What i dont undersand is, how comes the USA have sanctions against Cuba and then put a millitery base in there country? thats like a giant stap in face with a rotton sea bass.

As sad and reckless as this is/was i commend the driver for telling the truth, much more than many would have done especially in the west.

Limited space for these majestic animals. What a shameful thing where the government allows them to be kept in non zoo supervised facilities like a makeshift pen in a monastery. PETA should get involved immediately in investigating the habitat of these big cats in these Thai monasteries.

Temple, zoo, private collection, really not much difference in thailand, not been to one and seen them housing them properly.

Ow and i forgot to have ago about the fact that when something like a pole or phone box is removed they always leave 4-10inches of it dangerously sticking out of the ground the roads bow in like a u just so that when it rains they can make shore it floods and and incompetency seams to be a art form that is taken very seriously to perfect.

Maybe top city for short term tourists but its also polluted, traffic is horrific, dire shortage of parks, prone to flooding etc. It has its good points but in no way in the world could any sane person call it the top city in the world to live in. Perhaps according to their own narrow criteria but not as a whole.

Nothing in Bangkok makes sense its a heap, the annoying thing there is no legitimate reason why it is not better and the fact that it gets voted for awards like this just encourages it to stay a heap.

So where was the picture pf the wife being cuffed and take n away by the police for endangerment of life and poplic disorder?

She had the nerve to shout abuse at her husband after she took the stering wheel and created this accident!

Well, well dome congratulations, this just tells me what bunch of _____ the authorities and governing bodies really are, all the real hard problems in this country and they cant seen to do anything past .5%, but now they have decided to concentrate so much effort into exporting westerners who really don't course that much of a problem, not getting rid of immigrants from neighbouring countries that really wouldn't take much time there all over Bangkok begging on the streets, or how about concentrating efforts on finding somewhere for al those children begging or labouring on the streets somewhere to live and get a education, s e basic clothes and a meal.

Congratulations well done to those in that proud picture.

I love the way theres only been two comments, the nothingness just says it all!

Quite sickening really, but hey this is what happens when a load off uneducated bush ben and women decide to ake over the country.

As for therice scheme, one has to ask if this wasnt planed, yingluck, is a probapaty developer a realtor, what happens when you tell all the farmers there future crops are going to sky rocket in value, land goes up and they all run to the bank for a loan and go spending crasy then end up in loads of dept, but hey it doesn't matter cos there going to get rich from there future crop. Then all of a sudden they are told "we are sorry we cant sell your crop, its going to have to go right down again", people are left with laods of uncontrollable dept (banks love that) banks reposes assets and land, people desperatly try and sell to cover dept, no profit in the crops. Then people like taksin come in and offer to buy masses of land and a cheap price, vepelop on it and/or hold land for a decade, this is where the richer get rich and the pore have dug there own grave, you reap what you sow.

I say shoot first and ask questions later !

I see your forum name is very accurate and appropriate for you.

I for one am pro death penalty for drugs and merder, I just find that the wrong people end up on death row.

Many people are tricked in to or are seriously desperate befor traficking drugs, stupid, but when you face some odds sometimes there is just not many routes for survival. Such people should be shown leniency with grate efforts put forth to find the organisers of such offences.

I have read many accounts where cerial killers are shown leaniancy for showing where bodies are hidden, shouldn't be, it should just mean that the torture stops and the exercution comence, while on the other hand a babysitter had dropped a infant on the head, the child dies, babysitter panics and berries the baby, forensic shows no inconsistencies in her story but she is sentanced to die, because it was a child under 3 and she berried the body. These two stories should have the opposite of endings.

I say more exercutions quickly for the real nasty vicious crimes and more leniency for the desperate who help bring in ring leaders.

Cannabis is used as a medicine against cancer. The real cancer in Asia are the middle-aged laws. Perhaps the judges should try some smoke.

How many countries have legalized cannabis?

Cheerio ole chap back to blighty for they.I thought the UK was full of illegal immigrants,seems its just as bad here now a days.

Lol

Does anybody else find it bizarre that shim is shaking it like that in front of all those kids? It just goes to show that most of the ladyboys have serious mental problems.

Good on her, grass root entertainment at it finest. The local community seen supportive, vogue.

How long do you reckon before this is banned because of the damage to Thailand's genteel reputation?

Are you joking? Have you ever left you place of residence in this country or are you blind in some way? How many lady boys are super stars on TV and how often are they openly doing their thing on the streets? It is just widely accepted in this country, and personally I have no problems with that. I do not share in their activities but I accept them for what they are and the culture they come from. I have seen sexy pancakes videos from time to time on facebook as they appeared on my timeline after Thai's 'liked' them, and some of them were quite funny.

Have not heard about the u I girl banned from tv and having to make a publics apology for whetting a dress that the ministry deemed inappropriate?

Bloody ridiculous I know but as is said, this Is Thailand, nothing needs to make sense it just is!

Good on her, grass root entertainment at it finest. The local community seen supportive, vogue.

You made a mistake, it clearly states its a he not a she.

I don't actually see how he was scammed. She promised to marry him, and she did. OK - only a country wedding, but a wedding and ceremony nonetheless. He promised to give her gifts and money, and he did.

Surely now it's purely a marital disagreement over sex (or lack thereof)?

Both parties fulfilled their obligations - he's even got wedding photos to prove it. Assuming she used her correct name and didn't hide behind a false identity, all seems fine to me. Just another dense Falang that was too eager to put his hand in his wallet without doing due diligence.

