    Did you become your father?

    The big tiger. Bang kwang. It eats you alive. Some people in there will never see the light of day. Welcome to the foreigner wing. Of hell on earth.

    Anything that gets you high is. Safest thing to do is not get loaded or be around those who are.

    You can wig out on the herb. The stuff these days is very medically strong. Also, people tend to know their limits when drinking ( # of drinks & what kind, whiskey, beer etc) vs having no idea how potent the herb they are smoking is until it’s too late. You can also get paranoid when stoned, it’s not always mellow.

    Crude comments so far. This was a serious battery, not a joke.

    If things get “nasty”, then move. Might as well continue living there until that actually happens.

    It’s not all about opening a profitable gig if it has to be a bar.

    No complaints from me.

    Any place is paradise if you have money.

    They need to know exactly where to go so they can drive there, park & go in. Walking around means being out in the heat ????.

    Did you get the passport back?

    25k-ish in the city center is too low. Not adequate for a retired couple. Maybe doable for a single guy with moderate standards, but it would not be "nice", only adequate.

    Why would you need counter service? I have not been into a bank in years. Just use the ATM.
  15. JimTripper
    The problem you are stating with some of the banks is foolish limits on these 3rd party services. Do things right and it’s not a problem.
  16. JimTripper
    It’s people using sketchy third party transfer platforms and going through a bunch of hassles to save a few baht. Not for me.

    Larger amounts ???? ???? Wise or western union is the last thing I would do or give my banking info to. Do you want me to use PayPal as well? I will stick to a real bank wire.
  18. JimTripper
    Why would someone need a wise transfer? Almost any bank can transfer bank to bank, or if not a direct wire is universally accepted as a last resort.

    Anyone have experience with Krung Thai Bank, they are government owned.

    You can get nicked walking everywhere also. No sidewalks!

    350k is only about $10k usd??? That’s not very substantial. Your skint broke if your ever hospitalized and/or need a dental crown or two.
  22. JimTripper
    Right, I have more respect for someone that just asks, rather then reading a long winded story about their life problems and what led up to the incident.
  23. JimTripper
    You don't know that. He could be skint broke. As for blaming the victim, my insurance caps off at a reasonable amount. I could see a hospital going through that fairly easily if I'm just stuck there. So just get an unlimited insurance plan? That must not be cheap. People on here are trying to get off the O-A visa just to not get insurance. I guess it's not to common to be completely covered for anything.

    What is this guy going to do if he can't walk, or is mobility impaired, and he is stuck in Thailand with little funds and no support system? That's going to be a big problem as there is nobody around to help you out or family to step in for support, to deliver meals and what have you.

    Sit in your room and run the a/c then. If your happy being indoors all the time it’s ok. I don’t know how you stand it though, I need to be outside or have fresh air. If I had to be indoors with a/c to have a good time I would live elsewhere.
