    It turns out that he was apprehended in Thailand and flown to Atlanta. This was two years ago. STILL no word on how the case turned out. What was the sentence?

    I moved here for a lower cost of living. Their so-called "culture" was not one of the attractions. At my age (75), even the women are not among the attractions. You can't shoot pool with a rope. 🙂

    I do my best to stay inside during the entire Songkran period. I only like to get wet when I am taking a shower. I learned long ago that Songkran would only run my blood pressure up to the stratosphere and cause me to react in ways that might get me beaten up or killed. Given those facts, my decision to stay in my condo for the duration of Songkran makes a lot of sense.

    What was the outcome and sentencing on this case???

    How did they know he was flying to Atlanta?

    Yes, Senator Tillis is INDEED a "deranged nutcase".

    An incredible amount of heartless expats on this thread. You would probably not change your opinion if the woman were a relative of yours. As far as I am concerned, you have no business using up valuable oxygen.

    Western expats. Our contribution to the Thai economy is beyond dispute, unless you are Chinese.

    A good rule of thumb seems to be that the laws least likely to cause harm incur draconian and insane penalties, while those involving life and safety are not given much thought.

    Thailand makes incredible amounts of money from this and the ridiculous "re-entry permits". Western countries need ways to punish them for abusing our citizens.

    She appears to be of African descent. Thai racism, no doubt.

    Draconian and insane. Punitive tariffs should be assessed until they loosen their grip.
  13. Felton Jarvis
    As the Thai obsession with "overstay" continues unabated.
  14. Felton Jarvis
    Completely beside the point. I should have the OPTION, without punitive tariffs. They can find other ways to raise money besides punishing their number one cash cow.
  15. Felton Jarvis
    Utterly irrelevant to the post. We are ALL here by choice. That does NOT relieve the Thai government from fair taxation and fair treatment of those who want to retire here. Nothing is being taken out of their economy and we are pumping massive amounts of cash into that economy. No one is under the delusion that they would be "missed". The simple truth is that we benefit them by our presence.

    The THAI GOVERNMENT cares about tariffs. Theirs make it ridiculously expensive to buy Western goods. Hold their feet to the fire until they make it less costly for Western expats to live here. We are already spending all our money here. They have no right to demand more.

    Frequently, these kinds of charges are an attempt to extract money from the accused. I take these "me too" accounts with a grain of salt. I have always enjoyed Russell Brand's perspective.

    I wish the mods would do their job and expunge you lot from Asean Now. Always an insult, never anything positive.
  19. Felton Jarvis
    The Thai GOVERNMENT certainly knows about economic policy. America will make no friends with these tariffs.

    This must be a Brit doing the posting. They expect us ignorant Yanks to read their minds. Detecting Pom sarcasm is like nailing jelly to a tree.

    If you feel that way about fellow expats , feel free to assume room temperature. Tired of "expat haters" who blame everything on those trying to live frugally in Thailand.
  22. Felton Jarvis
    Takes a month for a new card to arrive in Thailand. Much personal experience here.
  23. Felton Jarvis
    So now, the "Hungry American" can eat roaches in a Thai jail or prison. Again, the punishment here will never fit the crime. Hunger or insanity is never an excuse under Thai law.
  24. Felton Jarvis
    Of course, it will. Actions have consequences. Expats will be the ones who suffer.

    Meanwhile, a "concierge service" in Bangkok is posting scare messages about 200 thousand baht fines and jail time if you fail to file or get a tax identification number. I am very interested in staying out of jail and not incurring fines that I am unable to pay. Any advice??
