Teen motorcyclist dies after being hit by truck at traffic stop
Thats ok - its another area we differ - I wouldn't consider it going very far at all to call you such a thing... in fact its no stretch at all. -

Extension of stay under consideration _ confused
No. Under consideration period basically means your extension has been approved. Just return to immigration for final stamp. You will not be on overstay -

30 Year Old Painter Falls to His Death from 49th Floor of High-Rise Building
It will be pathetically low without doubt. Especially as he's not Thai. -

Teen motorcyclist dies after being hit by truck at traffic stop
The accurate information as reported: The driver said "He was going to fast to stop in time".... Regardless of the flaws in the road design, he was going too fast to stop.... and consequently killed someone..... So... he was either speeding, or driving too fast for the road conditions / visible area of road. When you kill someone because you were driving drunk, you'll probably blame poor road lighting not your impaired reactions. The 'Troll accusation' is often levied at you, because no one believes someone is actually that stupid, thus, the thought is that you must be on the wind-up (trolling people) - once it is realised that you are not trolling, there is one simple remaining conclusion. -

When it's actually easier to steal than to be honest, what to do?
Had a similar dilemma a couple of weeks ago. Bought some ham/cheese croissant from seven eleven, 32 baht. Gave them a 1000 baht note, got 968 baht change, all good left, ate croissants. When i checked my wallet later, saw the receipt. it was for change from 100 baht, not 1,000 baht. I did consider going back to the 7/11, but thought, if i say i got 968 baht change, but show my receipt is for 100 baht, they might insist i pay them the 900 baht difference! felt a bit guilty, but it was not my fault. -

I wouldn’t go as far to call you an idiot. Just a bit gullible and easily believing everything you read from any source without thinking it through logically and perhaps a bit naive. And you do carry on a bit. -

Extension of stay under consideration _ confused
Hello everyone, I was on business visa for 3 months when entering thailand 3 months ago. Me and my company prepared and went to the immigration office one month before my visa expiry date. However, due to complex documents requests from the officer, we went back and forth during this whole one month for 5 times and I received "the extension of stay under consideration" stamp on my last day of visa expiration. So my question is that the day when the officer asked me to come again to immigration to get the extension of stay results was around 20 days past my visa expiration day already. Does it mean that I will be imposed with overstay charges? Thank you for your advices in advance. -

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
Agreed.... When I arrive in the UK its a 2 hr journey home... I rarely see anything silly !!! When I arrive in Thailand, its a 30 min journey home... I never 'do not' see anything silly !!! Other countries I visit are worse though... I've been driving in Thailand over 20 years now... it doesn't really bother me even when something riles me and gets me angry, it passes quickly as this is 'Thailand' and the dumb shyte is expected. I've often commented - the mannerisms on the roads can be an insight into the soul and true characteristics of a nation.... ... also, the amount of minor scratches on the majority of vehicles and insight into the mannerisms on the roads !!!- 2

Eye surgery.
My spouse and I can strongly second that. Dr. Somchai is truly excellent. We both had lasik with terrific results. In my case, I was told in the US that if I had lasik I would still need to use glasses, either for close vision or distance vision. Since the whole point for me was to ditch glasses, I didn't have it done in the US. When I consulted with Dr, Somchai some 12 years ago, he said he thought he could do the lasik and I would be able to see both close and distant without glasses. And, that was exactly the case. Not having to wear glasses or struggling with uncomfortable contacts has been great. I would suggest an appointment with Dr. Somchai to check your eyes and discuss your options. -

Teen motorcyclist dies after being hit by truck at traffic stop
With 494 accidents in 3 years there I think it might be an issue of the traffic lights being too close to the bottom of the bridge and not being visible. If 10 accidents happened there in three years perhaps you could blame the drivers, a hundred would be stretching it, but 500??? Every 2 days!!!! We obviously have a problem. Come on people, use your brains for once. Nothing against this wonderful free forum but the information is often wrong, badly translated, AI generated and the photos are never actually of the actual incident. The driver did NOT say he was speeding. He said he was going too fast to stop in time (because of the situation). Poorly designed intersection and driving a heavy tanker. The dumber people are the ones more often that revert to the “troll” accusation rather than do a bit of easy research and find the real facts. Research that would be quicker than writing your long winded posts based on inaccurate information. -

Kennedy may drop out and support Trump
This is what the so called “democrats” have become: a convoluted mess of terrorist Hamas sympathizers, using the races of different folks as a tool to incite hate and division which is racism in of itself, contorting the rule of law to go after political opponents, imposing warped DEI agendas on freaking children for god sakes. The insidiousness of left has absolutely no moral bottom. All this being funded and conducted by a multi billionaire cabal that amount in the trillions and want nothing less than complete control and power over everyone and everything, it is these people who absolutely have no regard for the constituencies of the left, in fact they despise everyone beneath them. The constituencies of the left are being played by the biggest scam in human history. -

I read that too... and while I agree that 'SAFETY FIRST' seems to have gone down the 'anti-farang' road in this thread.... ... I do wonder what the foreign driver did to incite the Thai Motorcyclists into such an angry state.... Lots of potentials... middle finger perhaps (total guess of course) - but some very innocuous things bring Thai's to boiling temperature in a split second - none of which justifies their actions, nevertheless, knowing such information helps us learn more and know how to avoid exposure to such psychopaths when out and about. -------- It never ceases to amaze me how Thai's allow a situation to escalate so quickly and round up so much backup in such a short time-frame. A while ago playing golf (in Kanchanaburi) with a Thai-friend.... We were putting out on the green and one of the group shot onto the green. I shouted.... they could see us... and a second player shot the ball onto the green so I kicked it away and told the caddy to pick up the other ball. When the group (of 4 older Thai folk ) approached - they were incensed, arguing at our slow play. We argued that we could only play at the speed in front of us - it was a weekend and play was slow, but nothing we could do about that. The arguement developed - me arguing with the Thai man about his dangerous play, him arguing that we were slow and angry that I'd kicked his ball away. My Wife arguing the same with his wife... Proper silly stuff... meanwhile my Thai friend on the phone. We'd finished our game so my Wife and I walked off... Thai guy still shouting... We'd left the green and stopped at the 19th hole when two cars pulled up.... my Thai friend had called backup and they'd arrived within 10 mins... It seems many have 'access to instant backup'.... And its true,.... whenever I travel somewhere... Phuket, Chiang Mai etc... my Thai friend is always giving me numbers - contact this guy if you have a problem !!! -

student visa and non b visa issue
Hi everyone, Thanks for your suggestions last months ago. They were all really helpful for me. To give you guys up date with my case, the officer who is handling the non b extension did actually notice and asked me to cancel my student visa first before accepting my non b visa extension case. But fortunately, I prepared another letter with the date of departure as my last day of semester by requesting from my university. So I didn't get any overstay stamps or fine imposed. -

I don't. It's not like I'm looking down on them. It's just the way things are.- 1

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
I could put up daily videos that would shock people, I'm not talking about a few bad apples in a week/month, and this in my short daily 3km drive to my daughters school. To me it's just pure insanity, made even worse by how dangerous the drivers are near the school.
