Google man..http://www.bangkokconcerts.org/

a good place to check when you're walking through a mall is a store that sells guitars and other musical instraments.

Or you can be assured that there will be a killer concert on the days i go back to work. It never fails.

I will post my work schedule so you can plan ahead.

My wife has none and we were together 6 months before she found out that half my body is covered. The first time she saw it she said that she could not stay in a relationship with me and called everything off. She called a couple of days later to tell me she still loved me but made me swear not to go further. I think she loves her low class husband

I am going to take a trip with my inlaws to Tarutao. Best places to stay, Favorite Resturants, and things to do? Is it like samui and not safe to walk on the beach after dark? Yada yada yada......

Why would an staff of the shop put a sigarettes pack in his bag?

What does he has to gain with this, Nothing i think.

I think that there is more to this story like many times.

500 baht, threats from the police, extortion, black mail.........

In order to stay on topic I want to say that I heard that even failing one of their piss test raids results in 30 days in jail. About $4,000 USD to get out and you must have a one way ticket out of the country never too return before they will release you. Even if you just come from Amsterdam and can prove it, it is still in your system. So brother my advice is that if you are going to get high stay out of the bars at night until it is out of you system. But everyone reading this should understand, This is If you are Caucasian!

I have a couple of Nigerian buddies who live in BKK that have told me that they on the other hand, have a much different experience when they get caught. They told me that they just get there “1 year tourist visa revoked and have to go home and get another one with no problem” They go home visit their family and are back in Thailand in under 30 days. One told me he got busted last year and he did not even get his dual citizenship revoked. I thought he was mistaken until he pulled his Thai passport out of his pocket and showed it to me.

Now for the off topics remarks for all the little brainwashed girls who say such things as” Don't do drugs in Thailand! , "recreational quantity" !! I think it's just "personal abuse quantity", the illegal drug is the pure substance, Hello, the drugs are illegal so do not use them, I dont know Im not into it and wouldn't risk deportation for 1 night of fun, and my personal favorite Messing with Drugs of any sort on Thailand is Lethal, better to stay well clear.”

I say this, PROSTITUTION IS ALSO ILLEGAL IN THAILAND SO STAY OUT OF THE BARS! Far more lives are hurt by white slavery, the spread of venereal diseases, and alcohol than by illicit drugs.

BUYING BLACK MARKET GOODS IS ILLEGAL IN THAILAND SO STAY OUT OF THE MALLS! These products are made by children who are not offered the choice of an education and who are made slaves and indentured servants. How do you know the mafia is not using the profits to buy more drugs?

Pattaya IS about sex and drugs, that`s why people go there.

Why fight it?

Legalize it! Someone who want´s to have sex and take drugs do it anyway.

And when it is legal less kids will take it because it`s not that interesting anymore because it´s legal.

Simple.

Legalizing drugs would cause chaos. Can you imagine the advertisements and the BTS lcd monitor??

Hi kids, it's YABA-MAN~~ in 3 new fruit flavors. Also don't forget to cut out "HEROINE points" on the back of the box for your free needle kit! Lord have mercy

IDIOT your imagination and fears about getting high is the only reason children try drugs in the first place. After hearing from people like you they look at it like sex. Something only adults are supposed to do so it must be fun sound familiar? All they have to do is get high one time to see that people against it have no idea what the hel_l they're talking about and figure that they only tell them about addiction as a scare tactic. So if your predictions were correct then where are the shots of whiskey in three fruity flavors and cigarette points marketed to the kiddies? You’re only repeating ignorant propaganda from the 1930s about alcohol. If your visions of the evil drugs users trying to turn children to the dark side for their video game and soda pop money are correct then why aren’t “the children” hiding liquor and cigarettes in there lunch boxes. Why are there not gangs of violent adolescence making huge profits by selling and pushing booze to minors above market value? Stop with the,” your protecting the children through prohibition crap.” You think all this money created by the drug “trade” is produced from change out of the pockets of children? If the current excepted theology of drug prohibition is correct than we should outlaw all religion because all extremist and terrorist kill over religious beliefs. Imprison everyone for pre and extra marital sex to control HIV. If all you freaks were as passionate about pedophilia and white slavery as you were about chasing drug users around in circles like Benny Hill, the world would be a much better place.

