I was on my way to Jomtien on Third Road near Soi Land Office and there were police cars and caution tape on the sidewalk. The cops were questioning Thais and there was a body under a tarp on the sidewalk. Has anyone heard what happened?

So she got away with being a filthy panza mojada for 30 decades? Let her rot in jail for the next 3. Her grandchildren can visit her there.

Air India turns out some fine aviators, just don't let them near the engine kill switch.

The prison thing is theater. Freeze his assets, strip his weath, seize his passport and let the dotard live out the rest of his days in a cave temple.

True, except for the paternalistic no drinking between the hours of 1400 to 1700. Why do Thais tolerate being treated like dull witted children by a government that most wouldn't trust to run a Kool-aid stand? The chit that's going on here lately is getting under my skin, and I don't even drink.

You sound like one of those obstinate Brits. The cost of the initial 90 day Non O Visa depends on where the application is made and whether it's single or multiple entry. How much does a single entry 90 Day Non O applied for from within Thailand cost?

I believe the number was over 3,000 and dealers were targeted with users being bycatch. Sadly, it appears that it was more about consolidation of power by a group who has been named by the UN as a government sanctioned organized crime gang instead of trying to irradicate drug use.

Is that true? I haven't been out in over a year and then it was easy to drink for 24 hours per day in Pattaya if you knew where to go. Some wild stuff happens in the wee hours when there are few customers and a lot of women who want to make a last minute couple of hundred baht.

Sorry, didn't mean to be that much of a dick. People use imprecise language, especially around the visa subject. Some posters seem pedantic but it does clarify things.

Thanks for the replies. Ignore the downvotes, I've got someone stalking me and downvoting every post I make. The doctor's purported salary does shed light on how much a Thai person requires to live a decent life question.

For which most honest people who hold down jobs (and don't want drugs pushed on their kids) are eternally grateful for.

I'm a bit of a rube, so I'll answer in the affirmative. The salary is what surprised me.

This is from a Reddit thread from a Thai doctor in a government hospital. According to many members of this forum, doctors also live in poverty.

My God man, what did you do to that piece of pork? It looks like jerky! The British should be tried in The Hague for their culinary 'arts' 555

It's not his house, it's his Thai son's house. The issues with teen aged daughters in Thailand sounds like the same ones parents in the West have with their daughters, minus the excessive use of toilet paper.

The annual retirement extension costs 1,900 baht. Have you ever been to Thailand?

There's a nice outdoor bar with live music on Soi Excite that goes until 4am. Thai customers and upscale. Don't think they'll be facing fines.

Reddit had an 'ask me anything(AMA) from a Thai physician who works in a government hospital. Being Thai, you can ask anything but the person was selective to which questions he/she responded to. Perfect English. The salary shocked me.

Imagine the delight of the local inhabitants when hordes of Indians show up in their towns and start the shenanigans like like public defecation and groping women walking from the water to the well.

Because the soft on drugs approach is working so well in Western countries?

Cash is king. People use these payment systems and then snivel to all and sundry about how they're victims when more clever people shear the sheep.

The 29 Thai nationals will either commit suicide or die whilst trying to escape.

They're not 'unlicensed' they're 'undocumented'.

That's why the vast majority of people, legal and otherwise, emigrate to the U.S. Thailand is a great country for old men and drunken whoremongers, but what sane Westerner would want their kid to be educated in the land of rote learning? A kid with a lobotomy in the West is better off than an Einstein who attends the village schools.
