  1. What can you do? A family needs to travel, can't afford a car, and I'm unsure about the cost of other modes of transportation. If I had a family of four and little money, I'd find a carpool or bus or something. never, ever, ever motorbike. There's no way. A different school, whatever...anything but a motorbike. When an acquaintance dies from a motorbike accident almost every year (almost 10 now in a decade), it's pretty clear. I've walked a few km many times instead of taking a ride on a motorbike. if i didn't want to walk, Grab. Almost everyone here knows it's the most dangerous in the world.....we have a choice. most here don't. hope someone comes up with a solution
  2. I have been blessed, and I like to help our hosts. I give them 1000 baht and they fix it. I can't carry small bills around
  3. First, you try to scam everyone in your own country. Then other countries. Then Thailand. I always look for a Russian doctor in Thailand. I'm learning Thai from someone from Japan, in Bangkok. I'm getting financial counseling from a Ukranian backpacker. Common-sense people.
  4. Totally normal. If we changed some words, BREVARD SHERIFF WAYNE IVEY TO POTENTIAL RIOTERS: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our CHILDREN, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at. Because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We're not gonna play." Anyone dumb enough to want to hurt and possibly kill someone has put their life at risk. firebomb, gun... yea, FL, make sure they know this isn't a game.
  5. Get the illegals out. just like we all laugh and laugh when an overstayer gets booted. Good riddance, we don't care how much they or their family suffer. We want them out. Same with America. In illegally, out. If you can prove you are anywhere legally, then I wish you well. Yes, some innocent suffer. That's sad. Life isn't perfect. These raids are decades coming. If Trump deports Thais, we are doomed here. We all know that's not a 0% possibility.
  6. International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children Updated April 2018 13 ICMEC Education Portal Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act B.E. 2539 (1996) Sec. 8 Any person who, in order to gratify his or her sexual desire or that of another person, has sexual intercourse or acts otherwise against a person over fifteen but not over eighteen years of age in a prostitution establishment, with or without his or her consent, shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of one to three years and to a fine of twenty thousand to sixty thousand Baht. If the offence under paragraph one is committed in relation to a child not over fifteen years of age, the offender shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of two to six years and to a fine of forty thousand to one hundred twenty thousand Baht. If the act under paragraph one is committed in relation to one's own spouse, and not to gratify the sexual desire of another person, the offender is not guilty. Note If holding an American passport, you will also be tried in American court if the girl was under 18, anywhere in the world
  7. beard, those eyes...yea, he smokes Brits come to LOS to dream of how to get super rich. Rich beyond their wildest dreams!!!!! No more backpacking, live your days on a beach drinking mango shakes. All you have to do is get passed one of the most sophisticated drug catching systems, designed by 10,000 PhD's and software worth over 10 zillion dollars. should be easy, Mate. Let's give it a go......for my mum.
  8. Would you invite The Devil to your church? Ask Hitler to come to a synagogue? Let a bank robber be a teller at your bank? Allow a pedophile to babysit? Bring a T-Rex over to play with your dog? Get a rapid tiger as a pet? These are all the most ridiculous questions the world has ever read........ until yours.
  9. The 60-year-old, who has not been identified, entered the kingdom in early 2000 on a tourist visa and never left, evading previous police checks by claiming to be in the process of extending his visa. He was finally caught in the northern province of Chiang Mai on Monday during a crackdown by immigration officials on overstaying foreigners -- more than 9,000 days after arriving on a 30-day visa.
  10. Yes, Super Bowl host cities generally benefit economically from hosting the event. Research from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates that the economic impact of last year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas was $1 billion.
  11. not all crimes are the same. I think this one would go up the ladder much faster. upscale, check.. money involved, check... I do think we all agree the system CAN work, but ....... once I met a very angry couple, money stolen, video proved it was the cleaning staff, she fled back to Myanmar, many trips to police station, they still left very upset. hotel didn't get in trouble. who knows what really happened. gotta get that money back before it's spent. lol
  12. I agree, BUT the farang will lose face. lol Police come, everyone takes pictures, everyone talks, farang dragged out....pointed at, arrested, nobody says overstay so nobody knows... visitors stop coming. as crazy as my answer is, I can see the police note the farang's presence and maybe arrest him once off hotel property. seems like we would see these stories.....we don't. so......
  13. Maybe already answered. I just got a fresh stamp this week, so I'm OK. Let's say I'm 0n overstay. No clue if it goes into some centralized computer system, but I'm pretty sure it does. OK. Now, no clue if this information goes to every province. OK, now I travel and stay in a nice hotel. I say "nice" because let's say 100% of the time they photocopy my passport and bring it to the police station. Or do something online. TM30, whatever, something. Some do photocopy my stamp, some don't. some really do nothing. Let's say they follow the law. I'm guessing that the police/immigration will come and arrest me. correct? I'm just surprised I've never seen this before. Maybe the same with trains, bus station, etc....
  14. A parent's nightmare. Boys. Yaba Girls. Raped. Both, Pattaya. Both, schooling inadequate Boys, Gambliing Girls, kids Both, motorcycle crash Both, debt scary stuff out there.
  15. I owned a restaurant for one day and then retired. steak, 1 cent. pizza, 1 cent everything, 1 cent. only credit cards. sold out. small print on every bill. VAT, plus the mandatory $1000 tip and once signed, you agree to buy 10 more of the same every day until perpetuity. hidden fees for the win.
