"However when I returned to Thailand, of course, the reverse case was also true." You mean you told them?? ????

But he is a soldier with a soldiers mentality, not a politician.

I thought it was some sort of fish.

Gary Glitter?

Which one?

No! My hair is nothing like that, it completely covers my ears, a little longer at the back, but not short at the front, and comes down to my eyebrows.

What is a mullet, can you describe it?

As I said, are you a sheep. do you keep doing things because other people do them. ie do you clink glasses when people are drinking at your table just because the rest are doing it? I don't. I just hate it and it makes me cringe. Do you grow a beard because others do it? Even good looking guys have beards these days, there was a time when facial hair was grown mostly because the guys had unattractive faces. Do you wear certain clothes because others wear them? What about hair styles? I have the same hair style now as I had in my thirties and it has never changed. What about you?

Why do I have to keep on setting the English language most times when I log into the Edge browser. Nearly every time I log on it is in the Thai language and I have to keep on resetting it back to English? It is getting to be a nuisance now.

I had a Turkish friend who I met some years ago at the teacher training academy, and be certainly did not have a big nose. I have read about Thais referring to Westerners as the long noses, I certainly do not have a long nose.

Apart from a drunken wife, I have not been badly treated by women, quite the opposite, but with men it has been a very different story. throughout my life, there have been a few men I thought were friends and been let down.

The worst time of my life was when I was in the UK earlier this year. I was terrified what would happen if I could not get back to Thailand. Even though I ate well and slept well I was shocked to find I was down to 73 Ks in weight from my usual 76. I have only reached 76 Ks again a few days ago. If I was forced to stay in the UK through the winter, I would have lost my life savings because of the electricity bills. As soon as the ridicules Thai pass and the insurance scam stopped, I booked a flight and came back to Thailand.

Guest?????????????

No one should need to do it at all.

I didn't say he did, but it was obvious that the motorbike was traveling far to fast.

Guests?? In Thailand?? Since when did farangs who are treated like criminals become guests?? (90 day reporting)

He could, I say could, maybe have been turning without using an indicator, as the majority of Thai drivers and motorbike riders are very guilty of.

There is plenty of storage space under the seat of my bike, and it is certainly not a "scooter".

"Maybe what happened is you failed to indicate you were turning ,and this is why the motorbike crashed into you." That is probably what did happen, but I would also say that the motorbike was going far too fast especially as the garbage truck would be traveling very slow as it was making a turn.

Bangkok gets tough with motorcyclists riding or parking on pavements How often have we heard this? Probably just another 24 hour crackdown.

Are there any Thai politicians who don't dye their hair black apart from maybe the young ones?

So politicians who don't dye their hair can be trustworthy.

With these soldiers in charge anything is possible.

What is the Social Welfare health scheme? I have been here in Thailand for 15 years, and never heard of it, or is it also known by another name?

If, as it is said which I do not believe, it is used to cover tourist hospital bills in some way, then there should be no complaints.
