The country who kill black people, supporting saudi where they hang you for being an atheist. Guess the US only wants the US to control both ends of the of the Gulf of Aden/ Suez canal.

What sort of scam is it when they give you your money back for something you asked for?

It was never knowingly asked for !!

It's hardly their fault you accidentally clicked on a text, though.

hardly seems fair to get ripped off clicking a link, what would happen if they just emptied your account and it still wasn,t enough. pay them?

Sipi is right, drug dealers are the lowest form of human life, i rank them right up there with pedophiles.

Filthy bent scumbag coppers are the scum of the earth, actually. Like ones that intentionally assault people without the right to do so. You should be ashamed.

It was always a lawful assault. That's what I was paid for. DEFINATELY no

Corruption and I'd agree corrupt bent cops are scum

Why would I be ashamed? ?

I was actually highly awarded for carrying out such diligent duties

Always lawful assaults, bet ya had that retort waiting. Do you have any Youtube of yourself in these lawful assaults?. I would think you should be ashamed, ashamed in front of TV, for posting such unhelpful spite.

Oh come off it. This is no worse than the elephants being exploited on the streets of Thailand. Because the person on the elephant is holding a bottle of bubbly their drunk just like the men, women and children in the pool are. What a lode of tripe.

Well perhaps if the elephant missed a step and fell into the pool and squashed your kid to death or did enormous injury to you or your gf, wife, buddy etc., you might have some more realistic thinking.

Also true that the resort and the elephant owner have something to answer for her.

Hloiday snap of a life time, overcrowded resort pool. If I allowed the Kid to go in this pool, the wifey would raise her voice,which would be my fault also.

Wonder if the price tag includes homes for the Poor , I know this tin pot dictator is sucking up to Israel, but does he know that by moving east, he will make it easier for Israel to flatten his new Palace, should the need arise in the Future.

Invariably these projects include homes for the poor- they are timeless distractions used for millennia when one must find common purpose. Cario is certainly one place on earth that desperately needs to expand outwards. The presumption that al sisi is expanding for his own benefit may work as a template to consider past excesses, and may be optional excesses in the future, but al sisi is not stupid- he actually needs to help his people or they will not survive a decade or more and for the same reason that he would be closer to Israel, which you clearly suggests is inappropriate or must have subordinate need.

Statistically, it is likely this "tin pot dictator" (one of the few lights left in the entire islamic world- in many years) has a much greater education than many here and insofar as he is a graduate of the US Command and General Staff College I think it's fair to say "sucking up to Israel" is much less sucking off Israel as you are really suggesting! You do realize nearly all former enemies in the middle east or officially or unofficially working with Israel because of the US debacle that is their regional policies and support for the Muslim Brotherhood? Indeed, the whole world seems to be aware of this.

dont make me laugh, homes for the poor. you have got to be joking. As for one of the leading lights, try telling that to the thousands of political prisoners. I never said it was inappropiate to move closer to Israel, I find it strange, if you want to quote. Most enemies working with israel, not the Iranians. just maybe the US supported stooges. Most leading lights have long ago been shafted by the US and Britain.

I understand people love their pets, but millions starving in the world and many without shelter, and yet there are dogs living in air-conditioned kennels. And the dog probably couldn't care less anyway, I don't know...

Well Rancid, if you feel that way, nothing to stop you donating whatever you want to the poor and downtrodden. Others will do as they see fit and take great care of their animals.

Over many years, I have seen so many "good causes" to help this lot or that lot of "poor displaced people around the world" Now many of those "poor displace souls" have grown fit and healthy enough to start running around killing and maiming other "poor displaced souls." How much of "Our Aid" went to people who are now members of ISIS etc.?

Sadly, the people you want to feed, will in many instances be only too happy to Bite The Hand That Fed them...or maybe chop it off.

I tend to doubt that the DOGS we are talking about building a decent Dog House for, will react the same way.

I suppose you would know about ISIl, as the west created them ,dont blame the poor. Others are greedy fecks and wouldn,t know FIT if it bit them. How much of our aid went to ISIL?, better to asy Dick head Cheney. EastTtimor, one of the Pooret countries in the World is getting shafted by the West and their not even MOOSlims, The Hand you want to feed is the hand you aren,t feeding.

Can I live on 75k a year in THAILAND , yes if you spend 74,999. Got it all figured out and I,m not a lawyer. Move on, nothing for the brain here.

Whatever I see I forget it immediately !

Impossible. maybe no empathy makes you feel safer.

Thanks. I was hoping to get some helpful responses from people who know better than I do.

Fortunately it looks like I got a couple of helpful responses (as well as a few not so helpful ones).

Thanks for all for your comments. This was my first post and I have learned a couple of things from it.

