In this instance it sounds like the female passenger demanded that the flight crew act as her baggage coolies. I've helped passengers lift or take their bags down from the overhead compartments many times, for a number of different reasons. Have you ever seen a dude with two hook arms try to place a slippery plastic suitcase in an overhead compartment? It ends with the person sitting under the bin getting crushed vertebrae when the overweight suitcase crashes down on their head. Would you admonish Mr. Hook because his bag weighs more than 5 kilos?

Farang logic isn't logical in this instance. Why would she stab her source of financial support and condemn her child to greater suffering? Nay, the correct person was stabbed and the wife showed incredible restraint by only sticking her once. When stories like this play out in Latin America and Africa the retribution is much worse. In Brazil she'd have stabbed the woman 50x and never see the inside of a jail cell.

Welcome to Malaysia -- wear a Swatch watch go to jail
Bobthegimp replied to Jingthing's topic in Gay People in Thailand
Oh, I get it just fine, it's my gay acquaintances who struggle to understand the "breeders". I used to sit on the bus with a gay guy from work on our way to our respective homes. He was a personable, likeable fellow; as flamboyant as any gay man I've ever known. He used to take pictures of strapping young men sitting near us on the bus and text them to his "husband ". He used the word "husband" a dozen times in each conversation, as though it would add credence to the claim. As a divorced man I cheered him on, over the cliff 555 Once he told me about a new resident (also gay) who moved in across the hall in their apartment block. Well, it wasn't a week before the man was invited over for a weekend of three way buggery. It made no difference to me, which is why such things were imparted in far greater detail than most straight people could endure. We remained on friendly terms until he changed work locations, after which he would still come round to say hello. Why did this matter? Because heterosexual married people don't behave in that manner, especially if they've got kids. Sure, you've got the blue haired, tatted up, pierced in ungodly places crowd who engage in "open" "marriages", but you can't build a functioning society on those foundations. My older sister was a #ag hag, as her gay friends used to call her back in the 70s/80s when I was growing up. They were pretty decent men, save the one who delighted in drugging and raping sailors (my sister kept him away from me when I entered puberty). Back then being gay was dangerous, as there were brutal gay bashings almost every weekend. One of her friends, Rick, had his jaw broken and spent time in the hospital with other serious injuries, just because he was gay. It was horrible. Thankfully that kind of crap has come to an end. There you go. The glib response was met with a novella. -
Indian Tourist Fights with Group of Pattaya Transgender People
Bobthegimp replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The Indian has obviously never fought a pack like that. Keep your hands up, chin tucked in, and make one of the pack your "victim". Unleash everything on that guy, especially his face. Mess him up as badly as you can before the lights go out. His friends won't be able to recount the tale without looking at the poor, disfigured bastard with the mangled chops. -
And people get grief for using agents 555.

Sex belongs in the bedroom, though not necessarily the closet. Why not leave it there and get on with your life? Sexuality is a small part of who we are. Build an identity based on something other than sexual orientation and you won't be incessantly inflamed and offended. My God man, there's so much more to life. -
Large Snake Still on the Loose After Biting Pattaya Woman

I'd happily join the 97% if there was a website that opened and I could see the schedule and book a ticket. Not a Facebook user; is there another option, perhaps a phone number or email? I rode my Honda Click up to Pattaya from Phuket and would prefer a boat ride to three days on that seat again.

I bought a Click 160 from Mityon on Buakhao in mid February and they have been excellent to deal with. I've been back twice and the work I requested was done on the spot. Then I hit the road to Phuket and stopped in Hua Hin for the 1000km service. My experience there was less than satisfactory.

Requirements for a Visa on arrival
Bobthegimp replied to connda's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks for posting this. Looks like you don't need the injections or the test to enter the country. Lots of misinformation on various threads about "show your vaccine certificate". The Thai government has sobered up. Maybe Canada will someday too. -
Do they exist? They might be a decent hedge against the volatile, often falling Canadian Dollar. There are also a few countries whose industries rely on sactioned energy sources that might take a shellacing against the Baht when reality bites. Please don't chime in with why annuities are for suckers. I can read that just about anywhere. This would be a small part of my income to smooth out the bumps in FX volatility. Other options are most welcome.

Are Visa runs possible as they once were
Bobthegimp replied to AlaskaDave's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I'm confused as hell about which visa the OP has. Isn't an METV good for 60 days per entry with the option to extend by 30 days inside the country? That would give 90 days per entry. Leave Thailand and repeat, which covers the 6 months. The same could be done with a tourist visa if a second one can be obtained in a neighbouring country. Both visas would only require one border run per year, a very simple matter. Edit to add: My understanding of "visa runs" is quite dated. I was thinking of the olden days, when low income punters, shoe horned into minivans, departed in the wee hours of the morning every fortnight and returned later that evening to resume their debauchery 555. -
Income verification letter for Canadians

Thanks, this is good to know. A friend of mine used to make the annual trek to Bangkok for his income verification letter. -

Pattaya Visa Agent Recommendation?
Bobthegimp replied to CanadaSam's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Who's the tiny little fella in the picture? The man I've seen in interviews is a beast! -
I'm making the move to Thailand soon and am curious about the process of obtaining the letter from our embassy and how to use it in the application for a Non O. I've downloaded an income verification letter from my pension provider; must I submit it to the Canadian embassy in person? My plan is to enter on a 30 day exemption and begin the Non O process immediately. Is the 30 days long enough to get through the entire process? How does the 65k/month method work on a person's first Non O application? Thank you for any and all assistance. I've visited Thailand many times and stayed for periods of up to 3 months. This will be my first open ended stay, a dream I've had for 16 years.
