Welcome to Thailand!

So lame! The guest quote!!! I personally would be very angry to be ordered by anyone in any country to infringe my rights as a civilised human being. This nonsense about being a guest works both ways or maybe you randomly ask people you invite to your home " bend over "cavity search" and Pee in that cup? When I invite someone into my home they are treated as guests ie fed, watered and entertained. Phew!!!

You bet your bottom dollar it will! Fitting in with stupid photos sitting on your bed with wife and children and also sitting in front of your house. Remember, proof of income letter, proof of money in the bank, 6 months bank statements etc... their aim is to squeeze every last penny then can and the breaks will only be applied if there is a significant exodus out of Thailand.

Not in Thailand. Tentacles reach all agencies as seen in political persecution and vendetta's up and down the country.

Seem to happen a lot in Thailand, just saying!!! These king of things happen often when nepotism is always high on the Thai agenda.

Scratching my head with your initial statement. Putting the bike togeather is manufacturing the bike. I have never personally seen the draw to Harley as always seen it as over priced, and an Oldmans toy (average age of a Harley owner was 55). I love Triumph and see them as beautiful however as a kid I went with Japanese due to the bikes not peeing oil and needing a pocket full of spanners when going for a ride. Next bike is going to be a Hinckley Thunderbird..... mmmm beautiful

German born, but yes your right. However this move has been whispered about for years but the backlash prevented it from happening.

As a dog lover/animal lover I would suggest it's very simple. If he refuses to put his dogs on a lead in public then they should be taken from him and yes put down if they attack and bite. For what reason does he need as many dogs? Has he mental problems. Even when I worked my dogs I only had 6 and never had more than 2/3 out at any time, including when working. Plus on paths and when walked in public they were always on a lead. Regardless how well trained you think your dogs are, things happen and I could not forgive myself if because of my arrogance my dogs got run over. If I had a nippy dog it would be muzzled.

Start persecuting workers because the owners do not want to pay for work permits will back fire as it has in the past. Have they forgotten the exodus of labourers last time.e they did this and thailands building industry ground to a halt!!

This worked well during Mr T. years. Emphasis on education by native English teachers most of whom had to use monthly border hops as schools did not want to spend on work permits. Coincidentally during this time Thailand was climbing the English proficiency ladder. Everything change with the coup!!!

You don't really know Thailand or have a short memory! 2019? The 400k/800k rule was almost immediately brought in. I had lived in Thailand for over 8 years, built a house etc then came this gem over night! With the rumours of compolsory health insurance. Anyone willing to print a target on their backs when Thais were known to be tortured bank accounts emptied then murdered for a meer 100k baht. No thank you.

What nonsense! Just because he is an idiot isn't a reason to hang draw and quater him, especially when groups of Thai men who beat tourist old age pensioners nearly to death and get a 500baht fne and a wai! Justice for all. Note: Never settle in Thailand and invest more than you can walk away from.

I think he already tried that and her family said "No!"

Very well put! I think you missed out the army's criminal part in causing this mess. T was doing OK for the people even though the expats hated him included me. Some even cheered when the tanks rolled in (not me). The army screwed up so badly (who would have thought it) that turned Mr T into Saint T where if left alone he would have ran his course and the same with his sister. I would say "let the people decide, but the judicial corruption and biased leanings even put an end to that.

I looked at this some years ago and basically shocked me. I had a very good income and a "A" credit rating in Thailand (3 car loans and 3 motorbike loans) but the bank/credit card wanted me to give them 50,000baht and then would lend me my money and charge me interest on it! My reply was "you must be mad". So! We took a credit card out in my wifes name with zero income but married to me a foreigner and she got 50,000baht credit card. No wonder Thailand is in a banking mess. A banking system when I think back to 2002 my first thai bank account, has regressed and not progressed.

Ask the expats that question! 90 day reporting, annual application with reams of photo copying information that they already have then sprinkle ever changing rules with a few days/weeks notice.... yep it's anything close to easy oh and let's not forget the 400,000/800,000 baht sitting in a Thai bank which has been known to leak!!! My Thai wife in the UK has nothing like that to go through and can work any job she likes.

What more do you need to know? A 62 year old tourist was beaten up and robbed of his bag and a gold chain worth 120,000baht! Do you think anything can justify that?

You were on the right track until you fell into the "human causing climate warming". Very arrogant to think we humans can cause anything on earth due to the fact we are but an ants fart on the back of a buffalo. The big shiny thing in the sky causes over 97% of weather/global tempretures etc, animals less than 1% and volcanoes cause far more changes. Co2 levels have been more than double the current levels and as for sea levels the have been far higher and lower. Then there are inconvenient facts like the industrial revolution and world wars. Just stop and take a look at the properties owned by those so called elite screaming about climate change and their property portfolio's which include multi million $ beach front properties or island that 20 years ago they were saying would be covered by water. Ask the question, can you get 30 year mortgages in London or even Bangkok etc? Every single climate scare has failed to materialise, so how many before you can call it a Hoax?

Why? He is an adult male who is living his life the way he wants. It was other people who believed they had the right to know his every move. I used to head out to work on a Thursday only returning home on a Tuesday and when I joined the Army at 20 I would be out of contact for months and that continued after I left the army. My family let me live my life knowing I was able to take care of myself. It's his family who panicked. Let men become adults!!!

Come on America, start taking a very close look at Thailands banks, money laundering, slavery, copyright, and strategic value (Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore are better value for the $). Thailand and other similar countries simply take for granted the millions given to them Free, just stop giving it.

In most newish and older cars the hood release in a mechanical release. You pull!!! Also in most cars there is a way to open the drivers door without the aid of battery power. My neighbour a week ago had the same problem and the local mechanic helped her, explained what to do. Nothing smashed. New battery and on her way.

No! Because if they did there would be a massive nuclear powered aircraft carrier parked next to Thailand's waters!

Why such hate for other people? So much bitterness, you must be a hoot at the coffee shop! Never ever judge a book by its cover: be it Thai or foreign. I've met millionaires, doctors, lawyers etc at motorbike rallies as well as people with not much money doing what they love all mixing together. Get off your high horse!!!

Try researching before posting: a group of retired OAP's were arrested in Pattaya for playing Bridge some years ago. The shakedown went pear-shaped when a good old girl refused to pay!!!
