I’m also getting forgetful so I now pay for 99% of my needs by using my mobile phone ( QR Code ) I very seldom have more than a 1,000 baht in my pocket I find it so much easier even if it’s 20 baht I will pay by phone I have no need to a cash point

Thailand the land of smiles and scams they smile when you hand over the money I learnt this many years ago when as I thought at the time a thai friend introduced me to a garage as I was after a Willy jeep I was to learn later that this so called friend received a 10% backhander of the cost of the vehicle apparently this is the done thing a good example is the tuk tuk drivers who stop at places to show you in the hope you will part with some money in order that they get there backhander I call it fleecing the customer

There was me thinking it was only foreigners in Thailand being scammed

It’s good to see that an ex prosecutor has the courage to go after those he believes did wrong in this particular case I wish him well in as his search for the truth however I worry about his well being

This would make a great NetFlix movie and what about the neck collar another picture shows him fully functional no sling no neck brace hair dyed what an amazing recovery

In Thailand you can be a convicted criminal and still serve in Government where else in the civilized world would this be permitted that’s why the adverts claim “ Amazing Thailand “

And it will only get worse with all these people on free visas Thailand has opened the gates to the Russian and Chinese mafia

Let’s be honest most Thais are lazy and then there are others who work 24/7 to look after the family I’ve always had the impression that Thai woman work harder than there men folk

If they paid Thais a better salary in the construction industry they could be tempted to work within it the salary is embarrassing so they have to bring in foreign workers to do the work

Here on the islands we get big bikers in groups of 20 or more coming over from the mainland for weekends I’ve never heard about any of them being stopped or searched but there again the majority are Thai !

To be a baker or pastry chef takes years of experience a good apprenticeship can take a good 3 years I know this from past experience I would suggest if you GF is Thai then sticking to Thai traditional cooking with a twist would be her best option what I find let’s Thai food down is presentation even the simplest thing like frying the egg to go on top of the rice is not carried out 2 or 3 hours before and sitting in humid conditions waiting for a customer ! Always cook fresh as much as possible don’t have food sitting in a pot for hours on end

I would get a second opinion before committing yourself to any type of surgery

Corruption is rife in the police in the past i refused to make a donation if I had I could have had it done and dusted within a few hours and my property returned instead I had to wait a further few weeks ! I would imagine if Big Joke sings a lot of high ranking police will be going abroad on extended holidays never to return as I doubt they hold as much power as the fugitive has !

Brown Envelope comes to mind personally I would have her visa revoked Putin can send her to the front line as she has demonstrated her violence towards other people

Kick her out 500 baht fine is a joke as for the suspended 15 days in prison they should of banged her up in the Samui prison to teach her a lesson the only person laughing is her as she has got off very lightly had it been a man he would now be in prison

Good news better news if both countries could come to an agreement to allowing Brits living in Thailand seeing there OAP pensions unfrozen but we know that will never happen

I’m presuming his wife is Thai and his partner was English . Think I’d rather do myself in than spend 2+ years in a Thai prison new a guy in Samui prison who was paying out protection money each week to stop him being molested

Whatever’s left will go to my grandchildren via a trustfund at 73 and on my own I recently decided to splash the cash on a Hybrid Toyota but there will still be value in that when I’ve gone I’ve also decided to make a good donation to the children’s home where I spent my early years yes after all these years it is still going strong there are no pockets in shrouds you cannot take it with you

There are plenty of animal rescue centers in Thailand

Putin needs woman like this to fight his war send her back home and put her in uniform she is not worthy on living on our beautiful island !

I had a run in with a Russian guy a while back he damaged the wing mirror on my car which is only a year old and cost over a million baht there beginning to think they own the island especially now this government have handed them out free visa’s

It’s clear by the photo that the Russian would not remove her shoes as she can be seen in the shop wearing them I always take my shoes of except for Bars and the big stores and there are only three of them Big C , Tesco , Makro and I forgot Home Mart Limpipong

If nativeBob doesn’t like Thai tradition I suggest he books his next flight home it’s that simple respect the traditions of the country after all your only a guest here !

Send her back to Russia Putin can ship her out to fight in the Ukraine we don’t want people like her on our island revoke her visa immediately

Why block his face out he’s a drug dealer lock him up and throw the key away
