No matter what she is likely going to ride as a passenger on friends bikes. Best you can do is at minimum try and enforce that she must wear a real helmet which of course she will not want to do. someone posted good idea...violate rule and lose the phone for a while...that will get her attention. If possible can u negotiate with her that when she turns 21 u will get her a small car assuming she behaves for next 3 years? No guarantee that she won't have accident in car but odds are much better that she will survive a small car wreck in lot better shape than a motorbike. i think most of us posters likely got an old beat up used car when we were young....she doesn't need a brand new car and lots of old cars would thrill most young people to get ANY car. But even with a car some serious driving lessons needed.

" believed his crypto business would thrive in thailand"??? Maybe he convinced a few cops to become fabulously wealthy buying crypto and then when they figured out he had conned them they were not real happy....what kind of crypto biz exactly requires you to be anywhere other than in front of a keyboard? Something seems to be missing from this story.

You want additiction? Smoke couple of packs of cigs for few decades and see how easy it is to quit? I should know as i quit at least a few dozen times but always went back...finally finally got off them for good about 15 years ago.....i can't even imagine what it would be like to be addicted to worse.... Weed? off and on all my adult life but not one time did i ever wake up in middle of the night when a blizzard was raging, get dressed, drive through blizzard til i found a place to get cigs and feed the addiction. Every one in a while i might thing gee maybe i will smoke a joint but sure would never ever go to the lengths that nicotine took me.

Oh not reefer madness ...same same as crack head madness...except it is not. Reefer and crack have about as much in common as beer and heroin.

They have been collecting bribes from agents to make it look like you have 800 k thb in the bank when you do not so you can get a retirement visa and people can brag about how they got around the law by paying bribes and then complain about corruption in thailand.

Well has OP been telling her "i love you"....if so of course you get the invite to meet the parents.... I remember lot of friends over the years coming to thailand and telling just about every girl the 3 magic words....i had to remind a lot of them that this is thailand and not usa so you don't have to lie to them to get laid....just give them $$ and keep it simple....i would venture to say one month is pretty short time to be sure you are really in love and not just in lust....BIG difference..

i got that wrong..total stay is 175 days so plan is 60 day tourist evisa ..30 day immigration extension then appt with saigon thai embassy to get another 60 day tourist and then final 30 day extension and should be good to go

Could it be that the rules were all in english and neither she nor caddy could read all that fine print or understand it? How would some of the bashers on here do in a Thai golf tourney if all the rules/deviations were written in Thai.....so i guess overall to be safe better have a caddy and a translator?

my total thai stay is 85 days..

I am a bit confused re evisa rules....if i want to get another evisa tourist visa i was planning on going to thai embassy in saigon... .i will get first tourist visa for 60 days online from usa then extend 30 days at immigration but then need another 90 days as my total thai stay is 85 days...so plan to to to saigon and get a second 60 day tourist then extend 30 days then back to usa.. is there any problem with doing that? obviously i am not a resident of vietnam and plan to be there about 10 days total...

Not sure i would want to "walk a mile" in some of the bar girls shoes...it is certainly not all fun, glamor and games for many of them who for whatever reason end up selling themselves to provide for family or kids or hospital stays or a new phone or who knows what causes them to go that route. I remember a lot of freelancers back years ago in bangkok who i enjoyed the services provided and semi got to know several of them and their life stories......i sometimes think of some and wonder whatever happened to them. I do know quite a few ended up marrying some farang and moving away...no idea how or if that worked out for them. I do wish them well. I personally think a lot of the current crop of bar girls are not nearly as sincere or as much fun as before....but of course I was much younger then and likely more attractive to them and not 3 times their age or double their weight. To me they are bar girls and i see no reason to call them hookers or prostitutes though of course that is accurate but also a bit derogatory so what's the point in that?

Lets convict Hunter Biden of bringing coke into the white house without a shred of evidence but ignore the massive pile of evidence of much much worse crimes of the orange one....got it.

that's because it was in reply to a pretty stupid post that got removed.....

