My Maternal Grandmother's (B 1897, D 2004) claim to fame (or perhaps infamy!) was that when she was working at a hospital in Washington State, most likely in the 1920's or early 1930's, she was introduced to Al Capone. She said that he was nothing like the way he was portrayed in movies. Her words were that "He was beautifully dressed and had beautiful manners".

Ask your employer for help. I expect that they don't want to lose an employee over paperwork issues. Palm-greasing is a likely requirement.

I do feel sorry for those guys in the west who know nothing better than western wimmin.

Spot on. You gotta wonder about this guy's level of intelligence - planning I doubt that anyone in a Santa suit would be allowed anywhere near children at Jewish schools!

The Brits will get (at least) 5 years of what they voted for. I doubt that they, or indeed the rest of the civilised world, will enjoy that.

Bolt cutter - takes seconds - hacksaw or grinder will produce small filings which are best kept away from the brake so I wouldn't use either. Then surveillance. It might have been kids playing tricks, but you need to find out who is involved and why so that you can deal with it as otherwise it is likely to recur or escalate which could become expensive, dangerous or both.

...do you think Thai girls can tell if you can't be fooled anymore? Act like a newbie & you'll find out.

As the Father named on the child's UK Birth certificate, your permission is required for the child to be issued with a Thai passport. In your place I'd insist on the house being transferred into the child's name as a pre-condition of agreeing to the issue of the Thai passport. You will need a Thai lawyer to ensure that this is done correctly.

Irrespective of whatever led to this terrible tragedy, RIP all.

You are the new arrival. Maybe best not to make waves. Let one of your neighbors deal with the hassle, and if they don't then there may be an excellent for their inaction. Earplugs until then.

Careful with that chopper!

It'll never get off the ground.

Proof that the "treatment" worked? 🤣🤣🤣

30,0000!!!! That is a truly shocking number. Gonna need to build more prisons....

Thai justice? Be careful what you wish for.

Amateur.

Outstanding questions remain about new visa rules for Thailand So surprising!

"Size doesn't matter" - one of the biggest lies in the World.

Perhaps the "open door policies" will be extended to all trains and buses to make it easier to eject rude passengers?

Good luck on EVA. Thai's prices are currently far too high, but I flew with EVA Air BKK-LHR only once. At check in in Bangkok they wanted to put me on a different flight via Hong Kong because they had overbooked and upon landing at LHR, as they gave the normal "welcome to London where the time is now....." announcement, the other passengers were apparently so impressed that the Pilot had actually landed at the correct airport that they all applauded! I have used Thai ever since.

Well done, and many thanks for the detailed post with so much good information in there. Enjoy your time in the UK.

Was he wearing flip-flops?

An entirely baseless and scurrilous implication! All RTP officers are unfailingly honest, with the highest moral standards, paragons of virtue and unimpeachable representatives of all that is best in Thai culture and society!

Miscommunication in Thailand. How unusual!

It seems that the Rainy Season has now arrived!
