^^^^Exactly the opposite.  It's easy to get a job in Bangkok, but it's hard to find work in attractive tourist spots.  If you don't have a BA/BS you would probably have to head out to the depths of deepest darkest Issan to find work!

 

      The depths of deepest Isaan might be more fun than some tourist spots.

Famous last words.....I personally know some Filipinos who can't have an intelligent conversation in English yet have a Thai Teacher's License and have it based upon I guess passing the "exam" you cite. It's okay with me, they are heroes in the Philippines as are the millions of others who send money back there. OO and God Bless You too Scott.

 

 You forgot one important sentence.

             " More Power to You." 

 Beercing is cool......

Is it possible that plenty of Thais watched YouTube movies about teaching and are now fake teachers?

she didn't run up any bill the hospital did when they thought it would be an insurance claim

 

lets ponder this for a moment

 

She had a 1 night stay in a room - how much ? well I'd guess maybe 2000baht

She had an untrasound - my guess would be 3000 baht

Doctor fee - 1000 x2 ....2000baht

nursing fee - we'll call it 2000baht

 

various medication food etc - 3000baht

 

= a grand total of 12k baht so lets round it up to 20k

 

100k baht seriously

 

It seems that they gave her the "Thainess discount."

 like i wrote a few days ago on the other post: how stupid you would be as a murderer to make sure they will find the body ! I would make more sence if they have undressed him, tied a weight around him and made him dissapear to the bottom of the sea, kms away from the coast instead of taking a risk being seen tie him to a pole so nearby

 

 No body no proof no crime

 

 No body, no life insurance cash from an insurance. Did the cops even look into that? I doubt it.

   And as somebody already mentioned cutting your throat in cold water isn't that successful.

        Why don't they ask his wife?

Do the police not know how easy it is for anyone with login data to spoof a message via Line or any other messaging app? Do the police not know how easy it is to create a phony account in somebody else's name? If a guy was diving, it is a safe assumption that his phone was not with him. Where is his phone now? Where was it found? 

 

Have the police verified the IP address, time, and ISP or cell tower triangulation where and when the message was transmitted. 

 

If the wife believed it to be a suicide note, why did she not immediately seek help? Did she claim to learn of the death from the police? Apparently, she did not think it was about suicide because if she had reported it and sought help the guy would not have been unidentified for so long.

 

What does the forensic report say regarding the time of death and cause of death? How does this square with the Line metadata and the time the bank funds transfer request was made and from which IP and MAC address or phone the funds transfer originated?

 

      He also added that she should tell his family in the U.S. that he is on a journey around the world and won’t be able to contact them for a while. Additional details included the whereabouts of the key to the safe that contains valuables and her wedding ring in their room.

In another article is a safe combination. The Thai wife should tell his family that he's on a journey around the world. Maybe that was his plan before somebody.....................

     Case closed.

Although i am not an expert on cutting flesh. I do recall reading that forensic science can tell if the slash to his throat was self inflicted or not.. The angle and depth of the cut would tell this quickly. For them to assume this is a suicide by a LINE message is ludicrous to say the least. Anyone could have sent that message using his phone. 

 

 

 And when he loved her so much that she stayed somewhere else why would he send money to her?

    The message is enouhgh evidence of a suicide. There ain't no killers in this laughing out loud country.

Only the cheap ones from Cambodia in Sisaket available for 15 K.

Why would somebody choose to die such a way? 

 Or rent a gun with 5 bullets for 750 baht. Or the tree in one alternative...

So he tied himself to a pole?

 

What about this for a suggestion;

 

Some one else tied him to the pole, then cut his throat.

They took his phone and cards and sent the message and transferred the money via ATM.

 

Wife was suitably far away when it happened. Perfect alibi.

 

Does this make more sense or am I just unnaturally suspicious when living here.

 

 Your pay raise is certain, Dr. Watson. The remaining question would be if he tight his body to the pole before he cut his throat or afterward?

   Nobody with common sense and living here for longer would buy such a fancy story.

  The perfect alibi maybe she sent a message to her own phone that was in his name, not more, or with his second phone she had, or he's lost his phone, right before she drove to the south?

In the message, he said it was “time to fulfill my life dream of moving on” and says goodbye, adding that he transferred money to her bank account for her to move on and “find someone who can make your dreams come true”.

She seems to be the reason for his death, so why would he even send her money? This all sounds so weird that not even my Siberian Husky buys the story. 

 The best joke in 2016.

My guess would be this is probably only happening in Haad Rin and perhaps Thongsala / Ban Tai bar strip... and not in the other parts of KP where I've never come across tourists being checked for anything... The whole island is not full of "pot heads" ...

 

  It all depends on how you present it. What about a couple of high people  with a very high social standard who smoke, but do not inhale Cannabis sativa,  and are surrounded by highly influent people who run a whole country.

The words  "pot -head" must be used by people with a very low IQ who are good friends with Johnny Walker and Jim Beam.

5555 nice pointless rant

\

 Pointless when the BIB run the show, really? 

      A big joke, as most people are attracted to Ko Panghan because of the availability of all sorts of drugs.

          Just another farang friendly move to finally make it happen that they also lose backpackers on this island?

   They made it happen that a lot of NES teachers left who spent all money in Thailand, without sending it to mom.

Most are now replaced by guys who do not even speak a good English, not even mentioning the written skills now. 

    They made it happen that many people don't come back because of their visa changes.

          And when they receive their wake-up call it might be too late to get these people back.

