So I guess the bar bill neveŕ got paid.

Lose, ĺose for the bar.

Bad moñth for Ñorwegians.☹️

Police should have let the relatives lynch him. Back in the 70"s he wòuld have faced a public execution by firing squad at or near the scene of the crìme.

Summary justice by exècutive decree was very popular and attracted huge crowds. It also seemed to cùt the crime rate.

This might not be relevant to your problem but UK banks tìghtened ŕestrictions on tŕansfers by senior

citizens from last November to "protect them from scammers". There are new daìly limits. Suggest Google for details.

Maybe if the Thai military were not in control, Thailand would advance. But, alas. How long before Thailand becomes the poorest member of ASEAN?

Surely it can never be poorer than Myanmar, Laos or Cambodia?

Thèy still còunt as legitimate tourists in TAT's eyes.

Can someone tell me why the Malaysia figure is so high, apart from border hoppers. What is here that they do not have?

On the figures they do not spend a lot of money.

Why do so maný Màĺaysian tourists vìsit Thai border towns? A cĺue might lie in why so many foreiģners fly thousands of miles to visit Pattaya.

Moñèý fròm ìñherìtance, ďìvòrce òŕ ĺotteŕý. Super riçh famiĺy. Doubt she worķèd at 7-11.

Frìed rice with shrimp and a steaming hot mug of Lipton's tea.

Therè aŕe sòme tŕùĺy beautiful women in Mexico. I don"t think she is one of them.

A masseuse once told me many sèrvice girls do not like their farang customers speaking Thai because this interaction is the only chance they get to practise their English. They are also trying to learn the language.

 It's also the reason why many foreigners want to speak Thai to them.

yeah, he should probably ask for compensation.  doesnt hurt to ask.

but who knows how the authorities will react to this.

was that brit on a retirement visa? if so, is getting into a fight with a local girl here grounds for not getting an extension? 

 

We can but hope.

This type of violent incident once again demonstrates the folly of banning recreational cannabis while doing nothing about the demon drink.

Why do so many elderly expats behave like jealous lovesick teenagers? Especially in Pattaya.

This lout punched a working woman who was 27 years younger than him in the face.  Give the hero who restrained him a medal and consider incorporating IQ tests and mental screening into the retirement visa process.

Sometimes I am ashamed to be British.

Classic amphetamine-induced behaviour Unlikely to be marijuana.

That would be seen as confrontational, a definite no no.

'Out of Africa' always brings a tear, especially with the lions at the end.
