No and Iconsiam made a public statement yesterday that they are not in any way connected. -

Did they go after Boss Paul's watch collection? As for the bitcoin assets and other finacials, maybe they should have siezed everything before they published that they were going after assets. -
Phuket taxi driver hits foreign man on airport zebra crossing
Dan O replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Yes police negotiate as they don't want to have to do all the paperwork and then appear in court. It undermines the punishment needed to deter violations. Your court example is seldom if every successful even if you were to win. I don't believe pedestrians have the right if way everywhere, only at marked and designated crosswalks. Having the right of way does little to help if your tragically injured or killed. Collecting on penalties\fines is a whole other can of worms -

I don't know that I believe your story but you go with that. If that is what you do its pretty foolish and you will lose at your game at some point. -

Thats a good way of ending up in the hospital not to mention at the police station where you will lose the discussion, guaranteed -

You do know this is Thailand right ? The police will push for a negotiation and no charges. Even with that getting paid is another issue -

If you're already in the crosswalk or its marked like at airports its the drivers responsibility to stop. However in Thailand all bets are off and no real punishment will fix the lack of mental awareness of the dangers Thai drivers cause without any concept of risk. Not real sure why you keep quoting UK, this is Thailand and its not comparable -

That would be the logical response but given that it's gone on for decades I don't see how you change the lack of critical or spatial thinking in Thai people. They have no ability or desire to forecast what might occur in the future from their actions, only what the want to do at that split second and act on it. Its truly frightening in many instances. -
Banking Headaches in Thailand: FATCA Frustrations and U.S. Ties!
Dan O replied to renegade2000's topic in General Topics
Not sure that asking a question about nationality is such a big deal is it. If you and your gf are not us citizens its a non-issue as the fatca form doesn't come in to play. -
You need to determine where your property boundary is. Usually walls are built or should be built within your property leaving some distance from the exterior if your wall and your boundary line. If that's thats case you can ask the neighbor to remove the soil off your property\wall. If the wall is on the boundary your stuck as the neighbors land ends at your wall. You may need to be very diplomatic about it and involved the village headman with your concerns. Don't expect much cooperation though as thais never think ahead or act proactively to avoid problems.

Only 2 groups of people that seem to worry. First group are the people playing the system with excessive border runs and trying to live in country without a proper visa. They don't mind playing the system until they get caught and want to cry foul. Second group are the newbies that read the complaints of the first group on line and then aren't sure about their trip. There's no need to define tourism as it isn't rocket science. The time allowed is clearly stated in the visa you travel on or in the regs for visa exempt entry or visa on arrival.

It's called doing their job just like in every other country in the world. They are there to use their discretion and assess the person in front if them for risk. I have to laugh at people that make the claims you made or the ever popular "rogue" officer or "irrational female officer". The problem generally lies with the traveller's and their history, not the imm officer.

Top Suspect in 2004 Tak Bai Crackdown May Evade Prosecution
Dan O replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Equally pathetic is that Parliament gave him a hall pass after the fact excusing him and allowing his absence and making an excuse for him to be able to leave the country for "medical treatment" -
First off you spew inaccurate information and claim its fact which is not a personal attack but a comment in what you are claim as real when its not. I'm a Republican or was until the Republicans sold their souls just to try to stay in office by aligning with a fraudulent con man named Trump just because he has a following of mindless sheep. You haven't been in the USA for quite some time, if ever, if you cant seem the bs you seem to have fallen for and the long history of his deceit. You apparently feel its ok for the toxic attacks from Trump toward anyone that doesn't fall for his stick but call foul when someone calls you out on it! Pretty hypocritical of you. Quoting Elon Musk as some sort of relevant and knowledge political person is beyond ridiculous. Hes a rich individual with his own agenda and it has nothing to do with anything other than his opinion. You can believe anything you want to as thats your right but don't expect others to give you any credibility on your position as you gave away that when you post misleading and inaccurate information and try to pass it off as fact. You have a nice day now

You need to check your facts as you have a very distorted view of the truth and the history of what trump f'd up during his term, both inside and outside the country. trump is a POS , always has been and always will be. He plays to every fear available and there are a lot of gullible people that buy it hook line and sinker. You continue to spew the trump toxic narrative using distorted facts and revisionist history. Dont bother replying to me as it's clear you have no credible input on this topic as far as Im concerned.

Thats laughable. The only reason they nominated Biden was because they needed to calm things down from the 3 ring circus called trump. They needed plain vanilla, with no surprise sprinkles. Thats what they did and the results are there to show that's what the country did for the most part. Now if trump would just go away the country would continue to march toward normalcy.

The main reason so many follow him is due to his continuous spewing venomous and toxic attacks on anyone and everyone that does not agree with him. It gives people with similar A type character and lack of moral compass the green light to act in similar fashion. Just look at this forum for his following. No fact checking or credibility of sources. Anyone that agrees with them is fair to use to support their delusion. You cant explain anything to them as they believe their own lies, sheep to the slaughter.

you apparently didnt read the site, they have their own money and if adding in family money the wealth is considerably more. Im happy to provide you another if its easier as there are lots of them. Where did you rank in life compared to them? Dont deflect just because your a man, I clearly said compared with them.
