How can you say that overstaying is not a criminal offense? They deprive people of their liberty till they can pay for the ticket home. They also put a stamp in the passport to deny a return. Sure sounds like a criminal offense to me.

Excellent post. I often get a chuckle when some farang claims that the few thousands they contribute to the Thai economy means that "farangs" are important. What is rather astounding though, is that they actually seem to believe that Thai elites should change things to benefit farangs, because we want to live in LOS and marry Thai women. I can only believe that they don't get out much and visit more of the country than where they live. Farangs are so few on the ground in most of Thailand that IMO most Thais have no, or almost no, contact with a farang.

My experience of Washington Square was a single visit during the day. I regret now that I didn't go during the night time, so just another place to add to my list of places I should have gone to. Anyone know what it's like now?

Are you baiting? Did you not read my posts where I said it's not a good idea to own property in LOS? Did I have to spell it out that that that would apply to owning a company as well? IMO for every farang that doesn't lose his shirt by buying/ investing in LOS there must be more that do. IMO any farang that wins in LOS is an exception, not the rule. NB, I'm talking about individuals, not overseas companies or corporations. If you have any facts to prove that investing/ buying property in LOS is a good deal for a MAJORITY of farangs I'll be happy to see them.

Snowballs, melting and in hell come to mind about that. She must know that there is probably zero chance of that, so is taking the P in my opinion.

Happily I'll never see them as I stopped watching mainstream tv long ago. Nothing worth watching and infested with advertising. Only watch Al Jazeera which has minimal advertising and nothing of that sort. Don't miss it an iota.

I don't remember the morning after pill being available in the 60s. I do remember all the guys that had to get married because of pregnancy.

HIV AIDS didn't exist then. Why only start at 18? The ones that probably need them the most would be younger IMO.

Fair enough. Have a nice day.

Yes it is humerous, but don't expect any of them to see the joke as it's on them. Quite a long list of what was going to happen when he lost, including being served with divorce papers, and fleeing to Russia etc. It's a grey day here, but at least that headline cheered me up. I'm now waiting for the next session of congress when the old committees get the order of the boot and Jordan gets to head the one that matters.

I see your personal insult and choose not to respond in kind. Have a nice day.

LOL. I'd rather be longing for the good days to come without being under the Brussels yoke.

LOL. You completely ignored what I said in the post you quoted and posted about something else, ergo deflection.

LOL. You were the one bringing Trump into it, so you must consider him to have something to do with it, else why would you mention him at all?

IMO they can't legally, though a couple of exceptions have been mentioned by other posters. Illegally, Up to you.

If one comprehends what is meant by "if you meet one of the many visa criteria." one would understand it's not normally possible if one does not meet such criteria. My advice, for what it's worth is to wait till one is 50. There is a whole planet full of places to visit in the meantime.

I'm not making an argument about it, but throughout mankind's time on planet Earth men have gone for younger women. IMO that says it's built into our genes. Probably something to do with reproductive ability, as men can make babies till death while women can not.

He did make some excellent films like 12 Monkeys, but seems he was just going through the motions with later efforts. Death Wish was appalling, and the less said about the last Die Hard movie the better. Why did he keep working? Perhaps he liked the attention and the Hollywood razzle dazzle.

True. The Game of Thrones books are far better than the tv series.

Given that a female's sexual desire apparently diminishes with age, only fall in love with an old woman if happy with celibacy.

They are welcome to switch the machine off. I have nothing to want to hang around for.

Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way

Fair enough. In that case I'd make it a day when I was staying in Dynasty Inn almost next door to Nana Plaza in 1996. It would be the same day, but with so many cute girls in Bkk no day would end up with the same one ( unless I really liked her ). With a flight, I could even end up going to sleep on Samui ( back then Samui was great ).

After reading that a couple of times I have no idea as to whom you are accusing of hatred. Can you clarify please?

Amount is irrelevant. She presumably knew it was illegal when she took it in.
