Has BeachAtlas sacked the author yet? There are 5 beaches in Hua Hin alone better than Pattaya.

Yes, true, but we have a coconut bar.....55555.

Yes...Finally Pattaya gets some respect!

I just came back from Laos via Nong Khai Immigration.  Short trip to Ventiane for 3 days.  No issues with immigration and got my stamp for one year.  

My visa is a Thai Elite 5 year.  Expires in 2026

Some folks told me that I need to also get an updated TM30 form.

Why would I need to do that if I did not move.  I only get an updated TM30 form when I moved to a new condo or change condo within the same building.

Is this a new process, where every time I take a trip I need to get the TM30 form updated.  Does not make sense, but if it is required, I guess my Landlord will be busy tomorrow.

Thanks.

The nigerians will have something to say about that.

Nigerians do not care and welcome Americans....look at how the Nigerians copy the Ameircan gangsta style.  Hell, when I am in BKK, they show me a ton of respect when the find out I am an American.

Please, Thailand, if this guy is, in fact, an American please keep him in jail here. We have too many of his kind in the

USA today .

Agree...because if he goes home, the DEI folks will set him free to beat up on American women.

Hey, Mr. Ali...tough guy, baller, COWARD!  Show your face Homie....or are you the prison punk you were born to be?  

Very sad.  May she rest in peace.

Pity for him he had 420 mg of cocaine and not 200 mg. The ministerial regulation from February 2024 that allowed police to not prosecute people found with up to 5 speed tabs, as long as they undergo rehab, also provided the same let out for small quantities of a number of over prohibited substances including cocaine, LSD, opium, ketamine etc that was not widely reported in English language media.  Here an excerpt.  Realistically though this doesn't include the offense of smuggling and it is doubtful that police would ever exercise their discretion to let foreigners off the hook and do rehab instead of being prosecuted for any drug offense, even the regulation doesn't say it only applies to Thai citizens.  Nevertheless I suspect his lawyer would have been able to make an argument on the possession case, if had less than 200 mg, if not the smuggling case. Interestingly cannabis extracts up to 30 grams are on the list, as they are still illegal.

 

(2) Narcotics of category 2

(a) Cocaine has a net weight of not more than 200 milligrams.

(b) Opium, net weight not exceeding 5,000 milligrams.

 

(3) Narcotics of category 5

(a) Opium plants or those with other names in the same genus that produce opium or opium alkaloids. Has a net weight of not more than 15,000 milligrams.

(b) Kwai mushrooms or Kwai mushroom plants or other names in the same genus that produce psilocybin or psilocin, with a net weight not exceeding 135,000 milligrams.

(c) Tetrahydrocannabinol (tetrahydrocannabinol or THC) which is an extract from all parts of the cannabis or hemp plant that is a category 5 narcotic with a net weight not exceeding 30,000 milligrams or, in the case of liquid, a net volume not exceeding 30 milliliters.

 

(4) Psychotropic substances in Category 1

(a) Flualprazolam (fualprazolam) has a quantity not exceeding 5 units or a net weight not exceeding 650 milligrams.

Yep, he is over the minimum required for him to get another chance to wake up stop using that awful drug.  He was careless and obviously stupid and lazy.  Hope he  can get his family to pay for an expensive lawyer to help him out.  I think he needs some time in prison to wake up and get his life together.

Here is a tip my Military friend told me.  Always, always perform "Operation Clean Sweep" when traveling to any parts of the world.  Stop being lazy.  Pack, then re-pack your suitcases, carry-on bag, wallets, books, etc.  It does not take long to do that.  

This guy clearly was lazy.  Now he is sitting in a hot, sticky prison with people who speak a different language and guards who do not care about you.

Read the book:  The Damage Done.

Enjoy your high!

just a reminder, just because they have fake boobs and long hair, they still think and behave like the barbaric thai man ,, take one on and another 10 cowards will appear 

Amazing that those cowards are never around until you mess with the locals.  Wonder why?  Also, the same applies to the West.  I have yet to see a 1:1 fight since 1979.  Try fighting one on one in the hood in America...pack fighting is what humans (animals) do in nature.  The best method to avoid pack fighting is to not get drunk here in Thailand and then behave like a jerk.

God, I thought High School <deleted>e like this was for kids.   Grow up folks.

I love the ladyboys here in TH.  Love them when they attack drunk Farangs.  Hey boys, next time you think you are a bad ass, try fighting LBs when they attack you in packs.  Remember, you are not home and protected by the system.  You are on your own here.

NOBODY here is talking about LOCAL Climate change.

Where have you been during the past 40 or 50 years?

 

We are destabilizing what has, for over 10,000 years, been a stable climate system.

 

Instabilities such as this can easily lead to famine when crops lose productivity at temperatures only slightly warmer than they are now.

 

We are already losing productivity due to rising mean temperatures....

 

 

The arrogance of humans knows no  bounds....just because we have fancy instruments and take more data, does not give us the right to determine if there is climate change!  God, the tailless monkeys really need to get back to wars and back stabbing each other, instead of trying to change the climate.  There is no Climate Change, it is just trendy to use that term.

Really little or no idea, Taboo! Do you think I should leave now or should I wait for warmer weather, London is not on my bucket list 

Laos, Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam are right around the corner...no one is forcing us to stay in Thailand.

The whole group of there friends are into the so called biohacking - they are all taking roids ,sarms ,peptides  etc in "large" quantities . Many physical and mental side effects from these medicines 

Ok, so all those push ups and sit ups I have been doing is just a waste....5555.

Another day, another YT freak is arrested.  Let me guess, he was abused as a child, is having PTSD due to having to work a real job...or just on roids.....???
