Teaching is a noble profession that brings upon the next generation. For some teachers, it is not a calling but is just a job that bring food to the table .

This teacher should be taken away quietly and taught a severe lesson literally. I definitely would if it is my son. No Thai education is worth dying for.

Last week I was having dinner with missus at a restaurant in Korat on holiday. In came a schoolboy ( wearing a school uniform) selling bags of yogurt. I told him I need only 2 cups as the rest would be wasted and thrown away. however I will give him the amount for the whole batch. I can see the gratitude in his eyes as he waied me profusely. He reminded me of my son about his age.

Those cheapskates ,eat and dash , are the bane of foreigners living in pattaya and phuket. I believe in karma and those eat and dash might have the unpaid ingested food in their stomach turning into something else. Never indulge in something that is not rightfully paid for. Karma is a bitch and it never forgets. My take

Why demeaning the Chinese ethnic ? There are always good and ugly nationalities all over the world. I am ethnic Chinese and I behave like a good world citizen wherever I go. Polite and courteous.

Probably walking away to avoid any altercation with the furious Thai owner. Run away first then wait for police to show up before appearing again

Used to go for good food at somboon seafood located at soi 8 and Paiboon chaozhou restaurant along main road but not anymore after moving to bangna location. Similar restaurants nearby so no need to brave the traffic and parking problem anymore.

Wearing helmet is to provide road safety for you and not wearing one is on you if you ever get involved in an accident. Thus to the Thais, it is the usual ‘up to you’ philosophy. Your life your choice .

Bring your own then . Missus brought her own helmet when traveling overseas because of reasons stated above.

You are correct. The internet social media also contribute to the arrival of the white trash. Thailand with its relatively cheap accommodation and availability of women doesn’t help here.

The cacophony of Indian drums is enough to drive anybody nuts….loud and primitive drumming going on and on.

Once the email had been hijacked, the gang played the long game studying the business operation for some time. Requesting the payment to be paid to other banks in other countries are common in international trade. This is for efficiency and lower cost of foreign exchange payments. I had a Japanese company ,whose email was hijacked ,paying into my supposedly hong kong bank account while my company is in Singapore. Scammed almost 40,000 US$.

Sometimes tourists do not know how to go about paying the fines and getting the clamp removed especially when their mode of transport can no longer help them. &nbsp Trying to physically remove the clamp may be a lack of foresight and desperation. once my car was wheel clamped along sukhumvit soi 47 Bangkok . I have no idea how to go about it as there was no note or number to call. Finally I managed to ask local Thai for help. Got onto a motorbike taxi go to the relevant police station , paid the fines and (700tb) got onto the motorbike taxi again back to my car to wait for the police to unclamp . Waste of time indeed. So I believe the tourists would rather just pay the fine if they could rather than going thru the hassle of changing wheel. Just my feedback though.

A 17 year old lady traveling with just a mobile and nothing else from Bangkok to pattaya at midnight do ask for some serious questions especially when a hailing ride was cancelled halfway the journey. The police had better ask the driver of the ride some serious questions . Overall not a good omen.
