First of all you have to learn to spell Isaan.

Are you a good one?

Generals get paid pretty well in Thailand.

So do many other apparently. Or they all have an uncanny ability to invest with maximum gains.

Did they consider the Thai sencor of the internet?

You have to try. If it's a Toyota it will not happen, but If it's another brand, nobody knows.

If your country have an embassy in Bangkok you could go there and get a new passport.

I think that will give you four more entries without any problems.

It is frustrating no doubt, BUT do you really think a cashier or guard cares if you come back or not? If you do not come back it is even better for them, less work.

They have this rule and perhaps they need to hand in the tickets, to avoid the hassle of having to explain why 1 ticket is missing, it is only natural to demand the payment for it.

I will say though, 240 baht being such a small amount, that i would not even bother start a debate and more over ask to call the police, because 240 could have easily turned into 24000 .

Also i do not think the loss of 1 customer would make that much different to a supermarket like Villa, especially when they think you just a tourist and your explanations go into one ear and out the other.

240 bath is not a small amount in Thailand. It`s one day salary for this guard.

The Arabs invented the condom, but it was the British whom started killing the goat first :-)

Brake failure

More like failure to brake.

Why does brake failure happen ?

Because of Thai way of maintenance.

What grade of quality do this tablets bare ?

Who will repair them when something goes wrong ?

Is the support for free ?

Is this just a gigantic waste of money and prestigee ?

Why do you think it's wrong to make a villain apologise to his victim's family?

The mind boggles....

It`s not wrong, but this one is not convicted yet.

Unlikely he would be sentenced to death. The Norwegian government would protest strongly.

It would be a very good wake up call for Norway if he was executed.

Could you specify why this would be a "very good wake up call" for Norway ?

Which Norwegians needs to be wakened up by this ?

No problem if you just hand over all this docs. I printed the application form from Vientiane and filled in everything in advance, but they did not accept that form. I had to fill in an local form with another heading. This is an consulate, in my mind thats an department of the embassy, but they needs different headings on their papers. This is like it is in Kongo, a third world country.

I have some serious info, but I do not know if I can go to the Thai police and tell them. Maybe thats the wrong adress ? What can I do ?

I found this at Wikipedia:

7-Eleven has been operating in China in cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Tianjin, since 2008, with some stores open since 1992. It offers little or no brand name items like Slurpee. Where Slurpees are offered, they use the Chinese name 思樂冰 (sīlèbīng). However, they offer a wide array of warm food, including traditional items like the steamed, filled bun. Shops in Chengdu offer a full variety of onigiri (饭团), though those in other cities may not. Also sold are some beverages, alcohol, candy, periodicals, and other convenience items. As of April, 2009, there were 591 7-Eleven locations in mainland China.[citation needed] Although Beijing locations were originally planned to be open "from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm, to suit the lifestyle of Beijingers",[18] the majority are open 24 hours every day.

Ukrit Mongkolnavin, chairman of the Independent National Rule of Law Commission, said the EM programme is part of a range of human rights issues and that EM devices should be applied to inmates with minor offences, political prisoners and economic-related convicts so that they do not need to be physically present in prisons.

The Thais are not ashamed of this. Political prisoners is a third ( or fourth ) world issue.

Nothing is ever what it seems in Thailand. A fugitive who has evaded arrest for 7 years is finally arrested and the ruling party claim a victory despite the fact his son is a cabinet member AND the self same ruling party members openly associaet with and regularly visit another well known fugitive

Can you please explain for an non-English reader ?

Children of Greek citizens automatically become Greek citizens, no matter where they are born. Last I heard, Melbourne has the 3rd largest population of Greek citizens after Athens and Thessalonika. Many Greek immigrants retire back to Greece, explaining the high death rate there.

Which relevance does this have to the case ?

UPDATE

Crackdown begins on illegal foreigners in Phuket

Tanyaluk Sakoot

Maj Gen Choti Chavalviwat, Commander of Phuket Provincial Police.

PHUKET: -- Twelve foreigners, including people from Australia, Finland, Indonesia, Myammar, and the UK, were arrested yesterday (January 31) for working illegally in the island’s tourism industry, police said.

Their arrests came as Maj Gen Choti Chavalviwat, Commander of Phuket Provincial Police, announced an investigation into tour agencies, massage parlous and restaurants, as well as other businesses which are foreign owned or employ many foreign staff. This was prompted by a protest on Monday in Bang Tao by Thai businesspeople, who said illegal foreign businesses were undercutting the market.

The Department of Labour, in conjunction with Phuket Immigration and the Phuket Police, started checking companies yesterday (January 31) based on random checks or tip-offs from the public.

The main focus will be on businesses that are foreign owned or operated, but Thai businesses that employ large numbers of foreigners will also be checked.

Beginning the crackdown, 12 foreigners were arrested yesterday for either not having a work permit, or doing a different job to what their work permit states.

Many were working in the tour industry as tour guides, taxi drivers or masseurs, police said. Their cases have been referred to the Phuket Provincial Court.

“I understand that foreigners want to work in Phuket, but they have to work correctly,” Maj Gen Choti told The Phuket News.

Mr Choti said the officials were also checking Thai shareholders in foreign-run companies. Thai people listed as shareholders might need to show they genuinely had enough money to have been able to have invested in the company.

“The Bang Tao mob were very angry, and it is their right to be angry,” Maj Gen Choti said.

“Russians coming to travel is fine, but if they take Thai people’s careers and livelihoods by working illegally, that is not fair to the Thai people.

“Foreigners who live and work here have to show us their work permit if we do a check. If they have the correct permit, it is not a problem.”

Here it goes again. A Thai cop have done his job, and the news has to report it. The Thai news reports everytime a cop does his job.

"An award will be presented to the area most successful at mitigating land and forest fires."

It really makes me laugh.....

Apart from writhing about on the floor with laughter at the antics of the comical Orientals what would you recommend?

I would recommend 100 000,- bath fines for every Redneck they can catch for starting a fire. If they can`t pay, confiscate the land.

Im sorry to hear that about your son. My first is also a Thai/caucasian. Im not from the UK, but is it possible the racism is because the history of the UK is one of a caste system?

No it stems from the fact that at present white British people in London are now the minority,along with many other immigration problems but that's another story,good luck in your new move I hope it works out for the best for you and your family.
