Or Iranian, Nigerian, Cambodian.

He left home without any money, so no honey.

She owns the condo we live un and pays for 100% for all her personal expenses and a small part of common expense like food and schooling.

The Aussie guy un his 50's

Does it really cost $6m as indicated, and is it USA dollars? Sounds far too much money.

The high rise Bangkok condos that I have lived in (including the present one) all have a reasonably large reservoir on the ground level hidden away from sight. The water supply from the mains fills this reservoir all the time. A high level sensor has been fitted in the tank, so the handyman can close the main filling valve if it gets full (I have never seen that happening) Powerful pumps then take suction from this reservoir and pump it all the way up to water tanks at the top of the building (present condo I live in is 40 floors high, with the supply tanks on the roof). Water pipes then lead from the roof tanks to individual units. The lower the floor, the better the pressure due to greater vertical distance which the water falls to. For the 36th-40th Floor, as the water pressure will not be so great due to shorter vertical distance, a special booster pump has been installed to boost the pressure in their lines.

Thailand is full of violent gangs. Japanese Yakuza, British/Australian/Danish biker gangs, Chinese criminal syndicates, etc. It is a magnet for criminals from all over.

Near a place I frequent, I have also been observing a group (4-5) Chinese workers who have been working very diligently completely renovating an old shophouse into a Mala restaurant. They are quite skilled and doing all the cementing, tiling, wood work, glass windows, painting by themselves. But they definitely seem to be co-owners and not hired labourers. They speak Chinese and very basic Thai.

I learnt in school that the spelling of proper names can be altered. Or is it wrong?

My guess is South Sudan.

"Why are posters on here are reject living in the West?" Unaffordable, cold, broken family value system, no women, bland food, can't compete with immigrants, etc. ?

What a horrible thing to do, kill an innocent 14 year old who had nothing to do with this man. What is so wrong with this religion?

And yet a magnet for refugees from the first world?

Correct. Mom & dad could be funding this married man with a 7yr old child to go on a holiday to Thailand, leaving his wife & kid behind in Essex in January.

Inspite of having big homes, many Americans also use rented self storage to stuff their unwanted purchases!

Normaly we dont read about "shot near left leg" "shot near right underarm" etc, so "shot near penis"...sure to grab attention from a lot of readers, including me. 😄

"The incident has sparked public outrage, with growing calls for stricter enforcement against foreign criminal networks operating in Pattaya" There should be no discrimination based on nationality. Whether these criminals are foreigners or Thai, they should all be caught and punished.

The first car I purchased was a Toyota Soluna in Bangkok in 1996. Followed by Toyota Vios 8yrs later. And then a Toyota Altis and now a Toyota Camry. In 2026 I plan to buy a Toyota Lexus, the last car before I say my final goodbye.

Mr. Sukhee most probably panicked and changed his mind at the last minute.

Every job has a notice period for resigning. It is also the duty of a prospective employer to ask about this.

5am in the morning

Looks like an addict herself

"Upon inspection, police secured the scene with a cordon and noted scrape marks on a large tree near the third-floor rooftop of the resort, suggesting the victim may have fallen from the roof at sometime before getting stuck in the pipe." Unless it was an open sewer he fell into, how can an adult man fall/jump from the 3rd floor and get stuck in a drainage pipe? More likely to have been murdered and shoved into the drainage pipe. Sad end to someone's life on a day when everyone would have been celebrating a holiday.

Yes, you are correct. No option for the like or other reactions.

Rather more may flood in from the wrecked UK and EU states.
