He files a false police report over a 100b taxi ride? 555.

According to Mr. Htet, the pickup driver, he claimed that he mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake after delivering goods to the hotel. This caused his vehicle to surge forward and crash head-on into the golf cart, which was transporting the two tourists.

Queue the standard "I hate Songkran" posts, 555.

Completely true, and there's other jobs where if you have 1 year work history in the west, that can work in Thailand; A CPR instructor can work as a board certified heart specialist in Thailand 😂 A First Aid instructor can be an orthopedic surgeon in Thailand 😆 A babysitter can be head of child psychology in Thailand 😜 And a wedding photographer can be a radiologist 😝 And if you believe that, I can sell you the Bridge over the River Kwai.

Agree, my wife and I have been married for over 17 years, our 5 million baht house has been in her name since we bought it 13 years ago. Never once has there been the mention of her kicking me out, or selling it out without my knowledge. A lot of jaded single old men here giving advice from either their broken marriage history or based on the news stories of bad marriages. Happy, successful marriages rarely makes the news.

They now charge for carry on? I know they have a limit to the size and weight, but charging for a simple backpack?

Why are so many maga-hats out of touch with reality?

According to the victim’s mother, the grandmother managed to capture videos of the abbot raping the girl but was threatened by him into deleting them. Despite this, she retained the evidence and handed it over to Mueang Ayutthaya Police Station. If this is true, this is no abbot (head monk), but a child rapist and needs to be treated like one.

Fair enough. Many years back, my regular barber went away, so i was looking around for a new barber. I walk into one not far from my home, and just as he's finishing up with a Thai customer I hear the customer ask (in Thai) "How much?" "Jet sip" was the reply. I understood what was asked and what was said (70b). So I ask in English "How much? And the English response was 100b, I reply in Thai "Oh, mai ow khap, nit noi pang", and turned around and never came back.

Unless you can speak/write like a Thai, why can't your wife ask them?

Fireworks and loud music all hours of the night have been going on in the Pattaya/Jomtien beach areas for many many years, how is this a surprise to anyone with common sense?

I guess this what happens when you buy tickets from low cost airline companies. I'm not saying I don't fly Air Asia, but knowing they are low cost will mean they have to cut corners where ever they can.

What possible out come is the OP expecting? A deep bow and wai and immediate lowering of the price? Not likely. There's 100's of barbers in everyone neighborhood, find one that suits your liking, no need to kick up some drama dust on the way out the door.

For Iphone users, you can either lock your phone if lost or wipe it clean if stolen, using icloud.com I don't know about android phones.

I don't know how current this info is, but I've obtained a Thai visa based on marriage about 5-7 years ago in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. I did the same visa run/mini vacation. Nice clean city with decent sites to see and good food.

Maybe air in the system? Try "bleeding" it.

My experience was with the Pattaya IO, but that incident was about 15 years ago, since then I went with the single account then more recently, changed to the easier extension based on retirement & monthly transfers, note my wife and I have a joint account in the USA and she has her own debit card if/when she needs to w/d money from that account.

I'm sure people have done it, as the first time I did the 800k in the bank it was a joint account and when I went to the IO, they said for joint accounts, the amount needs to be 1.6 mil. It didn't seem like a big deal, and it's easy for the spouse to take out the money if the frarang passes, just make sure it's not touched or goes below 1.8mil.

Me personally, I don't like ganga cookies from shops/bars. There's no way of knowing the "kick-in" time, duration, or strength variables. I equate it to taking shots of unknown alcohol drinks; mild wine or moonshine, huge difference.

I live on the Darkside and if you're interested I know a bar that has ganga cookies, PM is interested.

Can I have what you're smoking?

You're funny, good luck on the cookie hunt.

Let's take this from a practical standpoint, where could you get edible cannabis? Shoe store? No. Noodle cart? No. Barber shop? No. The sensible answer is from a weed store, and there's 100's in the Soi Buakow area, walk into one and ask, no joy? Repeat till the problem is solved.

Companies/people sell forks/sheets/gadgets online for big money, some people will buy them some won't. Maybe buying expensive items strokes some people's egos.
