I am glad he had the decency to return the money, but feel he only did so from the shame produced by social media. Had it not been so well publicised, I suspect he would not have done so. We all make mistakes. The woman is satisfied, the cops seem to be letting it go. All that remains is for the TV punters to shred him a little more I guess.
I have nothing but praise for the Thai lady who has been very fair minded about the whole thing and more than gracious. I wish there were more like her. Her boyfriend seems to have picked a good one.
I agree, he'd've gotten away scot free if he hadn't been caught red handed by the cctv. I'd be happy to see him sentenced to a free kick up his fat arse by that lovely lady.

"Let us be heard"
You WERE heard in the referendum and you lost.
“Whether you want to leave the EU or to stay in, the only way to unlock the Brexit process in parliament, the only way to secure a stable majority in Parliament, the only way to legitimise the outcome so we can build a lasting settlement in the country is to give the people the final say,”
They had their final say three years ago. How many final says do you want?

I have seen a report that a Bangkok agent will quit frequently visit an immigration office in northern Issan and has been seen with quite a few passports talking to the contact in that office.
So I'm not surprised by the OPs report.
It has happened that one or more people have had a problem with an extension obtained via an agent. So @Tanoshi is giving good advice. Even better is not to use an agent at all.
"Even better is not to use an agent at all."
I personally don't use one, but if I had plenty of money I would. In my opinion it's what the IOs want you to do and is therefore a bombproof method. Can you see an IO, from the bottom to the top man killing off the golden goose. That's why we have all these complicated rules encouraging you to use them.

More targets for the world class ladyboy pick pockets, well done!
I've lived in the Pattaya area for 12 years and it must be many months since I last saw a ladyboy. I've never had my pockets picked by one. Mind you, if you're the type who likes to get up close to them it may happen. However, if you live in a wooden hut in a jungle clearing in Nakhon Nowhere, it probably won't.

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the guy beating the crap out of the poor girl. Given the amount of times such scum pull out a gun when someone tries to intervene, I can kind of understand people not wanting to rush in to assist, but still an extremely poor show by the bystanders. There were plenty of them after all, and it went on for a while.
Friend of mine jumped off the back of a baht bus to help a Thai woman being beaten up by a guy. He ended up being severely beaten by the guy, the woman and a group of motorbike taxi riders.

Lived there for three years, never again. Bureaucracy worse than Thailand, most govt servants little Hitlers. Almost impossible to get replies to important phone calls/letters. People mainly stubborn and bossy, although I did meet a few nice people. Expensive, except for housing. Where I was in Haute Vienne, freezing in winter and heating very expensive. Boring and expensive bars. Unattractive and poorly dressed women who you didn't see unchaperoned of an evening anyway, and hardly ever use the bars. The one thing I did enjoy was the peacefulness of my surrounding area, the quiet roads and the hot dry summers. Moving to Thailand was like being let out of jail. Took me ten years to sell my property there at a fraction of what I paid for it.

Depends on whether or not you're gay, but I wouldn't regard #8 as a plus. Also, you are surely joking when you say that it's quiet. It was 10 years back, but not anymore. I had to sell my condo on Jomtien Beach Road because of the constant wall-shaking bass-heavy "music" from the pickups parked next to the beach. You just couldn't escape it. The beach and sea is just as polluted as Pattaya and the traffic is a problem. Parts of it flood in the wet. I'm afraid Jomtien is now just a little Pattaya and I wouldn't live there again if you paid me. I live near Ban Amphur, which is better but with the rapid Pattaya expansion, it's starting to get noisy and crowded out this way too, especially on weekends. In the not too distant future, Pattaya and Sattahip will be one big city.

