Tourists Ignore Police in Patong: Drag Locked Motorbike Through Streets
Tourists should all go to another country! Stop coming to Thailand. Then the government would all cry. Too many tourists? Not enough? No Chinese?.Russians are bad? Stop coming teach Thailand a lesson. -

Tourists Ignore Police in Patong: Drag Locked Motorbike Through Streets
If these are genuine offences being committed by tourists, grab them, tear up there visa, regardless of category and put them on the next plane home. Thailand doesn't need this. Westerners that are genuinely residing there either married to a Thai National or on retirement visas don't need this. They come to Thailand for a nice life. I'm in the process of moving there with my Thai wife as I write this. -

Why all the negativity?
I don't know why people express dislike and upset by your posts. They should just scroll down like most people without reading your posts and move on -

".cc" scam?
This is a new scam going around the US, especially now that Christmas is upon us, but it could easily spread to Thailand and the rest of the world: Beware of Brushing Scam! A recent scam has been showing up in many states. We have not had any local reports but want to make residents aware before you are victimized. A "brushing" scam is when someone receives an unexpected gift or item not ordered in the mail from a place like Amazon or other company. Examples of gifts include, rings, bracelets, necklaces, Bluetooth speaker, etc. The gift will have the recipient’s address but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift. Once the code is scanned, all the information from that phone will be sent to scammers. They receive all access to the phone. All personal and financial information is accessible to the scammers and often the victim's bank accounts are drained. The gift can be kept or thrown away, but the QR code should NOT be scanned for any reason. QR code scams are nothing new. These scams show up in all places, including parking meters. Inform your family members about the scam and avoid scanning any unknown QR codes included in the package. -

Pattaya Beach Swarms with Tourists; Locals Voice Concerns
Glad you left the Yanks out of the first initial group of foreigners. Perhaps Gavin Newsome, Governor of California can come over and supervise a bullet train from Naklua to Na Jomtien. -

Do Thais really attack foreigners for no reason?
Of course, violence occurs here. It would be naive and overly simplistic to think otherwise. The perception of Thais as universally benevolent, wholesome, and peaceful is an unrealistic stereotype. Like people everywhere, Thais are human, capable of both kindness and conflict. To dismiss this reality is not only naive but also highlights a failure to understand the complexities of any society. A glance at the news reveals numerous reports of violent incidents, with a recurring pattern: the triggers often appear trivial, yet situations escalate with shocking speed, sometimes culminating in fatal outcomes. This isn’t unique to Thailand but is a stark reminder of how unpredictability can manifest anywhere and it often does so here in Thailand. That said, I still consider Thailand to be safer than many other places. Personally, I rarely feel threatened here. However, it would be equally naive to assume foreigners are entirely immune to danger. While rare, random and unprovoked attacks on foreigners do occur, as documented in the news. These incidents underscore the importance of staying vigilant and respectful, regardless of perceived safety. Additionally, the adage "familiarity breeds contempt" seems particularly relevant in areas with high tourist traffic. These environments often foster a double-edged stigma where impolite behavior from both tourists and locals can contribute to friction and misunderstandings. Such dynamics naturally lend themselves to more frequent confrontations, where fault often lies with both parties. So, yes, Thais do occasionally attack foreigners without provocation, but such incidents are uncommon. Far more common are altercations triggered by seemingly trivial disputes, where minor misunderstandings or actions escalate into significant confrontations. -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
And anyone any idea what exactly will be shared? As I'm really bad at tax stuff, can someone explain this to me as if I were 10 years old? I personally don't mind that something will be shared, but I at least would like to know what exactly, or else my personal information will be shared without my knowledge, which is something no one should be comfortable with. -

Progressive Lens Prescription
My best guess, it was one of the cheap chain stores, and no Dr. Where are you located? I got one store with an optician in Hua Hin, and also one in Pattaya who have done proper testing, and also have upto date equipment.
