He should be embarrassed even bringing up that bill.

Where does he get that he was overcharged from?

If his bill was for thousands of baht understandable, not jut a few hundred.

Sorry i do not agree that hospitals here over charge farangs.

Every 3 weeks i go to our local hospital for 3 hours intensive physio 670 baht

Sometimes 1 physio and assistant with me sometimes 2.

Cost is 670 baht  small charge for 2/3 professionals time.

Come on, a few hundred baht and he is complaining????  i just spent 79, 000 baht for my wifes stay in ICU in Korat for Aspiration Pneumonia.  She is still in the hospital in a regular private room and is getting oxygen and rehab. I consider this price reasonable eventhough she would get it free in America, but she cannot fly.

you would suspect that maybe he dosent have the skills to  to help himself  eg manners!!!

  Back in the 70's had allot of Hippie/Backpackers try to get into Thailand. Mostly scum, looking for handouts. Back then Immigration

would not let you come into the country and a tourist visa was only two weeks. Time to Throw out the Trash here in Thailand !!!!

It gives a bad name to all of us who respect the laws and look and act respectable  !!!!!   

I remember Pattaya back in the early 70'S when it was a one lane street with a tree growing in the middle of it. Back then the water was blue and only 1 Hotel, the Pattaya Palace.  rest were guest houses. I was stationed at Ubon RTAFB  from 70-72. Twelve hours by train from Ubon to Bangkok. had a few European tourists, very gross men and women who did not use deoderant or shave. The women had more hair under there arms then me !!!! Some wore bikikis and all the gross pubes hung out as well as not shaving there legs. Gross !!!

How many of the top monks stole millions of dollars from the poor, have wives and children, drink, and even ask for underage children????

Practice what you Preach  !!!!!

cases like these makes one question "the land of smiles" school.

more like the wild west where scores are settled by the gun rather than the rule of law.

looks like it is a sin to get into any tiff with a local.

: locals have Guns, Falangs don't !!!

At 500k-600k a year for international school in my case times 2 about a million baht. I am seriously considering schools in the usa. My thoughts are it doesn't need to be until they are around ten years old. The thai private school should be sufficient for the time being.

My Grandson is going to an International school in Korat run by Singapore. He is learning 3 languages at one time and he is only 6 years old. his I.Q. is up there so i like the idea of stayin till 10, then going to America for higher education,

Will be my son and his wifes decision !!!!!

So they caught no one , well done

They caught two, the rest had enough money for the BIB !!!

no smoke without fire, i got a feeling we are not getting all the facts, his poor old mom sees nothing wrong with her boy. his first mistake was marring a Thai lady when he is physically and mentally not a 100%

If he is that disabled, how did he get to Thailand and marry a thai girl????

Patjk, if your looking for a job as a masseuse, these jobs are reserved for Thai Nationals. I would stick to teaching English with the proper work permit.

Unless he's Gay or BI

Pssssst! should someone tell them about Walking Street? or Nana Plaza? or are those 'secrets' only a few of us know about?

PS a 'friend' familiar with those places told me about them

Nana and Walking Street are slums compared to this High roller area !!!!!!

I've actually seen worse. Not that long ago, I witnessed a German 92 year old living with an 18 year old here in Udon. If that wasn't bad enough, they had already been together for 2 years. I heard he died just shortly after, but I'm still baffled and speechless about it, like <deleted> ?

(Yeah, I'm not joking)

Another couple I met in the very same village is a 86 year old (also German) being married to a 24 year old. While it's less controversial legally, biologically and neurologically, I can't help using the exact same words again, <deleted> ?

It's just not right...

but you forget they were in love

Don't be to quick to judge, I k new an 18 year girl in Ubon that was totally in love with a 68 year old man and wanted to marry him, but he would not marry her. Most of her friends liked him a lot also. Don't know what the attraction was, but wish I knew as some of her friends were beautiful. He had no money, looked old as all get out and had teeth missing in front. Go figure.

Long Tongue !!!

In Love with the Almighty Baht !!!!!

I think this account holds some truth to it. In prison, inmates run what happens inside and guards only watch and, as in this case, the guards perhaps are as evil as the inmates.. What bother me so about this is that this guy is probably in jail just because he is a foreigner. I have read so many instances where death has occurred due to negligent driving yet, the Thai never seems to go to prison for it. A good example is this recent case where the guy drove 200 kph and crashed into the back of a car killing to students. I don't see him even looking at a charge for their deaths, only his bad driving. Pathetic to see double standards across the board with foreigners and Thai.

Welcome to the Land of Two Smiles !!!! Falang and Thai !!!

