If she has double passports she can simply buy with the foreign passport under foreign quota, logical. I don't believe this with not being able to buy as a Thai from a condo with foreigner quota too, my friends here sold their condo's plenty of times to a Thai, while they had the foreigner quota. I could believe you might 'lose the foreigner quota' once buying it as a Thai, but it should not be impossible to buy the unit itself in general.

You are missing something if you didn't understand this before Thaksin already hehe. Thais are all the same, if you would tell you stole 20 people their retirement funds and destroyed their entire family, a few years back in the west, but you now changed and went to a temple for 2 weeks, they will love you, and you being rich. Some would deny to like this or be the same, upon asking them, until it actually happens in their real life + they also benefit from it. This is the real Thai culture: you simply don't mention it and take the money. Don't think too much, sabzi sabzi.

I thought they just returned and had fallen sick due to covid / pollution, the pollution is like just as bad now as the last time he was here too. Populism at its best.

Deadly accidents like this happen all the time on Phangan too, it rarely makes the news. I can see it by seeing the posts of some monks on their social media pages only. I think at least a few per month. Sometimes they are murder, sometimes they are not, sometimes nobody knows. What often seems the case, similar to any other islands, if there are some young naive western girls who are way too drunk, dressed up sexy, and start chatting with a few local guys, these local guys will absolutely hate any western backpacker, who now eyes that girl too.

How does that make a super B gym important, training can be done in the <deleted>tiest gyms

Sounds freaky as hell

For some reason there is rarely follow ups here in Thailand, which is strange as it generates boat loads of readers and that is how they make money.

No it's called luck, and it is when a guy starts to say ''must be something about me'' when they are about to attack lol.

The latest nuclear bunker Iran has build apparently takes like dozens of warplanes with the most heavy bombs, full loads, to then maybe reach the depth of the bunker. Israel is not capable of doing that, they would need USA for that. Smart politics though, give Iran some billions knowing they will use it outside the agreement, then trigger a war that makes trillions for the industry.

Sounds like a good timing, then the USA can pretend that it is not a good time to do elections.

Russians made a huge sacrifice to make Europe free again, but then the allied forces pretended all the honor was to them, the Russians weren't even invited on the party after. Is funny how they barely write about it in history too, at least I got told little/zero about the Russian contribution as a European kid in school.

Since when are specific businesses usually reserved for Thais only. It's like they now make up the rules as they go, that the jobs are for Thais only has nothing to do with the legal ability of a foreigner to be a shareholder in that company. As far I know, as long a Thai would agree with you as a partnership/deal, even they consider that now a nominee, is perfectly legal too, as long taxes etc are being paid. So not sure what they are even talking about at this point. Illegal activities are a different thing but that has nothing to do with a foreigner in general, working with a Thai (only way), owning a business here. Or are they secretly telling us that now business is less good, they want to make it illegal for us foreigners, even if working with Thais, or being married, to not do any hospitality/tourism business too.

Learned the hard way and that is that I can't do it worse than 99% of them, even better. So I just taught myself online how do all of it, tools are cheap to buy here anyway. Funny thing is, until I did, I didn't get why I or others always want a 'handyman' while what needs to happen in reality is very easy to do. Maybe our brains just go auto-pilot and always think to find someone doing it, same with AC, it was not cooling anymore. Cleaned it myself in like 30 minutes for 2 units, runs like brand new again, and the local guy, after calling 10 of them, wanted like 1000-1500 baht for this job. Must say I am now jealous to not be Thai, one could make boatloads of money by just offering these services properly / nationwide / easy website or booking system etc. Even doing this properly in whatever town, I am sure it is not hard to bring home around 50K a month.

Is very rare to come by, you would almost need to start digging on eBay or amazon abroad to find the actual body of a laptop. Isn't exactly a common replacement part, you could still turn it into like a normal PC too though, using something else or some creativity so certainly worth keeping.

Pause it, why not just terminate it permanently, it is nonsense in the first place and by air you don't get it too.

Likely but I think the guy had a heatstroke actually, as the story originates that he suddenly was a Debbie downer and then decided to swim. Likely the booze boosted his ego to show off how good he is to swim the entire reservoir and that killed him.

