I never said anything of the sort. I'm not "hating on" anyone.

Wasn't a Spanish guy convicted of a similar crime in Bangkok some years ago?

Nah, you just give an "agent" 20k Baht p a, no need 800k Baht.????

That's actually 4 weeks and 1 day of holiday, if you take into account that a working week is 5 days. I worked in Germany for a short while. One thing I noticed was that there was NO WAY that you were gonna get (most) Germans working on a Sunday.

Many years ago I had a Thai girlfriend who was a hotel receptionist. Besides public holidays she was only given 6 days per annum as holiday days to take whenever she wanted. (In my current job in the UK I get public holidays + 21 days when I want them).

My old Swedish friend and I used to try guessing where farang were from, just by looking (and listening) Socks & sandals "probably British" ???? I found the hardest to be eastern Europeans due to their unintelligible languages! ????????

None whatsoever... Been there, seen it, done it, bought loads of T-shirts.

No sour grapes at all when the libido has been disappearing anyway. For the last 5 years that I lived in Thailand I never bothered with that stuff.

First visited Thailand 85 and 86. Lived there 1998-2018. Only my thoughts on the bar girl thing is that it's 'too easy' a thing to do, there's no 'value' in doing it. In later years I never bothered.

Easy to meet Thai women with ordinary jobs (ie not bar girls) on the many internet dating sites, as I'm sure you know.

Ex girlfriend worked as a hotel receptionist, now works at the Land Office.

Nope, you don't RC, Malaysia.

They won't execute him, but he had better get used to fish heads & rice (gruel) to eat. Could be losing a lot of weight!?

Malaysia

I don't think Thailand ever executed a Farang. Also I think they have a moratorium on the death penalty anyway.

RIP RIP The dogs were her substitute family?

There used to be an Uzbek hookerq (way past her prime) hanging out outside Coffee World, corner of Sukh Soi 7/1 BKK.

Thai libel laws. I notice that when someone falls from a high building (and dies) in Thailand the building is never identified. I believe that this is done so as not to fall foul of libel laws?

"The Sun" used to shift 3+ million copies a day, but that didn't make it 'good'?

"Elvis became a parody of himself".

I remember many years ago in King Bhumibol's time the King's birthday was a no drink day. Then one day he hinted that he wanted everyone to have a good time on his birthday. It ceased to be a no drink day.

This is why Air B & B was/is illegal in Thailand. For a room to be let out for less than 30 days it must be in a building that's registered as a hotel.

Canada just extradited one of their's to Thailand. (Thailand gave assurances that there would be no death penalty).

Translation please!????

He could do exactly the same thing in poorer parts of Thailand and be just as popular? Remember that Thailand's still a relatively poor country. Part of why he was so unpopular with some in Thailand was because he was seen to be a champion of the poor?
