Only problem with adding your friends address is they are then supposed to complete a tm 30 notification that a foreigner is residing at the address as well

Stop moaning worse places to be stuck, daughter is airhostess stranded in Kuwait even if she could find a way out of the country, you need an exit stamp for employees to be able to leave the country which Kuwaiti airlines are refusing to do because they don't want to be left without staffing if suddenly open up again

Sounds like they are selling crap that nobody will actually buy so an entrance fee creates an illusion that there are hidden gems inside, when in reality it's garbage but shops till makes a profit from selling nothing, or are chinese more prone to shoplifting or breaking items and refusing to pay... very strange practice now they have this headache to contend with

Ok it's not great situation to be in but the UK government has never made a secret that pensions in certain countries will be frozen when you reside there. I knew this 16 years ago when I retired at 40, I calculated this against the benefits of retirement in thailand and decided was worth the potential loss I'm ex military and thing that is most annoying is our government can send us to any crap hole they desire to and we are still expected to pay the national insurance but we can't expect the payouts while living abroad in retirement

Keep him away from anything to do with pharmaceuticals after the huge cluster he made from the cannabis laws

Drug dealing has a possible death sentence, why was even given bail? If he was caught bang to rights don't have to be a rocket scientist to guess he wasn't going to show up at court Few missing brain cell on both sides, him for getting bail and remaining in thailand Courts for giving a foreigner bail for drug supply

What is this "image" they keep referring to, sex made pattaya what it is today, hardly a world class beach with crystal clear waters. Few sex toys don't give it a bad image the tens of thousands of prostitutes sort of do that

Then with the same breath he will say the thai police is not a mafia organisation and the public should trust them

Drinking and playing casino after every thai funeral I've ever attended, monks regularly getting caught having relationships, monks being found drunk or high on meth. Festivals being held on temple grounds with female dancers wearing just as many clothes as these girls. How are visitors supposed to be fully aware of the etiquette if the whole Buddhist clergy are clueless of what's happening at temples all around thailand

ACTING prime minister if you please

Stupid act of disrespect but, thai netizens should concentrate on the bigger picture, 241 people have been killed in traffic accidents over the new year period, nearly 3000 cases of drink driving (those are the ones arrested actual figures of those who got lucky must be huge)

He was dragged for 200m , the breaking distance for 80kmph is 69m, the breaking distance for 177kmph is around 160m As soon as he hit him and carried on driving then became murder

How did pattaya immigration cope with processing 2600 passengers? By the time they cleared immigration it would be time to turn around and board the ship again,

Time to start a random drug and alcohol tests as this isn'tan isolated incident, used to see police at certain out of the way restaurants in the area drinking heavily in uniform carrying a sidearm just take their shirt off and have white tshirt underneath. Not sure how this druggie managed to survive this incident pull a gun on a fe.low officer and actually pull the trigger most armed police countries would have emptied a magazine into him

They add these holidays but normal business don't add them and operate as normal, the only people who truly benefit are government employee's who already only work a 5 day week, children are given time off but then parents struggle finding alternative child care

Police chief got his work cut out trying to convince the public that his police force isn't just another mafia operating in thailand

Sad day when big joke was ousted from rtp, he had a good guy in bad guys out policy which for some reason offended many foreigners, I liked that his policy also applied to immigration officers, they were all on their best behaviour when he was in charge. You knew exactly what was needed and each immigration office was plasterered in signs detailing how long each specific visa was to take, the bit I liked was the complaint shotline they used to have,,, funny as soon as he left the immigration division all those signs were quickly binned and we went back to looking for issues which can't be fixed unless you use an agent, which they just happen to have on speed dial

All airlines should be able to recruit the best pilots possible no matter their nationality, who wants an inferior pilot taking to the skies with 300 passengers when he perhaps only got the job because he is thai and no one else is allowed.... barber is a protected thai job but what's the worst that can happen... a bad haircut which will grow out in a few weeks, poor pilot could crash killing all passengers and destroying anything it hits on the ground Not saying thai pilots are inferior but you can't get the best pilots with such a limited recruitment pool

Every other day some foreigners being arrested for drug smuggling or dealing, few live tv executions to return the fear back to these crimes. People used to fear Thailands strict punishment but it's gotten weak and people don't care anymore

Bangkok is a big city with relatively good rail and road connections, bangkok in certain area will definitely break the bank but there are cheap rentals if willing to get off sukhumvhit and go more native, good wage for white collar worker is 25,000 a month and they survive renting and have money for groceries and other necessities. That wouldn't even cover rent in the roughest council estate in London

My feet itch if I walk through a puddle in rain season and can't wash the dirty water immediately, god knows what playing in the water will do, open sores, water in anus or urethra holes, getting in ears nose throat and eyes will likely create all sorts of problems

Another one who will divide the country further, thaksin keeps trying to stay relevant when the elites don't want him in politics and will always find a way to get him out of power, him his sister and daughter should be a lesson to learn from but he keeps trying. Abhisit has too much bad blood after his crackdown on the central protesters

Police shouldn't facilitate an apology only reason is he has been told that the courts when sentencing will take into account remorse and any apology given irrespective of it was heartfelt or just to get further leniency from the court. Police should investigate and prosecute if necessary that is all

How much has this on off tourist tax actually cost the government? Wasted hours debating at least 20 times since I've been living here and no closer to it being implemented

Good job I dropped my daughter off at the airport a few days ago, the rush at the airport of visitors arriving to see a minor beauty pageant in pattaya will cause huge travel delays
