  1. It is. The water for lipe is taken from Adang. A resort already built many years ago on Adang looking towards lipe. The resort had stopped building and then restarted I think it is complete and actually if my memory serves correctly I saw it on Agoda. The time that it was built it was clearly illegal. I don't see how as this is a national park but this is Thailand.
  2. These are not official requirements for anything including visa extension. Pink card lol
  3. As this guy is a tourist I'm absolutely fascinated to know where he's going to keep the passport that will be more safe than on his person. 30 years of traveling the length and breadth of South and East Asia and never once lost a passport. Four continents better part of 50 countries. Risky 555
  4. And if it were Friday night and you had to produce your passport?? You might be spending the weekend in jail. Why would you ever allow an employer to keep a passport? It's ironic that you think the passport so important that you keep it in it safe but fail to see the importance of keeping it on your person when traveling Yes, aside from trips to the South and back up I think I've only been asked for my passport twice in 30 years. What if? You are legally required to have that on your person. It's possible that a pink card would suffice but a driver's license definitely not. Whether a driver's license has got you through the mess many have said that it had. Well in the future? Will it for this person that open the thread? Who knows
  5. Depends I've had drs license accepted making withdrawals from banks. Are you willing to gamble? If the cops want it and you're wherever how are you going to produce ppt? Had seven 48 page passports over fifty years. Cambodia, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia... Never lost. What sort of individual loses or has stolen a passport! It's your life
  6. I would take it. Moreover, believe all advice not to unsound. Are you in habit of losing important documents? Official's won't care about photocopies. Don't believe anyone stating otherwise - bring it.
  7. Anybody remember that tranny airline? Never got off the ground. Was going to have all tranny steward/esses. Never happened
  8. Agreed. Russia is pretty much Asia especially if we consider former republics. That's why I stated numerous times EAST Asians if you look back far enough. You probably entered the conversation and saw one of my posts and I just happened to state only Asians. Like everyone I'm making a sweeping generality but at least it's not negative bias. I know in rushing guy who's been married to a tire woman for well over a decade and has a child. The child speaks Thai Russian and English. I think this entire form should really back off on the Russians. Ask yourself this how much control do you personally have over what your government does? How much input do you have as an expatriate here?
  9. Haha sign the photo that you are in declaring it to be you in the photo. The whole thing so moronic. Never had to sign the photo page. I just bring six photos in and a blank piece of paper and let them stick them on as they like. Surely as many have noted when you do it they've always got something to say so I just let them do it.
  10. Stupid name More stupid slogan The only thing that will keep this boondoggle flying is cheap fares. Hope airline run better than it's marketing team
  11. You're dreaming. Most places in the world do not make efforts to know neighbors any longer. This is very true in US and probably has been for decades in Metro areas Thailand is very transient. You're only the neighbor as long as you've the visa to stay on. Maybe they are feeling sheepish bc of all the cultural prejudice and know how westerners are influenced re Ukraine / Russian propaganda Finally, maybe they simply don't speak English. Russians by nature are not jovial people. Steeled by bad weather, bad government and hard times. Oh that's right, can't speak imperial English, not happy enough for you (insert fake Thai smile here) - just stay home.
  12. These photos are more or less what I present as well ????????
  13. As someone who enjoys his privacy even when on a public beach or in a pub I think you're being harsh. Remember, many cannot speak English very well if at all.
  14. I happen to know a bit about Russia and Russians. It's you that is jumping to all sorts of wild ideas and conclusions. Did I ever state they were not keen on Thais? No, I stated East Asians. This is cultural it dates back to the Mongol hordes to the Russo Japanese war and then as recently as the 80-90s. Soviets and Vietnam. That was a last gasp boondoggle before the empire fell. There also seems to be hard preference for their own kind here on holiday. I'm sure many of the Russian girls are hostesses or online and offline entertainers. I don't think judging by what ethnicity Russians pair with that they are interested in Asians or in this case Thai romantically or aesthetically
  15. This story is a mess. Please find someone that can write. What a hash of details and information
  16. Despite western education he's no friend to us farang. Government policies were tepid, unproductive, unremarkable. In past decade I'm unaware of anything he's said or done that signals a need to replay this tired, old song Took power post coup and he's ok with that? No thanks
  17. Of course, if you don't keep banking apps on your phone or have two phones seems problem solved. I rarely get calls from calls unknown. How's this happening to you folks? Online vendors selling your numbers? My wife buys modest amount online and doesn't seem to be a problem for her
  18. Well, I'm sure they're a bit sheepish because of the war as well. Russians also have an odd mixed inferiority superiority complex like Koreans
  19. Not searching was the point. It was random. What random gave me was that observation after thirty minutes. You throughly misread my post, then return to blast me. I really don't care about trannies or the alphabet people just making an observation. I'm guessing women with penises don't like crochet or quilting either. Guessing a lot of men without penises don't work on cars much or do much fishing. Just guessing
  20. It's not a stew because nothing is stewed. It's pretty much fried and then simmered a bit. It is absolutely delicious made correctly but like Masaman it never is.
