  1. We not deal with VFS at all, i do not get your reply at all, zero relevance to my comment. What i stated was very clear; many embassies do not renew when your status here is not legal, so that could require you to first need to give up to authorities, in order to have the paperwork satisfying them to get you a new emergency passport. That could also mean detention in the meanwhile. To overstay is not a big thing at all, to actually let ones passport expire and ignore it, is very unwise, let alone if your doing both...
  2. Disagree, my embassy (european) does not do passport renewals if you are not on a valid visa in the country. That would be a special case aka emergency passport and I actually would wonder if they do it without any hassles too.
  3. Look now at what? Zero has changes and there are no problems at all. Those of alcohol are still standing. This comment makes your casino post even more silly lol, you are clearly entirely unaware of the casino goals and project, they want to attract mainly foreigners, it will be near UTP airport. Guess you are that far in the dark of reality, that you are also not aware that most gambling Thais are in debt due to the government lottery. A new casino is the last to worry about, same with weed, then one should worry about lao Lao and yaba.
  4. Non-issue, they already made clear since ages that these casino's will only be at a specific places. Besides that, most Thais gamble online anyway.
  5. It's funny how few people seem to know about the huge investment project near UTP airport, where the casino obviously will come, I knew since early covid about.
  6. That's just weird, in Europe any girl from 16/17/18 would be dating and doing whatever she wants, with guys who are in their twenties, up to 28-29. Isn't this guy double F'ed too, I heard that an American is also accountable back home if doing this abroad.
  7. Seems they are doing it for the sake of bangkok wanting results, same as phangan, they could have cleared 100 plus real violators there in a day. could dedicate an entire ferry for it lol. Its just pathetic now, specially if having lived here before or since the coup in 2014 and then seeing today. Its sad.
  8. He is actually quite optimistic as well as realistic, the issue is more with guys like yourself, sticking their head in the sand. however always amusing for me, freebie bored girlfriends and wives of those guys who stick their head in the sand as well… at least you can be proud on one thing; you are thai enough to only think black and white. Scared of color.
  9. I have friends that are fluent in thai, written and spoken, and still are hassled by on purpose, specially if it is people who want to be special (stewardesses, officials, hotel manager girls etc), as they somehow wanna show off their english (which is super basic and <deleted> compared to their fluent bangkok thai). Same on the lower ends, like myself speaking “basic thai”, as soon they hear that or even a dating profile is 1 year existing, they dislike or hate you. its a country of superficial nonsense, pre judgements and xenophobia, sad but true.
  10. Wouldnt miss gamma but like bob, seems he is smoking too much weed tho
  11. Ha i dont think so, they charge 3-5-10k easily, thais are cheaper. but then again, you get a real woman too
  12. They are expensive else ive been in the market before. In my early days i once wondered into a russian bar naively, the girl actually warned me and told me to leave asap or it cost me a lot just for drinks, walking street pattaya hehe.
  13. Apply ngo jobs and continue be a sucker lol (im not a fan). In terms of getting married and her having xyz job, wouldnt it be the school to ask, instead of random people who are unaware of xyz details? The questions kind of confirm why i dislike ngo and gov workers lol. In case is is next: no i dont know quiz nights or vegan places.
  14. Anywhere where there is constant tourist streams of people it is you having to prove your different and then you meet an entirely different person than that person is as a daily worker dealing with tourists. But i get where you come from with this, when living elsewhere in Thailand already and then visiting for a short holiday, the behavior in the south can come across as very aggressive and negative, anti-foreigner almost. To fix or address that is the same answer though, you have to show and proof you been around, are not a complete idiot en behave well. It sucks if being on a short holiday as of never getting that chance in that case, so again, i get where the topic comes from, feeling wise. In Vietnam this is even more of a thing.
  15. He is right a bit maybe but for the very end 'we do not do that to you', the Thais do all kinds of stuff in other countries in terms of business, corruption and bribes. It's always these Thais who then do like foreigners, because they likely studied abroad or whatever, who speak like if Thailand is some fairytale. To say Thais can do bribes and corruption, but you as a foreigner should not, is obviously stupid to say as well. You can't live a easy life in a country where corruption thrives, without joining the corruption sometimes, specially if you live in certain areas or you would do business in perhaps hospitality and tourism. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If he wants foreigners to not do it, start with addressing the locals their actions and behavior instead of the 0.0001% incidents caused by foreigners here.
  16. Liquid cooling is the best, I even do it myself right now by sitting in the waterfall while working.
  17. The only thing you forget to mention is that the use against terrorists is the least of concerns, they will use it on every day people, and your freedom will be gone forever.
  18. It just depends on the guy or girl, and their mood, that day. I have seen a dozen russians with obvious repeated history apply in front of me there, while then seeing a couple others including 2 friends being refused, who were behind me. As if there is a invisible maximum for the day where they just start creating issues (and we were even the first 40 people). If you go there for a tourist visa, while you do not have border runs left for the year, you essentially just play with fire, as of the very long / expensive trip to get out of there to any bigger city or another country. There is no reason in your case in the first place to have to avoid Vientiene.
  19. Aren't those birds who stick their head in the sand also from Australia?
  20. Both of these can be purchased in electric version nowadays too, no sound at all. Maybe the screaming will be the noise after breaking a leg crashing.
  21. I can testify to that with 2 different european friends, who never went there before and only had 1 TR visa in recent year, but still were both refused there. Sucked a lot for them as they already did 2 landborders as well, and then it is a big hassle to get to Vientiene + elsewhere. For non-o no issues.
  22. In Vietnam you can just bribe them a few dollars cash and you even get a front row seat lol. Out of my mind it is around 900 baht for 1x 20KG checked luggage aside from the 7KG carry-on luggage so 36 dollars sounds possible potentially.
  23. Most people fly nowadays, its a waste and frustration to sit all day in a minivan being useless. Also cost me same to pre-book a round way ticket out + 1-2 nights hotel.
  24. For once? They have a bad rep on phangan all over the place..
  25. They deal a lot with local authorities aside from having a lot of local staff, is the same. Must be a nice job as a local; you get double holidays 😉