She promised to marry him, with all that that entails - not just a wedding. The wedding was a requirement that she insisted on AFTER he had already wired her plane fare to France. He is honestly looking for love the best way he knows how. Let's sympathize with this man. After all, she got his hopes up and then stomped on his heart. If she wasn't sure or wasn't ready, she should not have said she was. She is 100% at fault and he is the victim. Granted, woman pull this crap on men all the time and men need to learn not to take what they say at face value. I wish him better luck next time. Hopefully, he learns his lesson not to be too trusting.

I had a nice relationship several years ago with a girl named Jeab in Udonthani. Met her family, did many activities together, but no sex. I wanted to get her alone, so I proposed a trip to Phuket for a week. She insisted we marry first. I figured why not, as long as it's just a party with the monks. Might cost $400 tops. She brought up the subject of a dowry. I asked how much? B300,000. No way! But I countered with this; I will pay your family B30,000 at the END of each successful year of marriage. I am the one who determines if it was successful. This would provide HER with a powerful incentive to be a good wife and make sure I am happy, no? She flatly refused. I immediately ended the relationship. Gotta test these biotches....

Any one who believes they are going to find a true love after 4 months of Internet discussions at the age of 60 to a beautiful young girl in a country where the average wage is below €400 has is head stuck in the clouds and really needs to wake up.

No sympathy, no law broken even in the west the police wouldn't even give you 5mins, he payed for a wedding he got a wedding, he hoped for love he was not awake.

Sorry for the bad language, but what a prick! I hope he falls on his face on the way to the airport.

400k a month salery and he is crying about 270k at least he had a good party, probably spent nearly that on a few hundred guests and what a bloody cheap skate, 20k for a ticket to France, most returns cost 35k from Thailand and that's on a economy, you would of thought with 400k a month salery he would of at least payed for a business class flight for his future wife.

People getting scammed out of there entire life savings and he has the nerve to come to a paper naming names and looking like a tw@t for three weeks wages, many spend two weeks salery on there holiday plane tickets alone.

Go away you silly man and don't come back!

Right that's phillippenes off my travel list.

Pish posh. 3 million baht is chump change for Bangkok's wealthy.

Never to be seen or heard of, Sweden will not sent him back to Thailand, because the land of smile still has capital punishments for murder.

You say that, but England sent one of thers back and it is against there policy to extradite capital offenders where there is capital punishment.

TAT's concern for the victims shows it's ugly side, again.

Shows there ugly side, said like they have ever shown a good side?

Setup? <deleted> are you all babbling about? Why would the russian ask a thai guy to slap him hard on the face, and then proceed to go to the cops to file an official complaint? Why would the thai guy accept to do that while being filmed? It doesn't make any sense.

What makes sense is that a particularly horrible person was caught on tape. Russia is the land of dashcams, that explains why a Russian would think about turning on his cam before opening the door, at least much better than any of your ridiculous setup theories.

I hope that thai scum will be punished accordingly.

If I had thought about it, I would have done the same thing as the Russian. Not everybody has the same past experiences, may be he is from a ruph nabour hood or a past soldier who is trained to deal with these past experiences, I can't think I would have reacted any differently, I and it looks like he also is not averse to crying to people who want to intimidate, either that they want to intimidate or the are going to kill you so Warner way why bother making any noise, if he killed him, he know that there is evidence so he can die with the expectation on justice provailing and the sie of relief at the end is all need be said, kind of like "I'm gunna have the last laugh for shore when I'm at home and your in jail" very cell played to the Russian 0.1 to the Russian, bravo.

Not me, I will and do own my own land.

google BKK or Thai real estate.

you will find many agents with hundreds of listings of varied sizes and prices, they are far cheaper.

no comparison whatsoever.

A link sowing a house in Derby for £51,000 can any one show me a link for house built as well with a garden as big for as cheap?

so your coming on here and saying houses cost more in Thailand, ok.

I'm moving on now to talk to sensible people.

What I'm saying is, can you buy a house with the same build quility and the same amount of land in Thailand for the same price as you can in the uk.

I know you can buy a house for next to nothing in Thainad but what will it be like. I have lived just about everywhere around Bangkok, I have lived in houses that cost under ฿1m twice once in a real dump in Ramkonheang another time in mooban amonsap in Minburi, I have also lived in houses that cost ฿4m in Thailand and yest they had nice comunal facilities, but the roads where crap, the walls where hollow the foundation wasn't built propaly and there is no way any of it would be legal in the UK not to mention the size of the garden.

When coming to buy I had a budget of ฿12m and the quility wasn't bad and some of the housing estates had good roads, but they still didnt have much of a garden, not the size of my sisters house in sanderstead (suburbs or London) and another sister who lives in Horsham who payed £230,000 has a nice 3 bed semi with a very big garden and will last past her grate grandchildren.

I looked in Polyothin and to find a place the same size as my sistes in sanderstead would set me back ฿17m.

I was looking for a house I

Thais don't tend to do gardens. You said houses now we are talking gardens. If you have 12 million. Build it yourself then you get the quality you want ( possibly )

Different countries different style of build. Many from the UK would not be happy with American wooden house building but that's how they do it.

But yes I kinda agree to get same or similar UK quality would be more than the standard Thai houses. But I also think that since they started building with Q con or Superblock the buildings are getting better.

A lot of the cost is in the land, as in the UK you can are only permitted to build on so much of your plot, compared to the Thailand, where you can build a house covering the whole spec of the plot.

I wanted the space of the garden, to me that's the main benefit of owning a house compared to a apartment, that and you own the the free hold, but it looks like I will just get a apartment for now.

Well your wife would own the freehold ie the land

When looking at houses in Thailand it is very difficult to match exactly the same as most Thais don't have or like gardens. So I tend to look at general build and floor space. But I agree the lack of road space etc is annoying.
