The Thais probably think his ghost will haunt the temple for all eternity and bring bad luck. I had my immediate falang neighbor (condo) off himself a year before the scamdemic and the place stayed empty until the day I moved out a few months ago, unrented and unsold. This is in an very popular, almost always 100% occupancy luxury condo. Owner has been trying to sell for about 60-65% of the going market price ever since. If it was a foreign freehold unit I would jump on it.

Looks like one of those dozen or so rent-a-Jeep tourist douchemobiles I've seen around. There's a yellow one in Patong that stupidly has a big "Tsunami" sticker on either its front or side, wonder (hoping) if it's the same one.....

Well done. Blood means nothing to me. Treat me with disrespect and/or cross a line and you're out of my life no matter friend or fam. My 3 daughters and ex found out the hard way I wasn't joking about that. It gets real entertaining when you then post pics on FB of you and your "new daughters" in LOS wearing "Daddy's Girl" T-shirts 555....

I found mine in bed with my TGF so it's all good. Only drawback: no threesomes (well, yet).???????? And before the judgemental brigade steps in - stepdaughter! Might have to Woody Allen that situation.

It's all in the wording. Always give 5 stars and then just write: "Due to the risks of exposure to Thailand's legal system in regard to publicizing truthful experiences with/and/or opinions in regard to businesses/individuals, I am unable to comment on this hotel/restaurant/bar/etc."

No mention of what time the fall occurred 555. Percentage of Brit tourists not drunk as howitzer after 8pm = 1% Excessive booze clause, case closed, move on, nothing to see here as per usual.

I think you, your gf and her bf really need to sit down and just hash out who gets her on which days. My gf's husband and bf didn't really get along with each other until I called a family meeting and now the 4 of us are in perfect harmony, and I only have to pay 50% of everything since the other boys are so generous to contribute 25% each to the or household(s). I'm a lucky guy.

After a couple of bottles of yadong I'd dig up my grandmother and beat her silly. Love it!

The upgrade is not "locked in" - there is a clause in the membership agreement that basically lets them do whatever they want at anytime during your membership. Price increase across the board coming in Sept/Oct according to several of their main agents.

If she's any good, take her to the casinos in Manila. The dealers and pit bosses suck at IDing card counters, especially at PAGCOR outlets (I lasted a whole week before being booted and I'm not exactly a pro counter). Or, just ditch her useless azz if you have any sense.

You are either full of doodoo, a moron, or worst case scenario both. I'll stick with my first guess. Waiting for the inevitable "I'm an ex-SEAL/LEO/MMA instructor etc."..... You are however a real black belt in bullshi-do. If actually true, it would 100% make (national!) news because it's just too good of a story not to make newsfeeds across all of LOS, and if it does, I will apologize and stick my head in the sand.

Got registered with username and password etc . All good. But what I don't understand is the Excel sheet part. We have to make out own sheet/fill it out and then upload it??? The template at the bottom of the site is not fillable so.......wtf

I lived in PI many years. Very true. Currently in Thailand for a few years because PI is still a bit scamdemic crazy with some retarded rules, and it's nice to be in a place with good infrastructure and nice local cuisine for a change, but I'll definitely move back at some some point. The good much outweigh the bad. Nice(r, IMO) people, better visa options (permanent residency visa SRRV very cheap), English is normal, waaay better beaches/diving etc (8000+islands). Only drawbacks are crappy infrastructure, local cuisine is a bit dull but no problems getting good falang food, and good medical care is limited to the bigger cities, but of high quality (many US trained docs). Thailand's cool, but definitely not permanently (for me).

When one gets fined for TM30 (or 90 day) infraction, does the passport get some sort of "fined/paid for ___" stamp like on an overstay, or is it just a piece of paper/receipt?

Don't worry about it. I'm sure one of your more entrepreneurial neighbors will rent the pace out to tourists while your're gone (and not tell you). True story 555....I know a guy who left his condo unattended and when he came back after 2 yrs, even though it looked the same, it was suspiciously clean. And then he found a thank note on one of the shelves thanking the "host" for being able to stay in such a nice place and looking forward to coming back next year. Turns out the condo manager" had quite a nice little side business in that bldg during the scamdemic.

Obviously, because there is no intelligence required to begin with to spread legs/open mouth.

The word "tragic" is extremely overused in the media when it involves single rider/driver road accidents here (no matter what nationality the dead people are) IMO. The poor guy had an accident on his bike and died. That's sad, but not "tragic." Tragic is if that bike had caused another fatality by hitting another person/vehicles (perhaps one on its way to a wedding or funeral, just to add to the definition of "tragic") that was completely unaware/uninvolved. Then again, I suppose every death is tragic for the people left behind...

In Pattaya I average about 150 baht a day (3x50) for food. That three full Thai meal like krapao/pad thai etc. Water cost is zero. Many hotel lobbies provide free iced water. If I get hungry later in the evening, there's always a bar somewhere that's having a birthday party with free food for anyone (just leave before they look like they're gonna ask you what you want to drink). Or hang out and hover nearby until some simp who can only buy his friends ring the bell. Internet - plenty of free public places or businesses where you can use free wifi. Just download whatever you want to watch later. Love - if you're handsome like me, picking up horny Russians on the beach is easy. Transport - free hotel shuttle buses Clothes - just need 1 pair of shorts per year, it's a beach town after all! Oh, forgot about rent. What rent? The beach is free and there are so many empty half-built condo shells ruins that all the developer scammers left behind. You can mov into a new penthouse every night! As for medical care - my insurance company policy is 100% free. Look up "gofundme".... My only real expense is the 368 baht it cost me per day for my 5 yr Elite visa, but that's a one-time expense every 5 years so it's not that noticeable.

Remind me not to take home any amputee freelancers from Nana when you're visiting my me.

@Red Phoenix Sorry to bother, could you kindly PM me the info as well please? TIA!

Are you on the kid's birth cert? Just being married isn't enough to snatch Jr.

I started commuting on the Bangkok Airways flight between HKT and UTP on a weekly basis recently, love it. Door to door from my condos in Pattaya/Patong in about 4 hours.

Time for a dose of reality - you can't rescue your son unless you rescue yourself first. So leave, and do whatever needs to be done to divorce the psycho and maybe get custody. Might take a long time, you may not see the kid for a long time, and nothing is guaranteed (will obviously be an uphill battle for a falang and in the end maybe even futile), but I think that's your only chance. One thing that is almost certain is that the situation will escalate if you stay. Perhaps to a point where the kid's safety becomes an issue because her hatred for you crosses the red line from verbal/light violence to a full on homicidal episode where anyone near her becomes a target. Good luck.

No longer an excuse. Any Thai with a national ID card can get an account nowadays, on the spot. https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/Thailand/percent_people_bank_accounts/ The Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia have a slightly higher percentage of "unbanked" population but we're talking Thailand here.
