    The 2016 drone law in the US is exactly the same non-residents are not allowed to steal authority thinks about getting problem but still no decision

    That's non-state residents. If you have stayed somewhere longer than 3 months and come back you are a resident. So one session in country of 90 days gets you state residency (not federal).

    I think your being technical in terms.

     

    Skimming can happen by walking past someone and using a device to digitally steal data. An rfid wallet or card is built to protect against that.

     

    The skimming term you speak of is more aligned to the card skimming practice as done at an ATM. 

     

    Skimmers are not only for atms. 

     

    Without the pin you can still rack up purchases onlìme. 

     

     

    Most online transactions ask for the 3 digit security code which isn't recorded on the chip.

    I'm too poor to be in Thailand I guess. No one I know back in the US has 20k unless they're working hard at their job and not messing around in Thailand like I am. :)  I love Thailand but if I had more money I would only be here 3-4 months out of the year (bad driving, pollution, noise affects life quality too much) and in which case just use tourist visas. Just my thoughts.

    I think any online fivvrr worker or other such bugman worth his salt won't give this 'professional' visa the time of day.

     

    Seriously you are going to spend so much money on a visa like that how will you even make ends meet trying to earn money online? Unless you are some international architect or top level consultant liking Thailand enough to partially relocate this is a milking scam. The Elite Visa is probably more their style.

    Hull is still doing tourist visas. Not sure where you heard they were not doing them.

    Info here: http://www.thaiconsul-uk.com/

    The embassy in London will also do a tourist visa in person or by post.

    This:

    And this now tells me the London Embassy is wanting applications 'in-hand' which means the same thing as in person.

  5. you know top charoen optician; have shops everywhere, blue and white branding always seem to have short skirted female staff sitting in the window and hardly ever any customers.

    i often wondered how they made any money and suspected they may be a front for money laundering.

    i was dating a thai lawyer last year and mentioned this to her, she said they had been investigated for exactly these activities but cleared.

    i still dont know how they make any money...

    Super-wealthy Thais basically patron many big businesses from the top-down. That's how a lot of these stores are too. They build the place and business as a gesture and it helps keep people paid in wages and raises the area's prosperity. They can afford to spend the money and waste it because they have even wealthier people by throwing money down the line into these projects.

    If you tried to do the same thing as a farang you would lose. You could not maintain the momentum like they can and get away with it.

    An apartment complex I was living in year had a Chinese owner who not only made money on the apartment block but had a massive hardware store he ran with his family helping. That's just a small scale example. They juggle it and basically one feeds the other. Over the decades and family line that's one way how they make the $$$$$$ to reach the top.

  6. Pretty sure they would prefer a person who speaks their own language

    If you want millions of chinese to visit your country you need to show flexibility or they will go elsewhere

    and how can they prove he was working? is taking photos now illegal?

    It's called a sting operation. The Thais are quite good at it when it suits them. In the USA it is called 'entrapment'

  7. Mrs told me this morning of a friend of here who left her I phone in one of the crash master vans yesterday.

    Was returned to her this morning by the driver.

    Must be that Thainess thing we see posted so often on here.

    I left my passport in a taxi once down in Phuket. It was Sonkhran and the middle of Patong area!

    The taxi man drove all the way back, took him about 8 hours through the traffic. He wouldn't accept any money either!!!

    Amazing Thailand! This was in 2001 IIRC.

  8. Told or ordered?

    It's so tricky to tell the difference nowadays.

    Told or ordered? What does it matter.?..I wouldn't do either..why should a lot of these street-shitters and pissers be especially welcomed? Government tells people to do this and that...but they are not there to experience the aftermath...I think these same ones to give recommendations and orders to be the same ones to experience what the ©hinese leave behind. Idiots...

    Shiting and pissing iin the street is hardly eclusive to the Chinese. There isn't a day goes by I don't see a local, mostly taxi drivers but others as well, pissing by the side of the road. Spitting in the street is also a common practice among the local population. It's a cultural thing in some parts of Asia. The real show though is in the UK on a Friday and Saturday night at club chucking out time. Pissing and shitting in the street with the added bonus of projectile vomiting. As I said - it's hardly an exclusive Chinese thing.

    Don't backstab your own people you!! Chinese practices as mentioned previously take place when sober oftentimes so don't go out of context!

  9. .The Germans started a war,and lost.

    No they didn't! They had land stolen from them at Versaille in 1919! They were sick of having their people killed by the poles (see the Bromberg Massacre) and decided to retake Eastern Prussia, their land in Bohemia and joined with Austria (who wanted to join them).

    It was Britain that declared war on Germany, NOT the other way around!

    Jews weren't the backbone either! I don't where you pulled that from, they were a tiny minority!

  10. The exchange rate for Canadian dollar has never been lower. I see the same goes for AUD$.

    I mean....sure I can still live in Thailand, but I am back in Canada comparing prices and it sure looks like life would be cheaper here long term. Not to mention the long term benefits such as free healthcare, cleaner and safer everything and pension even if one is not working.

    The only problem is my gf and future wife has a decent job in Bangkok and I am sure she would be miserable in Canada.

    What to do?

    Go home, get a Canadian gf and return to normal. :)

    The shows over, Thailand is beyond its sell-by-date.

  11. Why not just buy BB gun? Seriously, full metal body and good quality look almost the same as real one, it is legal and hurt like hell when fired on someone for defense.

    That's not a bad option. You need the parts changed out to accept metal bbs. The rubber mag-seals can perish and leak out air over time.

    Not a bad option and a lot more affordable.

    I left mine with a friend and some thai low-life came and pinched it!

    Never employ a BB gun in place of a weapon. Never bluff. An example would be the instance she employs it and effectively chased them away from the house, only to have a drive by with the house sprayed with bullets moments later. Or, aiming it, nervously, her bluff is called, and an assailant now takes out his pistol. Buy a BB for fun, but not safety. Really.

    It's more for soi-dogs and changed up piss-heads really. Some areas I've lived in will have them running away. Drive-by the house? Not unless they want a police crackdown and mass-arrests against their gang, not going to happen.
