the reason can only be 3 options: mentally ill, too much weed or too much alcohol. Maybe 2-3 of them together.

now you can imagine how many Thai Ladies are married to a Thai Man and to a Farang.

looks like a typical Swedish Tourist, these bloody immigrants damage the reputation of Sweden. Hope he rods in a Thai prison.

its a nice saying, but makes no sense. I think its much more difficult to con a dishonest person, because they know all tricks and don't trust anybody. Honest people are very often rather naive and can easily be fooled.

you can also invest in Gold ETF's which tracks the price of physical gold and each unit is backed by physical gold, providing high liquidity and eliminating storage, security and purity issues. Gold mining stocks are more volatile and risky as they do not depend on the gold price only, but are also subject to the risk of the general stock market.

the first step would be to cancel the visa free entry for Indians

of course this story is complete BS, nobody can force me to carry anything on a plane and if I do then I must be braindead because the consequences are much worse.

right, not even Muslim Countries like Malaysia or Indonesia have this kind of stupid laws. I also don't care about the drinking hours, but not being able to buy alcohol in the morning or in the afternoon makes shopping stressful. Now everybody who needs to buy beer, wine or spirits has to go shopping between 11.00 and 14.00h which is causing additional traffic and queues during lunch hours. Spreading shopping activities over the whole day would make much more sense, but we know, common sense is not very common.

according to my lawyer there is no legal basis to charge fines, some Juristic Person Manager's act like dictators and overstep their boundaries and try to make up some ridiculous rules, but even if they get approved at the AGM they will never hold in court. They are mostly used as a threat but can never be enforced.

right, but it requires an AGM resolution approved by min. 50% of the co-owners in the building and it has to be mentioned in the house rules and regulations, which is very difficult to achieve. Usually the co-owner attendance of AGM's incl. Proxy's is below 50%.

there is no legal basis for charging fines, unless its for costs caused by the tenant or co-owner or interest on late payments, but that's it. The Juristic Person or the Committee cannot just make up some random fines for breaking any rules. It will not hold in front of a court.

charging fines is for sure illegal and not covered in the Condo Act.

that would be illegal, they can keep the car until you sober or you paid the fine. If they really want to enforce it, then nobody who intends to drive home after dinner and a few drinks (not drunk) will ever buy a new car again for themselves or their Thai wives. Another blow to the car industry, the tax uncertainty has already stopped many Farangs to send money over to Thailand to buy new cars.

same in Singapore and Hongkong, but in most other countries they ignore it or don't release such info (China).

I went recently to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya and asked for LASIK prices, but the ladies at the reception told me that LASIK will not last long and I might have to undergo another Laser procedure after 2 years, which is bull<deleted>. They are trying to sell Super Sight Surgery for THB 260k and don't even bother to tell you the price for LASIK.
