Wow..where are all the keyboard Rambos?

Surely they would have used their training to disarm the perp, break his neck and disappear stealthily into the night.

If they had been there, as they often qualify their posts.

Guess they must all be knackered and worn out after venting their spleen over the drunk man kicking his wife.

3 Australian guys right there couldn't prevent it? Maybe they ran away. For all we know, the Australian date was next on the chopping list and another murder was prevented.

The Aussie was not her "date", you fool, he was the <deleted> client.

There's no need to be rude... In Pattaya "date" implies client without any further explanation required.

It also give you an out, just in case you're wrong. Believe it or not some of us walk in Walking Street with our wives. People like you jump to conclusions.,

YES ,very true , my wife and i sometimes go and sit in a bar and watch the world go by , its a cheap form of entertainment watching the wierd and the wonderfull walk by

I drink 100% coconut water every day, just wish it was cheaper

Not related,but going back to the UK, my condolences are with you

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is "still failing UK taxpayers", a group of MPs has said.

It accused HMRC of only answering half the phone calls to its customer care centre, and failing to carry out enough prosecutions.

Members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said customer service was so bad that it could be affecting tax collection.

HMRC denied that, and said it had now recruited 3,000 more staff to help.

I will be honest and say that every time I have called them they have answered.

They have also been knowledgeable and helpful even going back 10 years into my tax records.

Bear in mind that most of the people that you talk to initially are call centre staff with income tax training.

I wish i could even get through to a call centre , half an hour waiting for call to be answered about 5 times ,i have given up ,let em take me to court i will fly back and ask for expenses when i show them they got the money a few days after i got the letter .

Thanks my daughter has just written to them for me , if that is of no use i will let them take me to court , i will just fly over ,and produce the proof when i am called .

I dont do anything here in Thailand where it is not face to face and i get a reciept . And that includes the banks.

I do wish they wouldnt shout so much , just came back from Chiang Mai ,you couldnt hear yourself think in the airport .for the noise they make .

So the net profit from this "boom" should be around 52 million baht from those 5.2 million quality tourists!

B---ARD

you beat me to it

Just started watching the new Jekyll and Hyde 2nd episode ,no not for me sorry rubbish

Nonsense to judge all on the actions of a few.

Those who do may swing their swords of righteousness and scream in outrage but at the heart of it all is hatred and bigotry.

A few? Where have you been the last few years,locked up in solitary confinement?

"There are none so blind as those who do not want to see"

That high

Is that so ,well each to his own ,It just seems Islam wants to control us all ,as it says originally we were all Followers of Islam ,and we should all go back to the faith if not ,well you know what their answer to that is,they do it daily to us ,they even keep on doing it to each other,religion of peace yea right,go tell it to the fairies

Go on get back to the Guardian,along with the rest of the luvvies,us realists can get on with real life

A: There's no "if" you are a bigot.

B: It's not "your" country.

And you are a blind ,left wing ,bleeding heart fool ,who cannot or will not see the evil that is in front of their face,either that or you are one of them,with people like you around we must be very wary of you

Yawn......

And there you have it in one ,the answer one of the left wing apologists,and most of the Muslim population will give ,they just don't care.

PCEC has a MUCH better breakfast.... Both clubs offer help to newbies and are worthwhile until you get setted into the Pattaya routine. After a couple of years it gets kind of routine and borint.

I found after a couple of months they became borint

Please you have been warned before ,do not use the words LOGIC and THAI in the same sentence

When i went in they said you can only use firefox ,nothing else works . Amazing Thailand

ps they were right .

Thai people can drive ? i thought they just got in or on pointed it and put the pedal to the metal untill they arrive , ,i mean they can talk on the phone ,text ,and watch a movie the rest of the time . most seem to

The other day i had to use a loo ,when i got in there water was pouring out of the pipes into the drain and obviously had been for ages , dont be silly there is no water shortage ,this proves it .

After living among dealing with and doing business with Muslims for many many years,I can only say ,their religion is one of hate,never love and I would trust a rattlesnake more than one of them,sorry if that offends anyone ,but I have spent to much of my life dealing with them,if you are not one of them ,then to most of them you are nothing

A relatively small number of Thai Muslims in the Deep South commit despicable acts, this does not translate to the roughly 80% of Thai Muslims living outside of the deep South.

Many transpose their experiences of living in M.E. countries to Thai Muslims. I believe you live in Pattaya as I did for four years in a predominately Muslim area and never had the experiences you talk to. In fact many on this forum post that Thai Muslims they interact with are honest, hard working & are not 'radicalised' which is exactly the same as me and those that I arranged for Thai Muslims workers to assist them.

It's about time that members cease with denigrating all Thai Muslims as their comments are not truthful.

Actually I was not talking about Thai Muslims

Maybe they say the same of you.

They do ,and i was told this ," you are as nothing to us less than something on my shoe ,that is what we think of non believers " and if you think anything else mate ,you are either one of them or a left wing luvvie that reads the Guardian and will be the downfall of the west . It is an evil religion , most of the worlds troubles are where it is practised

What nonsense you do post.

takes one to know one then

They lie,I paid my tax they say I have not,there is no one answering the phone ,nowhere to write, what to do,?

Thailand ,the hub of optamisam

To be honest if you live in Nakon Nowhere growing rice ,there is very little use in learning a language ,but if you want to get on in life ,especially now Asean is starting , much as the French may hate it , English is the language of the world , with Chinese going to be needed soon maybe as well.
