Random Immigration Checks
Had a visit in Ubon province the other day, 3 guys turned up...no uniform, no police car, so my wife was suspicious and rang the local cop station but all was above board. They had 4 or 5 A4 pages with about 12-15 names on each page so quite a list to check. Just looked at my passport, ticked my name and left. -

Is Sharia Law next?
Why would I when my employment and then my business has been here for 30 years? Sorry what is your comment trying to prove? I can't comment on the country I grew up in, most of my family and childhood friends live in, and that I visit several times a year because I earn my living and have a family in Thailand? You want me close my business and move back to make you happy? -

Crime Swedish Man Beaten by Girlfriend & Mob of 10 Men in Soi Buakhao, Pattaya
Guys who have lived here for a long time, you are just blind. Pattaya has changed after Covid. Thais in Pattaya are just full of hatred towards foreigners (most likely it is either because of stress before the Covid fuss or out of anger that they did not earn enough money). They need any small reason to pounce on a foreigner with their fists in a crowd. There was a poll recently about how safe Pattaya is. Opinions were divided 50/50. I think the Swedish man from the video could be the guy who claimed that Pattaya is safe. Ahaha. Do an experiment: go up to a group of motorcycle taxi drivers in Pattaya, show one the middle finger, a second later they will pounce on you with fists. Normal people first tried to figure out what the problem was. Maybe you were wrong, maybe you are crazy. If not, they would show you the middle fingers in response and kick you out, but they would not beat you. I'm not exactly sure, but there is nothing illegal/criminal about the middle finger. But the Thais in Pattaya are simply seething with hatred towards foreigners. In the recent news about beatings of foreigners by Thais in Pattaya, there was not a single case where attacks by Thais were justified! In most cases, you could just send him away. Also, the gangster criminal subculture is very widespread among Thai schoolchildren and teenagers now. They are grouped and divided into gangs. They like live a criminal life, thinking it's cool. As I understand this is about all Thailand now. This was the case in the early 90s in post-Soviet countries. And in the 70s in Tatarstan in the USSR. Tatarstan is basically the same Asia. And the processes that were there are damn similar to what is happening here now. Basically, the good news is that the blind boomers are get punched. Or maybe all the smart boomers have already left for the Philippines, and the blind fools are left here?! -

Report Thailand Tightens Alcohol Sales: New Rules Take Effect
It won't have any impact on tourism. The tourists who are staying at the local Marriott and paying 10,000 baht a day for their room and meals, will easily have access to a drink at the lounge. The long term tourists who are staying in a serviced apartment or condo rental will adjust their socializing hours, or just have their drink on their residence terrace. The majority of tourists who are physically active and/or here with their families, won't care, because they are here for the beach or golf. The majority of tourists who come from the middle east, SE Asia and China won't care either. The only people who will put up a stink are the low end western contingent and no one really cares about them.