Trump seems very capable of getting himself into a ton of legal trouble without any help from democrats...his own republican staff and supporters have provided most all the evidence that resulted in grand jury indictments ( that little thing where ordinary citizens are the ones who review evidence and decide if it is sufficient to result in criminal charges)...and what trumps staff left out the orange bafoon has provided with his own tapes of him running his big flapping mouth, or his own surveillance tapes of boxes of classified documents being moved around to hide from authorities...i guess all that provided evidence by republicans and trump himself is all FAKE.

Amazing how trumpers get all worked up over some coke found in the white house but have no problem with top secret sensitive nuclear and military documents found all over trumps office, storerooms, bathrooms etc. Amazing how trumpers scream weaponized DOJ but forget to mention that the DOJ cannot indict anyone...only a grand jury of ordinary people have that power and only after they have reviewed all the evidence presented and voted that a crime was likely committed. Amazing how trumpers try to pin coke on biden or hunter with no evidence but refuse to accept the tons of evidence presented by Jack Smith mostly provided by republicans, trumpers, and trumps own video and audio tapes. Amazing how trumpers still cling to the Big Lie that the election was rigged over two years post election , two years post 60+ court cases, two years post investigation and recount after recount done by republicans shows that the BIG LIE is a big lie.

Oh boy the trumpers are out in force trying to come up with something, anything, to start a new conspiracy theory that biden is pablo escabar....amazing how they grasp at straws to try and deflect from the fact that their boy donnie is likely going to get convicted and go to jail....of course they are totally incapable of looking at real hard core evidence that jack smith is laying on the table most of which was provided by trumps own staff and supporters and in big mouths own words on tape...but go ahead with the conspiracy theories if that makes you feel like you are really really smart...you are not.

Trump is a desperate cornered rat who will say and do anything to try and deflect from all of his very real problems. The sad thing is that after 6 ++ years of grifting and lying and blaming everyone he has hired and fired, everyone he has ever met or seen or read about, that there are still millions of America that apparently hang on his every word and every tweet. I get it that most of them hate Biden and all democrats but surely they could find another republican that is not on the verge of likely being convicted on a variety of crimes and is bat shxt crazy to support? Sometimes most normal adult people can understand you have to cut your losses and move on.

We shall see but it certainly appears that donnie boy may well be in a jail cell soon unless some wimpy judges let his lawyers make a mockery of the judicial system by filing absurd motions over and over as he has done his entire life. But one strong judge with the gonads to say ENOUGH is all it takes and bye bye donnie boy. He is a cornered rat and will no doubt ramp up all his witch hunt BS to new levels and try to encourage his cult to take to the streets. Sadly some will buy the BS despite a massive PILE of evidence provided mostly by his own staff and fellow republicans and of course from his own big fat mouth which he is incapable of shutting. If it were indeed a "witch hunt" those witches sure do have a ton of evidence...just yelling "lock them up" is not evidence. What Jack Smith has already revealed is EVIDENCE.

no kidding....2.4 million usd is NOT a lot of $$ for politicians these days....how much do all the coup generals have or do they even bother to disclose pre coup wealth compared to their wealth today? that would be some interesting figures to take a look at...

So a "travel coach" does a most boring cities article and gets a free ad on asean to try and sell his travel coach services....got it. Quick let me write a "how to get laid in Thailand" article and maybe i can also get a free ad and sell condoms ??

if he is already abusing booze then i suspect adding valium will just make things worse and if he can get enough of it add another addiction...there is a reason it is not all that easy to get since many tend to get hooked....

or maybe the junta "graciously" allows him to be PM with the message that if he crosses them the tanks will roll in the streets once again....those generals have a lot of young ladies to support and perhaps need a new paris or london flat....

I rarely use it but if i get bad pain that seems inside my one good ear i do take amoxicillin then head to doc asap....when u only have one left u don't want to take any chances...

So is clarence thomas some kind of role model for you?...another "straight shooter" for the right?
