and this came from Thaksin i take it !
you cant convict a man/women of a crime with a half hearted investigation and then kill them within 60 days, how many innocent people set up will lose thier lives?
If a person is found with vast amounts of Yabba/Ice in their possession then why not a speedy execution ?
1) Because they haven't killed anybody
2) Because the death penalty is evil
Drug dealing and drug-taking should be decriminalised and replaced by government-controlled and taxed supplies. The taxes would pay for addiction, rehab and advice centres. That is the only reasonable way forward. Drugs have always been with us; drugs will always be with us. Their trade and use have to be controlled and monitored sensibly, not attacked by the security forces as if the traders and users were some enemy army.
A nice rosy picture,which will never work,what Country will destabilise their Country,by legalising Hard Drugs? and escalating the Cancer /Enemy within?

What is it with Thaksin governments and killing drug dealers?
Too many Dealers,reduces the Big boys slice of the cake!

Taking your partner to your own country is the beginning of the end. They become westernized very quickly and realize they dont need you any more. It is the worst possible thing you can do. Believe me, I have experienced it. They become even more greedy. They also meet other thais who teach them how to be successful and its does not include you.
this guy explains it well
If you're a normal person who came here for anything but love, you'll do fine back home with your gf/wife
But.
If you're a lowlife/faty/loser/desperate man(ie: guy in my avatar) and think you saved your thai girl from a life of misery in bars or on a farm and bring her back home. Then yes she will find better because you're not that great to begin with and were just a meal ticket anyways.
I've found the 'normal guys' get taken far more often than the 'lowlifes'.
The lowlifes are usually that bit more careful.
Or Cunning!

You're problem is that you have cherry picked a definition of "culture" to support your contention and you have picked the wrong one.
I concur. The question is loaded.
The usual Paranoid answer UG.

Tourism numbers are going to drop like hell now ..
Want a bet, just watch the figures go through the roof. The ministers have a meeting in the morning with the P.M and I bet in a day or so the tourism authority will release a flash indicating record numbers and stating tourists are not concerned about a little firecracker. Floods, bombs, riots, curruption and scams are a magnet for top end tourists. Watch this space.
And not forgetting the Western World Governments,should mind their own business,and not issue any more Terrorist warnings,because there are no Terrorists,and it's effecting tourism for no reason.

More GRAPHIC pictures: http://www.oknation....2/02/14/entry-1
Good. The more graphic the better for that scum.
Have all these "graphic pictures" links been blocked" can't log into any,without seeing ordinary pictures of thais.

What's really alarming about some of the comments in this thread is the number of people who have adopted a vigilante position and who ignore completely the need for legal due process, scary, very very scary.
Legal Process?, she will undoubtly get it, but maybe will dissappointed, You wanna start a fighting fund for the Money grabbing *****.
Just a reminder to White western guys out there why Thai females say they like you, and it's nothing to do with your looks or charms
You've got a point. All those posters that think she has is 'right' in pretending she will commit suicide if she is unable to pursue more money by gaining admittance to the UK, should set up a 'fighting fund' to allow her to pursue her dream.
She spent how much on legal fees? Not exactly desperate then...
Probably the Husbands money in the first place.

He might want to design a kilt, for himself, with a metal shield in front.

A member of my Thai family went to the UK on her 3rd tourist visa. She said all the Thai wives she met were working as escorts there. This does nothing for the reputation of being married to a Thai in the Eyes of the average red neck or Brit for that matter!
People have stereotyped views of Thailand!
your last remark is spot on....as for the member of the family, think she should have had a look round for a better quality of company to meet...I mean if she not in that line of business then why the need to hang round with a load of hookers?
No thai wives are not all working in escort agencies, my missus works in a warehouse/factory job with a load of other thai people...again it's all about the company you keep
Agreed.
I know dozens of Thai ladies and their English husbands,and I have yet to meet one that does "Escort" work.
Do people really think that the husbands bring them to the UK just to put them on the game,yet more biased nonsense!

