Did the Thai police refuse to record the original complaints?

 

surely not: it was a complaint about 2 nicked golden fountain pens (higher brand), duly taken note of  --  at that time, no other wrongdoings or niceties were reported to them

Are you an express train driver on Thai Rail?

I can see their point, there have been loads of white foreign bogus volunteers in CM getting VISAs.

You pay an agent, they set you up with a charity, you get a 1 year VISA for turning up for 1 or 2 days.

I've known at least two guys in the past who did this (both under 50s).

 e.g.: Once you "subscribe" with one of the influential, prosperous NGOs in PnomPenh next thing you get is a Toyota Land Cruiser (6cyl., big thing) and sufficient funds for hanging out every night at Riverside, sipping red wine, going for Cambo chicks...good life, indeed. Seen plenty of these French passport holders (port of origin: Algeria, Tunesia and the like)

This is why I have a dash cam, on more than one occasion I have proved the other driver was at fault! 

I never had a crash in 13 years TH (and I do >25k km/y)

Else, a near-miss is nothing to mention about in this country even less to record or prove

did you ever have a close look at this rubbish? If you go for Thai clients ONLY that'd be o.k.

a while ago I had a total of 120sqm order-made with one of those truck cover suppliers along the highways, very good job with stuff that really lasts

I always use the card for checking in for domestic flights, checking in at hotels in Thailand and as ID when going to the bank (which is very rare now that Banking can be done on mobile phone). I have never had any problems using the card for above and other purposes. 

Considering that it took about 15 minutes to obtain the card and above benefits, I think it is useful.

 

same for me - positive. The non-plus-ultra would be a magnetic strip or else to the card to make it machine- readable

Not just Chinese. We once had a younger Russian lady stay for a month. She was a Time Share sales person and would leave the apartment all beautified (and was a good looking  woman). Yet when she checked out the apartment was disgusting, especially the toilet. She had caused a blocked toilet yet kept on using it without telling us. 

how to keep using a blocked toilet?

What can you do with this specialised knowledge?

lead a twosome life with your sweet without sweat an' fear

"do you agree with the crackdown on illegals?"

YES

I would suggest the girl to simply go for crowd- funding: Anybody in a miserable situation (mostly self- inflicted) does today. It is the easiest way to overcome your own mental shortcomings and in many a case even present you with an unexpected bonus

In Thailand I bet the arrest in most cases is related to drink or drugs

 

In UAE it's a simple failure to understand that their legal system is based on a Bronze Age novel.

I see the majority in the deadly combination "under the influence of" and sunburn ... the pale-skinned Brits look like boiled prawns in Brighton already on an overcast July day with the temp. shooting up to 22 °C...the Thai sun must be aweful on them

ask a Cambodian to "help" you with this issue...

Bangkok is doomed. Less than 30 years before it slitheres/sinks into the bay. Anyone upset yet? No! I thought not. Start moving the capital to Udon Thani! All the HiSos can go to Hua Hin; plenty of room there.

psychological and logistics, financial, military grounds are set already to move to the future capital of Khorat

I think banks make enough already without robbing people on 9000 Baht a month salaries. The charge applies to all rich foreigners and the less well off. The charge is because you take your money from a machine outside the boundary why. 

and then these 9k thb people withdraw 200 baht at a time...

I'm sure that whoever gone in to remove the boxes knew about the CCTV

and it's almost for certain that this is an inside job.... 

never ever an insider - would have friends and keys and codes and the like and take the loot the smart & clean way. I'd rather suggest some Arab friends who knew about the 2 (!) heists in different rooms

What can you buy for 1,000 baht in Thailand?

 

If you cant't find that out by yourself you should not be here. Close to being the most stupid post this week.

I am sure he did not find out yet another nice way of spending: 2 hrs really professional oil massage followed by a "special"...errr... that is another thousand, though (fine if you do it every other day)
