  1. RIP. nobody deserves to go out, that way. Thailand can a dangerous place to visit, esp on your own, if your aim is to ''drink heavily''. However the pubs are crowded with expats who do just that - without ending up dead in suspicious circumstances. I mean, if you suffer from depression, would you book a trip half way around the world so you can off yourself? Hopefully this will make the front page of the Daily Mail, and result in single tourists being more careful. RIP
  2. That must have been a FAT brown envelope of Danish krone/crowns.
  3. unless you are a HI-So travelling abroad and run into another Thai who gives you the finger. LOVED that story.
  4. and I thought it was Fear and Loathing in Bangkok. 🙂
  5. another lost opportunity to observe sarcasm.
  6. i didnt notice any censure, either, by Thailand over its nationals who died from the conditions they worked under, building the Qatar world cup facilities.
  7. didn't she get pulled up on corruption charges over a big money Bangkok land deal? i imagine it was another ''honest mistake''.
  8. i still get confused - red, yellow; amazing Thailand - again and again..
  9. strikes me that things are getting worse. has happened to me with my car, in Patong, years ago. (no violence, as I paid a ''fee'' after getting threatened) . things appear to be getting out of control when its Thai on Thai. Every time something, anything happens to tourists, the British scandal mags report it - and another knockout blow for the tourist industry.
  10. with the IO we had for years and years - it would have been ''let's go outside'' 🙂
  11. you misunderstood my attempt at humor - or I must have been obtuse. I was assuming the seller uses so much weed that he cannot calculate a multiple of his per unit selling price.
  12. speaking of Shopee/Lazada, can you buy a classic (glass) bong online?
  13. I guess 'annual payment derived from any other juristic act' means pension and just about anything. will not hold my breath. One of the great traditions of Thailand is - inertia.
  14. absolutely correct. as anyone going through the application of any Thai laws will find out, precedent is not considered relevant.
  15. correct, but do you mean 120k annually, after personal deductions etc? right?
  16. Ive found clones, locally. they were just hidden behind the drapes, in my suppliers shop. Something that still amazes me - he has an official government certificate that he is is registered to sell something (in Thai) posted on his entrance.Only in Thailand. 555
  17. judging by his questionable ability to do his sums, I'd guess he just might have some great product. 🙂
  18. you do know, (seriously) some men find their gf's that way? 555
  19. I was deported from Canada - for making anti- Justin Trudeau remarks. That's my excuse for living in Thailand.
  20. Has anyone noticed how similar the term 'New Order' is - to 'New World Order'. 😉
  21. Thanks - I will try to read that publication. But, a quick question? is there a broad definition of 'income from work/business/property' . If pension income is not specified in the definition, then why are we discussing it?
  22. you've raised an interest topic - if you live in Thailand for more than 180 days in a given year - are there regulations describing what your tax status is ? (never mind the Immigration rules).
