My personal experience with the TAT, listen very carefully what they say and propose, turn 180 degrees in the other direction and you will be fine.

Sounds like religion, listen to my words but don't look at my actions.......

Malaysia is predominantly Muslim and I've never had a problem buying a beer there (some over 8% alcohol content too) at any minimart up until 10pm I think.

But don't recall any outside advertising though.

Same in Indonesia..

Now I have a free minute I'll reply, I went to Oxford University , but on my way there I passed ' King's Arms ' Pub and didn't make it any further.... Given the lack of sense of humor you , apparently , have, I wonder if it's worth the trouble and time writing this?-????

I have a friend who does private security for a lot of very high net worth individuals, and corporate CEOs, when they travel, and he told me that the only country in the world that he will not take an assignment is the Philippines. When I asked him why he reminded me that he was at the 6th or 7th degree level in six different martial arts, besides the fact that he was 6'5 and about 280 lbs. of muscle. Spent his whole life training. Not the kind of guy you would want to mess with. He told me under normal circumstances he could incapacitate a group of four or five guys, in under a minute. Not in the PI. 

 

He said that in general, the Philippine men had the greatest degree of fighting skills of any group of people in the world, and that if you encountered a single guy, or a group of Philippine guys on the street you just never knew what their level of skill was, and you had to assume that they were expert street fighters. He said many were experts with knives, sticks and improvised weapons. Not the case here.

 

If you add on top of that, the fact that the country is extremely poor and that there's a fairly high level of desperation, it makes the Philippines a very, very dangerous place. Crime there is very opportunistic. And being a foreigner makes you a potential target. Again, not the case in Thailand. 

 

You really have to know what you're doing, you really have to know where you're going at all times, especially at night, and you always have to have eyes in the back of your head, and constantly looking over your shoulder. Of course, it varies depending on the city, the part of the city, and the region. But it is just one of many reasons I would not want to live there. 

 

I've been told this by a number of friends who live in the Philippines and it's been my observation, the several times that I have visited. 

 

I like the people. The level of english skills and the women seem to be the big draw for most guys. But random guys in the street, can be a hazard, and that is variable I would want to have to deal with, regularly. 

Ever been to Nigeria?????

Well if the person presenting the big money ticket doesnt have a Thai entry stamp to cover that time period, they had better get someone else to submit it, to be safe.

And the one submitting it runs off. 5555555

It is indeed illegal to sell it to them, but your second sentence would make so much more sense if you removed 'cannot' ????

According to Thai law it is forbidden to sell alcohol to people under the age of 20 , so why did they need this other protective , for school children, law banning the sale of alcohol at the known hours?????

I am in favour of these restrictions .

For those of us trying to give up drinking  , it can be torturous tp keep seeing alcoholic drinks popping up on social media .

   It was terrible a few years back when Chang and Leo beer signs seemed to be outside every shop and on advertising boards .

  Your head is saying "Dont think about drinking" and your eyes are seeing "Drink, drink, drink" all day long

So you stopped watching movies too.....

Theoretically, ‘Your number’ in the Yellow Tabien Baan house book and your Tax ID number are the same. 

 

The numbers on the Front of the Pink ID card should be the same. For most foreigners this 13 digit number starts with 6 (except for those with PR status and perhaps some others)

 

There is also a 9 digit sequence / number on the rear of the Pink ID card which is not present in the Yellow Tabien Baan house book. This sequence starts with B (for most foreigners) - I’m not sure what this number is, but it was necessary for registering on the Mor Promt App. 

 

For PR and Naturalized starts with Fig.8

My pal and I were having a competition ........ who can bang the smallest woman.

I was winning with a 38Kg (30 year old), her feet were level with my knees while we were watching a movie in bed.

Then my pal took the lead with a 36Kg night club waitress.

We then saw a lady (mid-20s) who couldn't have weighed more than 34Kg (and the girl I was with said she's available).

 

At that point I conceded the contest to my pal ................

I've got some amazing memories from Barretto.

Good food, cheap booze, great bars and clubs, amazing beaches, good friendships.

Actually this  is  another Covid  stupidity rule, I mean once that mask is down whether for eating or  not you can spread it, they should  stop all eating/drinking in public especially now Delta  can be spread   in seconds, no way are they going to stop  Delta anywhere.

Probably should stop breathing and procreating too.... 555555

France has announced that French citizens living in Thailand WILL get a vaccination shot via their embassy. Why is it that they can do so and the other Western countries, particularly those that tax their citizens who live overseas, continue to do nothing. Take take take and no help for us!

Not only promised.. Not only the Fr Nationals living in Th. Any person of Fr. Nationality, present in Th., residing or not, is entitled to free vaccination. Started on 30/06/2021 in all Local Bangkok Hospitals.
