My guess: no helmet.

So what is the verdict on the quality of that oh so expensive gram of pot sold by lot of stores? 600 thb and up is a lot of baht to pay in my book but whatever floats your bong. I used to grow my own and was quite happy with it. I don't need zombie land gangja that is so strong that you forget your name...just a decent quality that goes with pink floyd etc. Bought few joints from a street vendor recently for 70 baht a joint and all in all it did the trick for me...

There has been no clarity on what happens if we stop paying the bills (obviously a hospital isn't going to tell you that it's "ok" to do that) or what happens if we try to transfer him elsewhere, or even how that would be logistically possible. Seems to me that the most viable option is to just tell hospital in no uncertain terms them there is no more $$ to pay the bill and then the hospital will do whatever it is they do in such a circumstance....i doubt it is the first time that they have had a critically ill farang in the hospital that had no $$....I think the hospital would likely contact his embassy and in meantime keep providing care. Hard to imagine any hospital would just dump him on the street to die. As long as the hospital thinks there is a chance that OP or someone will come up with the $$ they are not likely to offer any suggestions so need to be firm that there is NO $$. Tough move for OP, and kudos for going above and beyond call of duty but there are limits to what anyone can do....what if he hangs on for months and OP ends up bankrupt and then can't pay HIS future bills?

Speaking of conspiracies i just read this....you have got to be kidding me that grown adult people actually go down a rabbit hole so far to come up with such an absurd theory......seriously? Is there anything too "out there" for these people to buy into? No wonder the king of con men DJT has been able to fool so many for so long and suck millions of dollars out of their pockets....trump loves the "uneducated" so why not promote that the Easter Bunny is going to arrive in Santa's sleigh and name trump the ruler of the universe.? Send money to buy Reindeer food for the journey. The QAnon conspiracy theory is an anti-democratic, authoritarian fantasy that imagines a “globalist” or “deep state” cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles — many prominent Democrats among them — who will soon be arrested en masse, and possibly executed, by former President Donald Trump. During his presidency Trump more than played footsie with QAnon supporters, repeatedly refusing to denounce the movement. Since leaving the White House, however, Trump has openly embraced QAnon, often sharing the movement’s memes on Truth Social.

So you want to run an ILLEGAL business which is what 99 % of non hotel licensed condo rentals of less than 30 days are in Thailand. Do you care that people who buy or do long term leases in condos don't want to live in a building with tourists from all over the world checking in and out, clogging elevators, pools, lobby areas.....often coming home late at night drunk and loud? Is it ok if a one week rental has 8 people staying in a unit designed for 2 or 3? If you want to go into the hotel business than build or buy a hotel and follow the law.

A report that included witness after witness of lifelong republicans who testified under oath to what they saw and heard regarding the Jan 6 coup attempt. Go figure that.

Oh yes the kangaroo committee that was after trump.....would that be the same committee that called witness after witness who were lifetime republicans who under oath told what they saw and heard regarding the Jan 6 coup attempt? That kangaroo long ago left the barn.

300.000 Chinese to Thailand in next 3 months....what could possibly go wrong? How about covid and new variant rage through Thailand and all the business that are now open again have to shut down again? Maybe want to think about the economic and social cost of that to 60 million Thai people? So china requires test and 3 jabs before boarding a plane? Somehow I don't have a lot of confidence in those measures being very real if Thailand just has to "take their word' . Who pays hospital bills if a bunch of Chinese end up in Thai hospitals with tubes down their throats?

So what happens if OP just tells current hospital that he has no more $$. Will the hospital throw the patient out onto the streets, call US embassy or ?? Very kind of OP to do what he has already done but seems that getting involved in moving to private hospital doesn't really solve the problem as even then more $$ required. Maybe just tell current hospital sorry i have done all i can, his family has no $$, he has no money and OP has no $$. Somehow I think/hope that the hospital will have to either keep him or move him but it has to be their decision and their cost.

Pattaya has way fewer pretentious two week millionaires trying to impress someone/anyone/everyone with their hi so mojitos and $50 lobsters. What you see in Pattaya are mostly real people enjoying themselves at bargain prices and having fun whether other people like their choices or not.

just more of same old tired republican garbage of sitting in the bleachers and booing the quarterback which is much easier to do than actually run the plays....biden has scored with several big bills passed in two years while the republicans fumble the ball over and over...meantime old senile joe just keeps getting major bills passed, and behaving like a civil human being in spite of republicans constant booing and pulling for him to fail.. .repubs have no plays to run as evidenced by no platform no policy other than if biden/dems and usually majority of voters are for something they are against it....

Just when Thailand is recovering from several years of covid....let's roll the dice and let 300,000 Chinese come for a visit in the first quarter. What could go wrong? If it all backfires and covid goes wild in Thailand and the economy takes two steps backward there will be a lot of finger pointing but of course no one will accept an ounce of blame.

