That's all legal and above board and just part of Thai culture as well as extensions from provinces not lived in- according to the many on here who use agents to do this. 😀

Crucifixion's too good for 'im

Pretty sure a Thai man was recently sentenced to 50 years in prison charged under 112, how did that happen if 'we have not been using 112 at all' ?

Funny bloke Stick, described the ex owner of the Eden club Marc as a 'gentleman' and posted an ass licking eulogy on his demise. It's understandable he was scared of the thug when alive, but why still boot licking after he died? Marc for those who do not know was a pimp, blackmailer, convicted drug dealer (Japan) and murderer who ended up gunning down his ex girl friend and his business partner in Sukhumvit a couple of years ago. Luckily the business partner, although shot, got the gun and killed Marc. Top bloke according to stick!

Seeing Lamyai next week, not seen her sing this before, an old song probably the best version is this one.

Hit and miss with food, better on some legs than other with the same airline. Last year on emirates economy it was the best food I ever had on a flight, time before on Qatar Q class the food was the worst and worse even than their own economy. Any airline is better than TG though, food not fit for a soi dog.

ey up Yorkshire Airline is better than Thai

No it's not it's a British owner of multiple bars

What about the group who owned the bar pimping out kids, were they cleared as well?

When was that? even in the 90's Thais I knew in the UK always used Eva as they claimed they got poor service from Thai. I had to agree with them after a while when buying a one way ticket having a multi entry visa, they sent an email saying I would not be allowed to enter with it. They would not answer emails or the phone so had to go to the office London. When I got there just two staff no customers and phone ringing not answered, when I asked them they did not know they had to ring the check in staff at Heathrow- no problem, why the email then? oh rules must have changed. Never used them after that.

Always about the customer of the bar, never about the pimps providing underage kids in that Pattaya bar. Why has the owner of the bar, not the manager, been arrested and taken to court? I 'wish' they had been.

Kai Pannnipa sang a lot of northern songs, not heard from her for a long time, very famous classic. there is always lovely Luktarn from Chiang Mai, although don't recall her singing any northern type song.

Some good singers come from the North but I don't know of a modern specifically northern sound, there is Lana of course. Just got in from seeing Ann Oradee one of the most popular luktung/morlam singers at present, she has great dancers, often with her husband in a larger morlam band

All depends on the builder, the stress would finish some people off

The whole nightlife scene sounds like a scam these days, more of a mugs game than ever.

Are these the bars owned by the one stickman calls the Arab? they have a terrible reputation he talks about lady drinks this week https://www.stickmanbangkok.com/weekly-column/2024/01/lady-drinks-gogo-bars/

Does not start until 2025, massive job spying on millions of bank accounts

Pales into insignificance when you consider what illegal immigrants get, over a million quid a day just spent on free hotels.

Banks and esp HMRC send letters about increases and tax codes, I wonder if this is to catch people when letters might be returned not at this address? They could send emails, they do it even when paperless contact is chosen, bit risky.

why? tell them you just came here.

The usual, it's part of Thai culture, they are all at it nonsense so it's ok, they are NOT all at it. But those involved in bribery like to think so, not all offices are corrupt, not all schools, not all police or local officials.

How many have you been in and used?

Give them sharia law- hands off!

For one thing the misguided attempt to prevent the fraudsters by making applicants leave the money in the bank for 3 months after the extension and then half of it until the next seasoning period. You seem to think all offices and IO are corrupt, they are not which is why agents often need to go up country where they are.
