I saw this YouTube video of a Thai child being abused and forced to eat feaces http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7INJOpqYqNI&feature=youtu.be and I thought: "Human Rights? can we really expect them from a nation where this kind of thing happens?"

Is it wrong of me to laugh at...and...actually enjoy farang on farang violence in Thailand?
Actually... yes. Especially when someone has lost their life. Would you like people to laugh if it was your son or brother? But then you are probably the kind of lower class Farang that has a serious infirmity in regards to cognitive reasoning.

Just take away the income from the fishing industry and they will find another income, maybe PIRACY. Thefuture might be bright and we have another area of piracy and sea lanes patrol on our hands. Thank you USA, you are so smart.
So we should just stand idly by and do nothing? Your post reads like you have the IQ of an Amoeba on Crack. Seriously? what planet are you on?

Cleaning up Gecko poop seems like a very small price to pay to possibly avoid getting dengue fever! You are in Thailand not some leafy outer-suburb of London.

Try this: Lose weight and record your journey onto a YouTube channel. When you get to 80 Kilos contact me and I will personally help you create a course showing how you did it. I will build a website and create a business for you out of it. I will take 50% share. FYI People would pay me $20K just to write the sales copy.
If you do your part - I will do mine and You will create a lot of money in the process. -
There really are some spineless people in the world. "Don't get involved if you see a woman being beaten half to death - they might hurt you"
Besides.. you might have to 'waddle' off your bar stool and who knows if your knees can take the strain of all that fat you carry around inside your head?I hope you remember that if god-forbid a westerner see's YOUR wife or YOUR Daughter being beaten half to death by some drunk or angry Thai guy and they just 'don't get involved' it is because they were just like you.
OK thats all. Nothing more to see here you can crawl back under your rock now...- 2

I don't claim to be a "bad ass", but with my background and training, that video would have had a much different ending. I counted at least 4 places where I could have easily taken that piece of Thai crap
Right. You're at, like, the wizard level or something, in that video game, right? Wouldn't even need to put down that diet coke in your left hand, you'd just push the red button on the joystick with your other hand. Bang bang bang, swish wosh kabang, and he'd be like, dead and stuff, and you'd enter the next level.

You took the words right out of my mouth. It is so easy to be an armchair hero. I wonder if you have ever had a gun stuck in your face? I have many years ago. I broke the guys wrist arm and jaw but only out of a pure gut reaction. And then it took me 20 years to get over the nightmares. As for background and training I had 17 years of it. But when it came down to it it was pure luck and not bravery or ability on my part. It is so easy to 'count four places' when you are NOT the one thinking "Am I going to die here?"

That video clip looks like it was all set up. Who just happens to have a camera at the ready perfectly aimed at the door. Possible that he expected this and wanted the video evidence.
Obviously you didn't bother to read the intro. What is it with many people on this forum that they never take the time to read things first before shooting their mouth off [No pun intended]

I am an Australian citizen yet because I was born in the UK I have dual nationality. So it is quite possible to be a citizen of one country and yet have two passports,

After 14 years full-time working from home on the Internet I strongly suggest... Get a Mac! The latest has a 12 hour battery. You wont be plagued with viruses, key loggers, trogons, the dreaded blue screen of death etc and it won't break down all the time.
I got my first Mac in Pattaya about 3 years ago - it is till a workhorse - never had any pc laptop last that long! I would never, never, never go back to a pc - especially as you can now get something like parallel and run Windows if you really need to. Save yourself money, time and stress in the long run - get a Mac :-)- 2

Drop the prices Mr.Apple, thats why android is in the game, its cheap and sort of does the job...
Apple is a company that makes both the hardware and the operating systems. Android is an operating system running on a multitude of devices. Comparing a small family of Apple devices with cheaper Android-capable devices on price alone is ignorant at best.
A different and perhaps more realistic way of seeing market share: http://techpinions.com/androids-market-share-is-literally-a-joke/16709
Utterly brilliant article. Thanks for sharing!

Played with a brand new [GBP1700] Mac today - LOVED it! Lightening fast! Super-responsive. Having worked full-time online from home for 14 years now I wouldn't go back to a PC if you paid me to...

I think it will take the jet ski mafia finally killing someone before the police will be forced to act.

