  1. You can try the rubber band trick and isolate the last part of the passport. He/She can still thumb through it to check but it will discourage most of them from going through the trouble of taking the rubber band off to completely access the remaining pages. Long ago ,with normal stamps, visas and extended layovers I had to order new pages a few times. I Eventually began opting for the larger U.S. passport book with more pages, at no additional cost, by checking the 'large book' box at the top of the DS-82. Other countries might do the same.... Why? Some might think they are doing you a favor by leaving room for a visa sticker if you already have a few from previous trips so it might not simply be a spiteful or malevolent act. .
  2. I am off topic, but they can employ foreigners to be caddies at the golf clubs nowadays? That was in reference to a different robbery. The police were putting the Modus Operandi of this crime together with a similar crime committed against Thai female caddies who were recently robbed . There are no charges filed or confessions given at this point. https://bnnbreaking.com/breaking-news/crime/daring-rescue-and-arrest-the-plight-of-a-chinese-tourist-in-chonburi Further investigation into Mr. Tip's criminal history unearthed a disturbing pattern, suggesting his potential involvement in another robbery targeting a female caddy at a golf course.
  3. Did you see the post with the cat scratching at the door of the castle ? Same joke but not as elaborate. '
  4. Not quite, but close enough....... Source: ThePattayaNews. com https://thepattayanews.com/2024/01/25/international-british-teacher-arrested-for-luring-minors-to-commit-indecent-acts-in-pathum-thani/ On January 24th, Thanyaburi police captured the British teacher at a house in Mueang Pathum Thani. However, the suspect fainted after the police showed up. The police then urgently transferred the suspect to Pathumwet Hospital for medical treatment.
  5. Not to get into a pissing contest about suffering, but I also have periodic bouts of optical migraines along with the steady ringing noises from the tinnitus. This leads me to believe that there is some type of electrical imbalance in my system. A voltage meter placed on my skin shows a steady charge of about 200 millivolts where the average human is said to have a lot less at around 70 millivolts For me it boils down to the same thing that happens when a wire with too much electrical gain amplifies a humming noise. We are the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. I'm just not sure if the problems are from humanity's' distant past or for the distant future... Music helps. I have an extensive playlist of most genres of music to keep myself distracted by trying to memorize the part of every single instrument or voice. Got a music scholarship in the late 1960s because the steady tones allowed me to mimic the gift of perfect pitch so it's not all bad news to report ....... Sample optical/ocular migraine .
  6. This one should be a little easier to decipher
  7. The closest match might be these guys in the photo below. Look them up and pick your poison. . False-codling-moth-thaumatotobia-leucotreta-caterpillar-pest-of-orange-cirus-sinensis-fruit-south-africa-.
  8. Yes.... All of the evidence so far seems to confirm your suspicions .... These two were arrested based on the same location reported . The same type of blue motorbike .The same type of helmet with white emblem. Same type of blue shirt with logo as the guy who attacked the woman in the video. Same description as the getaway driver. A total of 4 robberies were reported with the same details . A quick response by Khlong Tan and Phra Khanong police led to the swift arrest of two armed robbers, 20 year old Sakarin and 21 year old Prinya. Sakarin was apprehended at his residence in the Regent Condominium, while Prinya was caught in his rented room in Soi Phatthanakan 20.
  9. It happens but sometimes it's worse for the thief than the victim....Even in parts of Thailand. Posting this vid from Ecuador as an example.......
  10. Unbelievable that there were so many gullible stooges posting here in defense of someone who considered your time as less valuable that his. Correction , not one but two people who considered your time as less valuable than theirs. You are not a baggage clerk, a hotel bell hop, a train porter or a personal coolie waiting to be assigned to a task for a meager wage or tip. What was really at stake was not the loss of the bag. It was the worry free fun and frolic that he THEY would have had to sacrifice, at your expense. They could have easily shared the responsibility . It was not an emergency and definitely did not override any social protocol of being considerate to other human beings in need of help or respite from suffering. @henrik2000 No need to rethink or recalibrate your decision. You did the right thing by accident. (2021 Halloween) I once had a pair of guys wearing dresses go ballistic on me for not taking a photo of them with their phones for Fakebook at an airport (LAX). I have Tinnitus so I generally wear a combination of ear plugs and headphones . Initially when they came up to me waving the phones I handed them a pad and pencil to write down what the hell they were on about. I declined their invitation to simultaneously waste my time and miss my flight . Then the shouting began so I took the headphones off and the plugs out to find out that I was a homophobe , probably a racist and how one of them had fought in the US/ Iraq war to protect me. The laughing did not help calm them down . I had to catch my flight so I left them behind while still hurling insults at me...... Sometimes you have to cut the chord and move on.
