that is great to hear (well "to read"). Yes, education is like a gold this days. High value I used to know one wierd fella (through our common friend) who sent (is sending?) "licensed Thai massage therapists" to RU by dozens per week. Each head gives him $1K of profit and demand is still high. He is not really a Russian, rather Jew with dual citizenship. Maybe triple? They go to "parlor" and later being transfered to "boom-boom parlors". Funny is that they all very aware of their future occupation (he said) but it is "different timezone and nobody's watching" so mai pen rai. I met different types of criminals in BKK, but international pimp is too much, way too much.

Embassy has nothing to do with corpses, whatever Moscow, Berling or Machumba. and actually why do they have to do anything? Some "licensed Thai massage therapist" ended up far-far away from home. Unlucky (as thai ppl say)

Biden didn't (ever) mentioned his plans to reduce that 35T debt they don't care anymore just keep printing PS: last time it looked "close to serious" was Obamba vs. Boeher speech I wathed on TV. And that was pathetic.

New type of torture: naked Dr.Jil jumping on trampoline.

manners. lack of manners. personal insults and rude remarks. my "ignore list" contains more than 120 heads and this is too much, way too much!

100% agree. You've made a good point though

I think I still have that Mueller's report somewhere on the cloud. Since than I have very funny view on how they operate. Fearmongering is good converting into govt funding. Even (God forbids) McFaul wrote a book

they made some weird pill w/staggering dosage of Aspirin buffered with Mg(OH)2 <<< (that must be below (555)) as preventive medication for many cardio issues and prevent that nasty bleeding.

Once (20+ years ago) I visited thai travel agency owner - nice & sweet lady just to say "how are doing?" while passing nearby. Here's her story: She sent tourists to do sight-seeing in Bangkok and a standard (sic!) visit to Gems Galley which paid 15% commish. To her according to an agreement. But that smart German speaking tour guide was cleaver SOB and he also signed an agreement with Gems Gallery at 12% hence skimming money from her "commish" for more that a few months. Finally he resigned (yeah, in Thailand!) from her company and bought nice house back in his province. He reported to her they didn't buy a zinch at Gems Gallery for the reason beyond his comprehension. But somehow the truth reveled itself. She was devastated and full of tears: "How he could do that to me???? He was like a brother (yeah, typical) and got 1500 thb for each day!"

Same in Bangkok. AFAIK Chinese and Koreans for sure. I even heard there're auctions running for a buses w/tourists for a day. And than they have to squeeze their money back. Look at JTC - there are lots of them (tours with guides)

my apologies. too much sarcasm might be taken "out of context". but yet, that was a good question: How to define safe city/place?

Captain Obvious just landed to the Planet Earth! every megapolis is a criminal hub. even KL and Mogadishu. I think the Bangkok is very safe for ordinary farangs. But how to define "safe"? Walking at wee hours at Lard Prao's subsois, slums of Klong Toey, Yannawa - still sounds like a suicidal mission. But the same goes to Pattaya, Bangla and many places.

Indeed. I saw article about it in Bangkok Post back in 93rd and it already well known source of income.

KPN police is well known for "local assistants" - thais searching for any misconduct and reporting back. No secret they work for "share" of bribe. Say you want to sell 'shrooms at Full Moon Party? you'll need to contact them, agree on "installments" and God Speed. These 2 cases and just an example of very careless thinking.

why do they always confess/admit? What's wrong with them? you can see that thai dude laughing his *** off at such suckers. back in the old days one guy was caught with a loaded pistol, he denied and after few months he left a detention and immediately sued every officer arrested him. 1 resigned and 2 were transferred. And he got $$$ from others to close the case. But these ^^^^ ?

12K for cremation in BKK

Pharmacy near Huay Kwang market. Not sure was/is it Bayer's but sure they have it

sounds good! and they all admitted/confessed. and my cat blows fire. FYI: CCTV is about 500thb per camera in beloved Bangkok and cheaper in KPN High income IT? what is so "information" in attaching cameras to the wall?

Even Moslim or G*d forbid christian jews? There are so many, can say "50 shades of jew". But I assume there much more than 50 I even knew one ladyboy pimp who was that one ^^^

Yes, that was their crypto encoded message: "pink top now!"

I would start to changing color of notebook to pink. Worked for my wife

20K /month for villa on the slope at Bo Put ?! In beloved Bangkok you can't get even decent 2 rooms & kitchen flat for less than 25K and THIS for 20K only?

another dumb comment from the guy with the biggest pupils and cry-baby face. but that's correct - RT is impossible to watch. the worst example of "how to manage TV broadcaster". used to like France24 but it also turn into replica of Euronews.

true. true. how true! I could not hide it anymore and asked her not to come to Bangkok again. She drove me nuts for no reasons whatsoever. Honestly and no details.

My THX went into trash with few months.
