Gambian Man Arrested After Seven Years Overstay in Thailand
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
The tourist policeman with the white crocs, looks well out of place in that photo. It is as if someone has told a passer-by to put on the uniform for the photo op. -
British Driver Arrested in Wichit for Reckless Driving- VIDEO
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Or maybe, now that they have no money, they have to steal to eat thereby encouraging bad behaviour? What do you do with them if they do not have the money for the big fine? Gaol them? -
30 Cars Stolen in UK Traced to Thailand, Returned to Owners
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So the cars were recovered, by the police here in Thailand, seven years ago. For seven years, the cars have been in police custody. They obviously cannot just leave them 'parked up', for all of that time, so surely the police will have been taking them for daily 'test runs' to ensure that they are all in perfect working order? -
So many threads here on this one. Some say you have to, others say you don't. At the end of the day, it is down to the individual immigration officer and even whether he/she/it is going through menopause/period/hangover. Why are people so against filling in a TM 30? It only takes a few minutes to do it on-line. Being pedantic and insisting that you are in the right does not help if they will not give you an extension or whatever.

Thai FM Denies Banks' Involvement in Myanmar Arms Sales

Liar, liar pants on fire. Then why are you sending the Burmese back to Burma where they will probably be conscripted into the army? Is that more realistic? -
Thailand Warns Public on Dangers of Cyanide Possession
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
She was charged with premeditated murder of 13 people plus other charges She was in gaol (had a miscarriage there) but that was pre-trial. Not allowed bail. One can only assume that she was found guilty. The papers would have mentioned if she was released. The government issued the same warning as mentioned above back then but obviously nothing has changed. -

I have never been on Fakebook. Suckerberg is totally without morals. Nasty person. -
Deputy PM Anutin opposes PM Srettha’s cannabis reclassification
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I have been told that it is his brother (or BIL?). He is rumoured to have one of the largest cannabis farms in Thailand. I can not find any proof or this though. -
Shocking hike: Thai industries spark concern over electricity rates
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Many business are now moving out of Thailand or going bust. The Thai economy is not doing well. This will be a double whammy for businesses. Increased energy costs (all businesses use electricity) and increased wage costs (thank you Mr Prime Minister). The minimum wage in Vietnam has just been increased and it it is still lower than the current minimum wage in Thailand. So, for a business to try to continue here, it will have to 'import' cheaper labour? More unemployed Thais? -
Shocking hike: Thai industries spark concern over electricity rates
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
How does that work out then? I pay more than most for my electricity (10 baht per unit on a private development) but I pay the same as everyone else for gasoline. -

Did they check your PSA? At your age (and even younger) men should check this regularly (but not frequently). It is an indicator and not a decider. Rising PSA can mean a number of things. High PSA does not mean cancer. -

Maybe look for a hotel supplies shop in Chiang Mai. I get all linen and towels from the hotel suppliers here on Samui. 100% cotton - Egyptian and others. Various different thread counts (price). Good quality - long lasting.

Cyber Police Arrest Loan Shark, Seize Over 3 Million Baht
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
As she probably does not keep the illegal money in the bank, I would guess that she will be entitled to the 10,000 baht vote buying payout. -

Almost no post where I live on Samui since Covid. No postmen. If I do receive a letter, it is usually 3 -6 months old. -
House passes supplementary budget bill to fund “digital wallet
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Please try and stop the excuses. The budget needs to be boosted to pay off the vote buying. It will not significantly boost the economy. PS it is not a necessity!
