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.

I met guy who used to work as a "manager" of RU-Go-Go in PTT. So nicely he explain to me the structure of biz. His job was only to watch and manage girls also placing adv. on Facebook and chatting with potential dancers. Late afternoon - until last customer, no relations no drinks no drugs. $2K/month He saw the owner only few times a month and never saw police officers inside his go-go. So basically HR Manager of late evening entertainment place. That's even boring to talk. But there's some VIP Crazy Parties with Crystal champagne, lights and lasers - organized by Russians. That Is Crazzzzzy !

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.

There's some super heavy wooden planks - I think 18K/meter. That would be perfect to build a speaker enclosure/boxes. Very challenging but I can assure you it is very cool and nobody can afford real ones

I could manage THX (well Dah 6.2) incl. amps and even filters for tweeters and woofers over there back when Panasonic made first 5.1 DVD player (from Japan). Now it looks silly but back then I was so excited! PS: as well as my neighbors. Not!

that's a brilliant point! Indeed cannot

Hmmmm... how about some dril? But start with Bang Mo good idea! I've been there almost every week long time ago. Lovely place.

I thought you know about China Town and Speaker area there?

Once I was at Jewelry Trading Center when Imm. Police had a raid for "illegals". What amazes me how did those "traders" act toward officers. They treated them like "hey-boys" like tuk-tuks or similar Meantime at tourist places [Phangan within] foreigners scare sh*tless of anybody in uniform. PS: my personal observation, might be wrong

Sorry I missed your question. Translation and "notarization" was about 3K (17 years ago) But Thailand didn't ratified some weird Int. Agreement and SunBelt Asia's paper would bare no weight outside of TH That's why I was advised to use MOFA too

TH makes people very lazy, they loose that "stamina" and "drive" This is "sabai-sabai" country. I knew one man who was so happy to finally move from TH with his family to CA just to work as Pizza delivery courier. Here he had an agency, house and big black sedan

Rather "uber-smart" and tricky. According to my experience they always have a bunch of cards up their sleeve. We just don't exactly what was his game, but I'm sure there's something lurking in the shadows.