I will agree with you on one thing though. Legalizing drugs is absolutely ridicules. Does a vagina have to be legalized before I can have sex? Does caffeine have to be legalized before I can drink a cup of coffee? What should be, "illegal" and appropriate for a democratic government to ban is for a conglomerate to distribute, package, market, or sell anything people consume for recreational proposes but for no reason is ever proscribed by a physician. Thus I could not by cigarettes but I could grow my own or buy from a local farmer or vendor without the dialectics, ammoniums, and nicoteen doping. I could not buy alcohol in a store but I could make my own wine or go to a pub that made there own beer and wiskey. Drugs packaged in measured amounts as if for distrobution, Ok jail. Posession and consumption for personal use, None of your god dam business anyway. Interest in drugs would be as novelty and values would plummet putting all this money from corporations and mafia to local farmers and communities. All of the money that is made Illegally today would not go to countries where it was easier to produce in mass quantities but would be spent in the places they were being consumed. Yes a meth lab might pop up in the woods but the guy making it would not be selling across state lines or making such massive amounts. Because of a flodded market. So he could be easier to identify and arrested for other things as if someone were harmed by something he made. A much better starting point than we have today for reaching some resolve on both sides of the fence. Oh, but then it would be up to everyone to teach thier own children about drugs and their fault if they became addics. Darwin have mercy.

If I were him, I would really appriciate the heads up.....

I'm thinking of going to Perth later in the year, (will be the start of their summer) Lovely city and will be a nice holiday break.

Can get cheapish flights with Air Asia or Tiger Airways.

I've got a British passport, i am single, under 50 years old, no children (that i know of)

Heard they are hassle free for a Non-O Multi Entry Visa's.

Can anyone confirm or tell me different?

Boycie

Perth sounds great. Does anyone out here know how difficult it would be for me to bring my Thai wife with me.

Rubbish indeed, Op sounds like someone trying to get us to say something bad about Muslims. But you guys know me... How can i resist

Call the moderators!

I think you two are perfect for each other. But do you actually believe that your woman tells you to go have fun with other woman but is not lifting her mini skirt in the clubs she is running around in while your not there? Oh, cursed are the feeble. Some advice, if you love her, want to have healthy productive lives together and the two of you must pretend to have some religious faith to keep your demons from driving you to insanity. Then you should both convert to Buddhism. At least you won’t be living your lives as hypocrites and blaspheming god on a daily basis. The Buddhists could also help both of you with your disillusionments that religion is about rules stealing your personal liberty rather than finding a path through life to God. Neither of you have a clue to the religions that you blindly follow without any understanding of them at all. Is life more erotic for you guys if you run around disobeying daddy? She follows a religion that would have her publicly executed for every description of her you gave to us. And why would you call yourself a Christian little brother? Your not or you would at least know a little something about the religion. Such as, you’re living in sin having premarital sex and are without repent. Thus, you cannot belong to any Christian church according to them and are not welcome in the house of God. You’ve cursed yourself and don’t even realize it. By claiming to be a Christian you claim to know God but in the same breath tell us you sin as if condoned by your faith. No shame for disobeying god himself who you claim by your faith to be the only people that will set foot in his kingdom. You said you don’t believe in her God? If you were Christian you would know that Muslims and Christians worship the same God they just follow different prophets. Adam, Eve, Mary and even Jesus Christ himself are all written into the Quran. (Quran 5:75),(5:110),(19:29-30),.. Both believe their religion should run the governments, collect Gods penance, and punish your flesh for straying from their interpretation of his law. That is if they really had things their way. Oh, a match made in heaven no doubt. Dam son, I am a Satanist and know more than you do about the religion that you think you belong to. Thanks dude. He he he he. Its people all over the world like you that open the gates wide. You think you can just become a Muslim? You’re not even a Christian fool. hel_l son, even my Lord condemns you,” Cursed are the feeble.”

Whats the official line on how long the 400,000 has to be in my Thai bank account ?

I've seen talk of two months but suspect three would be safer.

The clocks ticking and I'd hate to send the money and miss the three months by a couple of days and get rejected.

It doesnt have to be a thai bank account. Go to Singapore or Bali with your wife present and more than likely, if you let her do the talking they wont ask you for anything but a mairrage certificate and a passport. This was my experience anyway.

S A L T !

you city boys crack me up.

A snail or slug's body is covered by a membrain that absorbs moisture like desecant. Salt burns through them like sulfuric acid. put lines across their paths and sprinkle it on surfaces around your plants. If you dont believe me go outside and put a couple of grains on one's back.

I have had the same thing under my arm and across my chest for the past three days. Medical doctors cannot help you. Sounds like you have a pinched nerve. If it persists after a good stretch i would go see a chiropractor and take a good look at your mattress and bed. Never let the "message people" crack your neck. Sounds like you have the same problems as me. Awkward sleeping positions and stress.