  11. Looks like it's tit for tat between the Turks and the Thais in the swindle market...... The story below is about a Turkish fitness trainer who was arrested for defrauding rich Thai women. It was posted last September.... https://aseannow.com/topic/1305547-turkish-fitness-trainer-nabbed-on-charges-of-defrauding-rich-thai-women/#comment-18326222 .
  12. For the record, there was a "Lonely Planet" warning back in the 1980's about intervening in incidental fights or arguments while travelling. Though not in this case, the scam was to set the tourist up for fleecing via directly robbing him or accusing him of bodily injury by members of the fight or fracas. A couple of guys tried it on me in Paris at about 3 in the morning in 1984 . I just kept walking and laughed like crazy at the guy screaming for help from the other guy who was pretending to beat the crap out of him. It was as if they read the book line by line. If it's really something serious calling the police after I clear the area might be an option. There's been a rash of good Samaritans getting shot in the head lately....
  13. Maybe he's a "Conehead" and ate the real soap instead .....
  14. Gynandromorphophilic Results GAMP men had arousal patterns similar to those of heterosexual men and different from those of homosexual men. However, compared to heterosexual men, GAMP men were relatively more aroused by GAM erotic stimuli than by female erotic stimuli. GAMP men also scored higher than both heterosexual and homosexual men on a measure of autogynephilia. Conclusions Results provide clear evidence that GAMP men are not homosexual. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/psychological-medicine/article/abs/who-are-gynandromorphophilic-men-characterizing-men-with-sexual-interest-in-transgender-women/C53A4234C8AD66052EEB4701E78A82BE
  15. and a missed demeanor of happiness They did not say how much cash was stolen but the arrest photo in thephuketexpress looks a lot different. .
  16. By " international sex trade" they meant this company was offering liasons with Ladies/Ladyboys to customers in different regions or countries. The Site listed : Asia Australia Germany Netherlands Poland and the United Kingdom in the following cities........ Bangkok Phuket Tokyo Manila Singapore Hong Kong Kuala Lumpur Macau Jakarta Bali Angeles City Cebu Hanoi Ho Chi Minh Phnom Penh Sydney Melbourne Berlin Amsterdam Rotterdam The Hague Warsaw Krakow London Liverpool Manchester Leeds Birmingham Newcastle Bristol
  17. To evade detection, the network used VoIP phone systems with operators scattered across different regions in Thailand. .
  18. She's Chinese, but she escaped with the luck of the Irish. .....Probably more arrests are in the works if this guy cracks under interrogation.
  19. Do you understand what this means ? https://www.merriam-webster.com "not necessarily" , idiom..... : possibly but not certainly used to say that something is not definitely true That's why he added (if that happens it happens) You appear to be English. If that's the way you understand it fine. We define the term differently where I am from. At any rate hopefully The poster @gabe-h-coud has enough information to make the best of his short stay in the Lower Sukhumvit area ....
  20. No. he did not specifically post that he wasn't looking for women. Nor do my recommendations anchor on that point. This is what he wrote ..... Nana's Billboard bash is once a year . It has free gifts, food and a contest . Soi Cowboy has live music and a higher number of tourists passing through. Both areas are generally considered to be entertaining without a liason with a sex worker.
  21. The TURKISH fitness trainer/scammer is male you can edit your post by clicking the 3 dots ... in the upper right corner of your post.
  22. Always follow the links for details.....A clickbait headline is not your friend. https://thainewsroom.com/2023/09/04/turkish-fitness-trainer-nabbed-on-charges-of-defrauding-rich-thai-women/ .....Once they fall in love with him he would persuade them to invest in a car care business in Udomsuk area. However after he got their money he cut off all contacts with them, police said. As the suspect has film-star good looks many women got scammed this way and total losses amounted to millions of baht,..............
