Bangkok Barry

You are questioning my comment about youreavinalaff saying A marriage extension, the type i imagine you are on now but call a "Thai wife visa", only requires 400k and my saying that's a weird comment as the OP knows that already. That has nothing at all to do with the OP asking about using an agent for a retirement extension instead, knowing he doesn't have 800,000. Yourehavinalaff made no comment in the post I quoted about anything other than telling the OP he needed 400,000 for the marriage extension, which the OP knew already. You appear to be joining two posts together, when I only commented on one.

Today's weird post of the day, and so early If he's on a marriage extension and I imagine he knows it's 400,000. He's asking about moving to a retirement one.

I hadn't realised until now that Thailand had a Christmas pantomime season. Not much of a plot though. We've seen it all before. Oh no you haven't. Oh yes I have.

It is. Just more pathetic Thai reporting, from someone who doesn't know the difference between writing news and writing an opinion or commentary piece. Do they even have journalism courses in Thailand?

It is/was a TAT slogan, with as much truthfulness as their foreign arrival figures.

Perhaps the next one should be "Youth Football Against Violence".

Yes. Easy if you live in Bangkok. But I had to make two 1300km round trips, to apply and then collect. Why they can't use EMS like everyone else does, I have no idea.

Trying to entice tourists from Kazakhstan shows how far the country has fallen. Hardly a mass market.

Bright lad. Didn't take him long to learn about Thai culture, did it.

It's not often that a Thai does a job properly, so credit where credit's due. Poles, homes, motorcycles and a collection of cars destroyed. A Royal Flush.

It might be a silly question, but why? Why is he allowed house arrest and no time in jail. Okay, we know why, but how do the authorities justify it. But then, in Thailand they never have to justify anything, do they.

What choice do they have? In a country where they are not even allowed to have the government they vote for.

It isn't the way of the world. I come from the UK, where wealth and position play absolutely no part in determining whether you are jailed or not. Even a member of the House of Lords did time.

It's a typical Thai boondoggle to keep the bus company making money. Someone influencial owns the buses. Total nonsense. Happens all over the world. And the buses are owned by the airline that shuttles you between the terminal and the plane.

Just part of the culture, the 'bit on a side'.

Airlines have to pay to use the ramps. Some choose not to, and that's usually the reason you have to take the bus. Often this is a good thing - slow start, but it does drop you off close to immigration and/or baggage collection so no long walk involved.

Is any of the plan addressing the fact that Bangkok is expected to be under water within a few decades from now?

Maybe he's referring to 'party' or 4am opening zones?

He wasn't sincere because he didn't also apologise to society. For something he says he didn't do.

This doesn't make sense. If he denies the charges and says he didn't do it, what did he apologise for?

All you have to do is point to the 1000 and say 1000 - in Thai if you like, but they'll understand if it isn't - when you hand it over. Same method as recommended in bars.

Join the dots

That might be because this is a forum about Thailand and what happens in Thailand. Perhaps you are not able to understand something as simple as that, which is quite an achievement. At the same time, I don't see anywhere that anyone has said this only happens in Thailand. Something else you seem to not understand.

Again. And again. And again. It's their culture, but mostly they just kill themselves. Sometimes though 'guests' to the country get caught in the crossfire. It was like this a couple of hundred years ago in the American wild west, wasn't it, people being killed over nothing? Thailand culture is still living those times. Maybe the USA wasn't the best comparison though, because the killing there continues unabated.
