British Retirees Escape Thai Jail After Violent Land Dispute
What to do now replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You move to Thailand , have a dispute with neighbors, get your butt whooped, get fined, almost face jail time, lose your residence. But on the bright side after going nearly broke you can take your butt back home. Alls well that ends well. 😂 Seriously... avoid confrontation with Thai people ...the chances of you coming out on top are slim ...very slim. -
Oh yes, the mighty "crackdown". Almost a whole day went by without seeing this catchphrase. I can sleep easier now.
-
The real issue is the freelancers working without a work permit. But honestly I don't think anything will be done about it. The "crackdown " in Pattaya only lasted for a few days , and they returned to Beach road shortly after. If they truly cared they would police the areas every night.

Betcha the overstay was the main concern.

Thailand Urged to Enhance Tourist Screening Amid Visa-Free Boom
What to do now replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Here's a novel thought.. how about actually punishing bad behavior instead of just taking a bribe. -
Many of the Thai Temples I have visited have posted THE BUDDHA IS NOT FOR TATTOO OR DECORATION. To each their own I guess. But for me personally I would not get a tattoo of Buddha out of respect for the culture.

Russian Tourist's Pattaya Adventure Sours with Luggage Theft
What to do now replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
At this point I have little sympathy unless your robbed at gun point. Anyone who takes just a few seconds to read about the do's and do not's of Thailand should know the basics . Don't carry large amounts, don't be flashy with jewelry, don't brag about your money, keep your money on your mind, and your mind on your money. 🤔 💰 -
Future Uncertain for Retiree Bank Accounts in Thailand
What to do now replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A lot to do about nothing. Like almost everything else in Thailand " Government proposes" , in the end it will have poor emplimentation & lack of effort. They literally tell you to just do border runs in this article if you're opening a bank account for stay. Was there supposed to be a "crackdown" on multiple border runs to eliminate this? 😂 -
Not a surprise. Asia has this all over. In Japan there are many "Japanese only" restraunts. I think the root of the problem is how trouble making tourist are dealt with. Far to often it's a fine, followed with photo op of opportunity, and public apology. They really need to enforce visa bans on trouble makers. Or jail time to send a message.

Can Foreign Tourists in Pattaya Expect Fair Legal Treatment?
What to do now replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I've never had any problems while in Thailand, It seems most issues arise from overdrinking or someone bringing their entitled attitude over. And after being in Thailand traffic I wouldn't dare to ride a motorbike without a helmet. Lol. -
Absolutely. If the bar tries to convince you it's not necessary. I leave. I buy a drink I pay. If I buy a lady a drink. I pay. Never had an issue with end of night bill.
-
I have traveled to Thailand many times. Never had any issues with anyone. It's really easy to stay out of trouble. Speak and treat others respectfully, don't over drink, take a motorbike or taxi if it's late. And very importantly watch your bar tab.
-
They could have saved themselves a lot of trouble and just held up a sign that said " We're gullible, take our money."
-
The mayor also said he can not move resources to keep the beach clear , because he is still concentrating on the " crack down " on foreign free lance ladies in beach road.* Ok, he didn't say that...but It sounds like the basic rhetoric . Remember folks ,Pattaya is a family friendly destination after all. SMH.
