  1. It’s beyond evil, to distort a beautiful religion into something to be used as a shield to mask and fulfill someone’s homicidal tendencies. I try very hard not to frown within, the second I hear the word Muslim, but it takes effort. I would feel much better, if all true Muslims started being more vocal and active in combating these thugs, homicidal maniacs and criminally inclined psychopaths. The faster this type of scum is eliminated from this world, so whatever hell awaits them, the better.

  2. You know, for years I planned on retiring in Thailand, I am presently living in China, but after continuing to read countless reports of violence towards foreigners, I have changed my mind. I would rather live some place that if I have to fight, it's at least one on one, and the general feeling I get from this forum, is that Thais hate foreigners.

    I am looking at retiring in Panama instead. Thailand sounds like a dangerous place to live.

    If you do not speak Spanish, you will have the same problems there, or even more than western foreigners in Thailand. Most of them here have problems because cannot communicate well with Thai people or not understand how they deal in business. It is a big Chinese population in Thailand. Ask any Chinese living here about life in Thailand...not a western farang...You will get totally different input...

    How is the food. And the chicks?

  3. I do understand your point, and what you think I am implying, I am a Viet Nam Veteran, so I do understand the nature of violence. This attack by the driver, was just one of many post I have read on this forum, about foreigners being beaten. Who's fault, who cares? Too often, these post show crowds of Thais kicking some foreigners ass. Violence and crime exist everywhere, but from what I have gathered from this forum, is that if I was living in Thailand, and had to defend myself from a drunk, or a thug, which I am very good at, I would most likely have a crowd to contend with very shortly. You are assuming a lot on your comments, so from another expat who has lived in several countries, and now lives in China, I can honestly tell you that I have not seen crowd beatings in other countries towards foreigners, of course I have not lived in Syria or Iran, or any of the other middle east countries where crowd mentality goes on as well. So, tell me honestly, if a foreigner was attacked by a drunk, for no reason, and it happened to be someone like me who could easily win this scenario, how long do you think it would take for other Thai's to jump in, or would they? Which is it?

    And Panama is safe?

    I have been all over Panama several times, and there is no place safe, but if a local jumps you, he's most likely to be arrested, or beat to shit by the other locals, that does not seem to be the case in the land of smiles?

  5. Hello, and thanks for the video, it was interesting. Being new and still in the States, I am in the planning stages. From what I have gathered by reading many forums, books and google search. The Farang who builds a house for a Thai lady, usually ends up getting kicked to the curb, and the house belongs to the Thai lady. I don't think I would ever buy a house I can lose 100% of. What are the chance of meeting a nice girl, if I own a condo, and ask her to live with me? If that does not work, then I guess I will remain single. I have a lot to learn, and look forward to reading your post.

    Thanks

  6. Hello

    Just another old guy, going through a divorce after 35 years. I have been reading about Thailand quite a bit, and the area right outside of Chaing Mai, really seems to be the best place for a guy like me. I am not looking for bar life, since I don;t drink, just some peace and a less stressful life than what i have had in the past. Looking forward to reading the post, and gaining knowledge.

    Thanks

    D
