  1. I’ve contributed to an old Farang cremation when we held a fundraiser for him the cheapest was is stick the deceased on the back of a pickup take him to the Temple get head monk to say a simple prayer when placing the deceased in the oven cost no more than 10,000 baht the embassy has to be notified by the hospital or police
  2. You need to do a UK will if you have any assets in the UK a bank account with money in it is an asset then you need a Thai will if you have assets in Thailand the Thai will should be in Thai and English
  3. I’ve taken care of two farang funerals cost around 25,000 baht but that’s on the islands which are the most expensive when it comes to other parts off Thailand
  4. It’s not just Phuket it’s all the island and most of them are working illegally as the don’t have WP but somehow the police and immigration turn a blind eye can only think it’s because Thailand is friendly with the like of both China and Russia and no doubt depends on Russian oil
  5. Yes the Swiss guy should leave for his own safety and spend all his wealth in a more welcoming country by a government intervention he would have no chance if it goes to trial give her a million baht and get out of the place !
  6. I have lived on the islands for 20 years there is no way would I live on Koh Tao I’ve been there three time by ferry with a return ticket the following day a one night stay is more than enough as far as I am concerned
  7. Over the years there have been a lot more thanks to social media it’s hard to bury bad news !
  8. I’ve never had a problem using a toilet in Bangkok it’s no excuse this piece of fat lard was just to lazy having said that in other parts of Thailand I’ve seen Thai men and woman taking a toilet break up against a coconut tree or on the side of the road but never at a holy shrine
  9. Throw him in the slammer for a month then revoke his visa for life
  10. Was be collecting an old age pension ! Did he go back to the UK and hand himself in to the immigration ! Did he flee from Thailand knowing that he committed abuse offences and thought better to be in a UK prison than the Bangkok Hilton all these unanswered questions eventually it will all come out in court during his trial and I suspect there are countless others living in Thailand escaping for crimes committed in there own country
  11. I served with NATO Forces suggesting Thailand should be considered is an utter joke having lived in the kingdom for nearly 20 years and knowing a couple of ex army personnel it just would not work
  12. I was at Fisherman’s a month ago with my two grandkids the sea was full of sewerage big turds ,used tampons in the water maybe this lady need to get into her bathers and have a swim down there
  13. All pie in the sky Thais say all these things but they never carry them out 20 years ago they were going to build a 320 berth marina in Bangrak where is it !!!!
  14. I’m all for it if it becomes a public airport and I cannot see that happening as it’s the biggest earner for Bangkok Airways The PM would be a wiser man if he invested monies into infrastructure such as sorting out the severe water shortage when you can’t flush the toilet because the water has been turned off or you can’t get rid of the sewerage only into the sea as I witnessed several weeks ago at Fisherman village Bohhut ( Turds In the sea) then we have a major problem ! The airport is privately owned and charges rip of prices i can fly from Bangkok to India for less than Samui to BKK
  15. True he can only act as a consultant as lawyers from other countries cannot represent someone who is appearing in court in Thailand so he must have a Thai lawyer
  16. Plea deals can be made especially in Thailands a few years back a guy I knew mother made a financial charitable donation for her son to receive a lighter sentence instead of the possibility of 15 years he got 5 he’s now back home in Scotland
  17. What were they drinking to get a 1,000 baht bar bill the most I ever spent in a lady bar was 800 baht and that was beer for me and beer for several ladies who I was playing pool with over a 3 hour period
  18. They’ve been talking this nonsense for years 20 years ago they were going to build a 300 birth marina for private vessels that would bring in more income than the odd cruise ship birthing overnight It’s all pie in the sky promises like the 10,000 baht free handouts for all those 16 and over it’s all total BS this guy has made so many promises he’s lost count !
  19. Thailand is becoming the Den of Thieves Russia is full of gangsters who have now moved to the likes of Thailand since the visa issue was relaxed soon it will be fighting between Thai and Russian Mafia there will be blood on the streets money laundering has become rife god knows what will happen if the Chinese mobsters get involved the government need to do yet another flip flop and reinstate the former visa requirements
  20. Had that been a Foreigner it would of been a court appearance aheavy fine and there visa revoked yet a thai gets away with a 1,000 baht fine pity his car didn’t sink into the sand and get flooded
  21. Without doubt Seatran is by far the best and safest vehicle and passenger ferry
  22. It was lucky they were only a few ks away any further out or had it happened in the dark of the night it would of been far worse I have heard rumor of some deaths I hope they are just rumors
