    In a country where anyone can ride around with blue or red lights, or even a street side shop, with flashing blue and red lights, there is not much hope for law enforcement! 

    Oh, and as far as a drag strip for kids, who is going to pay for the insurance? Who is going to inspect the bikes, to make sure they are safe? No one!

     

     

    As to lights we used to have them in Canada until they got banned but it was a long time before they did that.    There is no need for insurance for a piece of property that is left open and unattended.

     

    As to making sure the bikes are safe well that is the user's job, however, I can tell you those drag racers are the best people themselves to tell someone they will not race them.  self-policing is the best method.  The goal is not to set up a fully functioning drag strip it is to give them a space that is not a city street.

     

    The fine for racing on streets will be an automatic possession, loss of license for a year, and family name and age with pic put on a database for insurance companies.  The insurer of the bike will be informed and steep[ insurance rate hikes.

    “I don’t have another woman. I am always in training,” the boxer said

    That sentence may say it all.  American girls follow their fighters because they grow up with it and hope that they become a name in the US.  He has done something no Thai has done and is a big name int he US and has to train and fight there for the big fights now.

     

    She did not grow up with the limelight and sometimes it can be too much especially if he is always busy

     

  3. Before we blame the Thais let us think for a minute.  

    First where were plastic bags originated US.

     

    Why convenience and saved money to the company.

     

    Why did we go away from the glass bottles of pop to the plastic to save money in production?

     

    The solution is easy.  Go back 50 years.  Glass bear and pop bottles with at return charge of X]

     

    Paper bags at grocery stores if you want you can use plastic but have to bring your own.

     

    this will not only help the economy but will also help many of the people on the street.

     

    As to the vendors go back to paper plates and bowls.  I am afraid you are not going to get away from plastic utensils but they are easily managed.

  4. Lesson learned

     

    I have to agree with everyone.  

     

    If you married in Malaysia.  Please correct me if I am wrong, then you can file for divorce there.

     

    As to giving her any documentation and being a stand-up guy.  FORGET IT.  Even if she decides that she does not want money from you the family will and you will be fighting most of your life.

     

    Chances are that any money you do send to the child or anything you buy the child will in fact go to the family for what they want not for the child.

     

    The advise that you have been given is good advise.

     

    1. DO NOT GIVE HER ANYTHING

    2.  DO NOT ASK FOR THE DNA TEST.  iT DOES NOT HELP YOU AND IT DOES HELP HER.

    IF SHE KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE FROM CONTACT YOUR PARENTS IMMEDIATELY AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION BEFORE SHE CONTACTS THEM TO GIVE THEM THE SONG AND DANCE OF HOW BADLY YOU ARE TREATING HER.

    3.  FILE FOR THE DIVORCE SOONER THE BETTER.

    4. GET HER OUT OF YOUR LIFE MOVE ON AND ENJOY.

  5. The school was in process of applying for state funds to build a permanent building to replace the 38-year-old 12-classroom building that was lost in the fire, Wilaiwan said. 

     

    Why after 2 weeks are they only in the process of applying.  I would have thought they would say applied.  

     

    I also see no mention here that it is a government school.  Just wondering?

     

    It is a shame though that it happened.  Hope they find a solution.

    I guess you and I have a different idea about paying and if this adds up as high as renting I seriously question how much you spend on dating and if its really dating. (if I were to rent id need a few a week) 

     

    I have had financially independent GF's here in Thailand who would insist on paying half of the bill and paying for other stuff too. I guess that is an alien concept to you ? Not saying that all my relations have been that way here but I certainly have had a few where things went 50 / 50. In my marriage here with a Thai she paid her way too.. I paid a bit more but she paid for the mortgage and car too. I certainly did not pay of it or lose money on it. (it was actually cheaper living together and sharing cost then living alone)

     

    You seem like a reasonable guy, don't you see the difference between someone giving a salary and paying a huge sin sod compared to someone in a normal relation where no salary is paid and the girl is taken to diner once in a while. You know as well as I do that there are graduations.. and even if you paid a sin sod or a house (stupid IMHO) you still can't claim owner ship of a woman and shoot her if she cheats. A relation is never a sure thing. 

     

    Just that you paid for her does not mean she has to stay with you forever or that you get a refund.. that is the problem with paying for it if they can they will separate you from the money as payment is what they want.. not the relation. Does not mean all relations go well.. otherwise I would not have had a divorce.. but even during the divorce I did not get fleeced. So there you have it not everyone pays for it.

     

    If i look at my clients (Dutch people in the Netherlands) you see both people working and contributing. Quite normal where I come from. I see their taxes and accounts.. so I have a fair idea. 

    Robblok  I am not saying that we pay huge fees or that we own or have any huge rights to the girls.  BUT, you have to admit that in most relationships it is the guy that pays for the date.  I am not talking about just here in Thailand.   Anytime I went on a date I always paid it is just the way I was brought up.  Did I expect anything?  Yes, a good time and maybe a kiss in the beginning.

