it is what it is

My wife runs one of the Government ministry offices locally so i try my best to keep legal in all aspects don't understand the logic, how would not declaring something you don;t have to declare be illegal? couldn't your wife have given you better advice?

...and?

to much what??

yea, because ayutthaya never floods...🙄

fat westerners eat junk food and consume copious amount of alcohol. that's what i have noticed.

westerners use the corrupted 'falang' as a disrespectful reference to some thai's inaccurate english pronunciation. ironically, i'd bet many of those using the corruption are themselves far from perfect speakers of the thai language.

yea, this caught me out the last time i visited singapore, possibly the airline could have mentioned it and i'd have sorted before i arrived. it was time consuming and fiddly to complete on arrival but helpful staff were on hand. all well and good, except there will be considerably more people arriving in thailand than singapore, this really needs to be well planned and appropriately resourced.

yea i know. however, my gf has 80% dark film on her car windows - on all her cars, and frankly it's scary being in the car with her at night, she's a decent driver, but what good is that if she can;t see where she's going!

get a friend to pick you up, take the bus

the forms usually specify who is eligible to sign as witness, and yes family members are usually not permitted, what do the witnessing instructions on the form state? i'd suggest following them...

ignoring the drunk idiot, the whole environment, the individuals, the atmosphere just looks awful, some enjoy it i guess...

no one thinks that, apart from the ignorant, because thailand isn't a third world country

sorry to pop your thai bashing bubble, but thailand is not a third world country - check the definition for yourself. thailand has an upper-middle income economy having made significant progress in economic and social development over the past few decades

lateness is fine, as long as you communicate, basic error. sounds like a bit of a cheapskate restaurant, another error. you might get another shot, but you'll need to up your game.

it was reported in the uk press he was unemployed

it's actually far more common than you think for someone to go missing, in the uk around 170,000 people are reported missing every year, that about one every 90 seconds - and those are only the reported ones. some people just want to disappear.

haha, yea, movie is a very bad idea, thought everyone knew that...

there's always one...

yea bangkok is finally growing up, public transport congestion is nothing new as can be seen in capital cities the world over. indeed, the govt need to introduce a ULEZ zone, they really need to do something constructive to counter the increasing pollution problem.

italians and indians slapping each other, so?

10k handout to poor people, if used in the right way, can make a lot of difference. to make a real difference capital investment is needed, not populist sticking plaster schemes that deliver short term and questionable benefit.

don't waste your money, find a partner you can trust

WTF !! these people are brain dead absolutely these people? please don;t negatively generalise. my gf is thai, she has a bachelor degree, two master degrees two and two doctorates, she owns 7 properties, 4 cars and runs a portfolio of successful companies, brain dead? i don;t think so. stop hanging out with the low class, low educated and you'll be amazed at how amazing thais and thailand can be.

i doubt very much this was purely down to cannabis
