  1. glad to hear the baby is alright but....

    1. why go out at one in the morning into a dark alley in patong beach?

    2. why wasn't the boyfriend with her?

    when you're five months pregnant...

    True, this won't be the last attack to tourist, the Hotel must post warnings about travel alone at night, some very easy basic Mua Thai defensive moves for ladies... best place to post this is in elevator or ladies bathroom. Also leave valuables in Hotel safe, one where you have a double key to open safe, and the security boxes are in full view of CCTV.

    Learn Mua Thai basics for ladies ... a 1/2 days training would be with you any where in the world!!!...here in Pattaya, FairTex Sports club offers defensive training for European women, I see novelist women gain confidence and know this is the best insurance for defence and opens doors for further physical conditioning, this would inspire a NEW opportunity for Thai's to seek employment in the tourist industry.

    kidding??? 1/2 day and pregnant teen could wallop 4 men in a dark alley? does FT Sports Club know you're making them look foolish? or do you own it?

    It's some greedy git just thinking of his business and not the welfare of his customers.

    It's a bad idea to give them false hope that half a days self defence training in any style let alone a system like Muy Thai that has little if any defensive moves would protect them from any attack.

    4 ladyboys would give many an experienced martial artist a run for their money. Let alone a 19 yr old girl with 4 hours of bouncing around practice to help her.

    Ludicrous post......

  3. My wife had a similar issue in her school in Chachoengsao. The rich kids got the best education there and the poor kids had to work so much harder because they got what was left.

    She said it herself a 2 Tier education system. Luckily she worked hard enough to get herself through even though she was in the 2nd tier (that was also during Thaksins reign).

    This just smacks that PTP want to keep the poor ignorant and appease the rich so that they stay in power.

    Enough is enough !!!

  4. All the Anti Thai anti Pattaya posts...... Why are you guys even on Thai Visa if you hate thai's so much?

    Ok Motorcy taxi guys have beaten many farangs but twice now they have been a good source of help for me.

    First time a Thai lad going the wrong way on 2nd road no lights or helmet clipped my new bike I chased after him. The Motorcy guys up the road saw it and stopped him I strolled up and without a word pucned the shit out of him. The motorcy guys patted me on the back and said he was a bad man.

    Second in my local and a foreigner hit my car the motorcy guys outside saw himdo it chased him and stopped him. They then came back told me what happened and took me to the scene. Guy gave me some money of course i gave the Motorcy guys a tip.

    Sometims they can be good guys and understand that not all Farang are bad.

    I see very little trouble in Pattaya i was out last night for my Birthday got royally drunk and got home safely not a hint of any trouble.

    So all you pattaya bashers try coming here it's actually safer than a lot of other parts of thailand....................

  5. I spent a few months in Hua Hin and loved it but I was introduced to the underbelly and it sent me cold.

    Even one of the Police chiefs offering to lend me his gun for an afternoon if i wanted to frighten somebody. But he said please don't shoot it i have to account for the bullets.

    Totally crazy place I even feel safer in Pattaya, I hope Paul recovers to some kind of semblance of a normal life.

    Anywhere else Mafia is a hidden secret organisation only going after those that really deserve it. But in Thailand it's just over a bit of face or a few baht and they openly brag about being connected or part of a Mafia.

  6. PS: 700,000 tablets for 1.9 Billion, that's 2700 Baht per tablet, a bit more than what the Indians pays for their Educational tablet (Aakash): equivalent of 1800 Baht.

    Of course you have to build in the obligatory bungs for the right people.

    Even IF they get delivered and don't break (haha) kids handwriting skills will go out of the Window.

    When I worked in an office and was writing regularly my handwritten English was of a good standard. Now i rarely write I find it's scrawly and I miss important grammartical quotes etc.

    That will happen with these kids.........

    Another thing WHEN these cheap Chinese clones break are there backup Tablets for the Chilblains?

  7. After considering Englishinsiamm's posts I did some research and located the following article.I found it to be relevant to the greater issue of surviving street confrontations.

    http://www.geoffthompson.com/detailArticles.asp?id=154

    Geoff Thompson talks a lot of sense he worked the doors of Coventry for over 20 years with a background in traditional Karate he has also looked at other things that work.....

    One of these is the Wing Tsun Blitz Defence program he wrote a forward in GM Kernspechts book of the same name.

    New practitioners to WT learn the Blitz defence program this aims to get you competent in self defence in about 6-9 months. You learn and repeat the basic principles for the majority of attacks you will face to get you a little more street smart.

    After that you then get into the art of WT....

    The BD program does not make you invincible but the average thug would be seen off by it.

    If anyone wants to come to a session in Pattaya then pm me.

  8. Oh I forgot to mention you don't need to register the marriage with the UK embassy.

    You just get a certified translation of your marriage cert and that's ample for anything you need to do legally in the UK.

    You can lodge a copy with the embassy if you want but the cost is about 3,000 baht and all that's for is if you require a copy in the future and they will still charge you to get a copy anyway.

  9. Firstly congrats in your pending nuptuals.

    You need to go to the UK consulate and get a letter of Affirmation this confirms you are free to marry a Thai.

    Take that to a translator to get it translated into Thai.

    This then needs to be stamped by the ministry of Foreign affairs in Bangkok.

    After that the two of you go to the Amphur with all the documents and you sign to marry.

    Hope that's clear enough.
