If he leaves by Airport and has a flight ticket out, then he can fly out (in case he is early enough for paperwork and he has the 20'000 baht overstay fine). If they catch him somewhere else, he comes into IDC detention, which then he have to spend some time, till his flight is arranged.

Yes, they should be punished, as all who do something against the law! But I have the feeling, that at the moment the punishment is not in correspondence with the crime. At the moment if a foreigner do something against the rules, the punishment is mostly much to harsh. It's a phenomenon, that newspaper like to print sad, or cruel stories, which are liked by the readers. At the moment especially Phuket they like to read about foreigners who do something wrong. Even here you always see a lot of comments, which is good for the website.

Theoretical correct, but he also could had sex 1 time with a HIV female which could lead to become HIV as well. a change of 0.04% still could be on the first contact or even not become after 10'000 contacts.

IF this fine with the Thai man is true, which I think is too much, then I want to know what will happen to this chinese tourists!

I'm very surprised. You complaint so much about Thailand (Thailand not changed over weekend). And now you come back and the only reason some changed in your relationship! To be honest, this sounds very strange (same as your last thread, where you stated that will be your last comment, but still saw many more comments in that thread). So for me I feel you talk a lot without real actions behind!

Actually, if you bought the condo, and it will be destroyed (for whatever reason) and they sell the land, you receive money according to your condo size. So you are also part owner of the land.

To qualify for foreign owership is, that the quota is not full yet (49%). and that the property is build within the Thai condominium act. If it was build under the condo act, then every foreigner can buy a room in there as long the quota of 49% is not reached!

I guess he mean, when you are married to a Thai you can skip the permanent resident and go direct to a Thai passport (more or less same requirements). IF you are not married the requirements for becoming a Thai passport (citizen) is more difficult than "only" becoming a permanent resident! Anyway without working (paying taxes) both states are almost impossible.

You not need to have income for filling tax-papers.

But only in some small offices. if you want to do this in Bangkok (CW), then you spend only for this small "hello i'm back" half a day. (about 2 hours wait for the queue and drive to and back.... In Bangkok it's always recommended use some non physical method. my best guess would be after comming from outside... do the first report by mail (for BKK). take some time, but at least this should work. and then the ones after you can do again online.

Strange, I always was under the assumption, that Italian is the local language in Lugano!

I am wondering if you life really in Thailand and have some knowledge? Why I read many stories about some Thai man attacking another person, because they did use the horn on the car, said something, done something the Thai man not liked? I'm very sorry for you, that you have no knowledge, but Thai men are in fact very tempered men, they like to smile till one point the they can't smile anymore and then explode. Often this happens in the family as you told (you seems to find it OK that thai men bash their wifes?).. as this sound from you post that bashing a family member is less aggresive than bash a stranger.. Both are bad habits. But stay in your bubble with your "thai male friends"!

Youtube Video This video was posted as well. I never understood people who not read the complete story with the answers, but like to comment about something they not really read!

I think it would often help a lot already, if they would take parked cars next to the red/white serious. I see a lot of cars parking everywhere. and stop for a short period many times in second row. Mean from the 3 lanes 1 lane is avalable to drive. If they would go against this parking, then many streets would be much easier to drive. And this new rule... will probably not change much, as nobody there to take care of the rules.
