  1. Come 20 Mar 16 the bell will toll for overstayers with over a 90 days overstay for those who surrender themselves, but for those who get arrested it appears there is no 90 day grace period if I'm reading the announcement right.

    If I was an overstayer of over 90 days I would definitely exit Thailand before the rules go into effect 20 Mar 16 in order to avoid a long ban on reentry. Get legal on your stay or possibly say goodbye to Thailand for a year (or many more depending on overstay length) once identified as an overstayer.

    Actually, I'm somewhat surprised the govt is actually putting it into effect but it does appear it's going into effect 20 Mar 16.

    hopefully we getting to law and order closer ;

    Good news for any farong who do his homework correct and get the correct visas;

  2. Yes I am new. Very new actually. That's why I am reaching to the seniors on here. Seeking advice/experience what to watch out for what not to worry about.

  3. Tourists are cheated - tour operators never announce that this time is " NO - NO tourist time -

    no swimming !! no sea !

    the Hotels should be closed for this period!!

    Nozt to tell this to tourists in advance on bookin is CHEATING !!

    2nd - foto be comfortable, they leave the no swimm flaggs out for 24 hrs !!

    thats also bull shit,

    because after some time no one beleaves - trusts - that this flags are serious !!

  4. BBC are reporting the shrine has re-opened already which hardly suggests a painstaking ' fingertip ' search. I can't confirm but other posters are saying the area was hosed down the next day so maybe showing all is well and under control is more important, don't want to lose tourist money.

    If subsequent claims of scientific evidence are made where will it have come from ?

    Evening news yesterday (18th August) showed the Nation TV's drone shot of the bombing site and fire hoses were spraying water around the shrine and a lot of scrubbing was being done.

    so they are sure any hidden evidence are gone for 100% now !!

    RTP !!

  5. SCB gave us a credit card on the back of us opening a deposit account with them. The credit card limit was and is 50% of the deposit amount. This deposit was made 8 years ago even although we had substantial funds banked and invested with them. We assumed that that was simply the way business was done here and when you hear stories about spiralling credit card debt back home, they have a point. What irks me is that they (SCB) actually hold the deposit account passbook and it takes a visit to the office to even be advised of any interest earned, which is (insultingly) shared with you on a scrap of paper.

    We have an impeccable record with them and this thread prompts me to pay them a visit, not just to ask for a bi-annual interest update.

    I asked SCB about the arrangement that you have and was not happy that they only give you a credit card limit of 50% of the amount that you keep in the fixed term deposit account.

    I therefore chose Bangkok Bank who issued me a credit card with a credit limit of 100% of the amount in my fixed term deposit account. I have 2 million baht in 6 month fixed terms and the credit card has a 2 million baht credit limit. I also retain possession of the fixed term deposit passbook.

    I recommend you switch from SCB to Bangkok Bank. SCB's policy of only giving you a 50% credit limit against your fixed term deposit is unfair. Go to Bangkok Bank they will confirm what I have told you.

    it is not advisable at all ( not to say stup... )

    to keep a credit card with 2 mill thb limit -

    they crack - stolen your card and 2 mill gone !!

    you crazy !!

    100.000 - 200.000,- ok,

    if i need more for a single case,

    I call the bank to open for 1 time transfer an higher amount !!

  6. There is a totally lack of Intelligence ( does this word exist in thai dictionary ? ) on this RTP investigating team;

    They used 1 day to discover the yellow shirt,

    they need another day to find out he drove with a motorcy to soi9,

    Thae will need another day to make a decision to seal off and search soi 9 !

    They were so stupid not to know how to seal off the bombing place for a certain time,

    to search for any particle of the bomb,

    and collect everything - everything in an circuit of at least 200 mets;

    they didn't propably save nothing for what they were not sure - it is the bomb itself,

    and left 200 police buddies to trample down anything what was on floor and street ;

    So now its too late, to find any particle of this rucksack ,

    A bomb have a lot of metal peaces - they are not burning down,

    but propably all is already dumped with garbadge container;

    You could see next day traffic was running around there as Usual,

    Even they were proud to announce, that situation and traffic there is normal,

    And they have sebd now all this incopetent staff to the pier-

    to get diving courses there to look for evidence in the Chao Praya river :-))

    When they will check out soi 9 and adjent area ?