You got it. The repubs who have publicly whined and moaned about how unfair the biased witch hunt of jan 6 committee was to dear leader sat and watched republican after republican testify under oath as to what a shxxshow the events around Jan 6 truly were. It took a 26 y.o. lifelong republican gal named cassidy hutchinson to demonstrate what it is like to have the gonads to simply tell what she saw and heard under oath to open the floodgates. Meantime the republican leadership mostly sat on their hands and acted like they didn't have time to watch the hearings or that it was all a big dem witch hunt and insist that hunter Biden's laptop is more important than an attempted coup. Now the republicans only hope is that DOJ will indict and a jury will convict trump and remove him from running as a 3rd party grifter and guarantee the dems will win big time. But for sure no matter what may happen the republicans will blame dems for what they themselves could have stopped if they had the gonads of a 26 y.o. gal. Of course as someone already said there are several republicans who were active participants in the attempted coup who should also be indicted and convicted so maybe they are clinging to some obscure hope that dear leader will win POTUS again and then pardon them and all those "fine patriots" who stormed the capitol. Maybe doj will drag out the indictments long enough to let trump run third party and destroy what is left of the pre donnie republican party that once upon a time actually had a platform and some policies. Desantis is likely the biggest cheerleader of all that DOJ will move quickly to indict and convict trump so he can assume the minnie me roll of a new dear leader. But will the MAGA bunch take to the streets to riot if/when trump goes to jail? Or will they throw their former messiah under the bus and jump into the new Desantis clown car? It would only take a small % of MAGA to refuse to vote for Desantis to absolutely insure a dem win and my bet is that there are enough hard core kool aide drinkers who will never vote for anyone but trump. They have refused from day one to accept that their emperor had no clothes and it is doubtful that they will ever be able to admit they got conned by one of the best con men ever to live. We shall see.

True dat. And donnie will try and dangle pardons for the entire sorid bunch if only they will let him be potus again.

spineless coward republicans ....Two chances to get rid of him via impeachment and another by standing up after Jan 6....almost all repubs except a handful were terrified of the monster they helped create ...bit late to try and grow a spine now...too bad, so sad. assuming trump is not in jail he will run a revenge campaign to absolutely insure that repubs can nt and will not win.......he never ever cared a whit for either party as it was and always has been all about him ,...he is indeed one of the best conmen ever to live and maga and the thugs bought the bs hook line and sinker....,,if he is able to brag that he and he alone brought down the republican party he will revel in the destruction of the wimps.......plus of course he wants to keep that maga money rolling in... if repubs had a brain they would support the jan 6 committee and the doj and demand that donnie boy not be allowed to skate....instead they want to investigate hunter biden...stupid is as stupid does.

Look forward to donnie trying to run as 3rd party to absolutely insure that dems will win no matter who they run.....T never ever gave a hoot about republicans other than how he could use them to further his own ego. Now that the spineless repubs are finally starting to admit they got conned he will seek revenge and try to destroy whatever is left of the republican party. Plus of course T will continue the con and suck a few more hundred million out of the delusional MAGA bunch that wouldn't know a conman if he bit them on the butt. The only hope the repubs have is that he will be in jail and unable to run but even if that happens he will no doubt call on his MAGA bunch to not vote at all. Repubs had their chance to be rid of him via impeachment but blew it. Well done donnie, well done spineless republicans.

Such a fine Christian thing to do on Christmas eve....JC would really be proud of the hypocrisy of the evangelicals. Why not just round them all up and dump them at churches where all the so called Christians could practice what they love to preach.

Stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye and say "bye bye baht"....then try and learn from your mistake and never do it again...EVER.

you mean like no evidence of massive voter fraud that MAGA has been pushing for two years as fact? got it.

100,000 Chinese a month with no testing.....what could possibly go wrong? Open door, release horse, close door. Giddy up

Define "better".

From CNN today The tourism departments and embassies of France, Thailand, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Austria and Switzerland all posted messages on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, inviting Chinese tourists. "Chinese friends, France welcomes you with open arms!" the French embassy wrote on Weibo. The Thai national tourism administration wrote: "Thailand has been waiting for you for three years!"

Offer a big reward and he will be found in a matter of days or weeks...of course even if they bring him back and he is tried odds are that lots of envelopes will circulate through the judicial system and he will be found not guilty. Very few really rich people anywhere go to jail unless they screw other richer people.

no negative test...no entry With recent covid cases exploding in China does thailand really want to roll the dice allowing untold numbers of chinese to show up untested just as Thailand is starting to recover from covid? Tests are not perfect but better than nothing. Don't wait til the horse is out of the barn to close the door.

Used to be a big problem in waikiki in Hawaii with cars hitting people in crosswalks...HI passed some tough new laws and all rental car renters are told and given rules...i believe the min fine now to even enter a crosswalk if a ped is anywhere within the crosswalk is $500 and subsequent violations up to 1000 usd....took a while but umber of people getting hit went way way down original law: §291C-72 Pedestrians' right-of-way in crosswalks. (a) The driver of a vehicle shall stop for a pedestrian who is crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is either: (1) Upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling; or (2) Approaching the vehicle so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger, and shall not proceed until the pedestrian has passed the vehicle and the driver can safely proceed. For purposes of this section, "a pedestrian who is crossing the roadway within a crosswalk" occurs when any part or extension of the pedestrian, including any part of the pedestrian's body, wheelchair, cane, crutch, or bicycle, is beyond the curb or edges of the traversable roadway and moves onto the roadway within an intersection or crosswalk. (b) No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield. (c) Subsection (a) shall not apply under the conditions stated in section 291C-73(b). (d) Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle. (e) Every person who violates this section shall be subject to the following penalties: (1) For a first infraction, or any infraction not preceded within one year by a prior violation of this section, a fine of $150; (2) For an infraction that occurs within one year of a prior violation of this section, a fine of $300 and revocation of the person's driver's license and privilege to operate a vehicle for a period of ninety days; and (3) For an infraction that occurs within two years of two prior violations of this section, and for the fourth and each additional infraction of this section, regardless of when committed, a fine of $1,000, and revocation of the person's driver's license and privilege to operate a vehicle for a period of one hundred eighty days.
