In the recent Amphur election in our village my wife voted for the candidate who paid 700 baht into her account by bank transfer! I asked her how does she know that you will vote for her and she said “she doesn’t, she just trusts people she has paid to vote for her “ Given that the opposing candidate was probably doing the same thing I shudder to think how much money is being lost by the loser! That then leads to the question of what will the winner be gaining by being voted in?🤷‍♂️

Not enough brown envelopes have changed hands it would appear!

Many thanks for your reply. I will check that out 👍

I am a complete technophobe when it comes to phones so please bear this in mind when replying. my phone is an iPhone SE second generation according to its settings so does it mean that I will have to upgrade my phone next February in order to continue using my SCB App which I find extremely helpful as I prefer to do scan payments rather than carry too much cash? Alternatively do I need to download something to this phone in order for it to access the App?

Blimey the Aseannow cynics are out in force on this one! I haven’t ever read so many disparaging comments on a topic until now. I don’t blame anyone for trying to better their lives in a country that they love, isn’t that what those of us that live here are doing? When I see what 2 tier Starmer is doing to wreck the UK I would encourage anyone to get the hell out!

The clock is ticking for this obnoxious nonce and I cannot wait until the day he gets locked up for his paedo activities. I have personal experience as to his arrogant self important privileged attitude relating to the late Queens jubilee in 2012 and would queue up to slam the cell door on his smug face.

Clearly not highly enough in this case. Huge compensation claim soon to be on its way to GM police!

Nong Khai is a backwater place compared to KK. KK has a huge range of restaurants for all tastes, incredible nightlife if that’s what you want but retains its traditional Thai heritage. I went on a 2 night trip to Nong Khai from KK a few months ago but came home after 1 as there was sod all to see there once you have had a gander at the Mekong!

Is your friend a new visitor to Thailand if not surely he must be aware of the many scams that go on to relieve gullible farangs of their money? The girl can leave the bar at any time but as correctly stated above she would struggle to get employment in any bar in close proximity to the bar concerned in future. Unless your friend is living here permanently it is almost certain that the girl will be straight back to bar work as soon as he is heading back home only to return to Buriram a short while before his next visit. I know this from experience many years ago when despite being a regular visitor to Thailand I made the mistake of falling for a stunning bar girl of about the same age as your friends girlfriend and I asked her to give up bar work and go back to her village. I Was sending her money every month and making weekly phone calls and every time I visited her she met me with her family at Udon Thani airport. I found out after a year or so that she was going back to her bar as soon as I headed home and had 2 other farangs sponsoring her! You friend should realise that the age difference between him and this girl means that there is absolutely no future in this relationship and he should bale out asap. Feel free to show him this post or message me although I’m sure his response will be “this girl is different from the others”

You did well. I failed the 50 question test 5 times because as a driver for over 50 years in England, 15 of which as a professional driver, I made the mistake of giving sensible answers based on Road knowledge and common sense. Some of the questions were nonsensical and had no relevance to actual driving

Best invention since the wheel. Eliminates the dreaded skid mark syndrome and definitely more hygienic than dragging paper across your bum hole. Before I moved to Thailand I took a couple back to England and installed them in my toilets at home as although you can buy them there they are considerably more expensive. Bit of a shock to the system when you use them on a freezing cold winter morning but certainly a good wake up call!😂

Doesn’t show much intelligence for playing for the scum gooners for a start. Then arrives at Stanstead airport with 4 suitcases full of puff. Give him 20 years for the gooner offence and £100 fine for the drug smuggling 😂

Do you consider yourself some kind of Messiah sent to save the virtue of Thai girls who are clearly happy to have sponsors sending them money from different countries? The practice has been going on for many years here and I’m sure your concern, however noble is unnecessary

He Looks a bit like Mr Creosote from Monty Python 😂

Well I imagine that there will be many butch inmates of whatever jail she ends up in who may disagree with you!
