The U.S. second amendment flips the bird to its detractors here on TVF.

And rightfully so.

They are not nut jobs, nor are they following true scientific process to come up with articles like this.

Just follow the money and the truth is staring you in the face.

l needed 2904 baht to get stitched up and 740 baht to get the motorcycle fixed. And they threw in an oil change and a new spark plug. And the taxi ride to the hospital was 60 baht.

see what you will need if you have a motorbike accident and end up in hospital.

TSA is not the problem. Customs is the problem.

I look at TSA like mall security guards compared to US Customs who are like armed detectives who grill you while trying to get you to admit to random criminal actvities.

If you have ever been singled out, you know what l am talking about.

The majority in every neighborhood are Thais, by my estimate.

Inside every progressive is an authoritarian screaming to get out.

Yay!!

I kind of like that it is so difficult to get the PR.

It keeps a lot of riff-raff from staying too long.

In spite of it, we still have more than our share of riff-raff here.

This is sad to hear when the whole system is corrupt.

Let's start with those who force us all to use unsound fiat currencies controlled by a few banking families.

Politicians are only looking for a bit of security in life when lining their own pockets and those of their cronies and minions.

The process at the airport goes a lot easier if you stop at a local police station and make a police report of the lost departure card.

He isn't following what the globalist shadow government demands. He cares about Filipinos.

He is causing the same type of "distress" as Brexit and Donald Trump.

Salvador Dali lives!!!

Just report the bloke to immigration and wash your hands of his mess.

Take the check to the main branch, or at least a bigger branch that closes at 3:30 pm.

Mall branches generally don't accept these checks for deposit.

As a foreigner, you can buy only the condos.  There are auctions and they are conducted on a regular basis in Thai Language. I have participated in two of these auctions. If you buy a property, you must pay all overdue fees and accept it "as is". In other words, it takes some legwork and due diligence to actually get a deal. I found zero "good deals".  I can confirm that the best deals are taken by the bank employees before the flotsam and jetsam proceed to the auctions.

Let's examine what kind of a society or world matrix we are fed that leads to an operation like this being financially viable.

So many things are taken for granted because people believe the "news" stories that press emotional buttons.

It would have taken very little effort for any of those trafficked or exploited individuals to announce their situation and get out of it at any time.

What are the conditions and events that led to this even happening?  We all know how hard it is for Thai tourists to get a visa to visit the USA.

The mind boggles.  I assure you that even though it is stated in the post, there are no "important position" folks that will suffer from this.

I think it is hit and miss. 

And it also somewhat depends on your budget.

If they want the Cambodians' acceptance, they should stop asking Hun Sen for reparations.

The real champs of that sport are the stars in the movie World War Z.

You don't need a visa solution as much as you need a tax solution.

My 84 year old mom and 64 year old sister are doing much better in the USA than they would be doing here.

For me it is the opposite.

"At this point, what difference does it make?"

"We came. We saw. He died."

Transcription of the number is incorrect in the OP headline...

Should be 2540, not 2450.

A month or so ago, I was watching one of Prayut's speeches which are always a cross between Obama's speeches and something out of 1984.  He is in tune with the U.N. and globalist agenda of electronic money and more capital controls.

So in answer to the O.P. No.. No way. Not now. Not ever.

I have a friend who worked for an international school here in Thailand. He bought a small condo from a Thai Airways pilot without an inward transfer of money.  At the land office, the pilot was insistent that because the condo was under 500,000 baht, it did not fall under the transfer law.  Maybe he also greased some palms, but after 8 hours of standing his ground, the transaction was done. This happened 14 years ago. 

I have also heard of a couple instances that it is easy to buy a condo without an inward transfer in Pattaya because they are very flexible and creative with foreigners there regarding immigration and condo purchases.
