  1. Trolling.

    9) You will not post inflammatory messages on the forum, or attempt to disrupt discussions to upset its participants, or trolling. Trolling can be defined as the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet by posting controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

  2. Without adequate cover, and depending on circumstances, its quite possible to be ruined financially by health care costs.

    There are many threads on this and suggest you do a simple search of the forum for a variety of experiences.

  3. Well, obviously I am no lawyer but, a marriage in Thailand, is legal recognised in the UK, what makes you think (or know) the reverse isnt the case ?

    If they were legally married in the UK, I would suspect they are legally married in Thailand too,(but happy to be corrected).

    MOVING this to Married & Divorce forum for better input.

  4. I wouldnt waste the money on a big "system", a "dummy" camera will deter most if placed in the right position.

    I also have independent IP cameras indoors that have motion/IR detection and email me six rapid succession images when triggered, can be viewed and controlled through 360 degrees from anywhere via my phone, they cost 1200 baht each.

  5. They are all pretty much the same, the problem you have is what will work in your area and location, that can vary dramatically sometimes but just a few hundred meters.

    Talk to people around you, see what they use. Make a decision from there.

  6. Nice to have the "other side of the coin" to counter the other threads.

    Its easy to focus on negative, easy to make comparisons etc, but at the end of the day its your own attitude toward it that matters, and for some Geography wont change that.

    Been here 10 years, had lots to learn, lots to "unlearn" but generally its a great place to be, and I enjoy a better standard of living and lifestyle here than I could ever have dreamed about in my country of origin.

  7. True can be either, personally I use TOT Wi-Net as that's the best overall speed and performance for my particular location as they wont run cables here.(too far out)

    "finding out whats there" is the key to this, as there may not even be cables in that location, so you are restricted to a "sim" and therefore that can dramatically change within a few hundred meters.

    My advice would be go visit and check it out first if its an important aspect to you. If not,just wait til you arrive and chat with a neighbour as to what "works".

  8. "Just about every thread and post" ?

    I doubt that very much as that would take(probably) several years.

    As for the "there are some very bitter and very unhappy expats living in Thailand", given the size of the community that doesnt surprise me at all. I dare say you will find that in ANY community of similar size and demagraphic.

    Perhaps it is you have just chosen to focus on the negative, couple that with the fact that some dont post what they actually believe, but what will get the best result/response to their own agenda.

  9. Seems to me someone is making the classic mistake of judging Thailand on one or two specific areas and not visiting the rest of this amazing place.

    In 10 years, never been stopped once "for being a farang". But then I have never been to "certain areas" as that doesnt appeal to me and I wouldnt want to live or retire in those areas either.

  10. "I think we should leave our petty arguments and pointless debates for another topic and another day. I feel genuinely disturbed by this"


    And I think the above quote says all that needs to be said at this time.
    There are clearly many that are close to this and its a very sensitive subject right now.

    Out of respect and to avoid any further upset to our members, this topic will now close.

    Suspended until further notice.

  11. Post removed
