Liverpool Lou replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
A historical setting but fiction. -

All that is just your opinion. And some would say that it is a "tasteless, poor quality, bad, crappy" opinion, but you are entitled to it. -
Bringing Cheese to Thailand via airport
Liverpool Lou replied to croftrobin's topic in General Topics
Importing food into Thailand is not allowed without an import permit but if you're not stopped it doesn't matter. If you are, it could be confiscated. -

It's only no problem if you're not stopped by Customs and it isn't confiscated as all food is a restricted item that, officially, needs an import permit. I'm guessing that you didn't declare yours! -

My claim to fame. I knew the guy in the green and yellow. That would be a claim of insignificance, not a claim to fame, no one's still heard of you. -

A sensationally awful version of it. -

It's not a song about "killing females", it's a fictional song lyric about one (fictional) crime of passion. Singing about a fictional situation is no different than it being written about in novels that are read by millions and no one is complaining about those. -
How to fortify yourself against online scams

"...hackers had secured access to their personal information through their charging cables..." That was quickly debunked as extremely unlikely in isolation. -
What to do if Thai police stop you and attempt a ‘shake-down’
Liverpool Lou replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
And will they even be bothered if you call them at 1 or 2 am while half cut and tell them you are being extorted by the Police at a check-point in Lad-Prao ????? Its fine saying... they have a 24 hr manned emergency number.... but do they really consider police extortion an emergency, or something that we can just deal with ourselves ??? My point was that they are available, there is a 24-hour emergency number. Whether they can assist in the manner that so many foreigners seem to think the civil servants of the embassy staff should is another matter. -
All those people knew that they were only temporary visitors here, according to their visa, and they were not forced to leave Thailand they did that of their own accord. "We really don't think this is funny, and do not appreciate your disdainfulness". Who's the "we" that you seem to assume that you're representing?

I don't think that any foreigners pay IOs, Thai agents do that. -

"Tourist police are the joke of the RTP. They have little power..." That is nonsense, the Tourist Police Bureau is a section of the RTP and those officers are all police officers, they have exactly the same powers as the other police units. You may be referring to Police Volunteers but they are not Tourist Police, they are civilian volunteers working with the Tourist Police. -

They're only "useless" if you have no idea what their job is. They are civil servants, not lawyers, they're not qualified to give legal advice but they can tell you the best thing to do. -

Most embassies have a 24-hour emergency number, the British one sure does. -

The article was written by some bloke in Phuket so, yes, you're right, what does he know! -

thst's the point of the article - they can't directly say it though, can they? When you write "they" it looks as though you think this OP is information issued by the police. It isn't. -

Peter Roche at the Phuket Go put this out, not the police, so it is not an admission that they have problems!
