Dengue is nasty but shouldn't be life threatening in an otherwise healthy person. He is only 36.

Why travel with that amount of cash on you? Silly. He doesn't have cards and a bank account?

You need much more information before casting judgement. Of course there is alcohol. Did a railing fail? Falling off a balcony isn't that easy so what are the specific circumstances? Insurance companies will generally ocover a legitimate accident but not something effectively self inflicted. His family must be shattered.

Would it have been too much for him to put a shirt on? Or did they steal that too?

Why not? The CDC do:

We are more obsessed with this one, that's the main difference. Either way, we are going to have to live with it. What we are doing now isn't living.

Silly amount of money to have in cash. As someone said, they have banks in Isaan. And we don't leave gold in our house even though we have never had a issue with theft.

I cannot believe anyone is arguing against the fact that if you hand your passport over to a motorbike hire company you are "twonk" (I prefer <deleted>, but I am Australian) or a jetski hire company or a car rental company or let your hotel keep it. I don't live in Thailand full time but I have never checked into a decent hotel and not had to produce my passport. I never leave my passport with anyone except my wife or in a hotel safe.

I'm very pleased and encouraged by your post. However, don't you have a problem trying to buy shirts to fit an 11.5 inch diameter arm? The diameter of my upper arm is only 4.5 inch.
Yes, I believe circumference may have been the word our poster was looking for ?

You're in Thailand. If you know you have low T levels then exogenous Test is easily found. If you are 59 your child rearing days are over anyway. Just watch your ticker and your prostate but the supposed negative effects from Test have been largely debunked.

Fingers and toes crossed for these young lives. Must be heart wrenching for the families.

If you are over 56 inches around the waist then spend some serious money on weight loss and not business class travel. If you don't you are not long of this world.

Then what good is so called justice?
Ha ha, funny joke. The rice pledging scheme was the PTP government's policy. Sure it was economic lunacy, but holding her personally liable for it is silly. Blatant persecution. The junta needs the Shinawatras gone because those silly red shirted rice farmers who inconveniently constitute a democratic majority keep voting for them. Hence the absence of democracy at present. Put her in jail and there will be riots.
-
Very smart move to let her go. If they put her in prison she would have become a martyr for the red shirts. All the drama would start again.

"If the Western man does not understand the family dynamics, this can cause a lot of problems"......
You mean "accept". Plenty of us understand the family dynamics, we're just not prepared to accept (put up with) them.
And you don't see that as being profoundly selfish?
-
I haven't dropped by here for a long time because it was always so negative. Good to see nothing has changed, 90% of the posts are rubbishing Thais and Thailand.
Which compels me to say that my (Isaan) wife of almost 10 years is the most wonderful human being I have ever known. 1 of seven children from a dirt poor family of rice farmers and I have never been hit up for one baht. They are honest, hard working people and I am honoured to have been accepted into the family. So there are exceptions. -
It only tells a very small part of the story. Do a survey at Pattaya, or Phuket or Nana or anywhere. "Would you like to go back to the rice farm and spend 12 hours in a field or paddy for 300 baht a day? Or keep doing this?" Or, as my wife was doing before she got smart and moved to Pattaya, working 10 hours a day in a factory in Bangkok.
Plenty of people in the villages are doing drugs or gambling their lives away. You don't necessarily have to take drugs if you are on the game, it is just another life decision.
The answer is to make everyone rich, but that is impossible of course. The sex industry exists at some level in every society. Of course the workers need protection and the only way that can happen is if the government accepts it exists and regulates it.

I did. 7 years and going strong. 18 year age gap. And I "did it all wrong" according to this forum. Bar girl, Isaan. Anything is possible.

My wife's family are so respectful to me it is embarrassing. I provide for my wife and son of course but her parents have the farm and can take care of themselves very well. We have a Mu 7 that sits in the garage when we are away, which is most of the time as I live and work elsewhere. The old man won't drive it. When I tell my wife it would be better if someone actually used it, she says, "Dad said it isn't his car". Most Thais I know are very proud, there is the odd leech of course, but by and large they seem to like to fend for themselves.
As for the OP, things don't tend to change overnight. Things must have been like this for some time and if that is how it is I wouldn't tolerate it for one second. If that happened I'd tell my wife to make sure they never come back again. In fact she wouldn't tolerate it either. Tell them to get their act together or bugger off.

It is in case you get thirsty while taking a dump. Make sure you wrap your lips completely around the end and be careful, sometimes the pressure might be a bit strong and you'll spill some. Water is a scarce resource in Thailand.
I just figure a satirical post deserves a satirical reply.
You understand "mai pen rai" but have remained bum gun ignorant? What exactly did you do when there was no toilet paper?

What is "1 Baht" gold? I have seen it on the forum..1 baht..2 baht...but never knew what it means.
15.16 grams in jewellery form, 15.244 in bullion form. A little less than half a troy ounce of pure gold. Thai gold is generally 96.5%

No TB not at all. Just this pair. I am an Aussie and if they were Australian I would have said, "A pair of Aussie Lo So's" Emphasis on the Lo So. And sadly in my experience we knock out more of them than you do.
Bashing Norwegians now are we?Deary me, clearly the creme de la creme of Pattaya society. A pair of Norwegian Lo So's.
Yes, I am embarrased, but don`t think you know anything about a typical Norwegian.
This is far from it.

Pattaya transwoman arrested for stealing 300,000 baht gold necklace from Swiss man
in Pattaya News
Posted
a 10 baht necklace is like a ferry rope. And was he wearing it outside his shirt like the tossers do? Asking for trouble.
