  1. I would love to attend this match but at two 2 minutes rounds, it's already a let down. I'm guessing the ticket prices will be max'd out. Same for the upcoming Buakaw vs Pacquiao fight.
  2. Try this recipe, no 8 hour fryer needed.
  3. Yes, many many years ago I was in a swimming pool in Korea, with my Korean girlfriend, I didn't know she couldn't swim and she didn't tell us. A few minutes later, I see her thrashing about, struggling to keep her head above water, I swim out to help her and in an instant she's climbing on me, pushing me underwater in her attempt to stay above water, Now I'm fighting for air and came close to drowning. With my last bit of air/strength, I shove her as hard as I could towards the edge of the pool. She survived but I learned that day, saving someone from drowning you could end up being a victim yourself.
  4. Yes, I was thinking the same thing while reading the OP. Tall, slim, males that smoke are more likely the have a spontaneous pneumothorax than others. Ex paramedic.
  5. You are only allowed one extension per visa, do the visa run now and save the extension for another time.
  6. From the link; The Pattaya News interviewed the victims’ friend, who was driving another truck behind them. He said that he called the victims to ask about what caused the accident. The friend, who asked not to be identified, said that the driver of the truck fell asleep at the wheel, causing his vehicle to crash into a barrier and flip over.
  7. My brother was one of those anti-vaccine types, then he caught covid and ended up in an ICU needing an oxygen face mask. Now he changed his mind.
  8. What?? Those streets don't connect to each other.
  9. Is Google broken?
  10. In the immortal words of that Cool Hand Luke warden; "What we got here, is failure to communicate, some men just can reach the break pedal, which is what we have here".
  11. A TM 30 should be filed with the IO soon after arriving in Thailand. I'm married to my Thai wife and she owns the house we stay in, within a few days of me returning (after the Covid lock out) I went to Jomtien IO with copies of her house book, ID card and a few other copies I can't recall now (my passport/visa?) Then a few months later I applied for my extension based on marriage.
  12. How often does that situation come up?
  13. Yeah but the tenant could/should have told the owner about the leaky roof to get it repaired and not let it become the mess it is now.
  14. Wait, can police mug shots be taken while wearing clown make-up?
  15. Put some fire under his butt (in a polite/respectful way) and tell him if he doesn't help you file your TM 30 (as required by Thai law), you will be forced to move to another place that will file your TM 30.
  16. If you were to believe all the cowardly lions stories here on AN you'd think you can't walk 10 minutes in Pattaya without tripping, falling, getting hit, mugged, pickpocketed, scammed, etc. For those of us that aren't afraid of our own shadow, just be safe, look where you're walking and look both ways twice when crossing the street. It's been working for me and I've been living here for almost 17 years.
  17. ^^ This. What liquid was the cocaine in? Water? Alcohol? Ether?
  18. Do they ask you for some sort of verification or can I, I mean anyone just walk up to a person holding a sign and say something like "To Pattaya, right?" and off I, opps, I mean anyone goes on a no wait ride to Pattaya? 555
  19. Ghod I miss the US Consular outreach program where we could just walk-in and submit our forms and pay right there.
  20. Please let this be a typo, is it baby or body?
  21. There was a news article a few months ago when some Chinese tourist wore actual Thai school uniforms, they made headlines and were warned they could be fined. Student Uniform Act, BE 2551 (2008) Any person who wears a student uniform without authorisation or wears any cloth similar to a student uniform, for the purpose of deceiving another into believing him to be a student, shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one thousand baht. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Student_Uniform_Act,_BE_2551_(2008)
  22. Give your location and you'll get better answers.
  23. Serious question that may play into the relationship? How's your Thai speaking skills and her English speaking skills? When I was new to Thailand and couldn't speak much Thai and hooked up with a Thai girl that couldn't speak much English, the relationship went downhill fast.
