Very interesting opinion indeed. I'd have to think a bit if I wanted my health placed under the care of a young Dr suffering from PTSD? Perhaps the Royal Thai Army could find a place for her with a salary double that of a 7-11 employee. 555

Ya but when she fell out of the ugly tree she hit every branch on the way down

This young Dr is obviously (to me) being coached big time for fame and fortune. Davey boy is probably guilty of something no doubt in my mind. Thing is that Dr's here are held in god like esteem here and can do no wrong. In the past I had a heated argument with my wife when I disagreed with a statement a Dr made concerning a med issue I was having. She couldn't believe that I questioned the Dr's advice.

A few months ago I moved into a condo complex in Jomtien.I did a lot of research 1st and visited the place a couple times and spoke to the jurisdic staff. I'm well aware of the Air B&NB issues.This place has posters on every entrance in 3 languages about the place NOT being a hotel.After 3 months I've not notced any folks with suitcases coming and going. Only issue I have is with whoever lives above me likes to drag the furniture around day and night. Also a lot of long faced Ivans who are the least friendly folks I've ever met in my 73 years. A "good morning" in the lift only produces a look that says "who the f are you" 555

I was forced to fly a lot for work at one time.Those who chose to fully recline their seats in front of me (economy) were treated to an "accidental" jolt every time I had to get up. I finally wised up and had my employer upgrade me to BC at my expense. No more econo flights for me unless only a few hours. Even in retirement the trip from BKK>Toronto is 24 hours door to door I paid the extra for BC with EVA. However those trips are no longer on my agenda.

She's sitting on a gold mine, so they say 555

Correct, there are so many crooked LOS officials that facilitate this BS they have to be careful who they finger. It appears the Boris connection is on the radar screen, finally 555

Oops, the head chief of the RTP and his 2 IC are both in the penalty box under investigation. Who's got the keys?

555, back in the day I worked in the O&G Industry in the ME and LOS and brought in hundreds of thousands of USD over time with no questions asked. Am I guilty of tax evasion? Its mostly long gone so good luck to them if they can find it they can have it.

That's been my argument all along. 25 million people visited LOS last year.How many used credit cards? How long did they stay? How to tell if a transaction was made by a tourist or a pensioner? Wouldn't each and every transaction have to be examined to make that determination? Maybe I'm missing something here?

She is being coached by someone.IMHO

The plot "sickens" apparently he's in the UK with family. Perhaps he can link up with R Bull and Yingy? They could do business together. Thai resto in Mayfair? TIT

We've used the small ferry/float many times years ago at Pra Padang to cross the river on our HD's.With a good GPS it should be easier these days. I'm not so sure I'd tackle a ride to Hua Hin on a Honda Click though. Your ass will never forgive you. Forza yes.

Exactly D...Thats whats in the future. The BIB want it illegal for more backhanders.So obvious!

Actually I was online looking at flights to Siem Reap....555

FYI, I'm a retired Canuck here, I'm a non resident and have a non res account with CIBC.A few years ago they began offering (so called) free overseas money transfers.I began having my pensions sent to my Kbank account for a couple years.The amount that actually arrived here was about 60-70 Cdn $ less than sent.CIBC gave me a <deleted>ty ex rate. (hidden fee) I then found Wise. Now the upfront fees are about 20$ using them. Follow "Lacessit" suggestion and enquire around. See if Wise can provide the FET paper. Do your homework as it will pay off.

Apparently if its registered as a "hotel" its legal. The dodgy part is the Thai lady being a nominee representing the Chinese. We all know farangs with registered businesses that have their residence listed there. Same thing?

I am a victim if the hotel act.We were happily living in our house in the moo ban for 17 years. One day they knocked down the house next door and over the next 6 monthS built a large 5 br pool villa. It's listed in Booking.com for rent as 3 day minimum, about 12k. A Chinese couple bought/financed it using the female moo ban manager via a proxy deal. I assume the chanote has the Thai ladies name on it along with a lease. Every week a new gang arrives and the pool parties begin from around 1 am till sunrise. The pool is located adjacent to the wall separating our house and master bedroom. I've spent 50k on mods for laminated windows etc to no avail. The best advice I received was to move. I now have leased a condo near Jomtien. The wife splits her time between condo/house. Much better for my bp and no 3 am wake ups. Livid in LOS.

C...That was my conclusion also. 2 years ago I was in the market.I found several used cars w low kms in lots online but they all wanted us to finance. Thats where they made their money. The difference between new and 1-2 yrs old was so little I decided to buy the new model. We got a 2021 Toyota Yaris Hatchback which we are very happy with. Smallish engine but suits our needs perfectly. My HD engine had larger displacement. 555

That is so true. I lived payday to payday most of my life.I got a job at 25yo and stuck it out for exacly 30 years and quit. I lost a fair chunk of my pension but could draw it right away which I did. I've been in LOS ever since and collect my govt pensions and have more disposable $ than ever. Now at 73 I think I did the right thing.

Also> "There's no roof racks on a coffin"

Next up, a pic of you with pants down on the loo to prove that you have bowel movements and evidence thereof...I've also heard of them requesting pics of the happy couple in the bedroom? doing what may I ask?

Meanwhile, The PM (stretch) is handing out Visa free options to anyone who is breathing.I know reciprocal Visas are the goal but the average personal income in LOS doesn't really allow for much globe trotting anyway.

IMHO If the cop took out his gun to enforce the law (traffic violation) then the whole story changes.He wasn't expecting any resistance to a drawn gun.I'm not defending the Kiwis but that fact should be made public.
