She better stay alert. In Thailand, thieves sometimes seek revenge when their catch turned out to be junk. And bear a grudge against the owner of the goods. That is something I read decades ago, in a Thai text book(written by Thai).

Tourist Police, local police, and the US Navy Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) teaming up for a major safety operation aimed at protecting visitors. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- US Navy MPs among them. For watching own sailors?

A motorcycle Robber.

Unsung hero of the day. A good Samaritan to the less fortunate dog. It is quite upsetting it is often gentle friendly dogs that suffer most(while vicious dangerous ones often thrive).

Pattaya eerily quiet... ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This is the Dead Quiet Pattaya LOL. Youtube footage just from yesterday...

The DTV is effectively a five-year tourist visa... ------------------------------------------------------------- Just like Retirement O(12months' validity, no need of 3 monthly border trip) is the technically One Year tourist visa.

The much-hyped Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is proving to be more of a bureaucratic headache than a dream ticket. While Bangkok Immigration (Division 1) has published criteria for extending the visa by six months, these guidelines aren’t binding on provincial offices, leaving holders navigating a minefield of uncertainty. ------------------------------------------------------------ Thai bureaucrats' Empty Pride & Public Stance demonstrated again. When the government does something 'Too Nice' for aliens, they feel Obliged to Do Some Form of Harassment to spoil their joy (simply to show They Are There). Or they do it for their expectation for Kick-Backs under the table in Brown Envelops from the Visa Broker? The kind of scenario I can easily imagine: Individual application for its extension: May be Denied. But different story if Visa Agent comes between them(foreigners and immigration office). Just like China's military, Thai immigration often runs on Unspoken Profit Motive.

Hello, BritManToo, Thank you for your advice.

Good afternoon. Another cool dish for today's lunch. Bite-Sized Steamed Chicken and Tossed Salad on Chinese Noodle, with Sweet & Hot Dressing(in a cup between tomatoes).

Hello, rice cooker is the very versatile device, isn't? A lot more than many people thinks. I also like beans very much. Your post encouraged me to do it at home. I currently eat peanuts each day(as the easiest bean to eat; can be taken without any further processing) though. Thank you for giving me a good inspiration.

Thank you for your kind reply again. As it is a very dense bread, do you slice it thinly when you eat it? So when you eat it, do you usually thinly slice it?

Thank your for your speedy reply. 17x12cm and 700g? Is it a high density bread? 17cm is shorter than the length of one loaf bread(700g). So I felt it might feel heavier when picked up.

Hello, KhunLA, What is the size of the bread you baked today? Diameter, height, and weight, please.

The Worlds' Biggest Organized Crime: CCP(Chinese Communist Party).

Bangkok prison scrutinised for bribes and Chinese inmate privilege ------------------------------------------------- Looks like quite a few Little Thaksins in this kingdom. Privilege in jail turned out to be no longer for the 0.1% of the kingdom alone LOL.

Draft Dodger back home. And a Professional Bilker here. Quality Tourists TAT sought: Near-Endangered Species in the Land of Smile?

Good afternoon. After cool morning, temperature started to pick up in the afternoon. So I made some cold noodle dish. Today's Lunch: Tuna Vegetable Salad Pasta(cold noodle) and Chunky Tomato Soup.

Death of Environmentally Friendly mover. Rest In Peace...

It is at the amazing level. Often involves knife(or gun) fight, and explosives. What is actually the cause behind their Rivalry? If you know much about it, information requested, thank you. I heard about that phenomenon more than a decade ago. But unsure what actually makes them fight so bitterly.

Thaksin's Hospital Suite Admission Reveals He Wasn't in Critical Condition ----------------------------------------------- Of course, he wasn't. Everyone would know that Unless Born Yesterday. Just wanted to dodge legal proceedings. Pretty common loophole taken advantage by corrupt cunning politicians worldwide..

Tourist Restriction. I wonder if you still remember mass Anti-Govt Movement during the previous military regime(at the time of C/virus pandemic). And it is the nightmare to the ruling class of the kingdom.

A good idea. But they may get over it. In the 3rd world countries, personal documents counterfeit is so rampant. Even in Thailand, Fake ID shops are thieving in a touristy area.

Following the video’s circulation online, numerous viewers have expressed concerns regarding the implications of the free visa policy for tourists. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Import 3rd World People. Import 3rd World Problems. As simple as that. Since last year, Visa Waivers are from 93 countries, instead of 57...

Looks like World's Oldest Democracy now got Political/Language Police(21th century Gestapo), while their criminal police are at the blink of extinction. Obsessively eager to crack down on own people's freedom of speech. While they keep blind eyes to violent crimes by street gangs(especially ethnic ones).

the suspect, 19 year old Kittinan, and four accomplices orchestrated a motorcycle sale, After the buyer transferred the payment, the victim began to load the motorcycle onto a pickup truck. However, Kittinan’s group resisted, leading to a confrontation. subsequently charged with attempted murder and firearm offences, reported KhaoSod. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attempted Murder, and Gun Offence. Is that all? They said they wanted to sell a motor bike. And the buyer paid them the money. Then they refused to hand it over to the new owner. It is the act of fraud/robbery. Not added to their charges?
