why not just move to Thailand at 50 when the retirement law kicks in instead of abusing the visa system and making life more difficult for us law abiding folk?

I did. I said go home.

it's people like you that Thailand is actively trying to stop abusing their visa system. Either play by the rules like the rest of us or go home. You are NOT a tourist if you are staying here for 10 months out of a calendar year on visa exemptions.

what's her line ID mate i'm free tomorrow..

many times.

whatever mate.

the issue i struggle with most is when my problems affect other people. like my wife, family etc. i dont really care what happens to me per se, i just dont want my family to ever suffer for my actions.

I'll be honest Charlie. In my youth I was a stickler for running away from my problems I buried my head in the sand a lot, hoping that whatever it was would go away. It never did. Now I have paid the price, but the price is paid! and I can now move on (hopefully) and forget the whole thing. Karma is real.

ive been dealing with a lot of stuff lately, mostly self inflicted from my past. its been causing me quite a bit of grief to be honest, both personally and financially. however I have noticed a change in the way I react to stresses beyond my control. I tend to fix things quicker now, rather than bury my head in the sand like i did before. I believe its how we react to situations that defines us as people. if you just try to ignore the problem and hope that it goes away one day it will come back to bite you hard on the backside. But if you deal with your problems head on like a man then no matter how hard it may seem initially, the feeling of getting it resolved and the peace of mind that it brings is worth its weight in gold. cheers, hope everyone is keeping well!

police doubling as taxi drivers now... stellar work fellas

Why are you comparing Thailand and the USA?

why do they always wait for a tragedy to happen before they take action? Thailand - The hub of knee jerk reactions.

I hate geckos.

speaking for myself of course, I'm a sadist. I love torturing myself.

returning lost property is hardly commendable police work, is it? lets see how they fare with this shopping mall killer...

....and matching clown pants ????

sorry, but I just cant take this clown seriously, especially in that Jacket!

barbaric pigs.

and there again, yet another reason not to visit Phuket. getting quite the list now!

some people are easily pleased...

yep. it will all be brushed under the carpet as just another misunderstanding.

large cache of weapons? a few bullets and a screwdriver? looks like amateur hour to me...

starting at noon today mate! still recovering from last nights blowout..

about as clear as mud, yet again. good luck sticking yer hand in my pocket, that's all I can say. Srettha and his cronies won't be getting a single penny, neither will the national parks that I have to pay inflated prices for. and as for public hospitals? not a chance, unless I get my 30 baht healthcare card. no taxation without representation!

why not just buy one online?