     

    All I am saying is that in some way we all pay for sex.  It is not free.  I am a believer that nothing in this world is free except maybe the air and I am waiting to see how long that lasts LOL.

     

    Personally, if I was asked to pay a huge sinsod to the family I would probably want a lot of assurances on how the marriage was going to be.  The fact that they even have a sinsod puts the girl into a kind of she is my property that I am selling frame.  I do not agree with it but I can agree that if after a few weeks or months the relationship does not work that there should be an agreement that the man gets his money back.  Let's face the main reason to get married is to have a family and if either spouse refuses to have sex then that rules out the ability to love or have that family that he wanted.  

     

    I realize that women are not cars but bear with me a minute.  If you were dating a girl and she said she was a virgin and that she wanted to wait until her wedding night but, that she wanted to have children, then on your wedding night you found out that she was in no ways or means willing to consummate the marriage or to have children would you stay with her.  If the answer is NO and that you had paid a dowry would you not look to get that money back?  Just wondering?  Is it not false advertising?

     

  7. Every country has pickpocket and petty crime issues during mass parties or such.  Just look at the police presence in the US when they have a big bash.  NYE at times sq always had a high police turnout.  Same in Toronto.  

     

    The only thing I suggest is that people not carry cash and such in bags 

     

    I hope that the gang they caught has her stuff.

    A woman is not a car, and I would not pay for a woman. Maybe that is the difference I would not pay for a woman, thinking I have bought her and have all rights on her. Cars are objects and can be owned.. woman cannot. 

    roblok 

     

    Come on man we all pay for it.  We may not pay large cash up front or after but we do pay for it.

     

    a few nice dinners

    gifts

    coffee

    movies

    nice clothes

     

    It is called dating and it is almost as expensive as renting LOL

     

    The problem he probably ran into was the I am a good girl and cannot do that until we are married.

     

     

  9. This would have made a great court case.  If he had taken her to court for the dowry under false promises.

     

    It is too bad that there is a lack of education in the small villages. 

     

    I hope that they find him before he dies and that he has to face the consequences.

     

    We see too much of this in countries like Thailand. 

     

    On the other hand, the father had t know that if his daughter did not consummate the marriage that the groom would be back for the money.

  10. Hi folks

     

    I have an opening for a Thai girl that wants to teach but I do not know where to find them.  (NO I am not hiring in NANA or patpong.  

     

    Can anyone suggest how or where I can find them on the net?

     

    I am living in the Rangsit area if anyone knows a person.

  11. Have not been a renter but was a rentee.  A lot of countries have people that do all the renting.  Thereby they will rent on a year to year basis and when one dip leaves they will move another in.  It can be good but again it depends on the country and what their standards are.

     

    I would not hesitate to rent to Canada, UK, Germany France,  or US.  But would have definite reservations about India Pakistan and African countries and I would definitely not rent to a diplomat directly.  If they don't pay you the only thing you can do is wave as they are sent back to their countries what deny any involvement.

    Why the army does not have a lady boy brigade in its arsenal is beyond me ,

    a whole battalion could be put into service, a little different than the regulars, training maybe, but from what I have seen and read, some real killers would be amongst that brigade, and pity the poor enemy  soldier who ever got caught by them, 

    women or half women are being discriminated from serving their country, and its time for equality of choice , it may save some men who do not want to join, in the final tally and picking of the coloured straw, 

    Serving your country should be a fairer system across the whole board, and not used as a cop out because you decided to grow boobs, or have your dangley bits removed and an axe mark installed.

    Why could they not just say ok and move them over to the women that are drafted or move them to the noncombat trades?  that would be a win-win for everyone including the ladyboys who could actually get a trade or skill.

  13. OK let me ask a few questions.

     

    1. Does Aussie law require MC drivers to wear helmets?

    2.  If Alcohol or drugs are found in the system is your insurance company liable or are you on your own in a CAR accident.

    3.  If you are exceeding the speed limit and recklessly driving what happens?

    4.  Do all Aussie car insurances cover you driving in Thailand.

    5.  How many people do you think to come here for a wedding party and do not party?

    6.  How many people do you now that stay at a party until 4 am and have not been drinking?

     

    I am sorry for the guy but the issue is the same all over the world. people get on crotch rockets and think that they are god's gift to motorcycles.  They drive fast thinking that they have it under control and when they hit the brakes realize they have nothing.  This includes people that have driven smaller motorcycles with the same license.  

     

    The rental companies if anything should be restricted to renting small 100cc bikes only.

  14. If your wife is selling to move then before she can sell it has to be debt free no matter what country you buy or sell the property.  If it is a bank mortgage the amount paid must be enough to pay the mortgage off in full and the money goes directly to the bank.

     

    I agree the "friend" sounds like a shark, not uncommon here or anywhere else.

     

    My suggestion would be to have the lawyer email you the papers that you need to sign with a translation on their letterhead.

     

    You can then take a look at it and read it check it out and sign and return either by fax or by FedEx.

     

    I would not return it via email.  FedEx takes 3 days.
