Go back to your post.... I was commenting on you banging on about some Thai woman for wearing a mask. You referred to her as absurd....! A sweaty foreigner stomping by might get me to put a mask on too! That second post was simply diversion on your part....I did not suggest you went to the park to look at women, you brought that up, the comment was based on the post I quoted from...

Yes, rather tacky.....

Exactly, it was something I noticed here when I tried a bit of charitable donation.... one not only has to give, but very much must be seen to do so.

More people, more craziness, social media, more drugs about, a more selfish attitude maybe.

Stop messing about... they sell it in cases!

Let her do as she chooses....... have we got to the stage where a Thai woman cannot be in a park without some nosey foreigner looking at her, and mumbling under his breath? There was not 'no one around'... you passed close by!

Generally or in this instance?

Yes, they have heard the complaints, they have reacted, and done their part. Now it is in the hands of the enforcement agents... dead end!

Nonsense......

More a friend of a friend in reality. He married my old GF.....

Not true...had a pal who was fired from the police....he was dishonest and rather dim.... not sure which did in for him.

You set a good example.....

Well that would end a lot of the world's problems..... Where was the mother or grandma, that this guy had to mind the kid while also having to work?

I repeat myself, but I have found they do less damage with a stick of celery.

Not true at all, I hate guns..... oh hang on a minute!

That surprises me actually. Is it the way of this particular drug that ones mental state is impacted even when it has not recently been taken. Like a heroin addict will thieve and lie to get some more?

This is about Thailand, You need not worry that your right to have weapons in the USA will be impacted. So don't let your fear get the better of you.

Perhaps the parents took them....... Thais seem to feel differently about such things. I have had friends die here and my Mrs has got involved with the arrangements..... she took some odd pics and asked if I wanted to see them.

I am not sure if immigration require the 800k to be verified as freshly arrived from overseas to get the O-Visa.. I have heard of that. If you have plenty of money, an agent can take care of all the steps for you ...(I even read of it being done without leaving Thailand.) Some agents charge a good amount for all of the steps. (Obtain O Visa, then retirement extension, total 15 months stay). There is an agent on Soi Post Office does a cheaper price and fair service. If you have the 800k sitting there the price is much less.

I rest my back-pack!

I don't believe it is all about traffic flow... it is about creating a venue for the many festivals and markets that make getting into town a nightmare.

Just seen a report on Sky stating a child that was still alive was both stabbed and shot.

Just been reported on UK's Sky News with interviews from the hospital and with victims parents. So they got a team up there very quickly. It may not be so exceptional for USA News, but it is a very unusual event here despite gun ownership being quite common. The wails of parents was rather upsetting.

Yes such times can be very trying, I went through similar with my mother but have regrets I was not there for her enough.....a lot of services were available but many had to be paid for..... I talk to friends back in the UK and they seem to get a lot of treatments and support, one just had cancer treatment and it was exemplary. I feel it is very much a postcode lottery though....

Well this wasn't a good guy was it.... fired from the police and in court on drug charges!
