Bringing human ashes into Thailand
Iron Tongue replied to rocketlad78's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Coroners and hospitals that issue death certificates simply charge a fee for every official copy. My experience was that they cost me US$10 per copy. Just spend the money and have more issued. -
Couple of 'Lightweight' Russians 'slugging' it out in family friendly Phuket.
Iron Tongue replied to roo860's topic in Phuket
Were they really Russians? I heard some English being screamed. I'd be perfectly happy if they were Russians, but I did hear English. Then again, if they were Brits, Americans, or Aussies, they would've already been at it. -
Anutin tells Swiss man Urs Fehr he should go home
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Simple enough. He's a Big Shot in Thailand. Runs an elephant sanctuary. Lives a luxurious life on the beach. He thought he could wriggle-out of this by greasing the right palms. He probably has nothing left in Switzerland except missed alimony payments. -
The baffling 27 years of Richard Burrows, aka. ‘Peter Smith’
Iron Tongue replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
My unsolicited guess is that the real Peter Smith never reported his passport as stolen, and never got a replacement. This helped Richard Burrows became 'Peter Smith' in Thailand and was able to get away with this for so long. As a successful businessman playing by the rules, the Thais wouldn't have scrutinized his renewals after entry. My thoughts are that since he is an offending pedophile, and sex predators have the highest rate of recidivism, what has he been doing during the past 27-years? -
Don't know what they are, but you'd better take them. Unfortunately, they are suppositories!

Two Estonians fined for smoking on Finnair flight into Bangkok
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Air scrubbers on passenger airplanes are designed for high-volume movement of air through its various filters. Air filters do not know what they are filtering so it wouldn't cost more if it was smoke or viruses. -
Phuket hotel evicts foreigner who threatened taxi driver with knives
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I agree. Normally, I tend to ridicule bad behavior, but in her case, I think there's more showing mental illness than cultural bad behavior. -
Sure. But just catching Legionaire's Disease is an indicator that the person is already not healthy. We've all probably been exposed to Legionaire's bacteria, and lots of others germs & viruses (ahem, Covid), but our bodies probably just sloughed them off. You're going have to just believe me on this. My mom was a forensic pathologist who worked on isolating and identifying the Legionaire's bacterium when it first struck in the US.

Legionaire's disease is caused by a naturally-occurring bacteria that gets aerosolized in contaminated air conditioners. It is not contagious and typically infects older people who are susceptible to respiratory infections. Treatment is via antibiotics just like other forms of pneumonia. I don't know why this is a story, other than that hotels and building managers should follow proper maintenance of all equipment. -Unless Thais want to start a panic blaming foreigners.

Myanmar seeks permission to land aircraft in Tak

Why not allow this? Just pick them up in Boeing aircraft. -
Thailand and China join forces for lunar and space research
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I don't know if I'd feel safe aboard a joint China-Thailand space vehicle, but the food aboard should be pretty awesome! -
Not me. From all these recent occurrences, the Thai police have shown remarkable restraint when encountering crazed Farangs. Then, as police, you really want to be better armed than any bad guy, and barricaded suspects are particularly dangerous. Drunk and especially methed-out crazies, have an amazing ability to absorb pistol bullets before their bodies stop working.

Thais received the most scam calls in Asia last year
Iron Tongue replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
??? Did you do the math? I'll wait. The US population is approx. 5x that of Thailand. 395,000,000 isn't close to 50 billion. -

Lazy Thai scammers, how pathetic at only 79 million? The US gets over 50 billion scam calls a year. -
Smokin’ scuffle: Foreigner’s taxi tantrum goes viral in Phuket
Iron Tongue replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Right! So you think it's plausible for someone in the BACK SEAT to crawl over the driver because he wanted to exit the car while in traffic? The taxi driver refused to let go of his car door because he feared being carjacked. -
Big Joke woes: Warrant issued for money laundering
Iron Tongue replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yeah. I thought he applied-for and received permission to leave the country until April. -
Russian couple’s dine and dash attempt exposed in Phuket restaurant
Iron Tongue replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Not unexpected of a people who invade countries and steal the toilets out of homes as gifts to their mothers. -
That isn't much for Western lifestyle, 3-children and wife. Will you be able to save anything because if anything happens to you, what options does wife & kids have? And what will you do after your 5-year contract runs out?

It is easier for smaller women to look and remain thin, which is greatly valued in the entertainment industry. As the saying goes, "The camera adds 15-lbs". Of course, tall and thin is better, which is why so many models make the transition to acting. 5'10" and dress size 0 is the ideal on runways and in Hollywood. Of course, for porn, all the men are short. Obviously, the shorter the man, the bigger his schwantz looks!
