  1. I went in on Friday, the desk clerks were so rude in dealing with me, just handed me this ridiculously small piece of paper with an email on it and ignored me, however I did let them know what I thought of it! Anyway then asked via email for the 3 dates, of which an email came back which I could hardly understand requesting the dates again, so I did, then I get another email in even worse English saying I would have to wait 3 weeks! So I have sent an email to the UK office, the service is terrible at best, and if I don't hear anything soon I will contact my MP. I'm sorry but it's a shockingly bad service we're being offered here. I'm so embarrassed to be British at times!

  2. I do something like this and doing more all the time, it all depends on if you want to make a living from it. I'm planning and doing some of it a I speak, I keep a flock of ducks, and breeding more and looking to start a small self sufficiency type thing in the next few months. So far it's been a lot of fun. I do everything step by step without rushing in which saves a lot of hassle later. My present thing is mixing the ducks with a fish and vegetable small holding. Picture enclosed, just start small and there's alot of info and good people who can help you out.

  3. I'm a Highway Police volunteer, Lopburi region, only did it to actually stop being hassled by the real cops when driving my big bike, however as a qualified EMT I have done 3 road traffic accidents and really only use it just incase I see a foreigner in trouble on the road. But the guy you mentioned sounds a right tool, probably another wannabee.

  4. Why would shortage of spare hurt Thailand, maybe it's all their overseas commitment .................oh there isn't any, I suggest the US need Thailand buying there stuff more than Thailand actually physically needs it. If not buy it somewhere else, it's not the best stuff around just the most available.

  5. If you need to stop them flying depending on which breed you have, just trim their main flight feathers, doesn't hurt them but it does keep them grounded, remember if you have Muscoveys, they will fly cause they are used to perching in trees, also Khaki Cambells if left to wander and develop their wing muscles will also be able to fly, but not as far lol. I have had both types and also Cayuga ducks, which are a lovely coloured duck and excellent to have around the garden.

  6. When it comes to littering they are maybe one of the worst I've seen, I actually got hit in the face by a bag of rubbish thrown from a moving car when I was out with my big bike group. Nearly knocked me off, however he didn't expect me to ride up along him and smack his drivers window real hard, he nearly died of shock! Then did the normal look at the floor there's no-one there routine. I see it happen a lot out on the road, very sad really when it could be such a nice looking country. Anyone know why they just drop litter anywhere?

    Another good story is the people who tipped a load of rubbish outside my house on the edge of the grassy verge. Old shoes, clothes, lots of just rubbish. Anyway I sifted through it and found a store card with their name on it. My wife who is a senior Civil Servant then went to the Police boss and quickly found who and where they lived. So around we all went with the card and some of thier crap, again you should of seen their faces! Not in a milion years did they expect that, then they were told to be round my house tomorrow and clean it all up and also got fined. I asked why they did it, but they couldn't answer, just absolute laziness.

  7. Why is it that if anyone offers a different oppinion to "take them all in " they are looked at as bigoted?

    I'm afraid I have to agree. Malaysia is just a few kliks down the coast.

    "Thailand is the land of the free but Muslims want to impose religious restrictions as soon as they get a foot in the door.

    Southern Thailand is a mess.

    In the UK most supermarkets now sell Halal meat to the masses in supermarkets (without them knowing) when in reality Muslim and Jewish people should be buying this type of slaughtered ritualistic food in specialised shops."

    Is any of this untrue? Also why are the Rohingya not like by their own country? It just happened yes? People just woke up and disliked them. Hmm doesn't ring quite true to me. Unfortunately they come to our countries and try to impose their will on established cultures and then wonder why the locals get upset about it, that's why they are not liked. We have the same problem in Europe and recently the German premier came out and said multiculturalism doesn't work, maybe she's a bigot too or finally someone being honest about this whole problem. It doesn't mean I don't sympathize with them, I do but they need to consider where they are going before just heading off hoping to get lucky.

    um, I didn't say any of that racist ignorant claptrap. Seems you like the sound if it though.

    Why is it racist and ignorant claptrap? It's another opinion of which I'm entitled, also it happens to be true, or didn't she say that? Sometimes uncomfortable truths are there and we choose to ignore them, maybe a bit of honestly and direction on these matters would prevent a whole load of mess we currently have over this type of problem, but then that isn't pc is it. Just let them kill each other would better. We saw how well that approach did in Bosnia didn't we!

  9. My wife is a senior civil servant and still gets paid, she said pretty much nothing has changed, only in Bkk where they physically couldn't get too work because of the blockades but now they are back too. She has worked in the job for years and can't stomach either party, she's an accounting boss and say's they are a bad as each other but did say the yellow party were marginally the worst when it came to dodgy schemes.

  10. Unfortunately a lot of this is due to incompetence of the authorities not to arrest criminals, not to really stamp out corruption and not being able to deal with the smallest riot, the authorities are virtually incompetent and people don't know where the lines are because they are so vague and laws flouted so obviously everyday, really serious breaches of law. People killing Policemen, severe obvious corruption, Both sides should of been cracked down on hard ages ago, break the rules this is what happens, that is democracy, not screaming or kicking because you want your own way!

  11. "This is a matter for the people of Thailand, but I hope their political leaders will find a way forward," he said.

    Can't see anything wrong with what he said.

    A good and sensible statement from the British foreign secretary.

    May be he failed as PM....but he is doing a good job now.

    Agree he said nothing wrong. However, he was never PM. He was opposition leader when Tony Blair was practically unbeatable.

    He would make a good PM now, pity Thailand don't have many politicians of his caliber.

    Hahaha - Hague is a failed politician Governing with a party with a 27% mandate - learn about you own country PLEASE before instructing ours!

    How can he be a failed politician if he holds such a senior position? Also you don't see him being accused of massive corruption unlike nearly all of your so called politicians, plus you really don't understand democracy as you never really had too fight for it, lucky for you there has always been super powers to restore it for you! If not you'd be speaking Japanese now wouldn't you!!!