Over use of weed causes mental problems. One guy I know gets paranoid on it. He knows it's a problem but he can't give it up.

If it were not illegal what would he be paranoid about?

Okay Guys, I went to Kasakorn on Sukumviet yesterday. If I told you all that it took 5 minuets that might be pushing it. Maybe it was the time of day that I went but I got a number and they called me right in. He spoke not a single word of English and it didn’t seem to matter anyway. Passport, local address, cell phone number, 500 baht, and sign everywhere he put an X. No questions or small talk what so ever. I was not dressed any way in particular but only jeans and a tucked in collard shirt. He did make a copy of my Thai driver’s license with my passport but I don’t think it would have mattered if I had it or not. I only pulled it out because I thought it had my address on it. I gave him my wife’s business card and he used that address without asking me a word or batting an eye. I got there around 11am and by 12 I was already half pissed across the street at the Bourbon Street Bar slamming down Coronas.

Once again, Thanks for everyones help.

JANG PANG!

The OP has promised to get back to us. He seems now to have two options. Bangkok Bank head office which will work and Kbank @ Sukh Soi 33, which additionally offers internet access.

I am interested in the outcome.

I will let everyone know around the 25th. Thanks guys, its always a pleasure.

Use Rat bait! Rats don't die in the house when they eat rat bait. The rat bait makes them hemorrhage minutes after drinking water. They run to a water source outside the house because it makes them extremely thirsty after they eat it. This is where they will die. If you call an exterminator thats exactly what he is going to do, put out rat bait. Maybe a better brand that last longer than what you would by over the counter. Maybe worth it but you better hurry. Only one female will kick out 6-8 pinkies in month. 3 to 4 times a year. I doubt you only have one. So if they have been thier 6 months you probably have about 16 and what your hearing is the young ones playing.

Thanks gungadin!

Internet access is definately the most important factor.

Thanks for all the feed back guys. I can only imagine how much time I would waste running around Bangkok like a chicken with its head cut off if I did not have all of you to fall back on for advice. I could never express enough gratitude to you all no matter what the response. My non “O” has expired so I will be trying to open a bank account on a tourist visa, US passport, and Thai drivers license. My time is very limited at home so I don’t want to spend it traveling to get another non O visa only making the time fly faster than it already will. My personal reason for wanting to open the account is simple to us but unfortunately maybe not so valid for them. That is, for any future visa of any sort that I might try to obtain I will have to show one of two things. A: Employment and B: Money in a Thai bank account. The only time I will need to stay home for more than 30 days would be because I was unemployed and waiting for a new job to pop up. My current job in Afghanistan is not going to last forever. I don’t want to be in the position of trying to get another non “O,” having no job and only money in a US bank. Immigration policies are changing every year but never to our benefit. It’s not far fetched to think that I might run into that one officer who says that money in a foreign account doest count or that this won’t become more difficult if not an enforced requirement tomorrow. Of course, thanks to all of you I realize that I better be wearing a tie, have my wife present, and a better reason ready for them than this. Of the top of my head I will probably tell them it is for paying utilities and setting up a direct deposit from my employer. “COMMENTS ABOUT THIS WELCOMED!” Don’t worry about off topic comments as some times we learn something from them as well. Kasikorn at Ramkhamheang is sounding pretty good to me from the current post being given.

I have heard from many people that claim to have opened a bank account with no more than a passport. I have heard the passport and a letter from the embassy. I got denied at Siam Commercial Bank in the mall with a current non O visa, a letter of employment (not in thailand), Thai drivers license, a letter from the embassy, and my wife standing there with her account book from that bank. I have come to the conclusion that it is only the branch you go to as to weather they will give you an account or not. It has been about 2 years since I tried last. I am coming home in a couple of weeks and want to try again. Can everyone who has a bank account in BKK please leave me some info so I can make a list of places to try.

1) Branch name and location that let you open the account.

2) What documentation you had to provide to open the account.

Thanks guys,

Bernie

Get ready to pay 50% of what you tell them the stuff is worth. So lie your ass off after all the stuff is used. No matter what i send my wife they show up and take 50%. If you think this is bad just wait until you try to mail the stuff back out. Unless you plan to die here your better off leaving the stuff back home.

I think know we can officially change thier nick names from the yellow shirts and red shirts to the crips and the bloods. What a bunch of monkeys.

Has anyone else had an experience like this?
