Phuket taxi driver tussle turns streets into a brawl zone (video)
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Those from the society without much daily freedom seem to be more aggressive and rude when they are in Thailand. And target the local as the outlet. That is why they often reach flash point very easily. -

Padlock on his ear? Did he try to be the first of Long Ear Tribe for attention? Was he inspired by the Long Neck people( tourist attraction for decades in the north of Thailand)? -

Actually, during WW2, Adolph Hitler approached Muslim states to use them as the new allies. Even hired them as the SS soldiers. -
Thaksin's New Tax Plan Targets Poverty in Thailand
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A new source of additional wealth to the Already Super Rich 0.1%? Due to the total lack of transparency in this kingdom, any increased tax revenue will straightly get into someone's pocket. If they are serious, should tax those who dominate the most of the riches in this country first. But Thaksin and his associates never do that; always try to look themselves the Friend of the Poor at Someone Else's Expense. Perfect example was the EGAT deregulation(only hitting the not-so-rich Thai middle income earners) during Thaksin administration before his expulsion by military coup. -
Foreign Mafia Intimidates Locals in Pattaya

Like Europeans, right? Can you tell me what they did from Australia to Canada -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now in Japan(supposedly the one of the most homogenic society in the world), too. In the case of Kurds from Turkey. They first arrive as Tourists(90-day visa waivers with Turkish passport). When their stay permit is about to expire, they start to say Theya are Refugee even when they are not really facing any physical/social oppression; they can visit Turkish embassy for the absentee vote at election time. They openly declare They Won't Observe Local Laws. And what they do(falsely claiming refugee status, committing crimes; unlicensed driving and causing accidents, doing sexual harassment to the local women, paralyzing the public hospital with the mass confrontation among themselves). -
Westernization of y the diet(increased consumption of animal fat) and lack of exercise(Thais often hate to walk even short distance). In recent years, child obesity has also been becoming a social problem. Since 2008, public schools banned the sale of snack food in their premises. In old time during which Thais exercised their traditional diet, very few fat people were around.

How about Mothballs and diluted vinegar in a trigger spray? First, find out their Way-In. Then baste mothball to that point of entry and the area around it. When you sight mass of them already in their living space, give them a blow with the vinegar spray. It kills them instantly. I have tried them before and they always work.

Tobacco sellers are to display Anti-Smoking Poster. Just like a diner with the negative words on their signboard. -
Russian Man Arrested for Carrying Fake Euros in Chonburi
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The staffer, suspecting foul play, used a chemical pen to verify the banknote's authenticity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did not know some money changers use Chemical Pen to check if the foreign notes are genuine. Even though they started to use Money Checker for that purpose in recent years. Is Poo-tin trying to circulate fake money to upset the western economy, just like NAZI did to USD and GBP during WW2? Mass counterfeit is often the state enterprises by Dictatorial regimes; N/Korea has been doing it for ages. PRC also produces and sells Fake UK Postal Stamps. Fake UK stamps blamed on Chinese-made counterfeits (bbc.com) China ‘flooding Britain with counterfeit Royal Mail stamps’ (yahoo.com) China behind flood of fake stamps plaguing Britain (telegraph.co.uk) -

This case is also covered by Bangkok Post(Aug.24). Bangkok Post - Ride-hailing motorcyclist held for attempted rape And in the BKK Post article, the suspect admitted the attempted rape allegation. -
I have seen quite a few Chinese tourists with 20-30kg suitcases who chose to walk 2-3 miles to the airport to save the cost of Songthaew ride(B40- from Chiang Mai Old City). So when they have scooter suitcase, some of them would not hesitate to use it as the meaning of transport to skip the cost of bus ride.

Lao has no Retirement Visa unlike some other ASEAN nations. So resort to the One Month Tourist Visa. And extend it after your entry. 20,000 Lao kip (LAK) per day with an additional 30,000 LAK document fee. The total cost for a 30-day extension is currently 630,000 LAK (approximately $68). Unless you hold visa of any other kinds that allow you stay longer than 3months, you need to leave the country once(by land or air). And re-enter(the same starts again; applying for 1month visa + its extension). You can do it @ Lao Embassy/border immigration office. Cost of their tourist visa varies depending on your nationality.
