Xi probably says that the basin stretches to Taiwan in the east and the Philippines in the south. -
what are some stories about Russians trying to make $$?
Tropicalevo replied to Foroitalico's topic in Phuket
You'd actually have less violent crime if you stopped all drugs. Interesting story in the BP about a cannabis addict killing his father and blind sister because they would not give him money for his next joint. Sorry, I cannot post a link but it is in the social and lifestyle section -
Good luck. Everything that you say tells us that you are spot on. Having a local from KPN should help.

Shocked at Prices for Flights in December 2024
Tropicalevo replied to pj123's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Never had Covid before. Since Covid, there is a shortage of pilots, airline staff, ground crews and planes. Less choice. Sorry. -
Yes, that is the law and the 'house master' whoever gets a fine. Meanwhile it is the poor individual who wants a visa extension who becomes 'illegal'. It is in our own interest to make sure that the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. Just like the OP is trying to do. Otherwise, we lose out. Saying 'but it is not my job' does not help when you are in a room being 'interviewed' by immigration.

At the end of the day it is down to the individual officer. Friends went to KPN immigration and I had warned them to take a TM 30 print out. All went well until the officer noticed that the hotel had mistyped the passport number. The officer said that she could not change it but told my friend to ring the hotel now to correct it and go back and get another TM 30 copy. She would wait for them to return. All sorted, extension granted.

The TM 30 tells them where you are staying and it requires documentation/proof. The TM 47 only tells them that you are still there.

Sadly, Samui immigration do seem to be pedantic when it comes to TM 30's. Is this your first TM 30 at this address since the new reporting system came in last year?

Northeast Thailand: Former boxer’s son kills father over farming dispute
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Possible brain damage to the son caused by boxing? Over time, the term “punch-drunk” was replaced by “dementia pugilistica” and eventually "chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)." Its symptoms, depending on the sufferer, include slurred or garbled speech, unsteady gait, tremors, loss of analytical ability, memory loss, mood swings, irritability, confusion, depression, and erratic violent behavior. https://www.boxingscene.com/damage-untold-story-brain-damage-boxing--157578 -
Thai AirAsia opposes airfare reductions due to operational costs
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So you are the reason that prices are going up? Legal fees, fines, compensation etc etc. They all add up to increased prices. -
Thai AirAsia opposes airfare reductions due to operational costs
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If the government wants air fares to be lower, it should subsidise them. Not tell airlines what their pricing policy will be. The travellers will decide if an airline is too expensive or not.- 124 replies

Why kill geckos? They are harmless. There is a Thai urban myth that 'the tokay fell on my friend's shoulder, bit her neck and would not let go' but I think that story is put around by parents in order to get their kids to leave them alone. When I ask 'did it happen to you or did you see it', the answer is always 'mum told me'.

Phuket governor calls for probe into Laem Nga beach blockade
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
So the Thais want the owner to pay for the extra facilities, even though they are looking for ways to kick them off the land? -
A good article by Thai PBS. It raises some interesting points. The moral of the story seems to be that if you want to hold a political demonstration, hire lots of ladyboys.
