  1. I just noticed this in the extract I found. Aren't these people called "women"? ????
  2. I have been using the 6 month METV to enter Thailand for the past 7-8 years and traveled to Thailand for perhaps 5-6 months each year. Just before covid I was pulled aside by the immigration officer at Don Muaeng Airport when returning from Cambodia. He told me that was using too many METVs and that I should use a more appropriate long term visa if I wanted to be in Thailand for more than a few short periods. It seems that even the METV won't save you from all the immigration officers.
  3. I just looked up on Google and one of the results was the "Yoni Massage". "Yoni massage is a sexual tantra practice that involves massaging the vagina, which is called yoni in Sanskrit and loosely translates to "a sacred space." Yoni massage allows you time to slowly explore your body in a more sensual way. It can help people who usually feel finished after one orgasm to achieve multiple orgasms, and it's especially beneficial for people with vaginas who have never had an orgasm. It can also be very healing for those who have suffered sexual trauma in their past because the approach and technique is all about giving — making the vagina owner feel loved, cherished, worshiped, and honored." So there you have it. It might be a legitimate massage technique after all. Although I suspect that the masseur providing this service should really be a female unless the customer requested otherwise. And the customer MOST CERTAINLY has to provide informed consent before the massage. Perhaps this is where the misunderstanding came from. That particular shop offers a "yoni" massage, and the masseuse explained in broken English/Japanese and thought he had consent, but the Japanese woman did not understand what she was in for. Men can also have a "testicle massage" which is offered in some Thai massage parlors and is not a sexual service. I had one once and hated it. Very painful.
  4. You never know. How much does Saul Goodman charge these days? "Better call Saul"
  5. If it was my phone I would be asking to shop owner to hold it for me while I rush to the shop. I would be paying the 2000 baht and consider myself lucky to have my phone back. It is not just the physical phone that is important to me but also the contents, all my photos, contacts, apps, etc. I do have a lot of stuff on my phone backed up elsewhere but it would till be a major time-consuming hassle to buy a new phone and try to remember all the installed apps and content. 2000 baht to save a lot of time and effort, as well as the cost of a new phone is most certainly worth it for me.
  6. Why was she carrying a kitchen knife in a public place?
  7. Probably did not have enough money to buy the brand name handbag she wanted.

  9. Thank you for the uncensored photos. 555
  10. I buy the Voltaren SR100 (Slow Release 100mg) tablets over the counter without a prescription at my local Thai pharmacy. I only take a tablet when my foot swells up painfully on occasion. These tablets work quite well. The pharmacist always warns me about taking them for extended periods so I try to avoid taking them and use Paracetamol instead if the pain is low level. The SR100 tablets usually cost around 29 baht each or about 870 baht for 3 strips of 10 tablets each. Back in Australia I can only get the 12.5mg and 25mg tablets over the counter and the 50mg ones only with a prescription. The 100mg ones are not even available in Australia as far as I can tell.
  11. The Daily Mail has an "interesting" twist to this story if people feel like criticizing the accuracy of journalism. "Boyfriend SAWED Ukrainian model to death at luxury Bangkok apartment and then used Google Translate to help get rid of body" "Lagoda-Filippow flagged down a taxi, whose driver Surachai Sabaibang later called the hotel to inform them of the Pole's erratic behaviour after his passenger allegedly used the Google Translate app to ask for help cutting up a body." Who can we possibly believe?
  12. But a backpackers guest house won't have marble fountains.
  13. 2 and 11 seem relevant. What is considered a petty crime? 2 years probation perhaps? But 11 might present more of a problem seeing that his offense involved money scams. Don't forget that money is god in Thailand.
  14. They managed to operate for 3 days. How wonderful for them.
  15. Condo. 2 people. Minimal AC use. Went from around 1500 to 2900 this month. So yes, doubled. Expensive to start with and now more so.
  16. So that's not you in your profile photo?
  17. A friend of mine tried Thai Cupid for a while and said it did not have the "quality" of Thai Friendly, which he now uses fairly exclusively. Although he did mention that he was also using the RSVP dating site again. I asked him, "WHY???" ????
  18. I wonder how many of the public were actually offended.
  19. Here is another example of many why I would NEVER consider living long term in Thailand.
  20. I cannot understand the need for this. OK if you are presenting them with a photocopy of your passport then it needs to be certified. But if you take your current, real, actual, physical, official, real_as_it_can_get, enough_to_get_into_the_country passport, then why can't they just take a photocopy there in the office and know the copy is legit? Perhaps even take an extra 4.5 seconds and decorate it with the office rubber stamp. Stamping paper is easy. Just ask any passport control officer. It seems that bureaucracy everywhere, not just in Thailand, is adding layer upon layer of expensive paperwork for no reason other than to make work for someone and make our lives a pain in the @$$.
  21. So Italy has joined these wonderful freedom loving nations? Seems that a VPN is a necessity in Italy.