This should be shared on everyones Facebook page and when you do invite others to share. If you have a website share the link and give the page the title Pattaya Jet Ski Scam Warning.

Very few people realize how terrible this is up close.
I flew to China a few years back to help a young girl who had been attacked with acid
it was one of the most heart breaking experiences of my life. You can see how much I had been crying mid way into the video. -
One day its chickens and the next day it might be a child.
I love dogs, but I hate owners that cannot control them.
Fence your yard up, pay the neighbor for every chicken your dog kills, plus interest and start behaving responsible. You know what you need to do !
If I was your neighbor, I would already have fixed the chicken killing issue... They just may take that action soon, so be prepared for what happens and understand why it happened.
As you said and some posters have missed it... Your dogs are in their land now....
I am often gobsmacked at some of the posts in this forum but this one really take the cake - as the poster above clearly and wisely has pointed out it is YOUR responsibility.
In life people do one of three things:
1. They lay Blame
2. They Justify
3. They Take Responsibility
I strongly suggest that it is time you start to do the latter.
What on earth makes you think you have the right to let your dog roam free when it is doing this?

you could consider opening a company in Hong Kong [will cost about $2K] and then using your atm card when you need to withdraw. Zero tax is paid on anything that the company earns outside of Hong Kong and your money is very safe there.

I despise Tuk Tuk drivers. Had one stop in the middle of very dangerous traffic in Bangkok and throw my friend and I out because we refused to go to his government sale. My friend was almost killed when hit by a taxi.

What a totally AWESOME video and such a beautiful change from so much of the negativity. Thanks for sharing. I am counting the days till I am back!

I suggest you start now and learn how to sell information products online You can even outsource lots of the work to the Philippines.
I honestly believe a 'drovers dog' could learn how to make money online IF they are focused and disciplined [Two important character traits that most Singaporeans I have met seem to have by the bucketload]
That said - get her to Singapore. Money cannot buy you love but poverty can test the strongest of bonds. She will love Singapore. Good luck to you both.

If the landlady hasn't been paying her tax on the rental income (common in Thailand), reporting the unpaid rent to a government agency may not be worth her while. The tax man can ask for back taxes over many years.
She many not have the option of reporting your debt.
-
That's a good point, and one more in favour of my approaching her early on playing it straight out to negotiate her letting me exit more or less gracefully.
But others are telling me via PM that's a stupid idea and I should do my best to just disappear when all my ducks are lined up, even if I have to pay another month's rent before leaving.
Thanks very much for your thoughtful and constructive input.
Note (again and again for those who insist on thinking the worst) none of this has anything to do with running out on the debt itself, just the practical strategies required to enable me to be able to pay it off - and obviously get back to being self-sufficient supporting my family properly - as soon as possible.
Any sympathy I had for you is now gone.
The fact that you even acknowledged the taxation issue as a negotiating tool shows me that you really have no respect for a Thai landlady that has extended credit for you and your family. You owe her. Pay her.
The solution is not complex. Get home. Get 3 jobs. Live in your Mum's spare room and eat noodles until you have paid everyone back, including your ex-Thai wife who is literally mortgaging the rice farm for you to fly home.
You made bad decisions and seem to want to continue that trend. Your questions project your intent.
Say what you want, but I think you will get home and stiff everyone. That's just the vibe I get from you.
I truly feel sad for your kids and your ex-wife. They deserve better...put it right.
I couldn't have said this better myself. I agree 100%

Personally I think you should be utterly ashamed to owe 14 months rent. I had tenants like you back in Australia and it was always 'someone elses' problem. Never theirs. People do one of 3 things in life:
1. The lay blame
2. They justify
3. They take responsibility.14 months is an utter disgrace.

As a father of 5 I am utterly astounded that you have a child that has a dry nappy 3 days in and you have not booked him into a decent hospital. Dehydration can be fatal. A forum is NOT the place to seek medical advice. Please take your child to hospital. As for the utterly idiotic advice that "A mother will always know when something is wrong' - Sure that is why people go through 6 years of medical school right?
Get your child to hospital!

I am amazed so many people are falling for this. And even if it WAS true... what kind of Walter Mitty would post a question like that! I'll bet he is laughing his head off
