Do you think they want real justice or money?

If the family have been paid a hefty sum. Then justice has been done. Thai style!

Different culture, different way of dealing with things.... MOVE ON.

we'll all move on if you, perhaps, get into a spot of bother and can't pay your way out of it.. i suspect you'll condone the difference in culture once it happens to you

How sad. RIP to the Austrian.

I know many people of different nationalities who have divorced their Thai wives. In every instance it was because large sums of money were spent, overtime, without the husband understanding where it went. Their wives could not explain it adequately and usually the discussion ended in a row with the wives screeching "you farang, no understand" etc etc. These wives were not all ex bar girls. Some were well educated and had businesses or professional careers before marriage.

Money seems to lead to huge issues here and these Thai wives all reacted very quickly and badly when challenged. It seems from the OP that this lady was prone to use violence.

Before one of the nit picking members will ask you to prove the statement "in every instance"; I fully understand what you mean as well as most other normal members. Money is the root of all evil, and for sure money matters more to most Thai (Oh flip I will be asked to prove this) people because their government does not support layabouts like the western word does. I agree with you that it is not only related to bar girls; the educated ones seem to be more prone to this (Oh I have done it again) Pimay1 will have a field day with this post - knock yourself.

calling it how it is, eh?? how very well dare thee!! you should go back to your own country and let the rest of us sugar coat shzzzzz ...kidding, of course, lol

Think, that is the third Austrian killed in Udon province in the last 2-3 years,

bloody austrians.. trouble, the lot of you

a sad waste of life, seems to happen far too much here.. or they just don't have anything else better to report?? anyhow, Ruhe in Frieden

i'm assuming the whole point is that western-style toilets can be used by everyone and anyone, whether overweight, pregnant, old and frail.. i wouldn't say i'm severely overweight or anything, but i'm not a small guy and using one of those squat toilets isn't a pleasant experience. i'm sure my pregnant gf would also agree it's not comfortable for her to squat right now either. all down to personal preference i suppose, but it would be nice to have the option of a western-style toilet in more public places, in particular at service stations. i don't really frequent any other places with squat bogs

"However busses, trucks and taxis will be exempted as they are driven by professional drivers who can handle their vehicle safely" - uh huh, lol

This HAS TO be an April Fools post, no way in hell can this be serious!

News doesn't change much really. Hot topics are usually cheating, falling from balconies and the odd scam here and there.. just a regular day in the Kingdom of Thailand, lol

WTAF...... I had to read twice to make sure I understood what I was reading was just crap in the purest form. Words literally escape me, lol.

I love this, bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha

The police here make me sick!! In 3 years I've only ever had one problem when I jumped upon and had the crap kicked out of me (I was neither drunk nor up to no good)... they just dismissed me and told me to let them know if they guy came back.... on that day, not a single s*** was given

i know it's the law to have a degree to teach and get a work permit in thailand, but my question here is does it really matter whether it's an FdA or BA degree?

An FdA degree in the UK is essentially the first 2 years of a 3 year BA degree. it follows the same route of study, except the last year isn't complete to be able to get the honours part of the degree.. so a BA (without hons).

most schools ask for a BA degree as standard, i was just wondering if that's them setting their own standards or whether this comes from the MOE as a minimum prerequisite to be able to teach.

anybody have idea or is there anyone out there teaching with an FdA degree??

get him in jail.. we don't want this lunatic back in the UK either burning down stuff, lol
