Really, you should have covered this territory long before you married.

Anyway, the way to be miserable is to succumb to your fears, ... and be miserable.

Alternatively, lighten up and enjoy some time together. It's all about choice.

What have you got to lose ......... hmmm ?

Went down to my local top-up shop, .. they are friends, and said "While I'm here I should register the sim" They simply used a mobile phone to photograph the passport pages needed. All done.

Only two of you in the same village? I'm not sure that 'two' constitutes a list.

However, I take your point.

Next time they come knocking, have a fake beard and wig at the ready - that will totally eff them up.

If it's on file in a gov't office; one name would constitute a list.

... all be it a very short list.

Hey !!! This means you're on a Short List !

Thai Immigration police would do well to enforce dress code at the border. They can say it more politely, but with words to the effect, ... with photograph: "If you resemble this dumb sack of sh*t, you will be refused entry."

If it isn't bad enough having the Australian government disgracing the country from the top down, with it's cruel handling of asylum seekers and anti-environment policies, we also have sh*t-for-brain twerps like this, embarrassing the country from the ground up. How incredibly ugly he is.

It is so liberating to be without a car. Since I left Australia in 1992 and moved to Norway, I've done without one. I moved to Thailand 2010. The bicycle was the most precious item to be loaded into the shipping container. It's brilliant. Now back in Melbourne, I don't miss a car at all.

Public transport and/or bicycle = no parking problems, ever.

Bangkok is great. I love it and get around, finding everything I need by using the Sky Train and MRT, plus walking.

And I save absolutely heaps.

Without you even knowing about it, your suppliers will be paying for the right to deliver to your business.

They pay to the boss who controls their business on his his/her patch.

You will eventually need to know who is the boss of your patch.

Whether you run a noodle shop or a car assembly plant, you are on someones patch.

You either comply with their demads, or for inexplicable reasons, your business will simply not flourish.

If you can live with that, you'll get on ok.

Whose going to be the first to say "tattooed vest wearing scum".

You are!! ... for noting the obvious, first off the rank.

Seriously, guys: what is there to mock!

The MP is a great man, inspiring songwriter and poet, who returned happiness to 99,3% of the Thai-people!

I don't understand all the negativity!

Yours sincerely

A recent survey found that 91% ( or was it more ) of Facebook users are not happy with the government.

So yes, we should rejoice with the remaining 7 to 9% who are happy , and celebrate the PM's boundless wisdom !!

Shouldn't be a problem as it was reported last week that the Thai Police are excellent.

"excellent" at what?

... because nothing comes to mind.

Just asking.

Poor bloke..

I hope he gets his head back in order.

Clearly suffering from some mental issues, but no one here has an empathy for a fellow human.

Yes, but I don't really consider him as a "fellow" human. There are so many drop kicks ending up in Thailand, it is really embarrassing. There being so many in Pattaya is the main reason I avoid the place.

instead of trawling through facebook and pursuing people who click 'like' the police should be concentrating their IT resources fighting crimes such as the one highlighted here, and not relying on foreigners to do the work for them.

If foreigners have the expertise, then why not accept their help. Have you a problem with this?

The tilt test is irrelevant to all situations except when the bus is motionless and empty.
Fill the top with passengers, and add motion, swerving, any turning produces centrifuge, in fact any change in velocity, and the centre of gravity will be all over the place.

Even in the hands of the most competent driver, the unexpected, including the actions of other vehicles, these things are at best a potential disaster and to be avoided.

If anywhere at all, they should not leave the city districts, and should be built with speed governors in the control panels.

The fact that no Thai has ever been nominated for a Nobel Prize, for anything, ever, should be of greater concern, that what an individual chooses to like or dislike on a social media platform.

critics are rubbing their hands and holding their breath.

Have learned (the hard way) to temper my enthusiasm for posting on anything regarding Thai democracy or PM...

Posting honestly on these subjects can get you a week of detention...

Experience speaking here...

Yep, having your posts deleted, which is my experience.

Whatever ... he atleast needs an education on environmental issues, .. for a start, that there is no such thing as "clean coal" and a coal fired power station in Krabi, or anywhere, would be a disaster.

The "clean coal" speech was as though scripted by the Australian government and the Indian coal mining giant Adani. Sickening.

I'd like to see more effective tax collection measures implemented (i.e. Taxing those who sell online through bank transfers only), but I'm not entirely sure how the ID card scheme would help in this process?

May I ask, exactly why you would like to see this ?

... <deleted>

It certainly looks like the Junta is determined to dig their own graves. Amusing to watch.

Not so amusing will be the violence needed to remove him, .. the lives lost and blood spilt in the process.

If this is nothing more than enetertainment for you, perhaps you should consider relocating.

These people are indebted to Thaksin for the 30 baht health scheme without which they could not have afforded their lobotomies.

Why are you talking about "Health schemes" ?? This is about telling the US to go home. .. the USA with the worst, biggest ripoff "health scheme" ever, where people are having to sell up homes, everything, to cover the cost of life saving treatments. .... pathetic

Well, they can try two things:

1. Reduce the population by 80%

2. Teach them

The first option may be the easiest.

Probably Burmese or Cambodian laborers.

Wow, your intelligent comments astounds me.................

This forum really needs a 'sarcasm' emoticon. Something like something flying right over someone's head, perhaps

Well, okay a 'sarcasm' emoticon, but important too, the realisation, .. awareness, that sarcasm, black humour, whatever are all the playground of individual cultures. Humour does not always translate well, and can fall flat and/or be seriously misunderstood.

Therefor, contributors here and elsewhere on multicultural sites should be aware that whilst English may well be the only language allowed on a forum, it is not first language for everyone.

1. My suggestion is that all posters consider this before adding comments

2. Kindly give some slack to those who quite understandably misread colloquialisms.

Just wondering how so many TV posters can make light of this tragic incident, leaves me as horrified as the news item itself.

I'd be deleted if I told you what you should hear.
