private hospitals are required to accept serious emergency cases. Such as the type of emergency in this story. If the patient has insurance or not. Near where I lived in Bangkok. I passed by the scene of an accident. It appeared a motorbike driver had an accident with a car. The motorbike driver was laying on the ground injured. An ambulance responded from the closest hospital which was a newly opened private hospital.
