    Yes, for sure.  There is always a plan B.  Folks just keep thinking there is no life outside Thailand after coming here.

    Not since early February 2019. However, I do know that if I compared downtown Rayong with downtown San Francisco, it would be the latter that appeared to be a Third World city, not Rayong. 

    Agree 10000%.  I lived in that S******e called San Francisco, and counted down the days when I was leaving that city for Thailand.  It is a nightmare!

    This is Thailand, the police can and will do basically what they want.  A know of a Thai who used to run a small garden centre.  She came back from the wholesalers one day and her farang boyfriend of several years at the time proceeded to help her unload a few things from the pick-up.  A plain clothes officer took a photo and demanded 30000B hush money for him allegedly working even though money was obviously never going to change hands.  He refused and got locked up in IDC before being deported at his cost and blacklisted for 5 years.  This despite the best efforts of a lawyer.  Admittedly he didn't help himself with his big mouth but testimony not to assume that the law has to be followed in the same way  as it would be in farang land.

     

    MC stands for Master of Ceremonies and is basically someone who hypes the crowd, ad-libs to the music and forms part of the overall performance of the DJ.  Their roots in Europe trace back to the rave/hardcore scene but are common in both the Drum & Bass and UK Garage scenes. 

    MCs are not needed!  If the DJ is good, you do not need a loud mouth person screaming at you when the song is playing....this generation have no clue about a DJ taking them on a Journey....my God, they are so vapid!

    You are wrong this is widely known. Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is one of the two enzymes primarily involved in alcohol metabolism. Several variants exist of the gene that produces ALDH. One of these gene variants, which generates a nonfunctional enzyme, is present in Asians but not in Caucasians and African-Americans.

    Is that why they get flushed when drinking copious amounts of alcohol?

    I will bee surprised if in 50 years there is not a new ethnic population group in Thailand of Russian origin..much like the Chinese and Indians.

    Keep dreaming.  The Thais have done a great job keeping those folks out...and they have the best immigration laws on the planet,.  There is a reason why the UK has lost it's soul and France is finished.  But Hungary, Thailand, China, Russia and Vietnam will all prosper and never lose their identity.

    Thai and Non Thai Nationals must be treated equally under the Thai Law ! There is no other way ! Selective Persecution can not be allowed in Any Country! All crimes committed by any Thai and Non Thai Nationals must be dealt with to the fullest extent of the Thai Law!

    This is Thailand and not some Western country!  Like it or leave!  Deal with it or leave.  The Thais do not need anyone telling them how to run their country.