On the railway road in Pattaya I slow down for all the unsigned roads crossing the dual carriageway because I've seen a few accidents on these intersections. However, every time I reduce speed for them, several cars usually flash past me at high speed. Children in adult bodies.

yeah do some research on world health organization safe levels for 2.5 particles and you will see pattaya exceeds this all of high season and beyond the last years... this isn't rocket science but has been covered up in the media in the past... in fact the pattaya reporting station has been conveniently closed for many years but technology has allowed readings through volunteers such as airvisual etc.
You're talking central Pattaya now, but who in their right mind, except for the bar mongers, wants to live in the middle of the city. Just up the coast past Jomtien, or inland it's beautiful.

Don't waste your time Pattaya area has dangerous 2.5 pollution levels minimum 6 months of the year. Go south or find another country.
Blx! No pollution in the Ban Amphur area away from Sukhumvit, only the occasional neighbour burning his garden waste.

The Russians wouldn't know the truth if they tripped over it in the street. Watch the series Chernobyl to see how they lied when half the world was in danger of radiation poisoning. Awful race of people.

They will then be a second referendum when we stay in - you Brexiteers have opened the gates of hell - the pound will get to that 27 baht well before 2023 - well done, keep up the wrecking work on behalf of your Eton-toff puppet-masters. Taking back control my arrsss.....
Last I heard it was the remainers causing all the problems. There has been no Brexit therefore I don't see how you can blame the people who voted for it. All we have now is indecision and chaos, something the forex markets hate, hence the falling pound. You see, this is why we have democracy, when people can't agree on something, it has to be done by a vote. As long as everyone abides by the result, even if they don't like it, democracy works. When people do what the losers (remainers) are doing by fighting against the result, then chaos ensues.

What a pallaver eh? The hoops I now have to jump through to do something which I've been doing smoothly, effortlessly and LEGALLY for the last 12 years using the embassy letter, which sadly is no longer an option.

You must give me the address of your optician, I want some of those rose coloured specs that you wear.
When I arrived here in early 2007 there were no TM30s to worry about. Because these have to be done within 24 hours of arriving back, I should imagine that adds quite a few to the queues every day. Also people switching from retirement to marriage extension must add to the backlog, in view of the time it takes to process the ME.

Tell that to the remainers holding us up and causing the pound to bomb, not the 17.4 million Brits who chose to exit.

I'm waiting with baited breath for reports of someone applying for retirement visa extension at Jomtien using the monthly income method, with proof of international transfers from Jan/Feb of this year and asking for leniency.
It'll also be interesting to see accounts of people using the combination method at the same office. 1) Does the lump sum have to be seasoned for two months? 2) Does the whole or part have to remain banked for three months afterwards? 3) On the income part, can there be less than twelve months international transfers, providing that added to the lump sum it totals 800,000 ie 450,000 lump and six months intl txfers totalling 350,000?

So that's one poster on here wouldn't mind seeing a passenger jet brought down as long as it makes a point for the lefties. These people don't give a fig about climate change etc, it's all about making a political point for the left.

Don't expect sympathy from the rose-coloured specs brigade and the junta fans on here because you won't get it. I thought your mother was treated abominably, but I wasn't surprised by TI's attitude. Good luck to your mum in the Philippines and put the keyboard warriors on "ignore", it'll make this forum a pleasanter place to visit and you won't have to wade through the rubbish to get to the meat.

They haven't delivered on the result of the first one yet, why have another? For democracy to work, you have to abide by the wishes of the people, once you ignore the people's vote, then democracy breaks down. Win or lose, in a democracy, you have to accept the vote. Aren't us British supposed to be good losers? As far as remainers are concerned, that's gone out of the window. If Corbyn's Labour get there way and there's a second referendum, then a precedent will have been set and the next thing you know people will be demanding reruns of general elections for no other reason than their side having lost.

One of the benefits of diversity, a large increase in the crime figures. Tourists are bound to be affected by it. Couple that with the female dominated govt being soft on crime and you have your explanation.

It is - and probably going to get worse!
Only if the politicians carry on ignoring the result of the referendum. In a democracy, if you disregard the will of the people then eventually the brown stuff's going to hit the fan.
Never seen Immigration so quiet.

Good time to go to Jomtien just before lunch, also late afternoon.
