Thailand offers visa-free travel to Russian visitors for 3 months
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It will be a great day when this is extended to Europeans, Brits, OZ, NZ, and the Americas but hopefully it will be for 90 days anytime during the year. -
Moving older Thai children to the UK
Hanuman2547 replied to Rich888's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Bangkok Pattana out in Bangna uses a UK curriculum. It has been in Bangkok for over 30 years. There are others as well, and I think some are good, but I'm more familiar with Bangkok Pattana. -
Moving older Thai children to the UK
Hanuman2547 replied to Rich888's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
I did something similar to this but only slightly different. The kids were mine so they were luk krung. They attended very good Thai schools in Bangkok so they were academically ok with moving to the USA. They were almost 16 & 14 at the time and entered the 10th and 8th grades upon arrival in the USA. Their English was very good and had no accent. They had both US & Thai citizenship so there weren't any problems in that area. They adjusted very well to life in the USA and both completed university and have very good careers in IT and finance. If you cannot move right away to the UK then one of the international schools in Bangkok might be another option. You'll probably want to go with one that has a UK curriculum. Definitely do your research on that as some are very good and others just so-so. -
First off, the detained man should have been handcuffed with his hands behind his back. Then he should have been placed in a rear seat diagonally from the driver and placed in a seatbelt. As was shown above you need a police transport vehicle with a shield/wire mesh separating the front seats from the row behind the driver. The area where the detained person sits also needs to be made of hard plastic for a variety of reasons. Next, why are they transporting the detained person's mother? She should find her own way to wherever they are going. I can only speculate as to why she was being transported so I won't go into that. Basic LE principles seem to be lacking in the RTP which would have saved this officers life, injuries to others, and the damage to the police vehicle.

What's a reasonable price for a lady drink?
Hanuman2547 replied to TheFatOne's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
150 baht seems a fair price. The question is how long will it be until the girl is haranguing you for another drink? -
Phuket hotel boob: Portuguese guest’s topless strut causes chaos
Hanuman2547 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I'm surprised she hasn't gone to certain area of Phuket where there is a demand for women like her from a group of tourists that are interested in farang women. She would solve her financial difficulties very quickly. -
Is this good news or bad news?

The Pattaya Sports Club used to have a group of people that bowled on a weekly basis. I believe that it was a bowling league. You can check their website to see if the group is still going.

It's a sad state of affairs when the USA can only come up with these two old geriatrics to lead one of the most powerful nations in the world.

Western Engineer Assaults Pattaya Bar Women In Row Over Bill
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Maybe that is how you met your Thai wife, and that's fine, but I met my Thai wife back in the 80's when she was a graduate student in my home country. I had never been to Thailand until after we married. -
Myanmar seeks permission to land aircraft in Tak
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not really. In the world view this is just a minor blip on the radar. -
Western Engineer Assaults Pattaya Bar Women In Row Over Bill
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I always check the chit entering my bin cup after it is placed there. It does two things. It lets me keep a running total of my bill and lets the wait staff know I'm checking the bill every time a drink is served. -
Are Thai men getting tired of foreigners with thai women?
Hanuman2547 replied to Elkski's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Younger working expat farangs have been dating and marrying university educated middle class Thai women since the 80's and probably before. -
Thai passport for daughter
Hanuman2547 replied to lost_in_space's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Oops wrong office. I meant the passport division of the Dept. of Consular Affairs within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Thanks for the reminder! -
I watched it too. It was a good video. I wonder what the other doggie cafe is like?

Thai passport for daughter
Hanuman2547 replied to lost_in_space's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Every immigration office is different and gives different advice on these matters. I have had my kids renew their Thai passports and ID cards both in Thailand and abroad and always got contradicting information. Their Thai mother passed away when they were teenagers so I've been through this when they were under the age of 20. I did have their mother's paperwork such as a Thai death certificate and her last ID card as well as her old (and now expired) passport to help facilitate the various immigration officers. Good luck! -
House in wives / girlfriends name
Hanuman2547 replied to TigerCat's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
When my Thai wife passed away, our house in Bangkok and others elsewhere were then transferred to our oldest luk krung son who had just turned 20 and has Thai citizenship. It was fairly easy to do. -
Yes, I read it. It was a fairly good read about someone who had his supporters and detractors.

Picture of Israeli soldier holding Thai flag causes a stir
Hanuman2547 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Just some random, and randy, soldier thinking, "I wish I was over there with my new found teerak instead of slogging around Gaza". -
Plans for Thailand's first nuclear power plant
Hanuman2547 replied to george's topic in Thailand News
Until the Thais decide that they are no longer needed because, "we got this". It may be 2024 but some people in the government that oversee such projects are still stuck in the 1950's. -
Plans for Thailand's first nuclear power plant
Hanuman2547 replied to george's topic in Thailand News
This is not a good idea on so many fronts. These nuclear plants need a lot of maintenance, safety checks, and constant monitoring. Are the Thais willing to commit to this? I am not so sure. I feel that the next thing we will hear is "Thailand's first nuclear clean up" after a meltdown. -
Bangkok, as well as the rest of Thailand, was quite a different place back in the 80's when I first arrived and on into the 90's. I liked Trink's column, Postbag, Crutchly's column, and a few others. Today so much has changed and the city is very different.
