I've been checked only once and that was some "under cover policeman" with fake ID he flipped shortly in front of me. I think it was some 2005-ish? some areas of Bangkok were/are raided regularly, indeed. But even that areas police never insisted on original passport. I've seen apartments with those copies attached to the doors - so police won't bother banging, talking etc. I think the good solution from carrying original document is color copy and hires scan on you phone. black and white is so out of fashion nowadays.

Just quick question reg. non-thai sellers at JJ: At the pet section there are bunch of shops run by some ugly Middle Asian men. For decades! Are they khun thai? I don't think so! However running small biz at JJ can be quite profitable for some, but there's a lot of "politics" to take care. My friend used to sell singing birds there

According to Amy Chua's book "Day of Empire" the dutch used to be an Empire. Well, in her means they concurred quite a lot. I wonder how to take this story than? As a farce or as a rebirth of influential world power?

Kinda freaky dude. However he will be popular in jail for sure by the name Paulina or Polly shortly.

Nasty fever. Had it twice over 5 years. No antibodies were developed, funny huh? Amazing how taste changes: regular water tasted like sewage, beer was the worst. Insomnia etc. Nasty.

Always leave review. If it's good place I'm happy to share it. If it is not - they should not even open it. Don't care: hotel, service center or hospital. If they can't handle reviews then pull their shop from google maps.

yet they didn't find his **nis. mysteriously vanished.

Wonder what they will be doing next week..., planting rice? Perhaps milking urban buffalos?

It's completely up to your karmic luck. Some dumb <deleted> might browse through your passport pages, but generally not. I used to know man who changed his debit card in Bangkok Bank without showing his passport (he was on millennial overstay: entered LOS before XXI century and never left). It's pure luck or rather being unfortunate loser.

#LOL ???? who/what is surrounding Bangkok? [even when father is english speaking farang] offspring barely uses google.translate.

I thought they got DNA recogn. technics since that hairy detective woman found traces of slaughtered woman parts in the sewage of Hyatt in Bangkok. That was quite a story, if anyone remembers ) Also, hospitals are offering DNA tests for pregnant for missing chromosomes.

"the tumultuous altercation" well, nice turn ) and the invisible bill of 1975thb

The "guessing game" continues: he didn't pay for his booze; he refused to pay for booze he didn't order; he'd been cheated; he insulted the owner; he said something about guard's mother; he violated waitress's private parts; he said something about Putin while the owner was Russian oily-garkh; the owner was instead Ukrainian relative to Babulinski; the owner was %whoever% yet he personally hates Russians; that was a gay go-go and ______________ (use your imagination). But the actual story is simple: tourist got beaten by group of thai men. No matters what race, ethnicity or citizenship of the victim. Even ____________ (use your imagination again).

Well, if he will play his cards right he would see something not less than $10K in compensations. It will take time, yes, but at the end the judge will be on his side. It is amazing how some people think that there's no law and they are allowed to "punish" on their own. PS: Unless some A--hole will scare him and tell that the best thing to do is "run-run-reu-reu". ^^^ so-called "volunteer".

I'm sure its completely up to the teller/officer at any given bank. Many times I saw Great White Farangs from somewhere between Greece and UK being rejected for mere reasons: arrogant, mean, stinky, agitated. Thais have very low threshold of patience.

Take it to Pantip Plaza and ask to fix it: "something slow" - they can destroy to unrepairable levels anything! Talking about restoration: there were few really nasty stories exactly what one can find on tossed laptops.

Exactly, story of my life.

raping a child for 4 years and the only problem was is that she got pregnant? Otherwise "nitnoy koday?" This is sickening

Lets make this story clear: There are so-called "trading websites" as well as casinos and alike. To participate khun thai got to deposit money somewhere somehow, right? For that purpose proprietors of such businesses used hundreds of bank accounts - to facilitate transactions. So unlucky "gamblers" decided to do a cute trick: after losing their funds they demanded "refund". And this couple was stupid enough to give their ID or Bank accounts to owners of those "funny" sites. [I heard that its about THB1.000 per account and some 0.1% per transaction]

Unfortunate single lady (30+) keeps giving me bananas. In bulk: huge branch (shaft?) of bananas. But she also has a persian cat with cohones removed and that's scares me. What should I do?

Still better looking than last year cow PS: Is it genuine thai, not a luk-kruang?

Game Development is the high risk biz. $0.5M is quite humble investment, friend works in this venture business and he claims at least a million needed. Yes it might bring helluva return, but still it might flop. That "golden boy" should explain these things before he took money. Poor management & extreme greed indeed

Irrelevant what she says. I've seen so many alco stories, ruined families so NO she won't quit. Live your own life and forget about her. The fun (with her booze endeavors) is still ahead and you don't want to witness it.

Not a scam, rather thai style of facing problems: stick your head into sand. What might happened is development of the project went banana, money was lost, the "game that will make us all rich" didn't begin. And the hysterical panic starts. Poor management, poor investment and extreme careless greed. FYI: Binance delisting coins almost daily.
