Find a different place to live if you want to be a long-term stay on a short-term visa. This obviously isn't the place anymore. Really, how much money do digital nomads bring into Thailand in the way of revenue? I'm mean really - Thailand is a land of some really schizophrenic people who on one hand want the money that business relationship with foreigners brings into Thai banks, but on the other hand, the country is one of the most nationalistic, xenophobia places on the planet Earth and look like they are on the verge of dismanteling Thai bank's earning potential out of sheer dislike of foreigners. I honestly don't think Thailand has a clue as to want they want other than to not to have to deal with non-Thais. Yeah - they will throw the baby out with the bath water. Well, even though I'm married I guess I should probably check my BKK account to see if this f****** is going to bleed over to those of us who actually are on long-term visa for no other reason than I personally realize that Thailand hates all non-Thais. Every last one of us.

Brits obvious like prison.

When the first Taurus hits a critical military site or Russian nuclear infrastructure - it's "Game On." This is no doubt the outcome most Russia-hating Europeans are wishing for. A MAD 2025!

And the Armitis and Neckitis almost killed him for sure! On his deathbed I hear, just moaning that he wants to spend his last days with his grandchildren and never waste his time with politics ever again. But for the grace of Buddha, excellent doctors (whom he now scourges), and months in a penthouse hospital wing, he no doubt would have lost both the arm and the neck. Thank Buddha!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!!! HALLELUJAH! And by the grace of Buddha he now has the strength and stamina to re-enter politics again and to save Thailand in the name of the poor!!! A TRUE MIRACLE!!!

No "deep-rooted ethical issues" with keeping a "connected" billionaire out of GenPop "eh?

Poor abused guy gal. Plan your next vacation in Russia where they welcome LGBTQIA+ travellers. What - don't like Russia? Ok - try Saudi Arabia. The Saudis love LGBTQIA+ travellers!!!

Like I said, there are ways to handle that situation. The cops could have acted as an intermediary, taken her passport (or taken some other valuables or documents), and told her to come collect when she has the money for the bill. The phone probably could have covered the bill. Gotta keep your cool.

Cash Is King. Don't leave home without it! With that said, mistakes can happen. Problems with debit cards and bank transfers via phone which can go south during power outages or just problems with international banking can happen. And she was trying to bring up her banking application to show that she did have money. There are ways to sort that out without resorting to threats of imprisonment. However??? Perhaps you're considered to be a "special person" in your home country (America?), then you come to Thailand, have issues with paying a bill, and then insult Thais in general because, well, don't Thais know you're special - and get physical and then essentially assaults the cops? Not a good plan at all. Enjoy detention!

Sorta like those big beautiful beef-on-a-bun products which normally don't look anything like their advertisements (names not to be mentioned due to defamation laws as we're not in Kansas anymore Toto)

Up Next? "A prominent Thai consumer rights Facebook group arrested for defamation."

Maybe he just wanted a Long Stay Visa? Poor man.

Peace Through Strength: Trump’s Missile Shield Will Stop War Before It Starts Trump unveils the $175B "Golden Dome" missile shield—aimed at intercepting anything, defending the homeland, and ending the era of endless foreign wars. https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/23/peace-through-strength-trumps-missile-shield-will-stop-war-before-it-starts/ The US Golden Dome will be the new Congressional honeypot $$$Cha-Ching$$$ into which Congress will back up the money-making-machine and dump $175 Billion dollars into the Military Industrial Complex Bottomless Pit, which of course will end up being 5 years behind schedule and $825 Billion dollars over budget, and by the time of its completion will be 3 generations of missile tech behind the latest offensive hypersonic missile technology it's meant to protect the US from. 💸 However, with that said, if you - like members of Congress and Trump family members - can find out who will be awarded the contracts to build Trump's answer to Regan's Star Wars, you - like members of Congress and Trump family members - can make a killing in the stock market if you can front-run those who are awarded the lucrative gravy-train, pork-barrel contracts $$$Cha-Ching$$$ $$$Cha-Ching$$$ 💰 It will no doubt be a really Feel-Good Project, sorta like Covid shots, ya know, Safe And Effective. $$$Cha-Ching$$$ $$$Cha-Ching$$$ $$$Cha-Ching$$$ 💰 Peace Through Strength is like Chasity Through Shagging. Methinks that the $175 Billion would be better spent on Golden Kneepads for those seeking a audience with 47 in the Oval Office. "Yeah baby!" Place Down-thumbs here 👎

Does anyone in the right mind believe that these doctors acted without enticement? A bunch of Thai doctors got together and conspired to keep Thaksin out of the actual prison population out of the goodness of their hearts and compassion for an old, sick elderly man on the edge of death, but Thaksin and none of the Shin Dynasty had anything to do with it? If you believe that I have a bridge over the River Kwai that I'm selling at bargain basement prices. Here's the picture. Call me if you are interested. It's a blow-out deal! I'll even throw in 100 whistling Brit POW to do odd-jobs around the bridge.

Can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Thai Police Launch Helmet Crackdown to Boost Road Safety Thai police launch revenue collection drive. There! Fixed it!

Make sure to stay up to date on all of your mRNA shots and boosters. Get them at least twice a year. Safe and Effective!

The risk of death from any cause for adults ages 75 years to 84 years old is about 140 times higher than for adults ages 18-29. There - fixed it!

So many of those answers are completely probable. If it didn't happen to the noted Darwin Award winner, the situation has probably happened to someone else.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 33/100 My Time 182 seconds  

Sounds like a disenfranchised liberal "journalist" taking a piss. Summarized: The entire world is F'ed up and it's probably Trumps fault. Everybody hates everybody!!!

Just a few Fiery But Peaceful protests. Nothing to fret about during The Summer Of Love.

Just add to the dog-pile of I Hate Russians, Chinese, Nigerians, Middle Easterners, Yanks, Iranians, Indians.

Note that "white" had to be included. Had the perp been non-white, the media would be all hush-hush. In reality ethnicity doesn't have anything to do with anything other then it stirs the chaos pot that the media loves to keep cooking.

TURP is brutal and I've seen too many bad outcomes. However, the options for surgery and competent surgeons are few and far between here in Thailand. If I ever decide to go the surgery route I'd go with laser surgery, but only with a surgeon who has a lot of these surgeries under his belt and can provide patients who would provide testimonials. Imho, surgery is the last option. Not the first for mild BPH.
