Thanks, these links are very interesting, I hope some other posters read them.

John Smith??

What about the Muslims? Most of them have the same name, starts with "M" and with the facial hair. There was a photo from a UK paper not that long ago showing 6 Muslims charged with offences against women, all lookalikes. What about the Sikhs? All with these towel things on their heads and plenty of facial hair, much more lookalikes than the 2 UK guys. I am not trying to be racist here, just pointing things out.

"LOS" also stands for Land of Stupidity, there are very much more Thai people with a lack of intelligence than scammers. You are probably referring to tourist areas, where I live upcountry I don't come across scammers but see plenty of underage motorbike riders, and the driving and riding is absolutely dreadful, but go to a tourist area anywhere in the world and you will find plenty of scammers.

There is nothing wrong with street vendors unless they are forcing people off the pavements and on to the roads like on lower Sukhumvit odd Soi's a few years ago. Let the food vendors go where there is wide pavements and there should not be a problem.

What a load of nonsense, most Thai's may lack in intelligence, their road behaviour proves that, but to say most Thai's are scammers???? That is way way off.

As long as the young girls that you refer to are not underage then I do not see the problem. I have never paid a barfine in my life, but I say it is up to any person themselves to do with their bodies as they like as long as no one is forced to do anything against their will.

I understand that and each to his own, I have always lived by screw or cheat me and there will be consequences. If you are done wrong then report it to the authorities, if they don't sort it then you do it yourself. I have lived that way all my life and do not have any criminal record.

Although I agree mostly with your posts, not this time, if anyone gives me bad service or tries to screw me over in any way, the first thing I do is look for some form of revenge.

What's OTOH??

Crooks!

Not long after I first came to Thailand I was walking down Beach Road when I passed an Indian tailors shop, the guy at the door said something to me, I ignored him and tried to walk on, he then grabbed my arm in a very aggressive way, I grabbed him and put him up against the wall and just stopped myself from landing him one. It was him who was the lucky man.

The Scottish FM????

Walk near a bunch of Muslims and shout "Muhammed" then watch all the heads turning.

About 20 years ago I would have agreed with you, but with the amount of Muslims and Eastern Europeans in Britain now it's hard to tell.

and what does he look like with all that facial hair? Someone mentioned he is Muslim?? Not with a name like Ryan. What middle east terrorists could he have been referring to?

His hairy face will frighten the ladyboys off. He would even make a fat bellied, big titted guy look like Elvis. 😄

"Waiting for the follow up on this story 3 years from now." He won't be here 3 years from now.

He would need a degree to be a teacher. he is only used to a job with near UK minimum wages. Again you cannot put a guy with such an ugly face in front of school children, all that facial hair?? He would give the children nightmares.

Anyone in the military who has guns, tanks and other soldiers behind him.

Which city is that. i was back in Glasgow for a few weeks a few years ago, was walking up Victoria Road when 4 of them were walking towards me, they started shouting and 2 of them walked fast towards me shouting at me. I ran very fast away from them.

What is worse, pulling down a flag, or making big cities in the UK unsafe to walk the streets at night, I have experienced this personally having to run for safety because of getting chased by Eastern Europeans?

Poor immigration issues??

No one can tell what your future life is going to be like in any country.

I made three journeys back home after meeting my wife before I decided to stay here, all the farangs I met were happy and recommended staying here, no compulsary 90 day reports, no having to see agents for immigration purposes. Now look at it, I am alone with no farang friends nearby, they have either died or moved away. Yes I am bitter at how so many immigration situations have changed mostly for the worst. But all is not lost as my wife is still the same loving person I met here 18 years ago.
