Maybe they think they're Japanese.

 A Japanese work colleague told me that their eyes are superior to western eyes, and he/they could look directly at the sun without irritation or harm.

You should be able to find more accurate information on the DFAT website than hearsay/personal opinion on TV.

Petchabun, Pai, Loei, Mae Hong Son, Nan and if you can take the smoke CM.

Mae Hong Son, and possibly some of the others, suffers smoke also, every bit as bad as CM from my experience.

Many years ago, while living in Singapore, an old Chinese old me that tails are broken intentionally, soon after birth, so the animal isn't perfect, and won't take up a person's place in heaven.

I guess heaven is a bit crowded??

Or maybe all the male cats suffer Peyronies?

You can take the girl out of Thailand, but you can't tale Thailand out of the girl.

Asians, generally, don't settle well anywhere other than home.

Doesn't smoke rise ?

Smoke does, but the vile smell of cigarette Is still evident over a wide area.  A light breeze around a building will disperse smoke In all directions.

Smokers have to be the most Inconsiderate and arrogant people on the planet.

Only once a year? I try to get out once a month!

How ling each month?

If you go for 5 days a month, that's about the same as two minths a year, just arranged differently.

Since the upgrade on TV, I'm unable to edit, e.g., I'm unable to backspace above to correct 'minths' to 'months', but only on my 'phone!!

That is not necessarily correct. My daughter has two passports also and we use one to depart the home country and the, other,  Australian one to enter Thailand. There has never been an issue.

Exactly right, nothing to do wirh the manifest.  

Ridiculous OP.

Alright, there has been too many mention of asses. We need pictures.

And one a$$h**e , the boss.

Attend the next office party. Tape a cucumber to your thigh under your trousers and have your wife casually introduce you to the offending boss.

Then you can laugh at home later knowing Boss man will be having cold sweat nightmares about finally bedding your wife but, in the moment of truth, she looks up into his eyes and, in a bored tone of voice, asks, "Is it in yet?"

Sorted!

I don't need a cucumber for that.

What you're saying is...........I'm not called 'donkey' because I'm stupid?

I don't think you will be banned, mate. Yes, immigration has the ability to ban you, but I don't believe it's mandatory.

maybe your right

this is to hard for married people with children

my plan was to go in airport pay the fine 20k

fly in Cambodia,to get a new 3 months tourist visa

return in thailand

send all my stuff and go back home

but right now i will not risk a trip in Cambodia before i send my stuff home

or i have to find a way-company to send them without valid visa

Can't you just have your belongings consigned by another person??

The way this story started, I thought he was going to tell us that an electronic detector of unpaid items caused a machine gun to pop up and blast him as he walked through the door.

Just forget it.

I can do onward flight, not a big deal.... but cash? I don't think they would ask for cash? If so, show them a bank statement. I cannot even withdraw 20k in baht.... last time, my bank just allowed 17k baht at once....that's the max for daily withdraw.

Go back to the bank the next day. It's only a daily limit, not annual.

How many lives did her yaba sales ruin ? How many teenagers did she sell to who then stole from their parents, gave up educational opportunities and made other's live's miserable hells. ?

Yes...it is quite fair for drug sellers. For Users maybe harsh...but for dealers...throw the book at them.

She hasn't ruined any lives except her own. Every single user is solely responsible for their own life choices, unless they're human slaves being forced to use the product, in which case the slave masters are the criminals, not the sales people.

Responsible for life choices?? So was she and she made the WRONG choice.

Can you see that? They ALL, including this dealer, had life choices.

Ya play the game....ya take the knocks.

If they'd put some effort into legal work, they'd be OK.

Useless in humidity, not bad in dry heat.

They rely on evaporation, and in high humidity, there is no evaporation.

Don't waste your baht.

Thank you very much

Whatever you do, make sure you get her to sign a prenup

I'm pretty sure prenups don't mean much in Australia, I hear they don't really protect you.

They're still not legislated, but a court 'may' take a prenup into account, provided it's seen to be 'fair' to both parties, whatever that means.

So not yet together 6 months and next step marriage. Good luck on many levels.

Yeah it does seem pretty quick but I'm 100% sure about this one. I did live in Thailand for a year so I know what all the fake Thais just looking for a better life are about, she isn't one of those.

Time will tell.

Thai Visa is littered with claims that "my girl is different".

Good luck.

Well.....the OP has a variety of opinions, some may be accurate, some not, and there is quite a bit of conflict between posters.

With the lack of concurrence, I'd suggest it would be wise to consult a British lawyer for authorative information.

"The first thing his wife did was to put the hotel on the market which sold for 50 million baht.... That blew me away because I would have valued the whole thing under 20 million, "

Chiang Mai, the hub of drug money laundering

That's not laundering money...that's throwing it away. Laundering involves recovering the money, and buying a lemon doesn't permit that to happen.

It may even attract attention if the buyer can't be seen to be worth B50M!

STA can't advise on visas?

Time to find/use a different travel company.

Just another story, what is your point really

There is NO point, and why would he want to prove it to ubonjoe? I think UJ may say exactly what others are saying......where is the fine art?

It looked completely normal to me, but I suppose one can inject as much 'excitement/drama' into an event as he wishes to. Not naming places, etc., is just drama queen stuff. Post 20th March it may have been a little more dramatic, but ho hum.....yawn!!

Haha love the generalised rubbish getting spouted on here " rare to see doctors, lawyers, judges or CEO 's with tattoos" What? Really? Or "faux tough guys wannabes and never were's". The irony here is tattooed people couldn't give a <deleted> what non-tattoed people are thinking, yet non-tattoed people are so quick with their vehemence, bigotry and ridicule towards tattooed folk. So guess who the narrow minded, petty, judgemental <deleted> are.

I agree some of that generalized rubbish starky, that it's rare to see people of substance with tattoos, and I mean the large, exposed, attention seeking tatts. I'm sure there are many who do have them, but they are discreet, visible only when not wearing clothes. They are people who are confident and don't need to attract attention to themselves to feel good about themselves.

I have such a tatt, small, about 5 cm X 5 cm, discreet, and my gf loves it.

I don't stand in judgement of those who do have sleeves, facial tatts, etc., just not my style, and I do wonder if many will regret such ostentatious 'branding' later in their lives. I see a business opportunity in tattoo removal.

I agree with Karen Bravo that they're now mainstream, but there have been many fads that have been mainstream and then become un-mainstream, so I expect we'll see less sometime in the future.

I liked namatjira's post in response to starky, cut and pasted below

Proof of the mentality of many. He didn't say "all".