    What an punch of intelligence must be in this RTP investigating team?

    Than as some noticed on the cctv movie, 2 guys sitting there before,

    made immediately place there for this yellow shirt, and went than off also immediately;

    Maybee one of them were the other guy which placed the motorcycle,

    and the 3rd one was a higher ranking to controll the situation,

    and ignite the bombs short after when they were placed !!

    Any RTP intelligence realised this ??

    Than it is impossible to identify his face by immigration on their records ,

    a by that that their recognition sw is from stone age,

    no one is able to handle this sw to make up the picture good for coparison,

    Or to use it other was around :

    The guy was sure not comming trough immigration in Yala;

    he's not a female, not african, not an indian, not an european;

    male, asien, 16 - 25 years - last 10 days - than go 30 days - BKK airports -

    will not bee too much to go trough personally , picture by picture;

    propably its not written in their duty obligation,

    so you would have to emplay someone and train him to do this !

    Or to you think RTPs intelligence would be able to do this ??

    They know when and how much selary they have to get ,

    and they know huw much they have to collect bribes when and where,

    Thats it what you can expect from that 400.000 officers you have in LOS !!

    But not a reasonable investigation in this bombings !!

    Far from it to suggest competency of the Thai police force, but do you REALLY HONESTLY believe that the police have not done the things you mentioned and quickly?

    I mean really, honestly? It took them a day to realise he had a yellow shirt... grow up.

    and this Intelligence group of RTP used another day to find out he drove with a motorcy to soi9 !

    and they will need another day to collect staff to seal off soi 9 and do a search;

    after they will read again news and TV quotes to find out, to review the CCTV and look

    for this other 2 guys which were reservating the seat for the yellow shirt and left also immediately after;

    And than, maybee they will start next week with the investigationg on the 2nd bomb with motorcycle -

    maybee there is also a CCTV camera which showes who placed the motor cycle,

    and in 3rd week they will visit the garbadge collection company ,

    to ask for debris from the site, as sure some parts of the rucksack - the sholder belts must be remained;

    the guy did not wear gloves, so there must be DNA parts on !!

    But than we back - that they will find that 100 RTP officers have left their DNA on this parts !!

  7. How do they know he took a motorcycle taxi to Silom soi 7?

    Sounds like a taxi driver took him and was interviewed and told them he remembered the T shirt and fare and destination.

    Next step is to walk the soi with manpower to find someone else who saw him. maybe he switched taxis. whatever. maybe the search dies there. maybe not. what am I missing?

    please read more !

    A taxi driver recognised him as guest after seeing his picture - he brought him tp the place,

    and he went off with a motorcy-taxi - into soi 9 , not soi 7 !!

    The driver also recognised him from the pictures mailed out on TV !!

    But the intelligence ? of RTP never followed the other 2 guys which were sitting beside - and before

    him on same place, and left instantly too !!

    Maybee one of them were the rider of the motorcycle;

    How they can not identify who placed the motorcycle there ??

    there were 3 bombs placed in this area in nearly same time !!

    Where is the IQ of this Intelligence team ??

  8. Have looked at the video of the suspected bomber dropping the backpack at Erawan a few times now. One thing that impresses me is how short he appears to be, especially when compared to the larger men and women he is standing near in the video. Given the low quality of the video, it almost looks like he could be a 15-16 year old teenager.

    So... Seems we should be looking for a fairly short man, seemingly fairly young, wearing glasses, who is Asian and has a somewhat darker than average Asian complexion. Not sure where to find anyone such as that, really.

    Side question: what are those wrap-like things on each of his forearms supposed to do/be for? Are they like fitness things or something? Maybe used in weight lifting? I really have no idea, but wonder if it might not be best to look for the guy in a fitness center or maybe a Muay Thai facility.

    please dont expect such identifications by this Intelligence team of RTP !!

    they are employees of RTP only;

    There duty is 8 hrs per day, and selary every end of month,

    and salut when the Big Boss comes around !!!

    But not a reasonable investigation in this bombings !!

  10. I'd have to agree that it would be difficult for a foreigner to source all the materials to manufacture a bomb of this scale on his own without arousing suspicion or people noticing.

