Bow your head with great respect
yes, but seriously very strict. Although Mahavira is the greatest role model. Not to follow but to learn and study.

True religion should bring joy, explain strange things and forgive our stupid acts. The only one fits is Hare-Krishna.

Thai PM Tackles Overstaying Tourists with Visa-Free Scheme Revamp
+100. My guess every second kindergarten in the town near Bangkok employs illegal native speakers. Summer camps at Cha-Am - same, how they could change it if Thais are abusing it? Besides, that super-duper electric database of arrivals and departures - does it really work?

Police Dismantle Illegal Digital Asset Exchange Network Worth Over 14 Billion Baht
That is nice bust! I'm bloody happy for Police officers who became uber-rich in one peaceful bust. and not so happy for smart-a$$ farangs who used those "p2p" exchanges to fund their local bank accounts. Crypto Phantom! I wonder how much was "cleared"?

Phuket police bust Russian woman in prostitution crackdown
Seriously foreign prostitution is something like an ice cream on the floor at the rest room: used to be attractive and sweet yet now is kinda nasty even disgusting. Meanwhile her pimp should take care of her. I don't think she was brave enough to work solo.

I can't even open a bank account in Thailand but yet I'm expected to pay Thai tax?
What agent can (could) do to open an account for the third person not being there during so-called "opening procedure"? The branch that allows something like this is in very-very deep pool of <deleted>! Any inspection will follow mass closures of such accounts w/o BS and niceties. "No Tourists" regulations was enforced in April'23. If an agent can open an account w/o presence at the Bank why won't he open 10 accounts using "patient's" credentials and sell them to some scammers?

You met a Thai lady on one of the popular dating sites, now what...
Jokes aside, but I met a dude at his middle 20s, he met his very pretty GF online, flew to BKK and they are living happy for 3-4 years (my guess). Nice bloke, unfortunately he dropped everything in AU and works as teecha Jay, but yes. Magic is happening sometimes.

Bank trouble after buying crypto - need real help
P2P is not an "exchange transaction". Like I buy something from the poster at AN doesn't make it as "I bought at AN" You'd transferred money to some bank account that might me on the "watch list". Good for you! Now you're on that list. And that is not "private list" - it is being shared within Thai banks security systems. The only right thing to do is to close that account asap. Lawyer? Are you going to sue the Thai bank? FYI: You might financed some terrorist group or launder some bloody money. You'll never know.

Camerata's Guide To The Permanent Residence Process
Nice! I also heard stories like this "he paid 1M and got it", even mentioning governor of one of the provinces. But as one Uzbek mogul said - "I'll give you 1.5M just get it to me!" and that was end of the story. We all know the guy who knows the guy ...

Camerata's Guide To The Permanent Residence Process
Over last 3 decades I haven't met any successful case of PR for working more than 3 years. Probably due to the types of Co.Ltd. But at least 5 guys tried hard to get it and they all failed. 2 guys paid <deleted> load of money to "agents". Failed sama-same. However one old chap from UK got it (I think he didn't even sweat) with endorsement from KMUTT. Ph.D

6.2" tall, nice manners, about early 50s. Nice polite thai language. I have no idea what was wrong with him. He gravitates misfortune.

Why haven't you learned Thai even after several years as an expat in Thailand?
Arrogance vanished after third year in TH. I found myself deaf and dumb ding-dong who made not a slightest effort to communicate with locals. Seriously Thai is not that difficult to learn, just need good/experienced teacher and home work. Few language schools in BKK are taking learning thai very seriously. Well, I don't have much practice with written thai, but I do my best to communicate with locals in thai.

If you've been rejected from more than a dozen branches than it is a conspiracy against you or something about you. What is your citizenship? I used to know one bloke who couldn't buy simple pain killer at any drug store. Maximum they gave him paracet. Very nice and well educated man, but there was something that repelled thais

Russian Tour Guides in Hot Water Amid Phuket Police Sting
Yep. Just some puny work as import-export managers at agro industry, construction, food and some precious stones and jewelry. Not many, right? Our village neighbor's son doing some useless activity with fertilizers from RU, young man get paid about 5K/month + social + bonuses. Tourism is for bored housewives or hobby for retired extraverts.

Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
Strange places some are living: great white conquerors, some pure racist attitude and visionaries from remote villages of North-Eastern Thailand. If some use the term "farang" for his/her convenience than let them have it. Why bother? Suddenly some young bloke from RU teaches linguistics at Phuket? Good for him, he got his 3 minutes of fame. OMG! 12 pages of bashing? Amazing
