I wonder how he ran up such a large tab.

 

 

It's called bill padding.

Seriously, we won't have the full story, but as soon as they sense the turps is having its affect, and you are not keeping, tabs on your, well tab, all kinds of ***** begins to happen.

I regularly bring in things like that. You'll be fine.

putting it bluntly, just another fool and his money to be soon parted.

boooo

The overstays is going to go through the roof

Sounds like <deleted>-weak security system

Let us know how you go getting your money back

Looking for non-African mates.

She should call their bluff (tossing her out) and transfer to a government hospital.

Also 40k...........surely the family could pass the hat around instead of begging online.

They could, but why not raise the money. They may even make a small (or big) profit, when all is done and dusted.

FMD, everyone is now instantly turning to 'GoFundMe' you fools.

Tell him or not tell him. No farrrrken difference. Zilch, nudda.

Took one of these buses way back in 2008 from BKK to Hua Hin.

A few months later, [and many times therefter] a horrific crash involving one of these mini-vans igniting & killing all on board.

Never again, would I have used one of these mini-vans for transportation.

RIP to all involved, just tragic.

I expected to get stamped in today the 18. not the 17. and until the 4. march
 

I just saw it now when at hotel. No worries, but I might had booked a ticket flying out in the morning of 05. March, but tickets was a bit more expensive and longer transit, so I choosed the 02. March instead. 
 

 

18th Jan to the 4th March would also be incorrect. Your calculation works out to 45 nights / 46 days. That would be a 1 day overstay, which in the past they have overlooked for me.

Technically, you are allowed 44 nights / 45 days (currently) or when it reverts back to 30 day, it will be 29 nights/30 days inclusive.

No, it was partly to compensate hospitals, not a get out of jail free card for those without proper insurance or the means to pay for treatment.

and the other part is to fill their slimy pockets up.

Family should pay the bills and take it out her inheritance, why should strangers pay

begs the question exactly, why should strangers pay? Parents/Sister, first line of relatives, closest friends & can't get 50K together?

So easy today for people to abuse the 'Go-Fund' me option.

Nothing to lose, right?

"you can't beat Xiaomi phones."  I have an Xiaomi phone, worst I have ever had. Torch keeps coming on by itself then I have to keep putting it off, camera same, same. There is no excuse for these to keep coming on if I do not put them on.

A tale of 2 different experiences. I have now had 3 versions of the Redmi Note & the have been flawless.

YMMV

Living out their last few years in style. Kudos!

Got the Oppo A52. Piece of <deleted>.

Never touching an Oppo phone again.

There is a feature called "Smart Bar" that is ON by default,  that was crippling the performance on my phone. Once is was disabled, things appear to be much better, but for a budget Android around the same price, you can't beat Xiaomi phones. 

@ Petermik,

how are you finding it? Responsive, snappy???
