17 Dead in Bus Crash on Hillside Road in Prachinburi
black tabby12345 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News
Since my settlement here in early 2000s, I have travelled almost countless times, by long distance coaches. Especially during my visa run/repeat tourist visa application period, before 2012. The most shocking sight I have ever seen during that period was, one bus(in a overturned state) laid on the steep slope outside narrow passage. Looked like native vegetation(tall trees) stopped it from further fall. And that spot was only less than 30 minutes from Udon Thani(if my memory is correct). I now feel it was sheer luck that I could stay safe and alive, without any major incidents; other than occasional a/c breakdown, or a few hours of delay in their operation... -
Youth Gang's 10 Baht Demand Turns Violent in Khlong Toei
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Hi, thank you for sympathy. What outraged me most, is those beasts targeted the less fortunate(poor migrant worker from the poorer country; he must have had a family back home, to support(old parents, younger siblings and/or wife and children). Harming a man like that, means to destroy a little humble peace and happiness of those people behind him. I might have had a different way to look at this case if they ever attacked some wealthy arrogant mobster like things... -
Youth Gang's 10 Baht Demand Turns Violent in Khlong Toei
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Klong Toei, long known as the BKK's Biggest Slum(even though rapidly changing for the better in recent decades). School children from that area, are said to lose their friends instantly, when their classmates find out where they live(deemed 2nd class citizen from the bad neighborhood). So they often do their best to hide it. And this case, only serves strengthen long standing prejudice against the descent people living there today. Those rotten brats really deserve to die for that. Some Youtube footage covering this particular area. -

Mugging, holding up, and attempted to kill others with knife, only at 10? Better put them down, instead. Won't make any descent character in any future anyway. Just a bunch of human shaped vermin. I won't have ounce of mercy toward those little bastar*s. -

Underage bastar*s. Thai juvenile judicial system, just as sick as the 1st world. Even when they are arrested for crime like this, won't face any real punishment. In the hypocritic name of "Mercy and Protection" for the minor. Recent prohibition of parental corporal punishment in this kingdom, will only worsen the situation. -

Pai's Big Bust: 7 Tourists Nabbed for Public Cannabis Use
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai
So this bust is pretty much like a Showcase Event. Some "Hardline" gesture, to the bunch of careless/reckless tourists. we are watching you. In the Broken Window Theory, uncontrolled petite offences can eventually lead to more serious crimes(deemed no one cares). Therefore it is important to show police presence from time to time. This operation perfectly demonstrated its importance, toward some unruly aliens. Hope this kind of police action serves a good deterrent... -
Pai's Big Bust: 7 Tourists Nabbed for Public Cannabis Use

Looks like the real issue is their long standing Unruly Behavior. And smoking weed in public , was Just an Excuse to bust them. TAT's cannabis law explanation site. 10 Things Tourists need to know about cannabis in Thailand I don't smoke any weed, but checked it out, for curiosity. -

British Man Arrested in Thailand After 25-Year Visa Overstay
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
I felt exactly the same way as you did. By law, he is an Immigration Offender. But Not a Criminal; as long as he didn't do anything that victimized anyone innocent. -

He certainly "Violated" immigration rules. But he (allegedly) committed no other Crimes(victimizing anyone else). If he is otherwise innocent, bit too much to call him "Criminal", to my sense though. Better wait for further development; if he isn't guilty for any other illicit acts. -
British Man Arrested in Thailand After 25-Year Visa Overstay

It only covers people who abide by it. If they don't show up, no way they can find them out; certainly won't lead to any door knockings by the cops, without any common crime involvements. Looks like no real links between TM6(arrival card(with proposed address filled in) and TM30. Or they are simply too lazy to cross-refer these records. 90 day report and TM30. Their real aim is mostly to create an excuse for imposing fine on those who failed to comply with. More requirements, there could be more people who can't(don't) abide by. -
What are you cooking today? (2025)
black tabby12345 replied to black tabby12345's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Good morning. Today's breakfast: Egg-Dropped Milk Bread Porridge. Ingredients: Milk, white bread(2 pieces), chicken mince, onion, okra, potato, pumpkin, garlic shoots, beaten egg(1-2), and water. *Chicken, onion, potato, pumpkin are pre-cooked. Bread can be any kind. Or can be substituted with rice/noodle(readily eatable) as well. First, put meat and vegetables. Next, seasonings. Then, milk, water, and diced bread. Mix them well. Finally, pour beaten egg all over on them. Will be tastier if you add some stock to the egg, too. Seasonings: Chicken stock, soy, oyster, and fish sauce, grated ginger. Cooking duration: 500-600w for 3-5 minutes(depending on your device). If you place your bowl in a Microwave-Safe container(big enough for your bowl) when you cook it, you can cover the possible spill out (might happen) during the cooking. -
They are said to start that scheme in April. When are your travelling to this kingdom? Full details are yet to be confirmed(at this stage, they are only talking about it). So that no one really knows what will it be like. Conclusion: Stop Worrying. And Start Waiting for anything solid comes out. In Thailand, quite a few things won't really happen as they were talked about...

What really makes Thai bureaucrats so keen to deprive own people of their livelihood? Such a business often employs Thai nationals. And shutting down these establishments mean getting Thai workers out of their jobs. Empty Public stance, always causes More Harm Than Good on any occasions. Just like (BKK's) forced relocation proposal of the street food vendors to the designated area.

British Man Arrested in Thailand After 25-Year Visa Overstay

He lived in Bangkok for 13 years, later moving to Chiang Mai for another 12.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even in case of the occasional onboard inspection(during long distance bus trip), the inspectors only see the passport cover. In case of the people from the 1st world, they rarely turn passport pages to check aliens' visa validity. -

Thailand's Visa Policy Not Causing Crime Spike, Experts Say
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Does Thai immigration have access to the international MAL(Migration Alert List)? Or to the ICPO's Wanted Lists? Otherwise, such an online screening has little or no effects to prevent the intrusion of dangerous criminals. Only creating extra useless hassles to both frontline officers and the entrants.
