  1. I am in New York City , Brooklyn to be exact and the price is about the same here except my gym cost me about 450 $ for an annual membership (Golds) I am only a part time resident of Thailand but may soon be full time . There are great things about both places and I love NYC , but with that said I go out and do a lot more stuff in Thailand , one because the cost is so much cheaper and two I believe , because going out in Thailand just seems to be so much more stress free and easy . Real estate is the big number a decent condo in a decent area of Brooklyn is about 700,000 for a 1 br to sky is the limit ! Forget about Manhattan you can spend 2 million and only have 2 br and no view . The ROI is actually better in Bangkok because property much cheaper and maintenance so cheap also , some people here pay almost 2000 per month for maintenance fees and not even have a pool or car park ( rare in NYC) I can only live here because I bought my place sometime ago . The great thing is when I really decide to pack it in and retire or at least semi retire , I will be able to buy a great place in BKK or Hua Hin and have plenty of money left over for the bank , or maybe a boat ;)

  2. Post removed.

    I guess a reminder is needed.

    Gentlemen. This is the ladies forum and as such we have stricter rules regarding what is allowed here.

  3. Same thing happened to me up at Bang Tao , I helped a lifeguard bring in a big Ukrainian guy who was told twice not to swim . He said spaciba and Here is the best part 5 minutes after we got him in the guy goes a little farther down the beach and , right back in ! He floundered around a little until the lifeguard made him get out and he was angry he couldnt swim . I bet we saved his life that day twice !

  4. The reason the cop was suspended was because now it shows that the police department lied. They said Tsarnaev had been shot in the neck and the photos

    clearly shows he had not been! He was shot AFTER they captured him! So much for the law and order here in the US! AND....they have videos of his brother that evening being put in a police car naked....they never admitted that. THAT is the reason why they suspended the cop...now they have egg all over their face. The sad thing is that our media will NOT cover this story. annoyed.gif

    Its statements like this they should have just shot and killed this prick so all this bullshit does not keep coming out after!!!!!!

    Sent from my GT-I9100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    Right on Brother they should both be in the morgue ! Now all the cooks and arm chair quarterbacks put their 2 cents in !

  5. If you (knowingly) mess with a married woman you deserve to get hurt in my opinion.

    I believe that's also the opinion of the police, so why would they take action against a Thai man if was really the victim in the broader story.

    People step out of line and get slapped every day, it's only that fact that this is on video that makes it different.

    Did you read the story . The Russian kid didnt know she was married she told him she lived with her brother . The guy is a coward like most Thais and anywhere else and with a different person he would have had that gun taken away from him and gotten beat to a pulp ! if you want to handle situations like this then you have to also accept that the guy you point your gun at might come back and kill you , chop you up and get rid of your little body in the ocean . You never know who your dealing with or what type of family they are from . In my circle , no police would have been called and the little Thai guy would not be seen again , and he would deserve it ! Better to live peaceful , live and let live and if you have an unfaithful wife , it kick her ass out and find a new girl too many fish in the sea , Peace ! wai.gif

  6. Hang on a minute - The US subsidies its farmers - Never see that happening in Thailand

    Thailand sell shrimp to America no problem How about rice

    But America sell pork to Thailand NO NO No

    Wake up Harry! Not only is US pork production heavily subsidised, but they use dangerous chemicals which are banned in Europe & England...............Eat it if you like Harry, but i don't want to be poisoned.

    You have no idea <deleted> your talking about another AH on TF !

  7. Actually 27 countries, including Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Canada, the United States, have determined that meat from animals fed ractopamine is safe for human consumption.[6] In the USA, ractopamine is allowed to be used at a feed concentration of 5–20 mg/kg feed for finishing pigs and in dosages of 5–10 mg/kg feed for finishing pigs heavier than 109 kg. In Canada, ractopamine is allowed in meal or pellet feed for finishing barrows, gilts, finishing beef cattle and finishing heavy turkeys (toms and hens) only. The maximum residues limit of ractopamine is 50 ppb and 10 ppb in the USA and Japan, respectively.


    In August 2012 Taiwan's legislature passed amendments to the food safety act allowing ractopamine in beef.[7]


    Recently, Russia has restricted beef and pork imports to those that are certified free of the additive ractopamine

  8. I have often wondered why there have not been more attacks in Bangkok. It would seem that if you want to move the agenda ahead, that being seperatism, you would start attacking the head, Bangkok. The government seems to be fine with the problems in the south, as long as they stay in the south. Will we see more attacks in the capital in the future?

    I believe so , I believe BKK and all the hot tourist spots will in future be targets . I really and sincerely hope that I am wrong on this one , fingers crossed !

  9. They must be very proud for the big bust they made ! Poor guy looks really banged out I see so many guys from all over looking like this , cant understand why people without the means want to live here . Well for that matter I dont understand staying here for more than a long vacation , the Farang here in this country are and always will be second class citizens and the amount of corruption and nonsense that goes on I think will only get worse . I walk around Bangkok and its dirty , smells . Yes I loved it more when i first came here but the shiny veneer wears off quick and I dont like what I see underneath ! I come now only every two years or so and that is getting to be too soon ! Hope this guy straightens himself out .

    "always will be second class citizens"

    Most farang are not citizens of Thailand at all. This person was an illegal alien. They tend not to rank high in the pecking order in any country.

    "I come now only every two years or so and that is getting to be too soon ! "

    That makes no sense. If you find the place so disagreeable, why would you keep coming here at all? You're either a masochist or into some sort of self-flagellation, literally or figuratively.

    Second class citizens , I am referring to the people living here legally I dont associate with people like this guy . As for coming here every once in awhile I work hard in my home country and Thailand is a great place to visit , stay in a 4 star hotel and enjoy good food in the restaurants , beaches . But I learned this is not a great place to live in , too corrupt , too primitive (unless your staying in an expensive hotel or condo , too dirty , and way too many farangs living here for the wrong reasons !
