The rate that foreigners are dropping dead, it would be a good idea for someone to start a funeral house catering

just for foreigners, I'm sure that will be a thriving good income business, unfortunately...

Great idea.What shall we name it?

Bake&burn

and the land down under?

RIP That man.

This guys actions were simply wrong.I'm a very semi retired Uk cabbie with over 30 years experience.If someone a'int got the fare it a'int gonna bankrupt me.Sometimes they ask can they drop the fare in the office tomorrow&for some tomorrow never comes,but others keep their word and drop it in along with a decent tip.People are people.

I have to say though,in Thailand in 9 out of 10 cabbie/passenger disputes it's the cabbie that's the perpertrator of the crime.If I in the Uk was accused of anything whatsoever I'm immediately suspended pending a final outcome.A situation I'm proud to say has never occured to me in those 30 years.

Why have so many of these ss scum been blessed with longevity?Most of them are in their 90's.

Pathetic.A group of pensioners enjoying a game of bridge.

Why don't the police do something more worthwhile with their resources?Such as arresting the real Koh Tao murderer(s).

RIP.

No matter how old or young people die,one things for sure,tomorrow's promised to nobody.So,if&when tomorrow arrives,then have a reason to be grateful.

Terrible occurence.The poor lady managed to live 73 years,only to be taken away by a bunch of cowards,and for nonsense her Grandson was involved in,which had nothing whatsoever to do with the elderly lady.Another innocent human being gone...RIP.

Hi Guys&Gals

I hopefully should be down in Pattaya within the next 10 days.

Please can anyone tell me if they have bought any of these pastes in Pattaya recently,and if so from where?

They were everywhere in all the usual supermarkets up here in Phitsanulok last year.now nowhere to be seen.

It is specifically the pastes in the packets (as shown) and not the sauces in the jars that I require.

As well as the Korma paste,they also done Massala,Butter Chicken and Bombay Potato pastes,and I'm interested in purchasing any or all of them.

Not sure if maybe they've discontinued them,as is per usual when one is just starting to enjoy something,but if anyone can help me out I will be truly grateful.

Many Thanks.

EARWIGO.

Lets just say if corruption were an olympic sport,Thailand would be extremely disapointed not to be on the winners podium.

This is so wrong.Why dont the prosecution just for once man up,lose a bit of face and release these innocents,then get on with

the Business of prosecuting the real killer(s).I have no doubt they know who he/they are.It's my guess they're related to some high ranking official.

The news everyone's waiting for isn't about a death sentence appeal,it's about the release of these 2 innocent lads,along with the capture of the true suspects,and just for good measure an apology to the Burmese government,with a nice bit of compensation that's made public.

I fear we're in for a long wait.

What happens if he wants to knock one out?

I think if he wants to yank his plank he should be allowed...His name btw is Andy Shandy.

Absolutely heartbreaking.The poor childs Mother has suffered a double tragedy.She's lost both her Mother&Child.My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family.

Thailand has always been a buyers market.Pattaya especially.This is not the UK whereby you can put your property up4sale in the morning and by the same afternoon you have 4 viewings and offers coming in by the next morning.

In Pattaya the housing market is saturated,but they continue to build.With so many farangs and their differing circumstances,it's easy to find an absolute bargain if you have the cash,but buy it in the knowledge that you either want to rent it or stay in it long term,even leave it to your kids.In other words buy if you can afford to lock your money into a property and forget about it&don't count on it as an asset, that may well prove very difficult to sell should you need to.Land is a better proposition for investment imho,also requires little upkeep.

Trumped up so&so.

Crocodile sandwich and make it snappy.

These type of happenings always make my day.

A heartwarming tale of bravery&humanity.

Mentally ill and driving?Nothing unusual there,I'm up against mental driving all day long here.

No,I think it's more a case of the judge being the recipient rather than the administer of the punishment,and found the fact hard to take.

You appear to be privileged that this man graced your life.Cracking story.God bless the elderly gentleman,and may he have many more years to come.

My friend was bitten by a brown recluse in Canada. His leg was so nasty. It swelled up to the size of a golf ball. There was necrosis all around it. He had to uses crutches and constantly have it drained.

Well,he managed to bite your friend so he wasn't quiet as reclusive as his name suggests.

I run 2 houses,admittedly owned outright,3 small motorbikes,a wife and 2 kids who are always well dressed.All four of us eat like horses,pay the bills,I dont go out very often choosing to have a beer at home instead and smoke as well.My pleasures are simple.Me and the wife go out most days on my bike and enjoy the country.My wife manages all this up here in Phitsanulok on 20k a month with a 5k a month back up,as well as money in bank for visa etc that is hardly ever needed.So of course it's cheap but no where near as cheap as in 2007/8 when my houses were built getting 70-80 baht to the pound.

Finally before you ask,my wife is not available to act as a financial guru to all those who can't manage money.

Money can obviously never replace the loss of liberty,but it will at least help.I wonder how much the 2 Burmese guys will be compensated if or when the Thai police have the guts to admit they arrested the wrong men?

Muslim women wear their veil for religious reasons.Will he now bring into law that sikhs remove their turbans or for safety's sake make them wear crash helmets.Why is this allowed?Because of a sikhs religious reasons....Unfair and discriminatory.

I think if in the first place you'd stuck to sentence 1 in Paragraph number 7,then Paragraphs 1-6 would have automatically fallen into place...All with the benefit of hindsight of course.

The US government is just great.

Lifts sanctions with the one hand causing 27 billion dollars to be wiped off middle east stock markets over a glut of Iranian oil soon to be flooding an already saturated oil market,then reimpose more sanctions with the other hand.
