How do they qualify to such position? What is there legal status? I met pure farang-ding-dong showing his RTP belt and proclaiming "Chonburi Police!". What is there purpose? Help to extort money for BiB? Act as "assistants" to negotiate with foreign tourists in their tongue? None speak basic thai neither able to read and write - who need them?

"I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me"

somebody is pushing full fledged war. again. "generals gather in their masses/like a witches at black masses"

well-known scam. Modelling schools, agency "tips" etc. There are still idiots that believe modelling biz works this way. Nope, there's another way ...

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 134 seconds  

wow! a minute! what a patience. I clicked after 40 seconds. utter cr*p!

On the second thought why would I care? You appear to have some ultimate knowledge on condos development in thailand after the big crash. Cool, right?

Seriously DON'T DO IT! I was naive (rather stupid) back in 1999. Moved to another place, later rent a house and could sell in 7 years (SEVEN) for about 60% of what I paid. In USD value even cheaper.

nope, if they found the way to make enough money to arrive and stay in Phuket that means they are smart enough to stay away from conflicts. They might think that is OK to act in such way, that it is NORM. So do them a favor and explain IT IS NOT. I saw very small lady convincing a bunch of drunk Koreans to leave swimming pool area late evening. And you all know Koreans are the most vicious bastards in the World. They could turn into berserk mode instantly. Yet she was nice and very kind. 10-something minutes and they left.

The history of pogroms were far darker than what you saw in "The Fiddler on the Roof". Crazy villagers burnt down jewish households, massive rapes and slaughter. Something shouldn't happened but did. No, not a proper use of such term at all.

That is very rude. I wouldn't tolerate such behavior - just let them know that after 8PM no loud music, no boom boxes allowed. Doesn't matter what they think - be polite and firm. It works almost on all 2-legged creatures (except very pissed brits who played and sung Sex Pistols tunes - got the pictures, right?). Next - get phone # of nearest police station and call them. It is public disturbance, typically it is a crime.

Hey, they talk about Russians like some unter-mensch, under-humans. My neighbor from Belgium and he is the real racist - the way he talks about Americans and Canadians is very rude and obscene. Based on his experience I guess. But what experience those couch-gurus had with Russians? Rambo and cheap-a$$ thrillers of 80-s? Somebody lost money? Bad Investment? Spent time in their prison? Nothing, just need some enemy to hate and feel superior: "Fookin Ruskies!" Ok. good for you. Feel better now? I'm free from this sh*t.

Manila? The city that was flooded up to its teeth last week? Good idea! Marcos didn't even hesitate selling Philippines to Americans.

Absolutely! The whole idea of TM30 requirements is nonsense. If evil foreigner wish to stay in Thailand under radar he will find the way. Thousands are here on huge XXX overstays and don't give a flying banana about it. But no, I have to pay to agent or waste whole day in that <deleted>hole waiting for "attendance" Last time it took almost 9 hrs door to door trip!

Wikipedia says the correct name is "pierogi". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi

some 10+ years ago (more I think) McFaul wrote a book about his endeavors as an US Ambassador in Moscow. The book became total flop and to prevent it to go "all for $0.99" he pushed some "anti-russia hysteria" on twitter. It didn't help with his cr*ppy stories, but at least resulted in that banner above. I don't feel threatened by Russians, some are funny some are not, got nothing to do with them: big county, oil, nukes, vodka, pirogy.

she will loose a lot of money on greedy lawyers soon. btw, why $50 bills not $100? less convenient IMO

Because Stalin and they are coming! Wasn't it obvious? McFaul wrote a book why it is bad news.

wrapped in white clothes same day. Why?

At CW some brit girl was denied 90 days registration for this reason: "no TM30 papers". Looked very upset, esp. after waiting for about 6+ hours.

Good point. very rich American moron.

Probably. I only see tourists in Tesco buying rolls and booze - so they stay in their rooms dining. Seems they can't afford restaurants. I wouldn't generalize, got nothing to share and do with them.

Stopped since New Year and stopped full time. What a wasted years and money! And time! And if you think you're funny and entertaining when you're drunk - no, you are not. Jan 2nd was a eye-opening epiphany, not a drop of beer ever since.

Haven't seen any at my area. make it clear - there are original tourists for 10-14 days of "fun in Siam" and long-stayers for "let me stay here until it's over". I think the subject is about original tourists, who bought package tours and don't really care about "how to rent a condo" in Phuket or Pattaya. I don't think Thailand is a good destination for Russian long-stayers - too many obstacles

lets get things straight: Kamala's husband is a jew who proudly attached mezuzah to their residence at White House. who wouldn't? that freaky heavily tattooed girl is his daughter he dropped (abandoned) for toothy jamaican-indian prosecutor. and she's pro-palestinian and anti-Israeli activist? Too much for mezuzahs, don't you think?