Enough is enough. The joke is that they never get rid of the real gangsters in uniform.     

   And it's not a secret that the whole drug business on all islands is run by them. Carnival in Thailand.

I agree with this.

 

In other words, I disagree that former winners should be prevented from competing.

 

If you continually weed out previous winners, the competition just gets meaningless.

 

The POTY only really works when forum heavyweights like Transam, JingThing, Blether, David and Nancy line up and put on the gloves.

 

I for one would love to see Transam give Blether a blinding left hook. I'm sure Blether would respond with a well-timed uppercut, but might JingThing step in with an exquisite suckerpunch? 

 

 

 

 I was also wondering why Jing wasn't even on the list.

From my years of moderating on TV I don't believe that actual votes can be 'moderated out' . The moderators have been up front how many illegal duplicate members were discounted.

 

 

    What about the "legal duplicate members?"

      And why are guys like Sherryl excluded, people who've helped plenty of people?

       Is it a popularity contest of people who've got the most posts, dots, likes, or is it actually based on what a member did for others?

       Just curious and no intentions of offending anybody here.

Better in any EU country; then in Thailand.  They allowed the Refugees to go there. It is their own fault.

Happy Terrorist New Year, to all Europe.

 

     You're playing with words now. Would they continue their weird shit in a country in Europe and then in Thailand,  "Hey Houston we've got a problem". Better use than.

But please have a closer look at this country, don't you think that thousands of bombmakers are living here? 

  Go to the deep south and laugh about someone's  goat beard, please. 

 These morons, aeeh migrants in Berlin can throw innocent women down a stairway, rape our nieces and relatives,  blow many people in the air, etc and they still receive money from the government to buy their weird shit.

   And the native women, be it in Germany, or the UK, have to let the Jihad men in front when waiting in line at a supermarket? 

"You woman, I am man, you wait" said such a guy to my sister in Germany. 

Where did the Berlin attacker go? He went to pick up his monthly Hartz 4 money, you idiots.

Italians did try to deport him, but Tunisia said they didn't want him back.  That's one of the big flaws with the bleeding heart European policy on immigrants:   If the home country of the person being deported doesn't want to accept him/her, then that person can't be forced to return.  

 

Instead, Europe should just dump the person on the seashore there or, somewhere in the desert - with a bottle of water and a 10 euro bill.

 

      Without a water bottle and money sounds much better. 

           A very Scary New Year 2017 for Europe. Great thanks to Mrs. Piggy from Merkelland.

          I thought that the "very important information" about our social media use, etc... wouldn't be mentioned, but you don't make the right food without the Chef.

          Last time, when I thought I'm out in a minute for my TM 47, a new IO came with the questionnaire.Ain't got no farcebook, nor any other social media. Then the question about foreigners I know. 

       One of them knew that I have an American friend and wanted to know the name. When I thought that this wouldn't be their business, one of the old staff jumped in and said: Oh, I know him too, his last name is Americano, right?  S. Americano he is. I don't know anybody else, only Somchais and Nois.

That's all the information I gave them.

        But if you think that they don't have more infos about you, you're wrong. They've got all in their system, for example when and how long you stayed at a hotel 12 years ago, if you were on an overstay and how long, even when you forgot the 90 days report a special reminder pops up that you paid 2 K for being so floppy.

             The main Immigration in Bangkok has a huge folder about all of us. For those who only make a couple of holidays here, but also the expats no matter how long they have been living here and in particular, where they live.

 Once they've got enough cash for Diesel oil, they'll continue their visits to foreigners in the smallest Moo Baans. That's an information from one of the good ones.

Unfortunately, there's no bad IO out and good Immigration officers in.

It seems that some people here are trying to make our stay in the Land of Smiles ( a good joke) a little bit more complicated and a visit to the Immigration in an ambulance must be really breathtaking with an oxygen mask on your face. 

    I'm afraid that all is getting worse in 2017,  and we're only a few days away.

We might soon need an Alien passport issued by the Thai government to be allowed to breathe the polluted air in Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

Big Brother's watching you. 

        Nothing is impossible. Happy New Year. 

          I don't have a good feeling when I think about the New Year 2017.

Having ended up on my little pink bum on the road and sat up, I had time to see my bike still in a tank slapper carrying on regardless, or wasn't that a movie?, I had just about enough time to calculate the costs before it fell over and scraped along another few metres.

All started by a big cowpat on the road.

 

 Sorry, to hear about your misfortune. I hope your babe is fine soon and you continue to ride her. At least you can switch her off if you don't wanna hear her anymore.

    That doesn't work with some out of order 2 legged bikes here.

arrrghhh....ptoooi!

 

 Can't agree more and considering the amount of friends I've lost thru big bike accidents, such a post also makes me very angry.

      Manne drove his Triumph on a straight road when it rained "cats and dogs" and a woman "didn't see him", crashed into him and he almost lost his life. But he "only" lost his left leg.

      We've met each other on rehabilitation when I had to go for surgeries to Europe and I felt so sorry for this guy whose life was completely destroyed by somebody who shouldn't drive a car. 

       Nice to see guys like you writing the truth about sickos on this forum. 

        Most similar accidents are caused by stupid car drivers who just don't get it. Sand or oil on the road, no light at a road construction side, a dog, people without light, or anything you can't forsee does the trick.

       To be honest, I sometimes ask myself if these people really mean what they write. Then there's something wrong with their genes. And they shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