Assuming you're genuine, dont take any of this too seriously : we do get trolled on a regular basis, often by longtimers reinventing themselves under a different board name and having some fun at our expense. Most here would kill to have access to anything resembling 200k baht a month to live on in Thailand - your only enemy will be the nightlife but I expect that's the same in London / Hong Kong / most US cities.

"Most here would kill to have access to anything resembling 200k baht a month to live on in Thailand"

To be honest, I can't think how I'd be able to spend that much, for both me and my wife. When we're in Thailand, even when we're staying in Bangkok, eating out every meal, staying in a hotel (we don't do 5 star, just comfortable), taxis, BTS and metro, shopping etc etc etc, I don't think I get through much more than 40K Baht in a month. And that's in holiday mode, when you spend more freely than when you're resident mode. Ok, we don't do nightlife, but even when I was single and doing that stuff, I don't remember it being that expensive.

200K? I'd have to be buying expensive cars, expensive women and always eating in top restaurants to even approach that sort of expenditure.

So, when WAS the last time you were in Thailand ?? Was it during this century? You have trouble spending 1333 baht a day, for two people, including hotel ...etc... etc ...that is just CRAZY talk!!

Hmmm, crazy talk I suppose means not true, I could find a great place in BKK for 10,000 x30 days , and have 1000 a day to do what ever I LIKE. Drugs, sex, booze, Am wonder if I am crazy too, that was in another time, but the soi s are still there and friends.

Anyway, back to GrandMa getting blown up.

Is this common??

yes, My mother inlaw went the same way, after being kept in an Urn for 15 years. I think it was a celebration/ceremony for the new home we sort of built. I,d like to go the same way with a bigger explosion.

Maybe me with my cynical mind, but this post does not seem to be true.

I was going to write some smart arse reply about, go and ask your Mummy. I like your post better.

I remember the westerner, who complained about noise in Cha am some years back and was beaten to death, that information has probably kept me alive in Thailand , more than once.

Wallowed, choice word. tells me right where ya all comin from. Believe it or not, some folks just don,t have the same brain cells,love,money,guilt.

I would think you need to have a charge brought against the teacher, dont be scared of the Cops, as they will go through the motions. Unfortunately, unless you know a Lawyer personally, the lawyer might take your friends money and do F,all, Im sure a few TV members with businesses will know lawyers who seem to be not working in their interests and costing them plenty.

Its a totally selfish act and the ultimate 'look at me' to do this in such a very public place. He obviously didnt think about how his actions might affect others. Shame on him.

Clearly the part of your brain that controls feelings of empathy and sympathy is in some way faulty.

Thanks for stating it better than I could

Nature has a way of dealing with abnormalities. It's called natural selection. Why fawn over some loser that can't deal with realities of life? Go and be a dogooder in Syria or Gaza. It might toughen you up a bit.

Try and be a do gooder all the time,

Wonder if the price tag includes homes for the Poor , I know this tin pot dictator is sucking up to Israel, but does he know that by moving east, he will make it easier for Israel to flatten his new Palace, should the need arise in the Future.

live and let live,or go to the police

I brought s 50 gal electric water heater from the US and love it. Hot water in every sink and shower.

People that believe energy companies are holding solar back crack me up.

Why wouldn,t the Energy company not invest in holding back renewable energy, seems Mr nice guy Energy Corporation isn,t doing his job for the share holders, who by Law he must strive to get, the biggest bang for their buck,s. Worries me ,Dinosaurs that tow the Energy Corp Agenda.

Can you believe it, what a bunch of no hoping Drongo,s, they &lt;deleted&gt; lied about WMD,s, destroyed a country and call all who oppose them Terrorists, now this should keep the yanks quite and hopefully, convince them, their Government at the time really didnt have a &lt;deleted&gt; clue.

Get a lawyer, fight for whats right. Too many say you will never see a cent, dont believe it, there are laws to protect people like your friend. Be very careful of lawyer, in fact, He should represent himself, show the Girlie he means business , Please let us know how it pans out. PS. what school did your friend go to?.

I keep getting the main page when I try and go back to General Topics after reading a topic, I have book marked general topics but it still goes to the main page, I press thai forum and get ads for ads. I have windows 8 and wonder how others find the new Page.

Reminds me of going to a festival where I discovered uni sex toilets, not cubicals, just a large tented space. I got into position and then a female squatted next to me,all of a sudden I was suddenly constipated, couldn,t move it for quids. I had to head into the Forest for some peace and quite.

What has surprised me the most, are the amount of expats who complain about Thai ways, Obviously travelling and experiencing the culture won,t do, the Thai,s must change to suit western ways. What a joke.

Halal certified has be on Labels for yonks, I,m sure its been in the ould dart, since the 80,s.
