Hi there. If you were ordered you must go back to show your bank book in 90 days. I do not think you need a bank letter for that. If so yours would be the first report like that. It's not determined yet if any offices will be ordering later reports for the 400k.

I totally agree they're jerking us around.

I'm learning Spanish.

"I'm learning Spanish" -- oooh, I thought there's only very, very few Thai speaking Spanish...

i was down beach road this morning from soi 7 to walking street and it was deserted very little chinese and thais sitting looking totally fed up so it is having a big effect for sure with the condition of the beach craters everywhere maybe they need advice from people who know about this issue.

all they need ist surely not more sand (to be washed away again) but a busload full of good head shrinkers to take care of the tourists professionally - they shouldn't be too sad about a lost holiday and a non-existing nice beach...

Says absolutely nothing other than a load of waffle about doing "something" while reinforcing the blatant racism Thailand has towards black people.

no one cares about the ever-diminishing white minority in TH anymore, the final blow to all "whitish" will be the Indians (I saw them last night again on BR in droves, a fairly unpleasant, ever- increasing bunch...to say the least)

yes, why don't you learn from and copy the drug addicts, they always have some stuff hidden somewhere - just in case....

I must tell you that this is a very racist place. Funny thing is the most racist posters always claim to not be racist which basically means, "do not point out that am being racist!". In their thinking, how dare Thailand receive tourists from anywhere apart from Europe and how dare these tourists behave differently? 

most Westerners in TH simply adopt to their extremely racist TH environment so that the two will get along happily

I think Thailand is desperate to shed its image as a prostitution-riddled country. The Russians and Chinese are not into the whores. There may be a decrease in spending on prostitutes, but there will never be a reduction in the number of prostitutes. Thailand is full of them. 

how can any governmental body "reduce prostitution"? they are absolutely not interested in harsh measures, which would reduce their "cut". By the way: the country is not riddled with prostitutes, the lasses are beneficial to the economy and national health (without them, 90% of all Thai males would permanently blow their fuses...)

I know of one family with 2 kids that was suppose to fly to Europe last night. They have been booked on a noon flight this Sunday, extending their stay in Thailand by 3 days, but ZERO compensation from Thai Airways.

No hotel, no taxi/limo from the airport, not even a 100 baht food voucher. Nil, nothing!

Bit low of Thai.

they should ask either Indian or Paki governments for compensation

The Chinese normally buy property and ‘sit’ on it for a while , until they can sell for a profit . Sorry to say but it’s very rare a property appreciates in value in Thailand when there’s always a new complex being built next door for the same price ! 

yes, and "the new complex" almost always totally blocks your sea / city / mountain view...

another cheap n boaring soap opera (Thai? Farang? style); T. May and others (also in Australia) will be ever so happy about crap like this in all of their valuable tabloids because it distracts the entire well- educated population of a developed country from really biting political issues....

Can't confirm it but it can only be something to be thankful for, let's hope they can stop the illegals.

one of the illegals soi 70 and up could be your impeccably dressed Japanese Manager neighbour (who could turn out to be Yakuza as many other J. in that area...)

Generalizing.

Racial profiling.

Could you not insert the word "some" before the word "Thais" please?

Otherwise you are insinuating my wife (who is Thai) can't steer round a curve as you so succinctly put it.

Unfortunately for you, she drives a 4 door pick up, all around the country and never had an accident.

Strange that.

Innit.

 

it shows that all kinds of (deadly) accidents aren't worth a single mail or statement (this was my first n last contribution to "wacky races of death"...)

There's a reason these girls want to sell their bodies in Thailand. They get much more money compared to 'working' in Laos.

none of them sells their body - they just provide services

I think nothing wrong with such attitude with all these "truly valuable international travellers"...

" Does anyone agree that this is a world class beach resort or a family friendly beach? "

who ever seriously said this?

I only remember these endless mantras uttered by governmental authorities, ThaiTourism Auth., travel agents, home developers and deck chair operators - no one else will ever think anything else but Pattaya being one of the more lowly <resorts>

P.S. I personally love it because of the byrds...

why is the man's colour relevant?

 

when caucasians are refereed to in headlines/articles the phrase 'white man' is never used.

 because "white" is much more distinguishable against a dark blackground - means: Many a time without referring to "black" you won't see it/him

"...fine the negligent driver only up to 5,000 baht...

...family of each of the dead victims would get just 30,000 baht from the tour bus company

...The company have been fined 50,000 baht.

3 massive judicious steps, well- considered and also this case of Amazing Thai Traffic shall be closed

This has garnered world attention from many news organizations. The Thai authorities should put her on a plane to AUS  because if she is returned to her family in Saudi Arabia and killed I think Thai tourism will take a big a hit as the sinking of the ferry that killed the Chinese.

do you want to hint at the chance that Saudi and other world-wide moslems will avoid Thailand then? a surely intriguing thought to the Thai people, visitors and residents in TH

According to the Saudi Embassy/Consulate she does have her passport with her.

how about breaking the loo door open (no big deal) and search her?