I realise you are doing a public service to tv members,but have you actually booked at the Internet advertised price?
I have seen this kind of deal many times,it's actually non existent,you can't book online,and when you phone up to book,the price has shot up to nearer £500 pounds.
Sorry but in my experience it's just another advertising ploy,to get you to phone them, but I really hope you can prove me wrong?
Just phoned this company from your link,fares are now £489,(and that's a long term booking) told the agent that wanted to press ahead with a booking,that I will not deal with them,on principle! the agent didn't reply when I asked if these low fares ever existed?
Fair enough. Then it seems it is a ploy on their behalf.
If so, my apologies for posting it.

No problem,I know you posted this in good faith,for the benefit of all.

I used to believe for years that bringing your Thai wife/partner to the UK was not a good idea,it would seem that over 30,000 resident Thais would not agree with me,and have made their home in the UK,and don't miss Thailand that much,and have settled in well,most of the Thai Ladies I have met,who have been here for many years have taken on the culture very well,and have no intention of going back,to Thailand,having firmly established themselves here,they appreciate the difference,and gains of UK Life.
One I know has been here 20 years (and never been back) speaks perfect English,and as she and her friends do not have to live up to anything,they avoid the Young Thais that are always bragging how Rich they are/or English husband is,designed to put one over on those that are not so materialistic,and the relatively new comers use it to establish their power ranking and "face" whilst impressing no one.
So yes they can change and accept another Counties Culture,but some effort must be made to steer them away from,undesirable friends who may influence them,and make them unsatisfied with their lot in life,especially in the early days of coming into the Country.
For the Older Guys,with younger wives/partners especially,there will be many problems ahead,if your younger wife falls in with the wrong crowd.........it's best to live away from Cities,and Towns with too much Night Life, you can be sure her new youngThai friends will be enticing her to ditch you,and find a younger man (which has been the familiar case with several of my male friends) down at the Night Club or local Disco, and next day they will be up at your place eating all day,and talking amongst themselves about the host,and what a <deleted> he is! (you).
The same mischievous ones,will be training her up to learn biased anti Male UK laws,and nothing like Thai laws,which may be of benefit to them later on.
Thankfully most of the Thais I have met in the UK are of a class above this,but the others are there,to be aware of.
Most people will accept the fact,that there is a large age gap between you,but be prepared for some sneers and remarks,mostly by Proxi,of course, most wouldn't say anything much to your face.
Your wife/partner is going to need lots of Thai food,while she is adjusting her tastes to more western food,which will come in time,meantime become acustomed to paying ridiculous Thai food prices,to keep her happy, e.g £2 ( 96 bt) for a small Mango,£3 (144 bt) for a bottle of Thai Fish Sauce,etc etc. But let's be fair how many times have we been yearning so much for Farang food we have also paid silly prices.And wherever you live in the Country, there will be a shop available that sells Thai Food or Chinese food imported.
Just when you think you have seen pretty well most Tourist style attractions and events,to last a lifetime,then you will need to think of your wife/partner who will find everything, is new to her,so the rounds will need to be done, boring and expensive for you,but exciting for her.
Boredom can also set in for her,depending on how high her expectations,of living in another Country were in the first place,so if you have done your homework properly,you should have gotten her a NI Number,in the first 3 months,and now might be a good time to help her get that part time job,with no problem of Employers worrying about employing an illegal immigrant! most employers dont know that she is entitled to work from day one,no work permits necessary(assuming a Settlement Visa) they will want to see her Passport,and Visa,and if working with children she will have to have the usual Criminal Record Checks,even if only doing menial work,and not directly working with children.
Which brings me around to their Driving in the UK,they are entited to drive on their Thai Driving licence for the first year,and after which they will need to take a UK Driving Test.
Also they will need to be Registered for National Health Treatment,...Registered with a local GP,...and a local Dentist,.................all of which are your job!
One of the nice things is that your spouse/partner,assuming she/he is a typical friendly outgoing Thai,will be a minor attraction with English people,and will make a lot of same sex English friends,something to be encouraged,even if you are left on your own,more than you wish.
So in answer to your question:Is getting your Partner out of thailand the key to a sucessful relationship?
IMHO I would say,its not going to be the key,its still the same relationship, which needs to be worked at the same as in Thailand,every situation, or new Country comes with its own problems,some new and some the same same,a period of relationship readjustment will certainly be necessary!

