I think over half of the men worldwide have experienced phychological or physical abuse !!!!!

Hope you have a work permit, if not I would'nt try that stunt again, immigration(Big Brother) just might be watching.

Is he now a Female nurse???

90 days from last entry into the kingdom or from last 90 day reporting, whichever is more recent (90 days)

Interesting title ''Wire Color Coding in Thailand''I thought this was where I would find info about what colour was live neutral and earth. Boy was I wrong.

I've been wondering if other gyms offering lifetime membership are not going to go the same way???

1. Give the dog a big bone and a steak

2. Lets hope the baby gets better soon.

3. Lock the mother up for life.

Before you make a sweeping stupid statement like (3) lets wait and find out the background to the case.Show a little bit of compassion or just keep your mouth shut.

What a cheap Charlie, He owns an oil company. !!!!!

The O-A is a long stay (retirement) visa issued to those over age 50 showing financials and medical and police check in country outside Thailand where they live. Each entry of the multi entry version gets a new one year stay from date of entry.

You make it sound like every time you leave you get a further 1 year which I dont think is true.

I think he should charge people to see this tattoo. Naturally Thais should be charged 4 times that of Farangs and see how they like it!

Where are all the crime''experts'' now who were speculating yesterday about the robbers bad english and upper anf lower case rubbish on a hand written demand note. Stand up and be counted.

Sure. No problem. Open a bar and teach English.

You forgot to include ''I'm only joking''

Are you kidding me? I am a full time Muay Thai coach and have been in the sport for over 20 years. Sadly, I have met more junkies in boxing/muay thai than in rock bands. It starts with injuries, getting hooked on pain killers, and eventually turning to harder stuff when the pills aren't available. Did you ever see the 'Smashing Machine'? It was a doco about MMA fighter Mark Kerr and his struggle with opiate addiction. That said, the circumstances do sound fishy. Junkies do die with the needle in their arm quite often. If they are used to getting 'stepped on' products back home and then find a batch that is super pure, it is bound to happen. The ugly truth of ALL pro sports is steroid use and pain killers. Nobody wants to admit it until stuff like this happens. BTW--quite a few of my Thai trainers are usually stoned while on the job holding pads too. Don't act like Thai gyms are a Buddhist temple. There is more dirt than you think.

Good to see a piece written by someone who knows what he is talking. Well written

Seriously? Big C/Tesco carries them, to name a couple. I just bought one (and a replacement pack of 5). They're readily available all over the place. Unless I'm misunderstanding you....

Berkshire, are you thinking of double edge blades like this? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.shaving-shack.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/razor-blade.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.shaving-shack.com/blog/tag/razor-blades/&h=321&w=480&sz=48&tbnid=374T-pTqPkVn6M:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&zoom=1&usg=__zoT643UMRZVwfJ1FRyA9zQeiEiU=&docid=HMlPmbw6lrd43M&sa=X&ei=6mykUYGkG8P3rQfgv4HYBQ&ved=0CHMQ9QEwBw&dur=2280 I was just at Big C yesterday looking specifically for them and was told "mai mer."

I have gotten those in big C in Pattaya in their own brand. I also get them in the markets but not a good quality.

Pity they have to include so many details, The family would probably prefer to have keep this quiet.

Well, you can't please everyone. With fewer details, all the usual guys would be out now claiming he was killed and how it's all a cover up.

Can't win, reporting news.

Personally I think that all the ropes and drug overdode is a bit dodgy.

And not one picture of him anywhere,in case we might recognise him as the guy sitting next to us in the restaurant or maybe the go go on Walking Street. Great police work and did this actually happen last week?

He probably sexually assaulted a previous fare to that hotel and is avoiding the place in case he's recognised.There was no mention of taking a leak or refueling. It's possible`!

I didn't expect to be advised about the maintenance and upkeep ... all I asked was what would it cost to Tax & 3rd party Insure and what options there ...

I am happy you seem so concerned to consider me stupid but I have always maintained and worked on my own vehicles for 50 years since I started driving ... we do that in the country in Oz ...

Let me bother about the choice of vehicle and what it needs for moth-balling it for 11 months ......

Or if anyone knows where I can hire a car for 6 weeks that would be comparable ..... I think not ...

Please just give me a ball-park figure as to what the cost of Tax & Insurance would be on say a 2.5ltr diesel ???

Gee Jimbob, lots of guys giving you free good advise and you know so much already I'm amazed you don't know the answer to your own question. Sorry for wasting your time with my previous post

When I come to Thailand I rent a pick up for 22,000 Thb a month. You can get a pretty good car for about 18,000. I personally would'nt have a car sitting outside the Thai G/f's family house for them to be using for the other 46 month of the year. Your bird will probably want to be posing in a newish vehicle anyway.

Good on him, why are the banks the only ones allowed to do it.

If already was'nt it probably is now.

I've always wondered why Unesco allow racial overcharging at their sites by Thais. I think that when Unesco take a site under their wing, it should be a proviso that all visitors are charged the same entrance fee and not have it based on the colour of their skin.

Thanks for the heads up.

50cm or 5cm?

F.Y.O. 50cms =19.5inchs

5cms =2inches

What does it look like to you?

They could gladly come to Hua Hin and clean out all the Soi dogs around my house. It's so bad some times I have to carry a stick walking down the road.

Oh no....I can hear the bleeding hearts already.

I agree fully , Pattaya is also crawling with packs of wild dogs
