What an absolutely terrible advice for someone who wants to retire.

It was a decent way to invest in before it hit the roof, now though it is terrible advice as you say.

I met the guy who runs Wikihow who was with his wife and children.

Nice enough guy, with an aloof SF attitude though.

Anyone, be that Palestinians or Israelis,  hitting another person is not fit to roam freely, and should be locked up. 

What about if they were occupying your front yard and not leaving?

I sense a business opportunity for a circuit where this can be carried out legally. Nothing fancy, just some tyres and straw bales and a truck selling Red Bull, sticking plasters and coffins.

I agree, they do this in Chiang Mai from time to time. Plus places in Germany do it as well. Close off a quiet road at night and let the youth blast off some energy there than risk collisions elsewhere.

How can anyone in their right mind praise an illegal, uninsured service here?

This is Thai Visa

The question is not whether or not the woman would go back

It's whether the Thai  man would let her come back... 

Damaged goods and all that.... 

I think it's oftentimes a case of that for them to leave Thai men to farangs in the first place...;)

I think UBER is still the better choice .

Uber is turd-tier taxi service. They kill local taxi firms and have lower standards.

I think death by firing squad should make a comeback. That lethal injection is pathetic, like putting a cat to sleep or something.

Just combine the two. He was killed by a ghost wave.

Lured in to sleep somehow by the ghost thing, while asleep, in came the wave and the slab of death.

Reckless Driving charge has been made, not sure if it's against the German or the American.

Unlike here where over 25.000 die a year on the roads and teachers are allowed to beat the hell out of children

 

No wonder the place is hell on earth with that thinking.

Teachers are allowed to carry out corporal punishment? Sounds pretty based to me. 

Like his style, old school and kinda maverick. 

It could have back-fired though but that's just another day in LOS. :)

Boys will be boys.

Do these Thais not get jail time for theft? 4,000 Euros surely breaks the Felony-tier barrier for sentencing right?

The role of the motorcycle taxi driver in aiding and abetting this young woman's tragic attempt to prematurely end her young life is questionable to say the least. Driving an emotionally volatile and drunk girl to a bridge and filming her as she climbed over the handrail and fell to her death is not exactly an act of responsibility, let alone chivalry.

 

What on earth did he think she was intending to do - and why did he, instead of trying to talk her out of it, act so apparently willingly as her accomplice? Assisted suicide, which this arguably was, is surely a criminal offence here as elsewhere.

 

Legality apart, what a sad reflection this story is on the kind of uncaring, dispassionate society we are creating in this, the Century of Self. 

If one had said no, she'd have found another, or just walked and not bothered with the video'd death song and jump.

Uber is the trash-tier taxi-service.

Do not use them, they put honest and time-served taxi-drivers out of a job.

If you don't like the taxi-drivers that aren't Uber consider that there are zero-background checks on uber drivers and Uber has just had their license pulled in the UK as well.

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).

1. As people have become more saavy, the average financial payoff for a Thai girl looking to hit the jackpot by batting her baby blues has probably gotten smaller. Some women, those mainly motivated by mercenary considerations, decide that the smaller payoffs are not worth the effort.

 

2. Demographics have shifted. Thai women are more in demand - both from Thai men and men from other Asian countries - than they were 20-30 years ago. Also, the economy has changed during this period, providing more educational and occupational opportunities to women, making many women feel less pressured to enter into a relationship for strictly financial reasons.

 

3. The government has gone to great lengths to stigmatize Thailand's sex industry, and in the process made many Thais feel more self-conscious about being in a  relationship with a foreign man. Many Thais automatically assume that any Thai woman with a foreign man is a sex worker, and many Thai women feel that this loss of social status isn't worth whatever other benefits they receive from the relationship.

 

4. In Jared Diamond's book, The Third Chimpanzee, he points out that most often people choose mating partners who resemble themselves, thus the default attraction for Thais is other Thais. Foreigners who imagine otherwise, are kidding themselves.

  

Careful, the liberals who think idealistic farangs just get Thai women on the strengths of their 'progressive' values will get butt hurt.

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.

According to posts on his wife's Facebook page, he was in the hospital in Udon Thani when he died. The doctors apparently

diagnosed him with Dengue Fever. He went into a coma and died on 20 Dec. It appears they did the cremation at her home village on the 25th (looks like it was at 3 day ceremony at least).

Thailand has Dengue fever? Was he living in a marsh?

Or was it some sort of poison to mimic or similar symptoms?

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.

If it's any consolation a friend of mine got visa banned for 5 yrs over something much more trivial than an overstay (this wasn't LOS either) so chin up and good luck.

Got a few of these laying around and with the new plastic natty ones in circulation wondering if Thailand accepts the old ones still?

Also can I still change the old 20 baht notes for new ones? (The ones with the musket guy on the back)

Thai Drivers license?

Most Hated German in Thailand is impressive. There are some serious arschlochs on Soi Khao Noi.

Yeah a lot of degenerates, that idiot is just the tip of the iceberg.

I like how the news article dares not even mention the elephant in the room, instead goes for 'dark complexion'. LOL
