fusion58 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 That’s nice, but what do all the ordinary schmoes who spend their hard-earned dough in the sandbox get? A poke in the eye with a sharp stick? BTW, I wonder if ol’ Russell had to apply for a COE and do time in an ASQ hotel? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine somebody else filled in the visa paperwork for the cast and crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTB1977 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 What choice does he have. He up set the electric company a few weeks ago by saying something about all the wiring in the air. So I'm sure his managers warned him he may end up in jail if you criticizes anything here in thailand. Like a hotel,restaurant, government, business or company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
