Seems like a 'crackdown' on beachwear is all thats needed to absolve the 'Land Of Shame' of this one then

Cool. I'll send them penis photos.

They'll probably send it a uniform

Will there be a Line Game where you gain coins helping the friendly jetski operators, and more rousting foreigners on motocycles, but lose points if your character does anything constructive

A few rude posts have been removed from view. Please keep comments civil and within forum rules.

Oh dear. As the OP I do feel somewhat responsible for this, of course when starting the topic I never envisaged that people might disagree so strongly about this.

Not your fault at all!!! It's a tough topic...

And this is just tilting at cyber windmills

Imagine the real life acrimony at 30000feet

Yup

Defended knees

Smashed in visage

seems these l'ill plastic geegaws just move the potential injury location

The car idea assumes the OP gets the keys and the car as well. Legal ownership is nothing in Thailand without physical ownership.

The whole "show money" thing sounds like a complete crock to me. However, I have never approached a Thai bank for a loan. Still sounds like a crock though.

There is no shortage of loan companies in Thailand.

We might wonder how all those hundreds of thousands of Finance deals on cars work then

'show money' is either being misunderstood or 'lost in translation' between the two parties, as I said above a dormant amount sitting in (or injected into) the girlfriends account will achieve nothing, it needs to be used as 'earnings' (with a legit story behind it eg tax paying small business) and the 'book walked' as Thais say with several months of 'revolving door' deposits/withdrawals. This is no crock its business as usual for Thai loans.

As security, transfer her car to your name, once 500K is returned in agreed period transfer back to her. If she refuses, obvious you will never see the money again

Huh? Nobody sees the possibility that the car could be totally financed and hence just another debt. Taking ownership won't help when they come to repossess it!

Transferring ownership wont be possible if financed (she wont have the papers)

Stay away from it. She has a car, a condo which is fully paid valued at 3 million Baht plus has 500k in the account. She somehow sits on 4.5 million Baht in assets and she should be able to take a mortgage of the property that she paid already with say 50%.

Again, Thai banks want to see throughput in the account. A dormant half mill and assets dont tick all the boxes. She needs 'earnings'.

Your getting myopic over collateral

Bank wants to see EARNINGS

A loan from you will NOT be an immediate answer as she will have to 'walk the book' a few months with it to massage the bank's willingness

But as a general rule dont lend money for medical reasons....

always causes amnesia

I think reporters who put themselves in the middle of a muslim civil war, should see a shrink asap.

The only thing that should be put in the middle of a muslim civil war is a bountiful supply of ammunition

Amazing Thailand. Responding to the picture i say:

Should one want to have a a beach umbrella and a chair to sit in at the beach one should be able to bring ones own.

If one stays at a hotel/resort nearby one could rent one from there.

I don't see why these chairs and umbrellas need to be a fixture on the beach operated by scammers and squatters.

One needs to understand the fiscal 'food chain'

then one would know how the little scamming parasites feed up the ladder the larger scamming parasites and so forth until the lines blur and the largest scamming parasites actually believe that everyone thinks they are bona fide office holders

Now where's that pompous ass Tony and his soi dog shelter when he's needed

Both the products I mention are used in the trade to polish 'plastic' glass on vintage watches...fear not for your few hundred baht PCX screen ;)

Ideally you need 'Polywatch' - this with a cloth and effort will polish out the plastic screen. Its relatively expensive (for a liquid polish) and possibly hard to find in Thailand. But as a second option get a tube of 'wenol' metal polish (prevalent in Thailand any hardware shop) apply the same cloth/effort regime

Offer to pay the first months rent and deposit on a new place away from where you stay or 20,000 cash to just leave. A small amount of cash for a quick end to your nightmare.

 

 

 

This would be I suspect about as effective as giving biscuits to a puppy dog

Seems to me that the Government/Junta is focused on illegal workers and not the semantics of how many days stay or what manner of accommodation used constitutes a bona fide tourist.

 

To that end the only definitive litmus test is to 'follow the money', a de facto tourist will be funded wholly by income from out-with Thailand, an imitation teacher, timeshare scamster, bar renter, etc etc will subsist on monies from within Thailand. The practicalities of readily checking all would appear daunting but insufficient funds from outside the Kingdom would be far more realistic and just barometer than any arbitrary 'quick fix' days in/out maxima

Hungarian Antal Racz was arrested in Hua Hin on suspicion of shooting two persons to death and seriously wounding 14 others, by gunfire and hand grenade is what Gen Wuthi described as a family feud. A Hungarian court sentenced Mr Racz to life imprisonment, but at some point he escaped to Thailand.

 

 

Possibly to pursue a career in politics?

pray tell oh omniscient officialdom how a foreign national can retain his/her passport for your minions' divine perusal while say applying for visas to other countries

Why is it always the Thai way to dream up a solution

 

announce it

 

then with ref to the tsunami of queries and angst

 

'clarify' it

 

Can they never think it though first

 

Or

 

failing that dont pharmacies have any balm for jerking knees?
