Confuscious

When I choose to move to Europe (Spain), I moved not only because of the food. In my case, Kidney failure and other ailments, it was overall cheaper to live in Europe than to stay in Thailand. Also, the life in Thailand became a burden for me (I live alone, not a spoiled to death Birdy of 20 years). Here I can benefit from the support for 65+ with a home nurse and later home food delivered at my door. Hope that your dream in Thailand will last long time, but at the current situation and many foreigners leaving the sinking ship I doubt it.

Yes, I live in Alicante. Very clean and very nice places to walk around. Public transportation is ok. No problem with the flash floods from Valencia Did happen in Valencia more times in the past.

Pork and veal were at the same price, but I prefer chicken.

Inclusive a glass of wine. 55555555555555

Will i get a glass of wine with my meal for 40-60 Baht? Where in Thailand?

Exactly. It's not only the cost of food or the rent and expenses, but also the health care and other expenses. And that is cheaper for me in Spain than in Thailand.

In Thailand, I would need to spend my full pension and maybe more on hospital bills. So, yes, I can still afford to dine out in Spain.

Rent is 450 EUR for an apartment with lift near the beach (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, etc.). Electricity and water have not arrived yet, but the previous tenant paid 35 a 40 EUR monthly on electric and about 15 EUR on water. I paid on arrival 20 EUR for a SIM card with Internet and Calls (Orange) Yes, I can still afford to dine out and drink my glass of wine.

As said before, I moved back to Spain (Europe) a few weeks ago. Yesterday, my Birthday, I went to eat lunch at a beach restaurant in Torrevieja. After I placed my order, a snack was put on the table. The snack, consisting of a portion (Tapa) of Paella and bread was free. On the table was a basket with Olive oil; Olive vinegar; Salt; Pepper; Mayonaise and Ketchup. This was also free. The main dish, 1/2 Chicken (4 steaks); Fried egg; French Fries and Salad was served 10 minutes later. The portions was really big compared to Thailand. I had also a glass of wine. Total: 11.3 Eur (407 Thai Baht). About the same price I would have paid in Korat at a restaurant (without the snacks). Except that this was a beach restaurant. True, you can eat at a road side food stall or at a food court very cheap in Thailand. But exactly the same can be said if you go to eat at a trucker restaurant in Spain.

High quality tourists

The lift was "Monkey proof" but not "Thai proof".

Tell that to your pimp and see (feel) the results ...

Take away the sex trade and Pattaya will be a fishing village again. Most of the tourists and people wwho go to Pattaya are only for the sex trade, not for anything else.

He was detained and charged with reckless driving causing death and fleeing the scene of an accident. 30 Years for wreckless driving? Me thinks that a "Sorry" to the parents of the kids and a brown enveloppe to the police will be sufficient.

No mention about being STONE DRUNK? ROYAL THAI GOOD-FOR-NOTHING at it again ....

As far as I can see in the video, the accident was happening with "double parked" vehicles. These vehicles are parked without hand brake on and left in FREE gear to move them easily.

The tomato sauce, or any other ingredient used came probebly in glass jars and some glass fall in the process when opening the jar. Happens many times.

Gues he will have more hunger in jail, being fed the next few years onlt fish heads and rice.

I guess some foreigners are looking now to leave Thailand hastly .....

Main problem is that with spreading the pictures/movie clips on the internet they create a crime that can not be erased anymore by the victims. A single push of the "Enter/Send" button spread these images worldwide in no time, and copies are stored on a lot of computers/Phones. Can you imagine the life of these kids in the future, knowing that their privacy has been violated and spread all around the globe?

That's the whole point on these matters. The perpetrators knows very well that they are minors and protected by the law. Nothing can harm them. "Despite filing the complaint, the victims continued to face threats from the group. The attackers reportedly shared a picture of a gun to intimidate them and circulated explicit images online. The attackers allegedly claimed they were not afraid of imprisonment."

You have been living too long in Thailand. These "crimes" exist almost everywhere. Yesterday, I was following a program on the Spanish television about "sexual" crimes between minors, involving the Internet to publish the crime worldwide (Tik-Tok, Facebook, YouTube, etc.), and the inapt response of the police and the judiciary.

Pay attention: I have my residency at the Belgian embassy in Thailand. No residency in Belgium (Formular model 8). Thailand knows that I live in the Belgian embassy in Thailand. Thailand asked the Belgian authorities to disclose my financial information to the Thai authorities in regard to the CRS convention. My financial information is known by the Belgian authorities (tax office). The Belgian authorities (tax office) ordered my bank to disclose the relevant information to Thailand according to the CRS convention. If this is too difficult to get into your brain, ask the help of somebody with a higher IQ as yours.
