Assault a pregnant woman... 500 baht... assault police and I think it might "cost" a bit more... hopefully his Thai visitation privileges, and I one-way back to Putin's place.

I watched the video last night on channel 3 this guy even drunk kick some butt. He even got into it with some customers who tried to control him. He put down one guy and then that guy gets up and wants somemore but cooler heads prevailed and held the overmatch in a hurry you man back as all he was going to get was a whipping. This guy kept 4 cops off him and then the taser arrived lights out. 

Drinking alcohol the bane of all do gooders. No matter how hard they try to stop it people will drink

These people check their brain along with there luggage when they come here

What is the interest rate on the loan China made. Did they also get the concessions along the rail line they ask for as well.

I worked that out when the 2nd article said both bikes were carrying Thai women as pillion passengers.

 

I did however presume the big bike was probably at fault and was probably ridden by the Russian.  Stereotyping, I guess.

Deduction and thinking I think

In preparing our latest annual extension of stay based on marriage, we always submit evidence of 400K+ in the bank to meet the financial requirement.  We never use the monthly income method.  Now we were told, by an agent, that CM IM wants to also know your monthly income amount and sources.  I declined to provide that to the agent and we will see tomorrow if an IO requires this info....never have we ever been asked about my monthly income given we use the 400K+ in the bank method.

Anyone ever been asked to provide monthly income when submitting the 400K+ in the bank method?

 

And another new one; in addition to photos of us in front of the house address and in the living room, now we were told we need two more photos- one in the kitchen and one standing outside the front door...anyone having similar demands?

Give them what they want will make your life easied. The last sentence in requirements for extension of stay states that the immigration officer can ask for what ever evidence he needs to make the final decision

I believe there were other cops turning up , so no escape , if that was ever on their minds .

Nothing was on their minds after a stunt like that. My wife was carrying on about it I told her they do the same stuff in there on country, you do not come to Thailand and get stupid over night even if it seems that way

They have clue.. They see all foreigners as tourists for a few weeks to spend their money here and leave. Long term expats and retirees are allowed here to sit at their home travel around the country and drink coffee, and the latest pay tax.. But they are not allowed to do even some volunteer work which on a retiring visa is impossible because you can't get a workpermit for free work on it.  So sit at home watch TV and go drink coffee and sometimes travel around ... That is retirement in Thailand and they are wondering why there are no people coming.

You need a work permit for everything that a Thai can't do, so no jobs left for long term expats

Did you retire here looking for a job, then you are not a retiree. Thailand is not perfect but immigration has a job to do and it is with foreign visitors. It does no good to complain about precieved lapses in arresting Thais , which they do on a daily basis, as immigration police are tasked with policing the people who arrive here for a visit.

I don't have a source to hand but you can easily google news articles and similar where these stats are quoted.

 

The average earnings in Thailand are very low but the tax exemptions, allowances and deductions are quite high. It is easily possible to register as self employed and sell a product that you make and turn over 1 million baht per year in sales and generating income of 50K per month but paying tax of only 8k per year. The allowances are very generous, which, when combined with creative accounting, makes the tax return  easily avoidable for most. But the Revenue is getting better at detecting tax evasion, especially now that much of the finance picture is electronic.

Be carefull with the creative accounting. My wife worked for a business which paid tax and used thetax deduction. My wife had told the boss to take photos of the promotional parties she had written deductions for, the boss didn't take any photos. The tax man shows up one day and says we do not believe your written deductions, what proof do you have. Well none, we didn't take photo. They were hit with 25,000b fine.

Not sure about that first class. He has probably his house taken away, it wouldn't surprise me if he will be separated from his other possessions including money.

Not his house a renter

Statins are the drug of choice for cholestrol even when people have normal cholestrol. They do have side affects that you may want to avoid. Check out Dr. Sten Ekberg on Utube he has very good info about cholestrol and treating it .

A shocking incident at a shopping mall in the city of Trang on March 5 left a 58 year old Thai woman, Natchanan Kikkham, with severe injuries after a violent altercation with a 60 year old Swiss national, Dieter Matthias Straumann. 25 year old Natchanan’s son, Kritpong Kikkham, is resolute in seeking justice for his mother, who is now hospitalised with a prognosis of at least one month’s recovery.

 

The confrontation began when Natchanan was shopping and accidentally bumped into Straumann, leading to a heated exchange. Straumann, who has been living in Thailand on a retirement visa, reportedly attacked Natchanan without provocation, striking her multiple times and then fleeing the scene. Witnesses report Natchanan threw a water bottle in retaliation, after which Straumann returned, choking and beating her further, even slamming her head against the floor.

 

Straumann was subsequently detained by local police for questioning but remained tight-lipped throughout the interrogation. His recent passport renewal on October 28, 2023, and the upcoming visa expiration on November 14, 2024, indicate his legal status in the country. The police have prepared to charge him with serious assault due to the gravity of Natchanan’s injuries, which include a broken nose and chest trauma, rendering her unable to breathe properly.

Kritpong, who along with relatives has been appealing for fairness at the Trang Hospital, recounted his mother’s harrowing experience, emphasizing the unprovoked nature of the attack. Multiple witnesses within the mall have come forward, ready to testify on Natchanan’s behalf. The police, after a preliminary medical report, are consolidating evidence for Straumann’s potential prosecution.

Straumann’s only response to the police’s announcement of the impending legal action was a terse, “Can not, I will go home. Don’t take photo me.” The relatives of the victim have affirmed their commitment to pursue the case to the fullest extent, underscoring the severity of the assault and the need for justice, reported KhaoSod.

 

Amidst ongoing controversy, Swiss citizen Urs Fehr’s visa status was reviewed by immigration authorities due to his involvement in a Phuket assault case. Concurrently, inquiries were made into his business operations and foundation.

Too much swiss cheese puts holes in their head

The commet by the chief seemed a bit out of touch with reality. He just doesn't want anymore spot lifght on the cops

My wife was listening to the commentary and the Thai LB want 3000 and the filippinods charge 1500. For what ever reason the Filippinos had been giving the Thais a bad time out on the street, which doesn't make sense as they are working ill lehally

IMHO driving over someone at 60kph is attempted murder.

You are more than welcome to suggest an alternative charge if your opinion is different.

The Thai court clearly think it isn't an offense worthy of their time and consideration.

You need a lawyer on your side to push. How many hi-so Thais do you see that get away with murder on a Thai. If you do not push for justice why should the Thais

Having lived in CM for 13 years there are a few chinese tourist around at present but not in the numbers before covid.

Maybe a 21st century computer system connected with all immigration checkpoints and offices could be a start. How is it possible to enter with a false passport? They take their time to check at arrivals as we see the queues so where did it go wrong? And all the other offenders.....Thais are not better than these foreigners

Alot of people think Thailand is running on the paper and pencil of 20 years ago. I loved the story about the female brit who had been black balled from Thailand for a drug issue. She waited for I believe 5 years got a new passport different name and she went directly to the no entry waiting room waiting for her second deportation
