Spot on observation. Cambodia is chomping at the bit to receive those who lack the million-plus dollars to stay in the Kingdom.  Someday soon, the Thais will have Thailand all to themselves.

I wouldn't go to Scambodia if they paid me. The Phillipines is a far better option than that Southern Chinese province with it's ex Khmer Rouge dictator. 

I used to care.

Not having to is just another benefit of giving up the overpriced feline urine that passes for beer over here. 

Chok Dee! ????

The original story mentioned CCTV, that's how they tracked him. Plus daylight eyewitnesses, plus the victim survived and could give incriminating testimony. 

And then there's Thai justice, no jury, all hearings held in secret. 

He can deny all he wants to his dying day.

He's about as likely to walk as Christopher Reeve.

As a farang, it's best to pay up.

You never know when they will "red card" you Phuket style, and then it's Sayonara Siam for you. 

Will he fight China?

Let's have him  defeat and occupy China and make himself Prez there too, and the Chinese wouldn't be able to tell the difference without looking at the new flag.

A lot of truth right there.

One day they might just come for you, as they tend to do in authoritarian states, no reason needed.  You'll sing a different song about your "rights" then no doubt. 

If they did their jobs more efficiently, they wouldn't need to "crackdown". 

They would just put out a warrant online on the day each visa expires, like every other modern immigration force manages to do, then go act on it. 

This will backfire much sooner than these gladhanding goons think. 

I hope you're all wearing your masks! A "yoong" with Covid on its paws might fly up your nose on your motosai. ????????????

so this is just if you leave the country and then re-enter to your same address? 

What about if just go to another province for a week and then return to same address? 

I don't bother with that, it's nonsensical, and almost impossible to follow up on, as they don't even know when "overstayers" have died or even left TH legally in many cases, since they are swamped in pointless paperwork that ensures the system barely functions, and in any case my wife books and checks in to hotels and then I just show up five minutes later and walk up to my room. 

Up to you. 

All of Musk's endeavours are run like a dumpster fire.

The best and brightest can be fired on a pique of Elons rage.

The infamous "pedo guy" remark during the cave rescue drama, for which he paid dearly in court, gives us some idea of his emotional maturity. 

PS: He's also being played by China big time. I can't wait for that to fall apart. 

The first posts on this thread are from 2008.

Most of those posters names are never seen on current threads, and their post counts are extremely low.

I think every one of them may have long since passed.

May they all rest in peace. 

Australia's pension rules continue to perplex most expats. 

How can we stay calm with Anutin running anything? 

He was hoping to get Thailand stoned enough to vote him up as PM.

Glut on market, too much, not enough buyers. Down to 30 Bhat a gram online. Cant give it away.. 

Yes you can, I get nice bud free from my wife's generous nephew. 

Crime down. 

Weed quality up.

Jobs created.

Jails emptied.

Sky not falling.

We told you so.

They gone-gone away? 

That's not so bad-bad.

Maybe prices online, where it's well past time the ladies all went for their own benefit, will go-go back to some resemblance to reality.

Go-go bars are now officially the tuk-tuks of the sex industry. 

Good riddance!

A man was killed in a tragic  accident . 

Nothing funny about this IMO

My condolences to his Family and friends.

No, a man was killed being an idiot. 

That makes it even worse for his family. 

But let's not sugar coat the truth. 

Play stupid games...

Covid is forever. 

Now let's live the lives we have left, ok?
