Evidence? Why am I always asking for evidence for these ridiculous claims and never getting it?

I just gave it to you.

Similarly, people say locals getting discount at national parks is racist, when it obviously not. 

It's not a discount. It's non-Thais, many holding work permits and paying tax, being hugely overcharged. Who then go on to boycott national parks in Thailand.

I'm English. If I visit the Tower of London, I pay the same as Thai visitors. Otherwise it'd be discrimination. And illegal.

Tell me how white people suffer disadvantage from racism. I'm not interested in hurt feelings from name calling, I'm interested in real consequences at a systemic level.

Pay more at National parks, can't buy land, overcharged at hospitals...

"Many white people, in particular, need to take a long hard look at themselves for speaking from a privileged position in denying racism exists."

Er...which white people deny racism exists? 

And only white people can be racist, it appears?

The OP's post is some of the biggest codswallop I've read recently.

Just pure, divisive, hand-wringing, race-baiting, white guilt-trip BS.

Seems to be some confusion over the correct pronoun use - "her" in the article title, "he" and "his" in the body.

 

I know we usually don't go after grammar, but words are their bread and butter. They should know better.

'He' and 'his; is correct usage in this case.

Soi 94 is busy. PM for more info.

Try the restaurant at Amara Resort Soi 94. Excellent Beef Masaman.

Unless it's a homing bird, it's gone.

The woman told police that after three rounds of drinks, the house owner, Mr Tung, attacked her and forced her into a bedroom where she was raped two times by him.

Her police statement said the two other men in the house then followed him into the bedroom, one at a time, and raped her after Mr Tung was finished.

 

Right, that you call this a grey area says a lot about you.

 

FORCED HER into a bedroom and later  two other men then did the same after the fist was done. Not sure what is rape in your mind. But in my mind this is 100% rape. 

 

 

Allegedly.

I live outside Huahin and haven't missed the tourists at all. That said, there are lots of empty buildings and it's hard on the locals.

Can't please everyone I guess.

Poor Thais are suffering but you're all right Jack.

Nice!

What else is a forum for if not instant information, why would you want to have trip to the bank in the words of the 1970s yellow pages ad, "let your fingers do the walking ".????????

"A trip to the bank." LOL!

Ever heard of email?

Why not just ask your bank?

Lockdown eased? What BS!

Still 9-4 curfew and no alcohol.

For the “people with underlying”problems, does the medical certificate need to be from a hospital it can it be issued by a doctor working in a clinic? Anyone know?

Med Park told me clinic certificates aren't accepted. Needs to be from a hospital.

Because the CCP has them all in concentration camps (oops sorry re-education camps)

After the havoc they've caused, I can see why.

Nice film reminded me of the place, but it certainly looks better with all those tatty bars closed, bars being the polite word for them. Burger King gone is even better.

I liked the bars and BK.

Real expats don't hang out or live on Sukhumvit. The guy you ran into + the tourists are precisely why.

Hilarious!

Both hotels owned run by same group of Scandahooligans as I called them.

Jurgan was the main man and Stefan ran Stable lodge for years.

Really good folk to know, Gentlemen.

I remember one of them being a good looking blond bloke and the other a big dark bearded type.

Is Stable Lodge still owned by them?

Bourbon Street did a good christmas lunch, stayed there on one occasion, no problems.

"Not to mention Purple Flying Machine and Kangaroo Bar !!! Lorettas on Soi Cowboy"

 Lorretta first bar in BKK I went into, recommended by the Scandahooligans who owned Mermaids Rest. As for the Kangaroo well I'll leave that to others.

Happy Days.

Mermaids Rest  That's where I stayed when I first came to Bangkok in 87. Great place and restaurant.

They opened Stable Lodge on the same soi just before closing Mermaids.