It is their first offence. Even they did a terrible thing. A first offence for assault does not carry a prison sentence. Not only in Thailand, but all western countries also. So when everyone hears that they got a fine and a 4 month suspended sentence, don't be complaining that they got special treatment, because victims were foreigner. This is the standard sentence, including in our countries.

no so! in the United States they have a "hate" crime law that includes old folks! hit an old person and go to jail! period

Show me the law and the penalty.

This would come under the common assault law. It was not premeditated and first offence.

Though there is an extra penalty, for assault if it was 2 or more doing the crime.

Suspended sentence. Standard.

I also get sick of people going on about victims being paid off to avoid prison. This is not true. Thailand has a very good law, that every victim is entitled to compensation from the criminal. This sum can be agreed upon before court, it has no bearing on the criminal sentence which by the law must be enforced. Or, the victim can prosecute the criminal in a civil case if victim feels compensation is not enough.

Many countries do not have the victims compensation law. Everyone makes money, the lawyers, the court (fines ) with the victim recieveing nothing. I have been a victim,the money does help cover costs of medical, court attendances, and other.

What have you been smoking???? What meds are you on?????

I hope that these are the real perpetrators, and not some poor schmucks who are being set up in order to appease the media the same as it happened in Ko Tao.

They don't look Burmese to me !!!!!!

He must be extremely eloquent online, from the picture, I can't see any other reason for him being an "idol"...

I think maybe a queer thing?

Lotta that going around in Thailand !!!

What is true love ?

Something you won't find in Pattaya, pat pong, or soi cowboy !!! Desperate old men go to Essan and buy a 15 year old. Pretty disgusting !!!!!

Go get your passport you should always carry it in case you get knock down by a bus.

Bar girls & motorcycle taxi drivers have been know to be dabbling in the registration of sim cards as a side line

So much for security when a Bar girl, Taxi driver or Joe Blow will register for you !!!!!

Sometimes it is easier to just go with the flow and try not to make sense of it.

Yes...but remember, the flow always goes downhill.

Find a new wife. The crap the falangs put up with is ridiculous !!!

Thailand, you are sooooooo lucky. Really, you are.

Just wait till the next crash of these great airlines !!! Stock up on BLACK PAINT !!!!! Well, Paris has 57 Terrorists working on the planes at De gaul and Thailand has Rice Farmers doing Inspections????

I've been reading some articles lately saying the fed may be forced to raise rates faster and quicker than anticipated. The US economy is doing quite well.

http://news.morningstar.com/all/dow-jones/us-markets/201512046926/us-employers-added-211000-jobs-in-november-update.aspx

Yes, and who writes those articles and at the behest of whom?

The combined private and public debt in America is about $60 trillion.

When a casual employee in a coffee shop working a couple of hours a week counts in the employment statistics exactly the same as a 60 hours per week executive, it paints a rosy picture.

When banks use fiat money created by Quantitative Easing to buy shares and bonds, driving up prices, does that mean the share or bond becomes more valuable?

When shale oil companies have to keep producing simply to pay the interest on loans used to drill wells with rapid depletion rates, does the economy as a whole benefit?

It depends on which media outlet you want to ask. However, when you have 46 million Americans on food stamps, IMHO that does not indicate an economy which is "doing quite well".

46 Million on food stamps are mostly blacks and Obama's illegals !!!!!

On the other side of the coin, the junta may not want repeat of the rioting in BKK streets that we saw a couple of years ago, by the red shits.

Because if an Unscrupulous leader of the red shirts and other spliter groups, who wants the junta to fail may be wanting to get the rioting in BKK and other places, hoping that some of the rioters get killed or seriously injured, which then allows simpathetic people to rally to their cause and severe criticisim by western leaders.

Just an un- prejudice view from a different angle.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post

Point the last protests were NOT by "the red shirts" it WAS SUTHEP and his band of hoodlums.

The Suthep protestors were peaceful !!! the Red shits were not !!! they burned buidings in Bangkok, killed people, and tried to incite Civil War !!! All involved should be either locked up for life or kicked out of Thailand !!!!

What? There must be a shortage of personal servants for the top brass.

I was drafted in middle Europe.....

As drafted soldier you are a slave....

I think it is a good idea because so many young Thai's are getting away from serving in the military because they just had mom or dad pay a few baht.

the NEW Thai generation is absurd and they need to find out what discipline really is!!!! Not getting your way everytime with mom or dad is now a

thing of the past. They want everything free and mom and dad are allowing this. Time to stop paying money to get into a college or stay out of the

Military!!!!!!!!

If the Luuk Krung has a Thai citizenship he or she can do what ever they want as they are Thai,only discrimination can get in their way.

One little problem, if the Luk KUNG has duel citizenship, then it is a whole new ball game !!
