He will (or he might) receive ban either way. Why airport is better? Just out of curiosity

First time I can't see buildings about 1km away from our house - the air just too polluted. Scary, seriously

Yes, I met one "dude" who claims he can "remove anybody from ban" for mere 100K. With his Eastern European accent and Rolex replica, yes, sure-sure! Just as little thai woman (about 50-soon) that claims she can arrange Thai residence permit for 1M. I met her with my friend at CW. Unbelievable!

Stay away from agents - heard some ladies had bad experience with them. The right thing to do is do border run, pay 20K fine and pray for the mercy of IO

"if you can't find decent occupation in Thailand providing decent income than there's something very wrong with you" <<< I've been told by Ludwig von Y. some 1998 and everyday I can see that he was goddam right! saying that

they must be really, really dumb ))) #ROFL

"2 Estonians" - no need to read further ...

it might be UnionPay Chinese payment system, not VISA or MasterCard. Bangkok Bank is pushing customers to use it instead of VISA or MC. No, cannot use it BIC Yes, we allowed for online purchaes

We tried to threaten "landlord" with report to RD. No effect at all. Seems they got no fear ))) However "the thai landlord" and "farang" are different stories, no? dumb farangs who buys condoes as an "investment" are indeed dumb, if they don't study Thai taxation.

they disposes antibiotics like candies at kids parties. the most favorite is Amoxicillin. God have mercy!

Indeed and Immigration is very strict with it. "Please leave my county" - told very kind officer back then in Imperial Lard Prao.

The problem of this quiz is the definition of "sexual partner": Can be hetero- or don't matter? Even human or just a "partner"? State of mind? Intoxicated, stoned, high on <deleted>? Free or for bowl of rice? Or "russian style" 13,000 thb? Submissive or abusive? There are more than 50 shades of such partnership

Koreans are smoking in our condo and throwing cigarette's buds into swimming pool. Used to be nice place, not anymore. very clean and big pool it used to be. Now - not anymore with those chicken bones and buds

isn't 0.114 less than 0.5 ? All hail thai education! btw: since he is from that alco-country should he be forgiven?

Fat 49-er performing ping-pong show. Reminds me my ex-mother-in-law when she was intoxicated with moonshine.

N95 masks have nothing to do with original 3M N95 masks. I think these knockoffs produced everywhere in LOS and sold as "Real McCoys". China Town in BKK has bulk of them. pure rubbish. During SARS back then I ordered at Ebay few boxes and have can compare real one with COVID and latest. Rubbish!

1.06 AM is not "pre-dawn" "descended upon" - just like Holy Spirit did in Bible? ROFL

If anybody remember post-startups crisis of 98? Suicides were so common esp in MY. Those "unlucky" investors that lost everything.

Back in 98-99 there was Great Fidelity company that run Forex trading. Chinese and SG ownership and management. Rama VI road, green building. they screwed dozens of "investors" >>> nothing happened. However that Forex trading, as well as crypto and binary options are very dangerous and should be avoided and explained to average folks.

funny story: her relatives complained that greedy woman gambled her and her friends funds and lost it. Happens all over Thailand - they are well known gamblers. But no, it was all about some Rusky dude, crucify him (& all of them)! what a load of <whatever>

Living Blues, Creedence CLearwater Revival, Cream >>> can hear them again and again, but they didn't go that big as they should. Hendrix - sorry he left way too early, he was genius. Clapton was just great. "Double Trouble" as an example, decades later he released Money and Cigarettes is a masterpiece. Pink Floyd - Mr. Waters shouldn't pull his ego to the stratosphere - they were great together, why did they go solo? Pros and Cons of HitchHiking, Radio K.A.O.S., Amused to Death were great albums, but what Gilmore, Wright and Mason did were ____________ (sad words). Why Mr. Waters didn't do it with original Pink Floyd? And at last Mike Oldfield. He should rise higher than reissuing Tubular Bells over and over again. PS: Ian Anderson is huge!

And now lets make it tragic: I used to have a female friend (pretty looking young lady from Morocco) who run this business - plastic surgeries for "tourists" and made pretty good %. Since surgeons refused to do reassignments w/o letter from shrink her business sunk. Nope, that is not the tragic story. Here we go: Doing hormonal therapy (consuming contraceptive pills in bulk) kids seriously damage their head - often turn hysterical, irrational, obnoxious and PMS-like mood swings. That leads to higher than average suicidal rate. Without good counseling their mind often goes banana. Kids in high school take shortcuts and visit questionable underground clinics, buy hormones and so. So former khun Sombun visit local khet to "update" his/her ID is very confusing - it is still a man, that's why I think they must present some serious document justifying their request. I don't think it is an easy task, not that easy as khun Sombun wants to change his name to Joseph or Taksin on ID card.

sorry, I didn't make it clear. Ok, longer version: years ago anybody could get reassignment surgery, also almost any surgeon could perform such an operation, that led to confusing situations when M2F changed his mind for any reason - for ex. he was in stress and that was his revenge to his GF. Many other reasons - I really don't know, but ... Since than only licensed surgeon were able to do so and only after they shown the letter from psychiatrist who would verify from scientific ground that yes, he/she heeds surgical reassignment. Without that letter he/she can't even _________ (whatever). Hence I assumed that to change details in ID card there should be something more serious statement then "I feel like Madonna!" from some strange looking kid. PS: I don't find this funny and/or humorous. Not at all, quite opposite: I met heart-broken parents while here in BKK.

just a letter of attendance to the shrink

hardcore activists with iron bars and firebombs. Sure, they were prepared and waiting ... innocent young soldiers were beaten almost to death, their guns were taken, but they pronounced Tetragrammaton and got their guns back (from 50 hardcore activists and their softcore colleagues) and open fire. Humma Kavula ! PS: I think this topic goes nowhere. Suddenly open waters became a forbidden territory and most (one of) prepared commandos turn into a bunch of kittens (not exactly that word I mention). What I do remember that escalation between Turkey and Israel became so toxic and hot that US had to use secret special channels to calm down Erdogan from doing something bad.