That might be your opinion, but in the eyes of millions of Thai's he is there equivalent...
If that is the case ?all I can say is: the Thais need to set their sights somewhat higher,which shouldn't be too hard.

It doesn't take an Einstein to work out,that on this occasion Yingluk is probably hedging her bets,in order to be right.
A serious water control problem such as Thailands,was always going to take years to solve,and not 6 months.
See how long the Dutch worked at mastering their water control problem.And yes they were two different problems, but this one will take years to solve,the same as the Dutch problem.

A remarkable woman, RIP.

That's great Majic.Sounds like you forgot why you came to live here in the first place.FREEDOM.Maybe you need to go back to your western country for a while and observe how many government departments there are telling average taxpayers how and where to sit stand walk talk ECT ECT.Got it now.Example.In Asstralia oops australia there are more government jobs (taxpayer funded jobs) than productive jobs.They have a rule for everything.It's killed all outdoor festivals ect.
Try staying indoors for a week,look at T.V or something.Stop worrying,relax.
Cheers Cobbler.
P.S. What government department did you say you were from?
Well I did'nt come to Thailand to have someone who has got no concept of danger to risk my life, and my familys life.
If you like playing Russian Roulette,then good for you! and my department (non governmental) is self preservation!
Have a good Songkran.Got it?
Sorry but I agree that your point of view is exaggerated. Your choice of the word Russian Roulette is characterizing your attitude. After 21 Songkrans and another 20 to come, with me and my kids enjoying each, I for one agree with Cobbler. We don't need western zealots to impose rules rules rules rules and legislate everything to death. If you don't like it go on a short holiday or simply go home! You obviously can't take criticism that your argument is NOT supported by all people, those who don't want to see Thailand loose it's Wild West-ness! That's the camp I'm in, and in to stay. Ever heard of the term "fatalism"!
You are most certainly entitled to your views,and so am I,and the members who took the trouble to vote,whichever way they decided.
Those that imagined the questions were loaded in some way,were free to abstain!

I guess you mean the heavy coating of Salt,but either way if it is Ash,as you say,there is no problem peeling off the skin.

Why bother? Anyone can plainly see that the poll is designed to make those who disagree with you look bad. Why deny something so obvious?
What don't you understand about ...YES and NO Answers ?

Just got My wifes IDL to remain Visa back, Did it all myself from Holiday Visa , Spouse Visa and Now Settlement Visa. I think many people worry to much. It can be done without an Agent, as i have just proved, I am not the most Intelligent person, has as been said many times on Thai Visa.They only thing i can say is just take your time read the Visa Application Forms. usually if there are any problems they will let you know and you can rectify them. PS I like the UK it not miserable its just the state of negative peoples minds. It can be the same anywhere, Including Thailand.
Ditto!

Fabians,thats what they are.They want to come to a free country cause they like it and then change it to be like home ,but with bananas and coconuts.Don't let fabians creep into your society.
Do you think that George Soros could be funding this poll?
It appears you are conveniently not going to reply to my questions in Post #51 or understand the points I made in the same Post.
All this paranoid stuff from some,is becoming quite tedious,so lets just let the Poll and the members answers decide the majority of opinion.
Of course you are free to start your own Poll,and use your own "Rigged" questions,if that's what you mistakenly think!

I read your link concerning Portugals virtual decriminalisation of Drugs,they are also a EEC Bankrupt Country,sadly a Nation that has given in to a minority group.
And a nation in severe decline.
