Carry copies of passport and international DL If they want to see my originals they are going to have to take me home to see them.

i carry a thai drivers license and a copy of my passport.

however, if a police officer wants to see your original passport he can keep you in custody and someone will have to bring it down to the police station for you, as we saw many posts during the apec era.

having a thai drivers license will satisfy most officers to ID you, but having a one year or five year license doesn't mean you are legally in the country and have not overstayed your visa after you aquired the license. not likely, but any officer can bust your balls and insist on seeing your original passport. i personally don't want to carry original, but did during the apec summit.

I never carried original passport when I go out in USA or elsewhere.

Its just too risky!

I have lost moblie phone 3 times at least already in the last 2 years ( too wasted!) Carrying a original passport? No way!

What so risky to carry your passport if you dont have a thai ID card or licence?

I lost my passport two times in Thailand. Report to the police, went to my embassey and get a new one + papers confirm the old one then to the immigratoion and a lot of paperworks, but I cant see the big value of the passport. It is just a paper. I think it can be more risky without one, a copy not work everywhere. And if you stop by police far away from your home, can be long time in jail before the lazy cop will help you.

well they had it coming

the management of cm2 has been pretty lax for a while

I was in there xmas time and their were gang members wearing patches.

I complained to the Falang mgr who said "they were ok they spend money"

Sure they spend money but what else do they do?????

As far as the Russian girls go I have only ever seen the same three overweight and over use by dates in there.

It is of course one of the major freelancer venues for Thai girls.

I

I had 3 weeks ago 5 men (thai) nicely dressed in front of my computer place and they said computer broke, can I fix, my answer, I donot know, whats wrong, after which it was clear they didnt have a clue... My answer then was to take it to a Thai shop...

They laughed and then they said they were tourist polce and immigration..

Where is passport, : with immigration for year visum.

Where is workpermit: in labour office butr I have driverslicense, social security card etc and without working legally, no way you can have them. I called my Thai accountantr, they talked and sofar no problem.

You can in theory take an original and copy to Umpur and they will stamp it as a legal copy.

Costs like 20 baht years ago but I am convinced immigration likely offersa the same service if you pay...

WHAT! The other type of expected passport markings don't work... especially the ones with the picture of a head of state. Wonder to know, TRT is just letting us know Thailand's finest are on the job..but it is of course the wrong jobs...

Hmmm.. I wonder if the Asia/Farang has to worry about this.. Excuse Sir, my accent is from WEST Thailand.

A wise sage once wrote... a lid on idiocy must be keep on tightly... Hmm

Dare to dream this could happen here.. TRT descending..

SOCIAL ORDER CRUSADE

Siam Square nightclub shut

A police source said the raid followed a report that Russian prostitutes were working in the bar.

However, there was no evidence linking Russian tourists who were found there to the sex trade.

--Bangkok Post 2004-03-19

I dont know about Russian prostitutes being there but most of the Thai girls there are definitely prostitutes. I stopped going to CM2 after several occasions of meeting a "nice college girl" only to be propositioned with a price of 2000 - 3000 baht for the evening. Saw the same girl 2 days later at the Beer Garten asking 1000.

Do they accept a Thai drivers license in lieu of your passport?

They always have when I've been checked by police, no matter the situation.

From what I understand about police drug tests in clubs, etc, they're looking for yaa baa and other drugs that test positive for amphetamine, mdma, etc. Not cannabis. Or at least that's what two of my Thai attorney friends have told me.

Hey, today's Post has a letter to the editor from the manager of Novotel Siam Square saying that CM2 was never closed as reported earlier. It is still open and business is going on as usual! :o

Here is the letter:

Nightclub open for business as usual

On behalf of the owners and management of Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square, we would like to advise that our Concept CM2 club is open for business as usual and was not ordered closed for 30 days as mentioned in the Bangkok Post on March 19.

After the recent ``social order visit'' by Deputy Minister Pracha Maleenont, we have received no official notification from the authorities to close and have been advised that we can remain open indefinitely. From March 19 to the present, we have continued to serve our loyal patrons and guests.

Michael Thomas

General Manager

Novotel Bangkok
