Probably a liberal pretending to be a 'free thinker'. I don't fall for social engineering but if you have been around you know Muslims cause trouble everywhere, and furthermore if you know what is written in the Quran and the Hadiths, you know for sure they are not compatible to live with anyone else on a friendly basis. Oddly enough they do have one ally in Western liberals, but that is the clown fiesta I want nothing to do with.

If cultural appropriation was legit, and not something that only exists in weirdo leftist circles, then I would lose my mind travelling. The world has basically copied Western Europe unless you go into the mountains, Thailand included.

That doesn't really work out since in this case and many others the culprit is not of an English speaking country. Perhaps a moderator could interact with some of the publishers and would care to explain why they target negative news at a certain demographic? Unfortunately for them I watch Thai news and I know what happens, and to say a guy getting picked up on DUI is petty is an understatement. I mean it would be a good idea to explain yourselves, because you guys are already a shadow of what ThaiVisa was and lets be real, forums are already somewhat of a remnant. We don't have to click on your site.

If you're living in any country you should learn the local language. It's a respect thing and also has pragmatic benefits. No excuses really.

Regardless, I don't want to see people having sex in public, mostly due to children seeing it and if it opens up too much I will have to witness obese whales getting jiggy. Nightmare fuel. Totally understand Thais not wanting to see that also. However being a balanced individual it needs to reminded this kind of thing is petty, especially in Thailand where if you know the country properly you know this is petty compared to what goes down.

It doesn't matter that much because 5 minutes later there will be a story of a local guy tying his girlfriend to his motorbike and dragging her down the road. It puts things in perspective.

Why exactly is this news worth reporting on?

The Russians I have come across are admittedly not friendly (they don't smile much but it's not a crime) but they cause no problems. Honestly I don't see non-Thais causing much trouble in Thailand, and on the rare occasions I do it's usually a drunk Brit or Australian, or a Chinese person taking rudeness and crudeness to a new level.

The foreigners posting here are mostly behaving like children shouting into the wind who have not really worked out the world. Is it because she is Russian? Maybe but probably not. Is it because she is Russian and connected? More likely but I don't know. Do you as a foreigner have any say in what happens? Absolutely not unless you are an exceptional foreigner with a voice that carries in high places. Time to grow up guys. I assume a lot of you come from Europe where in your own countries foreign nationals of certain ethnicities are coddled. Better you concentrate on that. At least you somewhat have a voice there.

How on earth did any Thai people end up in Haiti? It's basically the other side of the world and a location even other Carribbeans avoid.. Strange.

Old comment but for anyone reading NEVER put down a three month deposit. They try this on in the Philippines because they want to take your money. If you think scamming is bad in Thailand, the Philippines is a whole new level. Just be firm with one month deposit or forget it and walk out. Especially in Cebu. Not many people want to say there (well, the Philippines in general tbh) and there are reasons for that. Unless it's die to visas, leaving Thailand for the Philippines is not a good move.

Is this really worth reporting on? A single magic mushroom? Must be a slow week on the news front..

I have no idea what this big push is for Pattaya by TAT in recent years. It should have remained the seedy seaside town that gets low marketing and make places like Phuket, Samui, Hua Hin, and some other islands very much family friendly and encourage the tourists to go there. It's like: hey we have a very nice affordable country with decent infrastructure and lots to see, but we are going to try and funnel you guys to our most degenerate corner despite wanting to clean up the image.

Thanks for replies

Thanks. Is that by land crossing or going by air, and if the limited stay is 60 days (including the extension) I would need to leave and renter twice with 6 months. Would this be permitted or is it risky? Do I need to stay out of the country for a while or can I just bounce back in? I did read somewhere that only 1 land crossing in 6 months is permitted, but it changes so often I would like to hear from people with boots on the ground dealing with this.
