Some just cannot comprehend a sentence if it is not word perfect, others with more intelligent brains can ! As a young man i was a radio operator, sometimes when reading a message in morse code it was difficult to get all the words due to bad atmospherics or low signal strength, but 99% of the time, due to our level of intelligence and training we were able to guess and insert the missing words into the sentence. Like some here in TV., very few could not do this.

It was really hard to understand the article. I had to go to bild.de to make some sense of it. When I first read it, I thought the article was a joke. I suggest that in the future if you do decide to put a google translated article, you do a manual editing before posting.

3 people are dead. I feel sorry for the family and victims. This is just terrible and sad.

The only person to blame here is the one who could not control his feelings and had to go on a murderous rampage because his ego was hurt. Something we all say too often about Thais when things happen here, but this is just a reminder that people all over the world have the same weakness. This massacre was planned well in advance and (from reading another source) the guy had his wife on surveillance for some time.

Terrible.

"you do a manual editing before posting." = "Is this an "ORDER!?" lol

Than my advice - write to www.thaivisa.com and let ONLY English native speakers write here or these who can show a University degree in English or who make a Test in front of Thaivisa Mods.

I would suggest - you start thinking a bit when reading - I have to do the same as a not native English speaker on this Forum all the time!

And therefore, that article - only translated with Google translate, made enough sense to me, so I left him original.

You English guys are just to lazy and comfortable, that is all! By the way, what is your second language you can talk and write to people?

Actually, I am not a native English speaker at all.

Google translate made it look like a piece from Onion.

Just sayin'

LOL,

Now you see - how hard my life on that Forum is, I am by far, not so good in English same you and live with the help of Google translate all the time

Think, when German - English translates difficult for you, do you think English - German, is much better?

I struggle with that all the time and then get "scolded" from the "Better in English" or Native English guys - on top of that, - Thank you for that!

Any English speaking person with a normal brain can read what you say and understand you. It is the few half educated numbnuts that cannot, so just ignore them and keep on as you are. Good luck, and to the ones who cannot understand, get some education !

Maybe it was member 'theguyfromanotherforum' who posted and deleted that pic of her.

Someone posted a pic of a woman in a red revealing top where the silicon effect and facial plastic surgery was clear to see….she was also wearing thick gold bracelets in it …. she looked like an ex-bar worker in it….well, to me at least…

Then they removed the pic and now you're acting upset…was ist los, Gunther?

All this knowledge from a man who has only ever experienced bar girls. How sad.

When Thais become violent we call it Thainess.. now that a German slaughtered a whole family do we call it Farangness ?

Think you have got it wrong here ole son! Something like calling an act of murder in Viet Nam or Cambodia , Thainess.

German ness is not Farangness

At 295 baht per steak,this is not prime beef.It may be fair or good beef but differently not prime.(shipping ,customs cost ,profit,etc,).This would be a Much Lower grade of beef at home in the market.

How about trying it before you make such statements off the top of your head. Actually buy & try and then make your report.

A friend wants to send some 2nd hand toys to some kids in Thailand from Australia. Has anyone had any experience with customs as the recipients would not be able to pay expensive customs on a comparatively small package.

its hot in chiang mai at the mo

My friend from Chaing Mai is whingeing about cold he is. But he is in Prague on a tour.

In Phanat Nikhom as Alan Partridge said. 'Its hotter than the sun'. Must keep hydrated.

Do you know that alcoholic drinks are the worse things to take in extreme hot weather. Alcohol in hot conditions will take the body`s sugar content down to dangerously low levels causing coma and can be fatal.

Used to,have jokers working for me like that, but none of the bastards died, always there on payday.

warm flat leo; i'll pass

But that's how Poms like their beer is'nt it !

This is why i am enjoying the Philippines ,where i am on Bohol island,the hottest day in 2 weeks has been about 33c,compare that to Wichianburi,Petchabun province where i live in Thailand 41,5 yesterday,over or 40c for the last 2 weeks or so,and around that since the start of march,no rain at all since november,it looked dead and brown when i left.Also here the women are generally prettier and better dressed[no football shirts and short],everyone speaks English,all signs in English,legal documents,bank stuff,nice clear skies[not haze],clean beaches,and a clean island,have not seen people here tossing garbage all over,only one small part of the country i know,but i am dreaded returning to the oven that is Thailand,once i have sold my pickup,i will leave for good and relocate here,or Dumagette.,Just for the cooler weather alone would be reason enough,wish i had come here for a holiday in 2012,and moved here instead of Thailand.

Good luck for as long as you see it that way....

May your good fortune continue .....Update us from year to year....You should have a clear grasp by then of life there.....

Got a mate living in the Phillipines who tells me that he is sick of Typhoons. but i guess you don't get them where you live.

Not sure why a witness is needed to get a passport renewed. But that must be a requirement from your home country.

Why is your wife reluctant to try the local police? They might do it.

The U.K. Requires a witness to confirm that the photos you submit with your application are actually you, the back of the photo is agh ed by the witness.

The witness must be a Policeman, Doctor(MD), Lawyer, Accountant or. JP

Same rules apply in Ireland

Correct!

Friend of mine was in similar situation 3 years. Did a lost PP report to police then with the document supplied applied at Brit embassy for new PP. When he got it , he just paid an agent Bht 20.000 and got a new 1 yr visa. It was that easy.

Thank you gentlemen, my mind is now at rest .

My O-A expires July 31st. So will go to KL for a few days and return to get the further 12 months. Question is what visa will i have to get to return and what is the cost. And will i have to be back in Thailand before the expiration of the original ( 31st). Thank you.

A work colleague has just informed me that the One-Stop shop are turning down 90 day reports if the applicant declines to fill in the form

Did mine yesterday. Saw no crap like this. Arrived at Koh Samui immigration, saw about 500 m/c.'

place jammed 'chock a block with sweaty bodies. was told two hours, but was stamped and away in 20 mins. Fantastic service. Thank you KS immigration.

...i will be flying BKK- SR-BKK...

What is SR?

SEIM REAP i have already mentioned it in my earlier post !

Just fly somewhere in the region and back before the "use by date" of the OA visa for 12 months more "permission to stay" stamp.

Thanks Baz, i will be flying BKK- SR-BKK.........no worries. Thanks to all the other replies, even the smug ones.

After some very good advice from Ubon Joe regarding my visa , i mentioned to a friend that when my visa is due in august that i will be going to Seim Reap for a trip so that i can get a further 12 mths on my visa. This person tells me that to get this extension i have to go
"outside" of Asia, in other words back to Australia for me .

Apart from getting their kids a decent sort of an education, i cannot understand why anyone would prefer life in UK to Thailand.

Doubt he will be the last. What happened to the guy who is thought to have gone back to Myanmar !

What is the quickest option from Hua Hin

Ranong i should think.

...I doubt that ANYONE would willingly decide to climb 39 floors on the outside of the building...because 'they forgot their keys'.....

...every day....more and more.....

I don't think anyone willingly climbed 39 floors outside the building. He just climbed from one neighbors apartment balcony to his and slipped?

Very sadly it would seem to be an accident.

Why in the hell did his neighbour let let him do it. I would have said "No way mate" go get a locksmith.

I would think that you will have to apply personally to the Aust Fed Police. I received mine directly from them by downloading a form off the internet. Paid a little extra for express service. There was no problem at all.

On the subject of digging. Does anyone know where to buy a garden fork in BKK?

I have been looking for one on Samui for 2 years now without any luck .
