Did he make Bail?

A small price to pay for propping the economy up, they should be proud it's not in the 1000's.

I like it cool and sleep in 20C, you get what you pay for.

Correct, to suggest cold like symptoms are caused by low level radiation or any level for that matter is complete nonsense.

These are not the symptoms of radiation exposure, not at all in any way, ever.

Too much truth getting out lately?

These are not the symptoms of exposure to Caesium-137, look it up. These are the symptoms of a cold or covid ????

No it's not, my most recent electric bill was about 10,500 Baht, mostly due to my constant AirCon usage. I use the AC because I like it. Always have, always will.

I hope they've got plenty of cash with them and a huge amount of insurance if they want any treatment because I doubt the drivers arrangements will cover much at all.

Where is the money?

There goes another 100m Baht ????

So the land deparment in Hua Hin is corrupt?

I notice it was reported elsewhere that the guy involved had multiple 'bars' and the authorities were quick to move in and make sure the leases are cancelled and they were all closed down, etc. Very thorough work. They had done their homework here and likely had a full list of all his assets before he suddenly decided out of nowhere to become a sex fiend and become a 'child exploiter'. What we're seeing here is the transfer of investments and wealth from some Swiss guy who has now done a runner to someone else. I can't wait to find out who the someone else is, who benefits from this transaction the most?

I always make an effort to avoid any wild animals.

It wasn't too late, the exit happened at just the right time to save their asses from a murderous country wide rebellion.

Why don't they mention the age of the children?

Then why do anything?

Annoying an official who works for the government, could be a street cleaner I guess. Sounds like a 'catch all' for someone who is not cooperating (read that as boot licking) any glorious Thai official. Like the tourist who told Anutin he didn't want his stinking mask - red card - out!

Why should he convince you? I suggest doing your own due dilligence otherwise do you really know what you're getting into? That way if it fails, which it might then you only have yourself to blame.

Are they? Like what? There is no list. Annoying a waiter? Is that on the list?

It's arbitrary extra judicial summary punishment. This will backfire in a massive way and make Thailand look worse than a third world backwater. If they start giving out these ridiculous 'cards' for not reporting your address when the law clearly states the hotel should do this then it's a much, much worse situation. Why are they blaming foreigners for Thais who break the law?

Yup

Who cares? What is it to you? Nobody gives a shi.....

The headline got my attention 'EU negotiates free trade agreement with Thailand' - reads lke they have completed it but no, they're just starting negotiations. Here's how I think it will proceed : The list of demands which will be many and varied with plenty of them political in nature and will be unrelated to trade but restrictions on what Thailand can and can't do both at home and internationally will be delivered. Thailand will tell them where to stick their list of demands and that will be the end of it for another 10 years.

The individual visas expire after 5 years or when your passport expires - whichever is nearest. So make sure you have at least 5 years left on your passport before getting any TE visa inserted because they only way you're getting another 5 year visa when it expires is at the airport on the way into the country or by going in person to Chaeng Wattana. You don't need to go to Thailand at all, if the current visa expires while you're out of the country you can arrange for a new one to be inserted on arrival at the airport. You need to make an advance reservation for this or you won't get it by just turning up unannounced and it will be a pain because you will then need to go to Chaeng Wattana for a separate visa insertion. Planning ahead you can easily avoid the above issues. For the other guy who was told there is a paperwork requirement and he needs to get in touch with Thailand Elite to renew - this was the case during the covid pandemic period, suddenly out of nowhere you needed to have a special authorisation letter from Thailand Elite but they told me last Novemeber that this is no longer needed when I did my annual extension, however then then sent me a letter anyway which was a little odd but I printed it out and took it with me anyway. Sounds like the immigration office were not aware of recent changes which were changed again and again over the last few years when it comes to TE.
