  1. This article is so poorly written, it's hard to understand how he ran it from Thailand. The article says he oversaw production oof watches, but later says they paid $200 and sold them for $400.
  2. THere is obviously so much more to the story than that, particularly shared hobbies that they live near each other, etc. Why be a curmudgeon? You should just enjoy a good news story instead of spreading negative vibes.
  3. Give me a break man. If you read this site regularly, there are plenty of farang who are supposedly sullying the peoples' them. Thais continue being kind and friendly to foreigners who give them the same respect.
  4. Dummy. I just don't understand foreigners who have a bad attitude about living in Thailand and treat the locals with such disdain.
  5. Thailand definitely has zero infrastructure for fighting forest fires. There is nothing in place to deal with this.
  6. What planet are you living on? It never happens in Thailand.
  7. Every time "I research." Really are you a scientist. Do you even know how to research climate trends except for what you find online?
  8. Keep Trying. Never gonna happen. All the big bands skip BKK. It doesn't have the venues nor big enough audience for them. Rolling Stones have known this for years and have never played in BKK, knowing they can pack them in Tokyo. Also Thais are not into many of the bands that make it globally.
  9. What's with all the Brits in the news lately in Thailand? Settle down blokes. If you can be in Thailand or travel there ... life is good! When you'e back home then you can resume your dreary demeanor.
  10. Did anyone bother reading this rubbish on Thaiger? There is not a single person interviewed or quoted. not a single statistic cited. Not a single company named. Not a single worker interviewed. A complete lack of facts to back up these assertions. The headline looks like a blockbuster investigative article, but the item on Thaiger offers nothing since it is completely devoid of sources.
  11. The problem is that on those types of vehicles they should be the left of the left lane and not in the fast lane, not to mention those types of vehicles ar not permitted on a motorway. It's obviously a danger. These morons are going to get killed.
  12. I find it deplorable that a headline writer and editor would make fun of the man's injuries by using a play on words in the headline and lede sentence of this article. It's really really in bad taste. That kind of headline should not be on an article about someone's suffering. It's disgusting. I expect this kind of rubbish in the comments section from classless on this site, but not from a news source.
  13. The teachers learned it from their teachers when they were kids who learned it from their teachers when they were kids. The dirty little secret in the Thai educational system is corporal punishment. The majority of Thai kids have been beaten, swatted, hit or otherwise abused in some way by a teacher in their youth. If you don't believe me as your Thai spouse or friends. They will tell you it happened to them too.
  14. Meanwhile the Thai girls walk around dressed like tramps and coifed for sex. Foreign tourists are quite conservatively dressed compared to the many Thai ladies.
  15. Good luck putting the genie back in the bottle after poorly drafting legislation that inadvertently made it a giant free for all.
  16. dI guess all the outraged Thais forgot about the Chinese tourist who defecated into a drain next to a sidewalk BKK restaurant in front of dozens of people in 2020
  17. No. .maybe in other developing and third world countries. But Thailand's electricians don't do a good job. Have you been to Thailand Have you seen the wires looped and in incredible disarray ? Have you seen all the exposed wires in public places?
  18. Who of those of us who have lived in Thailand is surprised this would happen? Thai electricians are incompetant. Nothing is grounded (earthed for you Brits). I can't tell you how many times I touched a piece of electronics that was plugged in and got a mild shock.
  19. PRetty shocking. Alld doctors have sown the hypocratic oath to care for anyone who needs it. This is shocking beyond belief all because they fear not getting paid.
  20. He could have gone around the world for more than a week with a group of Pattaya's finest for that money
  21. He was making a classless comment about wanting intercourse with the female cop in the picture. It's strange that that's what came to this cretin's mind when reading the article.
  22. YOu're stereotyping. and you're completely wrong. I interviewed the former Minister of Commeerce under Yingluck and his top aide was a katoey who had been educated at an Ivy League school. My kids dentist is a katoey. I worked at the Nation Newspaper with multiple katoeys who were writing news, and one of my friends is a metals trader and earns more cash than most farangs in Thailand. So yeah, you're stereotyping. I know another who has made her millions in the fashion industry. You only know what you think you know.
  23. Actually it's only backward haters that have a problem with them being called transgender. That's what they are. Keep drinking that wingnut Kool-Aid. If you have a problem with transgenders, why are you even here. ? Keep your Western prejudices at home. It's not appreciated in Thailand.
