Captain Monday

More than 20 years ago I vowed to NEVER disgrace Pukhet again with my presence based on the transport mafia, and what I experienced as wthinly veiled hostility from tourism industry workers compared to any other area of Thailand. Well I went back on a non stop flight from Qatar right when the sandbox opened. When it was more than slow to relax 14 nights in a near brand new Patong hotel. My opinion has matured> A big island with a lot to offer. Traffic? I think it would be completely different living there in a quiet area retired with your own car, compared to visiting.

I like cute Chinese I’m seeing in CM now. Feminine, frilly sun dress and hat , and hairy armpits. Is that a thing in China? Gives me some hope they are not doing that stupid waxing thing down there. Only see visible armpits in US on dirty hippies and burnouts also with hairy legs I don like.

The pencils are in your imagination. Very dangerous while riding their signature bicycles could pierce ones chest causing grievous injury

I addressed that in my second sentence. Have you ever noticed however Bob, that various jurisdictions and regions have laws and legal precedents that are almost the same? We are not on an alien planet here. But please keep exposing yourself callers. As you admit TIT, where really the law is whatever the police say it is. After you are eventually collected maybe everybody will just find it preferable to put you on a plane and send you away for good. You might prefer that too. To languishing in jail indefinitely looking for a lawyer to mount a defense under Thai law for answering your door stark naked.

Because when you open the door you expose yourself to the public. I don't know about Thailand really. In the US you can be naked in your own home or garden of there if you could not be reasonably seen from a public place outside. *Curtains, fences, hedges. For answering a door naked however, various states prosecutor could suggest Incedent exposure - Do you have a ”lewd intent”? Was you behavior likely to cause offense? A civil claim could be brought for sexual harrament. ie Clinton supposedly exposing himself to a woman in a hotel suite. Is there a school bus stop outside your home?If it is a child involved some states like Texas could demand a custodial ”life entence ” of prison. A few years ago a man in US was making a long phone call while free balling in front of the tinted windows of a Westin DEN airport hotel. Based only on outrageous claims of passersbys at the terminal police barged in and arrested him. Eventually he got large settlement as the Police violated various procedures, and his rights. The man had no idea he could be seen from outside. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pilot-arrested-being-naked-his-hotel-room-window-paid-300-n1080756

What "much bigger" paperwork is that other than writing 9 digits and another signature ? Just rubbish from the barstool in my xperience.

I remember cookies. Long time ago, maybe Continental. The girls twisted my arm. I could not resist to eat two or three. My longest flight TG flight ever. It took 17:30 . Max range on A340-500 was great but low mach number. My worst flight to Thailand anything involving Manila. Not that KuwaitAairways or Phillipines was that bad but it is not a nice airport to be stuck in for hours. Poor lounges, bad food.

My go to guy says Mitsu or Daikin.

To be competitive regionally they would have to partner with and bring in the foreign gaming companies. Those have corporate boards, real accounting, background checks. Thailand already has Casinos as you can see. Why rock the boat?

All of that aside the filth and destruction is too much. Why don’t they go feed pigeons back in their home country? Legal prohibition and heavy fines?

In US there is as I understand misdemeanor amd felony DUI based on state laws, number of dui offenses and if you hurt somebody up to the point of vehicular manslaughter. Do you consider that a criminal offense ? Since we are talking about Canada here do you know Americans cannot even enter Canada with history of drunk driving without a waiver?

And I’m not saying what offenders should be allowed in or not, but maybe with restrictions. Like say a bloke has 3 convictions for drunk driving in the US but is otherwise an OK guy. Maybe he could be allowed with no chance to get a drivers license or rent a car.

That’s true and just look at the news one of greatest criminals in my country’s history has until recently never been convicted of criminal felonies. Violence, trafficking, frauds, social offenses and larceny. Just a cursory review of most criminals records however would be enough to identify those most likely to re-offend once they enter Thailand.

KE USA - ICN - CNX

Is there anyplace cold with mountains and real winters an American can retire to and take up skiing?

Why are such crims allowed into the Kingdom in the first place? Visa free travel should be banned and home country criminal checks instituted.

Tetley PG? I can believe that I often bring a bag of Coffee. Starbucks French roast or Peets Major Dickasons, from a supermarket Better than any of the tasteless and pricey coffee grown here.

Hiding? Visa free entry or visa/extension of stay without home country criminal check. Corruption, working illegally, incompetent Police. A paradise for foreign crims who cant change their ways. No surprise they re-offend here.

In Chiang Mai is this then not needed for the first extension of stay?

Full of Branston pickle, mediocre cheese, HP sauce and tasteless biscuits of which they can’t seem to live without

Some banks, eh? What banks are those?

How do you get to an airport when the roads are blocked by Soldiers or armed angry gangs of …..shirts？　Better go north and bribe some hill villagers to guide you out via one of those so-called “natural borders”. I’d rather be arrested for illegal entry to Laos than be summarily eliminated.

So the DLT can decline my Yellow book and request a COR from immigration anyway ? The last time I did my renewal in Chiang Mai of 5 year drivers licenses I used an agent, to save time so I don’t know. 🤷‍♂️ Was in and out in 15 minutes.

Long before that he should have been impeached by the Republicans. They had him dead to rights. For harboring and failing to prosecute and the torturers of the Bush crime family in violation of US law and International law. ＊I think you misposted as you are aware the drone strike on al-Alwaki was conducted Yemen. Parte justification for not just sending the FBI to collect him. We are not in new territory regarding the unitary Executives’ apparent imminity from war crime prosecition

If 13 were killed on a “botched” withdrawal who is responsible for 2459 killed and more than 20,000 injured as far as I remember in a pointless war that achieved nothing ?
