There was my 2 mates and 2 other girls. They wanted 40k to let them all go but they only had 20k to hand. They payed 20k and everyone except the guy with the weed on him was allowed to go. He had to stay in a cell overnight and they have now taken his passport and he's on bail. He doesn't have a date for his court appearance, he doesn't have a solicitor and I'm guessing he doesn't have much more than 40k to his name (he will probably spend around half of that here in Phuket until his trial which could be up to six weeks away).

Has anyone got any advice for him? I told him to get a solicitor and ring home and tell his parents straight up what happened but he is adamant that he's not getting a solicitor and he'll worry about it when the time comes... He hasn't told his parents because I assume he's worried about their reaction.

Am I being really paranoid or could there be serious consequences to this?
thats really stupid for not paying the 40k on the spot. the problem with goin back to the police station is that you have to pay off all the ppl in the station and the head guy prob wants more. if you pay off on the street, your only paying the 2-3 cops thats working atm. ALWAYS pay off on the spot no matter wat. when you go back prob gona be like 20x more u have to pay.

my friend got caught with weed a few months back and he called me to bail him out. they ask for 30k in cash, but end up negotiating to 16k and he let him go right away

it seems like the cops just took the 20k and didnt actually do anything for it since the friends likely wouldnt have gotten in trouble anyways

Tough choice, good chance of getting raped either way but i would choose rooming with CheaplesElbow as he is a solid 9.5/10 and has that Freddy Mercury mustache going on.

Wow been pretty busy couple days. I don't know what it is (if I actually picked up some kind of cold) or if I'm just heat stroked or a combination, but I do not feel well at all. Got that scratchy lumpy feeling in the back of my throat, feeling a little nauseous and being out in the sun all day looking at condos has not helped. Of course didn't bother to put on lotion or pre-tan before I left so my face is lobster to top it all off. Finally gave up walking for hours (was dry heaving/gagging from dry throat/dehydration/heat stroke combined with this cold I picked up). Gone through an entire 12 pack of 600ml waters just in my hotel room, quit beer since last night, buying all kinds of drinks while I'm out and about and still feeling dehydrated/ill. Gave up and started getting these scooter taxi guys to rip me around (which felt pretty sketch in busy traffic and remembering that guy that recently got smashed up good). I promised I wouldn't do that until I at least got my health insurance set up....but whatever.

Anyway found this area right by this massive shopping complex. And a couple of the buildings I like are just blocks away from this huge "Big C" in that shopping complex (like a Thai Wallmart) and a couple diff. language schools.
The one I like best so far has nice pool in central courtyard, decent gym with cardio and weights, nice deck with good view of central courtyard, and nice furnishings inside, including stove top, washing machine, big fridge, flat screen tv ect.











Still haven't even seen walking street, been so busy getting set up. But I went for a 1hr "Thai Massage" for 150 baht to start my day. It was really good. I mean I really got 1hr of legit deep tissue massage (walking on my back and doing all these other techniques like knees into the back of my legs while working my back with her elbows and her whole weight on my body the entire time). But she also worked each part of my body piece by piece including my inner, inner thigh . She was basically doing everything except actually stroking my dick, so of course I get a massive hard on. She takes that as her cue and just pulls off my boxers. We continue with the massage and now I'm just but naked with my dick hanging out (went soft as she moved to other areas of my body). Anyway I pay $60/hr back in Canada for the same quality massage, without all the kinky stuff.

Pattaya is basically everything I imagined it to be from my research. I get it that there is more crime/violence block for block compared to Phuket/BKK because it's basically one big party town with open drinking on the street and tons of rowdy tourists. But it's a really nice place to start as a Thailand newb. I'm moving into my new condo tomorrow. The discount wasn't enough to justify signing a 6 month lease so I'm just booking month to month. So if I get tired of all this in a month, BKK is just 1.5hr away. I'm def. going to come over for the weekend soon though once I'm settled in and feeling better. I mean $30 taxi from Patts to BKK anytime I feel like it. Not sure why I'd want to expose myself to that congestion/traffic full time when I just want to grind, gym, tan, laundry, boom-boom, beach.

If he goes to trial it will be too late for bribes and he will most likely be sent to jail.

Tilt, I just got an e-mail from Playnow.com that I've won a prize (I bought 6 loto max tickets with 50M jackpot + 50 max millions) but I can't seem to log in from outside the province to see what I got.

One time at least 1M, not another free play or $20....
