You're defending bibi's smoke screen.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:33:54 +0000That was over a year ago, so I'd say the last thing you want to be doing is going there to rub in a mistake they may have made in April 2025 and to expect them to refund the fine. You would have needed to challenge the fine right away, and as you didn't even know that it was unjustified at the time, just let it go. Lesson learned though.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:31:24 +0000AgriculturalThu, 04 Jun 2026 00:30:48 +0000Do you really think that 51% (and controlling interest) is owned by Thais, who invested their own money? I'm not the obtuse one in this story. That's been an open secret in Pattaya since long before I darkened the shores of Thailand in 2011.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:30:26 +0000Way back in my college days, I roomed with this guy who looked like a Viking god. I, skinny nerd. He considered himself a great seducer. But we had about the same batting average when it came to girls. One day he asked me how I was so good at getting girls. My answer: "I just ask!" Tell her you are aware of the age difference and that you are attracted to her, and if she would be into going out and getting to know each other better. If she refuses the invite, just smile, and say you understand.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:30:15 +0000You comment otherwise ?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:28:30 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:28:11 +0000I liked how BPs headline was "tourists" not 'Thai Tourists'. They know how to butter their bread in this latest outbreak of ‘Farang He Evil’ media campaign. That said, if it is not directly related to Thai history, or what they consider Thai history, locals don’t seem to care much about it. I remember them cutting up Portuguese cannons from the 1500's they found up to make amulets to sell. Powerful magic in that old metal and no one seemed to care they were pretty historic artifacts.

If you obtain those documents and keep them safe in one place as an ongoing effort, there's no issue at all. If you cannot find evidence of a property sale from say five years ago and need to hunt it down, on the other hand, expect delays. I've known some people who had to leave Thailand in such a hurry that their only option was to use their Thai ATM cards abroad after they've left. That was years ago though, I'm not sure if Thai banks wouldn't be much more trigger-happy to freeze a card used in such a way nowadays.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:22:05 +0000Yes I do (and have posted elsewhere). They acted appallingly and have apologised. The independent police enquiry will hopefully establish whether handcuffing Henry was a result of 'racism' or a genuine misunderstanding. Once the officers realised their mistake, they took appropriate action, although regrettably it was too late.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:20:00 +0000Should the thread title be "49% owner" instead... or are you just being obtuse for the sake of it ?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:19:16 +0000Depends on what your definition of having a good time is.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:19:02 +000035 percent now.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:18:01 +0000It was of course the Buddha amulet that saved him 😋Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:16:13 +0000To say Communism sucks! is a personnel opinion, the ideology that advocates for the abolition of private property and the establishment of a classless society IMHO is a good thing ! would it work NO !!Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:15:50 +0000Trump turns everything he touches to Excrement; 250 anniversary or World Cup.

Russia is not, The country transitioned to a multi-party system and a capitalist, market-based economy following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:06:59 +0000We have a long ways to go beat your legacy.

As I understand it, that area is underwater for most of the year, and is only accessible during the dry season when they draw down from the dam. How much additional damage can they do?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:02:40 +0000Please be respectful to other members, and leave the inciteful hate talk at the login page.
