Back in the 80's my Thai wife and I knew a number of Thai medical doctors in the US. Most had come to the US for advanced training in their specialty. It seemed that after completing their training they would be hired on somewhere in the US to gain experience. One thing leads to another and after a few years they had pretty much put roots down in the US.

For whatever reason, he "fled the scene" as he didn't want his identity made known. Hopefully he was able to get medical attention to address his wound. Whether they would report this to the police or not is up to the policies and procedures of that medical facility.

Yes, I did this at the border crossing you mentioned in the title. It was about six years ago so that maybe a bit dated now. I was on a visa exempt at the time. Spent about 30 minutes there and then came back to Thailand. Paid my 500 baht and got another 30 days.

He's probably doing ok. Most likely shacked up in Pattaya with Lek, Noi, A, and Nit who all work at the same bar and share an apartment together. They just took him in like a stray cat and are looking after him now. He's also getting an education that he would never get back in Gateshead!

MTG continues to be an embarrassment to the Republican Party. She is way out there in la la land. It's no wonder her husband recently divorced her. He couldn't even stand her!

Why there was just a committee formed not too long ago that investigated prostitution in Pattaya and specifically around the Beach Road area. After their very thorough investigation they concluded that there was no prostitution in Pattaya. This recent police ban must be all a big misunderstanding.

Very sad news. I hope that the RTP can solve this case. RIP to the young man and hopefully the girl can be found unharmed.

Good luck to your friend. I hope that he can make a go of it.

I'll pass on that one! ????

Not really surprised that April is a lower month for international arrivals from all countries. Guess what, May just might be a low month for international arrivals as well. However, it's not all doom and gloom. I predict that in November and December there will be an uptick in international arrivals.

Everyone's lifestyle is different. I could live pretty well on $3000 a month, although not luxurious, in Bangkok as my house is paid off. For some people, that wouldn't even cover their rent in Bangkok.

Ouch! Sorry to hear it has been so bad. It didn't used to be like that. I'll be there in December. Bought a house there a long time ago not too far from the main train station but I really don't spend much time there anymore.

Hey Khun LA, your location says Prachuap Khiri Khan. Are you living in the city of PKK? How is the air quality there?

I don't know about that. Today in Phuket on one website it said that the air quality was 135. Another had it right now as 72 which is moderate. https://www.iqair.com/us/thailand/phuket

Is this guy one of the big spending, high quality tourists that the Thai government is trying to attract?

#5 Affordable Housing. The article states that "Foreigners are able to purchase property in Thailand, and there are a variety of options available including houses, townhouses, and condominiums making it a lucrative opportunity to retire in Thailand." This is very misleading as foreigners cannot just go out and buy a house as they would in their home country. Yes, you can buy a house but there are a lot of additional requirements you will have to have taken care of to make yourself eligible to purchase that house.

I have taken bicycles on trains from Bangkok to Nong Khai as well as Surat Thani and Ayutthaya numerous times since back in the 90's. I never had a problem. Even easier now with the internet.

Just a couple of questions. Was the crowd cool with her taking off her shoes and throwing them into the first few rows? If the word "like" was removed from her vocabulary would she be able to form a coherent sentence?

Bangkok is much safer than many cities in the West night or day. Women still need to be careful, especially at night and walking in dark sois.

Lot of hate on this forum for this guy from a bunch of most likely old AN members. I've never watched his YT channel but I do know who he is. Just not that interested in his content. The guy is very successful at what he does. Good for him. I know that those in the LDS faith are strongly encouraged to marry within the same faith. I wonder if his ex and current GF are LDS?

Myanmar has been forgotten by the world. So many atrocities committed in that country yet the Thai government turns a blind eye to it.

From the Pattaya News article, "He said the man allegedly did not take good care of his dog, having let it bark and defecate in public areas." What is so unusual in Thailand about that? About 90% or more of the dogs in Thailand.

Low level criminals who are represented by public defenders use this same tactic. Even those with lengthy criminal records. But yes, I get what you are saying.

I will not be attending any of her concerts even if I got the tickets for free. I heard they are starting at 13,000 baht?
