Pit bull attack in Bangkok market sparks safety concerns
I mean to say that whenever I see them I consider as possible threat. Like a gangs - you're not going to shoot them but consider they might find you "interesting" and you'll have to take certain measures. and I don't like this "feelings" at all. Yeah! now I know where did I see you! btw, I noticed that area around Korean (Samsung) Embassy absolutely free from any canine life forms. Why so?

Pit bull attack in Bangkok market sparks safety concerns
Nope, jv, farangs can't shoot anything in Thailand - too complicated and often not very legal. My point is that "any free roaming mutt is a possible threat to me" and the last thing I want to do is to get "scared sh*tless of water" and other "exciting" features from stupid/well-trained/family companion/child loving mongrel.

no, in Bangkok.

I'd rather be a bit more pro-active: if I see a free roaming mutt I consider it a legit target. Don't want to wait until it decides to attack me or whatever might get into its dumb skull.

Russian Man Arrested for Carrying Fake Euros in Chonburi
there were fella from Kazakhstan (well another name of Russia's border states, so basically Russian) who was so lazy he installed skimmer on the ATM in the same building he lived. Just went once a day to read data from flash card, made copies and went to party with girls for the rest of the day. another one somehow modified LATAM old cruzeiros into Deutche Marks (long ago) in Amari Watergate, he was really surprised when RTP came to arrest him.

Russian Man Arrested for Carrying Fake Euros in Chonburi
AFAIK all fake euros are coming from (who would imagine?) Europe, mostly those dwarf states. Just as EU & US passports (fake one, not from KS Road) are coming from the Promised Land. That info was from some really freaky dealer from Middle East. He was in business since middle of 90s. Could arrange anything, real super connected man.

Is it better to buy or rent property in Thailand as an expat?
Another thing: some "landlords" might rent their "properties" to weirdos like a flock of Indians whose nice sari-wearing wives cooked all the time some uber-stinky food at the doorstep so the wind will blow the stanch away ... into corridor and into everybody's rooms. On the floor above there was a penthouse of Russian pimp and in the evening ugly looking "working girls" from Eastern Europe were having fun at the clean and cozy swimming poll. Those "budget" versions with hair bleached to the "piss in the snow" color. Later Koreans came. Those threw fags from their balconies into that pool. Nice? It used to be nice and sweet condo but at the turn of the century it turned into <deleted> hole. If you rent the place like this you just leave it, screw the deposit. But when you own it - its an instant freak show. PS: before 9/11 I had a bunch of strange looking neighbors living next door. I guess at least 6 in the studio of 37 sq.m.?! Speaking very loud and always late. Guess their ethnicity? It took me forever to sell that flat and I lost min. 200K. ROI my a$$!

I was stupid enough to buy nice flat in BKK. Condo was good, management was good and still is, but - it is an anchor over your neck and you will never will be able to sell at the same price. Also about ROI - you're not allowed to play landlord, don't listen to those "passive income" BS Obviously - NOT BUY

Pattaya Tourist Police Volunteers Undergo Training to Protect Tourists Ahead of High Season
What that proud "fist in the air" means? Is it something from Geguevara times? Or add for some AV flick? They all are smiling - so rather latter than something revolutionary. Well, kinda nasty. I've heard stories about money extortion by these cowboys as policemen often can't request by themselves. Nasty people

The Curtain Falls: Russia’s YouTube Ban and Its Impact on Society
you can't deny what people want to watch. Period. Big Daddy is just an a**hole. Iron curtain doesn't work in XXI century. besides, the sales of VPN is booming, never seen it before. same time >>> RU officials are posting on FB, Instagram and Twitter [fooking] daily. how do they do it, if those are "banned"? kids are watching cartoons, ladies are watching cooking shows, we all are watching The Who and The Doors. Very small communities will find the way how to overcome it, but why whole nation? You do know how much money were invested in promoting videos on Youtube. All wasted. Some restaurants paid $$$ and its gone. What a f**k up!
