  1. No other option? My condo building BB has always has sale/rent posters you can contact owner directly. I bought mine from a friend of a friend. No realtors or lawyers just a meeting at the land office. Very nice lady, perfectly fair transaction and she made herself ”available” at all times but that is another story 😀 The time I have been shocked by realtors is looking in Hawaii where they show dirty rental properties. Complete with abandoned furniture, trash, even saw mushrooms growing out of the carpet. The attitude ”If you like want itwe clean then, and also fix anything necessary in cooperation with the owner”. Completely unheard of behavior anywhere else in US.
  2. MLB recruits from all over https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Major_League_Baseball_players_from_the_United_Kingdom
  3. I thought you Englanders dominated soccer?
  4. A concentration camp or ghetto like Lodz or Warsaw 1939 Prisons are occupied by convicted criminals exclusively, no innocent refugees or children. In Israel’s jails prisoners are provided food/water, not arbitraliy slaughtered.
  5. Never happening officially in our Puritan Utopia of the North. Not that there are not already places to party after midnight, some under the close watch and sponsorship of Chiang Mai’s finest public servants even.
  6. ”The Ginza"?🤣 What are you like 80 yrs old ? It is just called Ginza. That is a ham-handed Americanism that went out with the 23 Skidoo. Same ”Fujiyama” ”Bullet Train” and Karioki. No such thing exists.
  7. I’d reckon once a name is put on a no fly list there is no end date regardless when ban ends it is up to some entity to take it off. Problem in the US, where many people have problems simply because of similar names. They have a redress number system to prevent false arrests. And what if your name is Mohammed Omar or something? The warlord or the noted musician who received a Fullbright grant to teach at the University of Washington. You are never getting off the list. https://trip.dhs.gov/s/faq-page?language=en_US#:~:text=Redress Control Number - A Redress,reservations with an air carrier.
  8. Sounds like BDS. Biden derangement system. GOP psychos the congress are still trying to find somehing besides hot air in their ”mountain of evidence” and Donnie could not find Thighland on a map.
  9. Louis Vuitton ”And where are you going to carry it while wearing your t-shirts and worn out jeans with holes ?” Very frugal lady I would buy her clothes and she would bring them back for refunds, saved money always. She just wanted it to keep on a shelf to worship. Probably should have stayed with..
  10. Do the proceeds of this ”investment” make it to the general fund of Government or are moneys simply moved around by IO’s minus the percentage of the take kicked up the pyramid?
  11. ”not necessarily cheap.” Who are you supposed to pay in Thai to get off a list you should not be on after ban is over?
  12. Combining a tired Internet trope, a strawman argument. and a conspiracy theory. Brilliant.
  13. Well it was a long time ago the lady told ”around $75 thousand dollars”, I am adjusting the exchange rate. So I said to her I said ”how many Americans have $75k USD in the bank?” And they come here visa free then work illegallly commit crimes and even begpack in the street no wonder Thai people are upset by this unfairness There is nothing wrong with a metal detector and searching visitor belongings but the idea of having to put your electronics in a locker for safe keeping is a joke. Without a full strip search anybody could have a body camera in their eyeglasses, a button, or almost anywhere else
  14. Exactly. Ask the same cohort how many hold a passport? How many believe a Bible is 100 percent accurate and true word of ”God” How may believe tax cuts for the rich create jobs , the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, and owning a gun makes them ” free”?
  15. If you get banned for one to three years does Thailand put you on an APIS ”no fly”list with the airlines? Once the overstayers ban period is over is it near impossible to get off the no fly list ?
  16. Visa fees are realized as “income” by who?
  17. Yes wealthy or rich parents parents for these kids who go on study programmes. Consular services are in theory entirely user funded so the $250 is a ”donation” to US Department of State and likely a waste of money。Once I can finagle an appointment and get past the security theatre my experice with US consular staff has been wonderful but they have their orders. I have been told informally by someone who worked in Chiang Mai consul for a tourist visa the amount a Thai needs banked or their parents if they are a student is 2.8 million baht along with compelling reason to return.
  18. Uncle Xi should not be happy about visa free ROC entries In the coming days this decision may revert to a ”misunderstanding”
  19. Not sure what they require now but I was a member of Thailand Elite for 5 years. I was not required to provide a police record during the application process To get the O/A visa in USA I have to provide an FBI criminal record check at own expense. Dont forget the ludicrous and redundant health insurance that proves nothing. What does it matter if any foreign crim can come to Thailand as a tourist bank 400k and marry some ”lady” then stay indefinitely? Or at least until the ineveitable occurs when they re-offend IF they even get nabbed here for their dirty deeds.
  20. Nice deflection. Remove them to where ? Thais can’t be deported from their own country.
  21. To help avoid future problems try checking the home country criminal record before you allow entry to the Kingdom of convicted foreign crims in the first place.
  22. One story. Thai lady/ Korean husband wants to take her to Hawaii for trip , full time job in quality control in medical device manufacture and legul residence in Korea. Took three tries for US tourist visa after some years she arrives in HNL before admission is separated from her husband in secondary inspection to be threatened and grilled by ICE officers. She is attractive and a bit of an age difference do they really think she will abandon everything to run off and work in a massage parlour or karaoke? Yep.
