The way this is calculated can be a bit dodgy. You can be a sex worker and never have sex, say you work as a dancer in a topless joint you will be considered a sex worker even if you never go with a customer,

What is going on with under 50s in the West coming to Thailand? They have hair trigger anger problems seems to me. They're even worse back in their home countries, where people explode into rage and murder over the slightest things. So glad I'm here, instead of there.

Roid rage

He comes from a democratic country where there is freedom of expression. How can he know that things are different here? He hasn't been here long enough for that. But you are right. I have been enjoying the country and my family for 15 years. Absorb the positive and fade out the negative. So you can live perfectly here.

How can he know Thailand is different, I believe it is called research. Plenty of sources out there that will give you the dos and the do nots, Do we really need another Utube blogger

Sorry he isn't a tourist, he is working here but needs the money from Utube

I don't know if the management has the owner's names. But I am pretty sure sometimes the management does not have any contact details from owners. Bad management, bad records, new management, records get lost, people don't communicate, ...

Sometimes the owners live overseas or the property is in Pats the owner is in Bangkok

Do you think that expats are the only one that are ordering item from overseas, i am sure that the expat community is a very small percentage of orders that are being shipped from oversea. 

 

I'm sure there are many Thais ordering items from online platforms that are being shipped from oversea which will be including in the new tax grab 

 

Maybe the online platform can have the tax added in the final price, Amazon do this and you know the tax amount on check out... 

 

 

My wife always has some box of crap coming  to the house in one of those pickup yes from China, looks ok until it isn't. This is a goos move on Thailands part, now they can go to the shop look directly at what they are buying.

I ride a bike everyday in CM. I also drive a car in CM and yes if I hit a guy on a scooter I will check my car first as most likely he cut me off, going wrong way to traffic, no drivers licenses, speeding, pulls into traffic without looking and pulls into traffic expecting me to mover over for him or to yield by slowing down. Sorry I have no sympathy for Thai drivers who ignore safty rules and regs.

It's an insane policy. Getting an Australian pension overseas is also insane. Apart from this once again this AI article lacks any editing demonstated in the subheading.

It would seem all foreigners no matter what nationality are "beginning to feel a financial strain due to the UK government's pension freeze policy." 

what,alot of the Brits made their plans based on 70 Bhat to the pound. I remember the brits giving Americans a bad time because our rate had dropped to below 35 hehehehe then the shoe got put on the other foot. OO all the planning and figureing how to get a bit more exchanged. O well everthing has a cycle US dollar now above 36. Yes things cost more but still cheaper than the US all I have to say

What ever you are willin to pay. 150 was standard beore covid

This is an arrogant fool, who was booted out of immigration, due to his constant ranting about the evil nature of foreigners. He had no business being appointed to a high position within the RTP. Maybe a janitor, or a street cop. Maybe. 

 

His reputation as a crime fighter is hogwash, and just great PR on his part. 

 

He is guilty by association. Anyone in that position has to be corrupt. The RTP is the greatest pyramid scheme in Thailand. 

 

Where is he hiding the billions of baht? 

LOng term stayers in Chiang Mai have a different look on Big Joke. If you wanted to get an extension of stay show up at 4am to cue up maybe you would get one and a few other things going on. Big Joke shows up and does a tour and actually talked to afew people standing in line. He leaves town and a few days later the hammer falls immigration will be open from 0600 till the days business is complete all people standing in line will be waited on. His actual leadership turned the immigration office in CM around. It took them awhile to get all the backlogged business taken care of and the officers were not happy working 12 hour days but his action turned CM immigration around

A Belgian retiree was gravely injured in an unprovoked attack in Hua Hin over a week ago, according to officials and witnesses.

 

The victim, identified as 63-year-old Jan from Riemst, in the province of Limburg, remains in a coma following the assault, Belgian news site VRT NWS reported.

 

The incident has not been reported in Thai or English language news until now.

 

The victim, identified as Jan, was attacked from behind while sitting on a sidewalk by a German national who is known to have been living in Hua Hin for some time and is associated with a local martial arts club.

 

The incident, captured on CCTV, shows the assailant approaching Jan unsuspectedly before violently assaulting him, resulting in severe head injuries.

 

According to medical professionals in Thailand, Jan underwent a 13-hour surgery to address multiple skull fractures and is currently in a coma with an uncertain prognosis.

Interestingly the meniscus has just freed itself from the joint and it's back to normal, now i have time I'll pursue with Queen Sirikit, i already have an appointment, but whole process will take months most likely

Do your research you want the Dr. not the hospital. Drs. usually work in several hospitals. When I was researching my knee replacement you want some one on your knee who does a lot of the surgery you may need my knee Dr. in Thailand said he did 30 to 40 knee replacements a month. You do not want someone on your knee who has only done a few surgerys at least 10 amonth

Some hotels won't let you check in with just Thai driver license now, 'policy is for passport' 

What exactly is required of them in order to report T.M. 30? the passport number on driving license might not be current is understandable

 

for hotels that is this strict about reporting I doubt pink ID card would be acceptable too, it's not like they can put you down as a Thai person checking in

This has been going on for a couple of years. the bank started requiring passport now before I show drivers licenses

How did he do it, how did he do it, remember that Great Britian with the various schemes of the Tories has become a 3 rd world country in those 27 years. That would include the foreign service everything privatised to make someone a millionaire

It’s always been going on, just it’s flavor of the month to highlight it at the moment.

 

Plenty of crap going on with Thai people as well, but foreigners behaving badly is what’s generating click atm.

 

might change in a while in terms of reporting, will continue in terms of reality

You read it here because this is were you read

Phuket, again. Foreigner, again. There really must be something in the air down there. There's been so many reports of foreigners going bonkers on Phuket!

It is the water

Another drunk who cannot hold his booze. With the prices these days a 1000b bill is not hard to run up real quick

More than likely plenty of PTT stations along the route to stop at for a 7-11, amazon, KFC , and Thai food no need to go looking for a place to eat as PTT has everything to provide the driver. When I was touring around on my scooter i would always stop at a PTT station best facilities usually clean toilets and handicap if needed. The only time none were around would be really off the beaten path.

You got a ticket yet do you have seat selectionif so stop worrying and enjoy the flight. The dreamliner is suppose to be more comfortable than airplane built before it. The dreamliner has been in operation before covid.

To bad the other bike wasn't knocked into shape before the trip. Nice ride, never made it that far south only as far as HuaHin on my PCX finally parked it when to much problem with leg. I was riding around Surin a few years back and noticed a young guy following me. Pulled into Hotel parking and he came in behind me. The only thing out of his mouth was did you ride all the way from Chiang Mai to Suring and I said sure did, give it a try someday. He took off after giving me his Phone number if I had any problems. Nice kid.

Every year it is the same story, a few bad apples cause damage to the tourist who comes in spends his or her money and leaves on time with a good memory of their trip but a few bad apples always get the lions share of the story
