Let's try to protest that we have the right to stay in Thailand illegally - and see what happens. Ha.

Or his 90-day report.

If not wanting to have your once great country destroyed by Third World riff-raff brought in to deliberately destroy your country makes one a racist, then I'm a racist too.

How could and why would a bank restrict the amount of money that you transfer INTO your account? And what would happen if you transferred an amount that would exceed their limit? Would they just send the money back to your foreign bank account? It really doesn't make sense that a bank would restrict inward remittances. Transfers OUT of Thailand, possibly. But inward transfers, why and how?

Do they REALLY keep statistics on phone thefts in Vietnam? My phone was stolen in Ho Chi Minh City a few years ago, and all three of the police stations I visited wouldn't allow me to file a report. They even accused me of trying to file a fake report for the purpose of committing insurance fraud, but I didn't have any insurance on it.

Exactly. If someone brings in income during the tax-free years, then suddenly stops bringing in income when the tax is reinstituted, it's going to be difficult to claim after that that they don't have any overseas income - which they will then try to tax.

I'm pretty sure that getting water from one of those (dirty) machines for several years was the cause of my bladder stones a decade ago. Now I get my water delivered every week or two from Sprinkle.

Don't they read the news? Is it really worth the risk?

In Vietnam, every Grab motorcycle taxi driver carries an extra helmet for their passengers. That's the right way to do it. But I can't see them doing that here in Thailand. And it would be impractical for occasional passengers to always have a helmet with them just in case they might decide to take a Grab bike.

Hamas might have wanted Kamala to win, but the Israelis wanted Trump to win - and they're the ones who decide US "elections".

This is not news. News would be when a ladyboy DOESN'T pick someone's pocket.

His plan was to win the jackpot, then pay the victim back with his winnings. But the police intervened just as he was about to win, so it's their fault.

And did you get vaccinated again? Do you really think that the human body evolved to NEED to have poison injected into it?

So not only do they smell bad, now they're committing armed robberies.

I would like to recommend that YOU get vaccinated again. I am happy to remain unvaccinated.

Wait, so people don't like overpriced, lackluster food? Who would have expected that?

If 10,000 baht would change your life, you have big problems. Not to mention what this payout would do to Thailand's fiscal situation, or the consequences of being roped into a digital currency dystopia in exchange for such a pittance.

I think you nailed it. There would be no other reason to do something so stupid. Somebody wanted to keep the bail money - and didn't care that a murderer was allowed to escape. And speaking of stupid, how stupid can a murderer be to get involved in drug parties while he is on the run from a murder charge? If it had been me, I would have gone out of my way to spend the rest of my life keeping a low profile.

To the OP: She is now presenting the bill for all of the good times that you already had together. It's known as "playing the long game" - not asking for money at the beginning to make you think that the relationship is genuine, as that enables her to ask for substantially more money later. Now that you know that the relationship has been and always will be based on the money you give her to support her "family", you should try to negotiate a better deal. See if she would be happy with half that amount (which is probably more than she earns) - paid weekly - at the end of each week. That way you're not out too much if she suddenly loses interest in you. You can then give me 10,000 of the 15,000 that I saved you every month - and you'll still be ahead by 5,000 a month.

I didn't spend enough time in Da Nang to need a dentist, but I can recommend great dental clinics in Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang, if you're interested. In Ho Chi Minh City, Elite Dental: https://elitedental.com.vn/en/ In Nha Trang, Daisy Dental: https://nhakhoadaisy.vn

It's always the same people who commit these crimes: The ones with the blurry faces. That should be a tip-off for the authorities right away.

CBDCs are "Central Bank Digital Currencies", which are intended to replace cash - so that everybody's financial transactions can be tracked and controlled by the government - and if you do anything the government doesn't like, your access to your (digital only) money can be turned off. "When the SHTF" means "When the <deleted>e hits the fan", which means when everything falls apart.

This is precisely why I have 65% of my net worth in physical gold at the moment: If it continues to go up, fine. But for me, the most important thing is to have assets outside of the banking system and not in the form of paper money when the SHTF and/or when CBDCs are forced on us.

While it's not the main reason why I visit Vietnam, I do always make it a point to visit the dentist while I'm there. They do a great job for rather less than what it costs in Thailand.
