  1. Were you here on tourist visas/visa exempts? And did you spend any nights outside of Thailand during this time?
  2. I was planning to get an SETV from Laos but did a bit of research and read stories here of people being refused an SETV if they have been in Thailand for more than 90 days in the past 6 months. Is that the current situation?
  3. Not true. If you believe that you're just revealing your own ignorance. He was reading the autocue and said Thighland but then corrected himself five seconds later.
  4. Air pollution is known to trigger heart attacks. You'd hardly go to an air pollution clinic if you suffered one.
  5. Help the rest of us then and stop being so cryptic. Non-Thai, non-western working girls but you don't know their nationality? So how do you know they were non-Thai and non-western? And how did you know they were "working girls"? Did they offer you their services on the bus?
  6. Every pro-democracy and human rights group is telling people to stay away but I'm sure you know more than they do.
  7. I was replying to the guy boasting about his wonderful holiday in Yangon.
  8. Maybe because other westerners have ethics and unlike you don't think it's cool to give money to a government at war with its own people.
  9. You appear to be delusional. You really think the police or anyone else is going to waste time and resources just to get you your 2500 back? It's gone, you're not seeing it again and you have no one to blame but yourself. But if enough people report the same scammer the police might eventually do something. See it as your civic duty.
  10. When you do a bank transfer you can see the account holder's name. Did you keep a record of it? All you can do is report it to the police, learn your lesson and move on.
  11. Oysters contain the perfect balance of zinc and copper and are cheap and plentiful in Thailand. You only need to eat 20 grams to get over 100% of your RDA for both. Just eat 2 or 3 small ones or one large one a day.
  12. Wishful thinking. How many of these illegal immigrants will end up in Rwanda? We're talking about less that 1% in practice. And paying France is an old policy that has never worked in the past. Most of these migrants will end up in the black economy and the Tories know it. Why do Tory supporters never learn? In every election for over half a century they've promised to get tough on immigration and yet immigration is now at an all-time high with the Tories in power.
  13. Not only that but a lot of these "refugees" are from Albania, an EU candidate country that doesn't persecute people but does have thriving criminal organisations which profit from this madness: https://archive.ph/lSXqI Any claim by the Gary Linkekars of this world that this is a human rights issue is just cynical virtue signalling. As for the Tories, they have absolutely no intention of solving this issue. They just cynically play the immigration card at every single election but the truth is they want mass immigration just as much as the left because it keeps wages low and house prices high.
  14. The OP seems to be looking at things from a very western perspective. Monogomy is not expected of men in Thailand, who very often have mia nois or other kinds of "bits on the side". He needs to start looking at it from a Thai perspective and see the mother of his child as one woman in his life but that doesn't mean he can't have another woman in his life who gives him the intellectual stimulation he craves.
  15. Ignore the hysterical comments above. They're not going to help you get better. I was once in exactly your position so went to Bumrungrad. The doctor told me to lie on the exam table and pushed my stomach a few times. He wanted to check this didn't cause agony, which it didn't. He then asked me what I'd been eating and recommended I avoid dairy and return to my normal diet, then told me it should get better by itself, which it did. From your description it seems like the worst of it is over but you just have some lingering symptoms. These should go away after a few more days. It's fine to continue using imodium to control it. Some people take it long term. You really only need to see a doctor if you lose a lot of weight, suffer pain or have blood in your stool.
  16. Don't you mean you wish you had ignored them? They seem to have given you bad advice. Laos is the best option.
  17. Same here. Better value than buying the same products from Lazada.
  18. Not only that but do you really want to give money to the corrupt and murderous Myanmar military that is currently at war with its own people? Why not go to Laos, have a nice Lao sandwich at the border and not feel like your money is being used to buy bullets to kill innocent civilians?
  19. Yes, it seems to be compulsory to declare your undying love for Thailand in these cases.
  20. I've taken overnight VIP buses to and from the south on many occasions and have never had my passport checked. They probably realise illegal migrants are not going to be using this service.
  21. The vast majority of prostitutes in Thailand are single mums who need the money to raise their kids. This law is going to do nothing to help them.
  22. One2car was the most popular site a few years ago. Not sure if it's still number 1. https://www.one2car.com/en/cars-for-sale?min_price=75000&max_price=100000&page_size=26
  23. Ask your landlady to do it online (the fact that the immigration officers didn't mention it suggests she did that last time) and then send you a screenshot. It's something that can be done in 5 minutes with the official app. I think that would turn out to be less hassle for both of you than trying to do it yourself. Just remember she has to do a new one each time you re-enter Thailand.