    I only go to the hardware store once a year and they always remember me, and I'm spending a few hundred baht on cheap everyday tools. A foreigner buying materials for a bomb of this scale without being noticed/remembered? Not impossible, but not as easy as people suggest. I very much doubt he acted alone, especially given the behaviour of the 2 that gave up their seat to him without question and then shielded him (then immediately left) as he planted the bomb.

    Someone knows who this is, I'd suggest a large reward for information, Thais aren't the best at keeping secrets at the best of times, but when money is offered to grass on a foreigner?

    a good watch Jonny, that 2 guys went off from chairs to give him a seat -

    propably the " Intelligence " of RTP never foloowed any other trace,

    just the yellow shirt - thats all what 5.000 RTP are doing now in BKK,

    and in Yala they looking propably for any yellow t-shirt too;

  11. I read that some other countries offered to send up, but it was not requested.

    Most of the guys in uniform are not really trained police... they have the gun and badge but are very clueless when it comes to real police work.

    An investigation like this really requires intelligent and trained people. I do not believe they exist in thailand... they NEED help from experienced and trained people from other countries. BUT, I suspect they will not ask or accept.

    Obtaining videos and other media evidence was probably given to them by citizens.

    This situation is clearly out of the league and out of the skill level of these people.

    Get help you guys.

    Any smart guy would be long gone from thailand by now.

    Meanwhile, you can bet the Thais have run straight off to the embassies of U.S., Israel, China to plead for information, intelligence and forensic assistance. Guaranteed.

    It is very obvious to me that the this police investigation does not know what to do or how to investigate anything properly. They are trying to do something so fast that it does not work.

    This is all amazing; another world terrorist attack of some sort

    There is a lot of bashing of the RTP, maybe not the best but also far from stupid

    The General in charge of running the country, I am sure is highly intelligent, he planned and executed his coup faultlessly, I am certain he is participating, it is too big for this not to be the case, and someone of his cunning and ability needs to me masterminding this investigation

    Some of the initial evidence is very good, a video so quickly even if poor quality

    Maybe more photos from tourists in tourist area

    There are many countries more experienced in investigating these things, USA, UK Israel, surely help and personal from these countries should be asked to come and assist

    It is the strong man who says you can do this better than me please help, only the idiot does not go this way

    Speed is essential and so far this seems to have been wasted, with the exception of cleaning the scene and wishing away evidence, the whole area plus 100 Mts in each direction should have been sealed and still sealed

    Get on the phone to LONDON and ask Cameron for immediate assistance and help, need a plane full of people not just a couple

    thats the result of the Thai education and police structure;

    The reach and corrupt family will bring their siblings in position,

    and they will go up the ladder of carier -

    without any knowledge of their job !

    Therefore, you can see, where in Thai something works well,

    farongs are on the top to lead it !

    Just have an other look to Thai airways !

    A Booming tourism for last 10 - 15 years -

    what made Thai Airways out of this - Bankrott !!

  12. If you look at yellow shirt man you will see he his carrying a plastic carry bag after leaving the backpack, maybe he has nothing to do with the bomb but was paid to leave the backpack and pick up his money then call to say job done then whoever are behind the bomb where close by a set it off.

    All this showes how in-competent RTP is -

    incompetent ? no, it means they are shipherders on their education !!

    They need 1 day to check this cctv cameras and another day to find the motorcycle driver,

    In other countries where they have intelligence within police,

    they would have known that he went to soi 9,

    they would know if u can use soi 9 to hide to the next 7- or 11 road -

    seal off this soi and check trough !

    Too much intelligent work needed for this !!

    All this show how incompetent all this GVT Job system is in Thailand;

    Only corruption brings you in high position !

    Tha real intelligence have no chance in the RTP to get up a ladder on carier !!

  13. The top cop is bang on the mark. Such admirable detective skills. There's no doubt that Thais were involved in helping the bomber. The taxi driver that took him to Erawan was Thai, as were the hotel staff who gave him a place to stay.

    the hotel owner and staff propably the CORRUPT thais ,

    which not register guests to avoid paying taxes !

    So they will not announce that he have been in this Hotel !