They are clearly kind of the worst if it comes to technical stuff, I mean just think back a while when the site was down for days, to do a simple migration lol, that should be with no downtime at all, max 5-10 minutes, for a DNS change with TTL on 5 minutes.

Yeah I suspected he was doing a Thaksin on this already, that is the only logical conclusion, if that likely means you will be set free. Otherwise I would accept to die here yes, certainly at the age of 80, and knowing I would be on the run since '97s and did horrible things.

One wonders why he decided to fly back, as I'm pretty sure he would be aware of his arrest to happen most likely. Ran out of money I guess + too old to work? Even then, you would think one would commit suicide here instead of going to jail the rest of life. As he left in like late 90's I am not surprised at all that he managed to leave, or use another ones passport. This is even before 9/11, there was barely any checks on anything, nobody used fingerprints yet etc etc. To be honest, if you look like someone a lot, they never been to Thailand before, I think there is a high chance it still works today too.

Like a UNESCO status changes anything, will they also apply for the award to be the most reckless country in the world, with water, during drought? Managed to escape yesterday driving all the small roads, it pays off to know them now lol, then someone still threw a bucket in my face, ok fine, it was hot anyway, but I could instantly smell this water is like super dirty. Lucky I didn't get any eye infections.

Never met a decent Thai who enjoys this insanity and alcohol / death road tour holiday. sure they enjoy a casual fight at home, otherwise traditionally which feels meaningful, to then simply enjoy amazing food and cold beers. what can be fun about being a egressive <deleted> trying to make bikers crash, and similar, aside from 16 year old behavior… All i wanted was to do the traditional thing to the elders and business bosses, to then have 6-10 dishes on a table, shared with many people, and some beers with ice in it, and smiling thais. the waterfight is more for the dog intelligence, i guess the majority of people, sadly, brainless. and for the record: im the guy who enjoys getting <deleted> faced, do drugs, techno parties, girls and more. And i hate it lol. The worst of all, is not songkran specific, is that they somehow teach and let young girls dance as whores, and then dare to call it culture. Its all over facebook, its just no words. how is a debate even possible; its simple, you must be disgusted by it or something is morally wrong.

Songkran so far chiang mai is a total farce, <deleted>ty thai rappers and similar artists to make the locals happy in maya mall. Then the yearly scammers, selling water guns etc for 5-10-20X the price along the entire old city, while Thais driving by since days look annoyed when sprayed with water while working. to then see a few foreigners left and right, even mainly asians / chinese, to then see an absolute dark hole and nothing of life by the time it was even 8:30PM today. To conclude: they ruined songkran, they ruined thailand and chiang mai is death (since many years but with this being second year since covid; officially) Sell your <deleted>e and move elsewhere, that is the motto now. I mean its like low season worst month, while its songkran here, in terms of visible farangs. but yeah a lot of frustrated idiots who think its fun to throw dirty water in ones face at 7-9pm, not understanding (including owners), that this makes me go home early and drink less. It made me think more and more how stupid this event is aside from one day: its just frustrated idiots and the like, behaivng like teenagers. A good reflection of the country and skills.

They are more focused on catching overstayers or something, it is the same with domestic flights, was a month or so ago in the news, that they want to enforce that now too. The same actually happened recently in Vietnam, they also require passports again for domestic flights while a driving license as possible before too (for foreigners). I am pretty sure however that most hotels would still let you check-in, if you can show them a digital or printed copy, aside from a Thai driving license, that matches the exact same name / photo etc. I never had issues to check-in without, when drunk, and showing them my phone copy / send via LINE.

How does that even relate, going abroad obviously does not create new TM30's, as it is not the same as when one travels domestic. I can confirm that CM is rogue in this way, and they often want a fresh new TM30 again, if you also came there to extend. If I would fly abroad and come back, you are right, usually they are fine with the old one. The last time they wanted me to a new TM30 as well because I submitted myself without any end date, as it is our house. Then they wanted to see one with an end date (makes zero sense but whatever).

People on this forum don't believe us clearly, they seem to not be aware of the exceptions and possibilities down south. I heard the exact same figure, I even posted that figure yesterday here too. I've seen plenty of hippies and Russians/Ukranians fix their overstay that way on islands too.
