If he is still in CM they will catch him very soon. Thai Police are fast.

My email notification: "Danish woman robbed by Farang man in Chiang Mai"

Why not "Farang woman robbed by European-looking man" ... or "Farang woman robbed by Farang man"?

There are millions of "European-looking" men in Australia, the United States of America and England.

Question: Who is writing these headlines?!

Answer: Someone who needs education.

Technicall, you are a grumpy sort. Of the worst ones needs to be said.

Annoying parasite.

The 1 hour refresher course was more a course in social classes then a course in correct driving and rules.

The good driver is a kikou anone family, mother father (driver) and cute kid. White skin and advertisement models. In a fortuner.

The bad guy had long hair, never smiling and drove and old car. He was Claire socially less enviable. The whole video was full of stereotypes about rich and poor. Meanwhile very little instructions. This video should be redone. Same or similar model. Same car. Bad guy in a red shirt and good guy in a green shirt. Or both in a white shirt and clearly indicate what is right and wrong. That would be much more effective. Not this social classes video which is really a shame and thinks those taking the refresher are idiots.

You can definitely say something. But do it in a nice way, polite and friendly. But also assertive and confident.

Something like: I am sorry, perhaps you are not aware but in Thailand it is perceived as very rude not to...

Tell them they will have a much nicer holiday... that Thai will not tell them as they are shy but that Thai definitely have a negative perception

I bought a LED Samsung SMART TV and i think the premium on a normal LED Samsung TV was a waste of money. I would not do it again.

1) Aside of the higher price you need to buy an DONGLE Separately. This add about Thb. 2500

2) Surfing on the TV and typing in website addresses is an absolute nightmare. (Try to type a web-address using your remote control)

3) Some apps (e.g. youTube) do not show full content. You will only be able to see some clips

4) You can not download anything (movies/music) as it all streams

5) It is all very slow and complicated

5) Sometimes the internet connection is not fast enough and then the picture will hang and freeze. Extremely irritating.

All in all this SMART makes me think of the kind of gadgets we had when internet just started, some 20 years ago.

I recommend to buy a normal LED TV and then to connect your computer/laptop though the HDMI cable. To control your laptop from the comfort of your sofa you buy a wireless key board (400 Thb) and a wireless mouse (200 Thb).

With this solution you will save around Thb 5,000 (+ dongle) and will have much better abilities. My SMART is really irritating me and i seldom use it. I use the laptop connected to the TV all the time and it is convenient and fast.

Try getting it straight from the farm and not the store and buy a Toshiba rice cooker with a 4mm forged thick pot. I now cook all the rice at home by request. My cooker also has a timed thing so I can set it at night to start cooking an hour before we get up.

Cool, you seem quiet rice-organized!

Somkuan = Somnamna

Rajawongse became heavily overpriced. They have the guts to ask 18.000 for a Suit including 2 trousers. That's 600 USD.

They won't see me again neither would I recommend them anymore. Raja NON Se.

.

And you did not do anything about it????

How come?

If you think it was so unjust you could at least have screamed to the security to stop. Probably he would have been so surprised that he would stop beating up the boy.

I don't understand you.

Maybe linked, maybe not. Sounds like a bit of a dodgy fellow from the beginning anyway. Could be some other things he is involved in. What does he do for a living? How does he make money?

He is dead so he doesn't do much for a living. Neither any pennies coming in in his grave I am afraid.

Who cares? He seems to be part of the scum of this earth

Police better check their passports too... might have beens stolen too as those names sounds neither from The Netherlands or from Norway.

If you are paying for the car with cash, make sure the vehicle is registered in your name, and the car is something you are happy to drive.

We have just bought a Ford Fiesta 1.5L Sport. Wife chose the colour from 2 colours I liked. But she still likes to drive my 8 year old Isuzu D-Max 4 x 4. Surprising really, because she is only 150 cms tall, and weighs 38 kgs. But...........her driving is very good, and I judge that from being an Approved Driving Instructor in the UK many years ago.

You are horny to the Max... A small little woman who loves to drive big things...

VW new beetle....... Mini..........Fiat 500.....

OK you know what I like, but probably not practical.......

Small cars for the price e of big cars...

Do most of you with larger amounts keep your deposits in Baht or a foreign currency? I do not have large amounts of deposits but have been considering changing my currency to a more stable currency and curious of anyone's opinion.

It all depends what the purpose of that money is. If you think you will spend it in Thailand it might be better just to leave it in Thb.

If you consider spending it abroad it might be best to convert it (at the right time)

Somnamna! I quote: "some hotels are releasing black water"

Well soon those hotels will be empty cause tourists will avoid this beach.

They will be crying all over when travel agents will cancel their contracts on Bangtao beach.

Well done and me pen rai, right?

OK.... first of all she is a prostitute. But that does not make her a less nice person. Obviously she is a nice person. And being a pro does not mean she does not have feelings. Obviously she has.

So it's a good friend.

Just don't abuse of her: Everything she meets you she does not make money. So take good and gentle care of her. And perhaps, like most expats do here, still pay her if she doesn't refuse.

Good luck. Good guy. Good girl.

OP, you really do not seem to be a very smart person

Please comment after listening carefully and taking the effort to see the 25 minutes footage.

He says: When I had a problem, they [my parents] sent me to a better school. When I have another problem they send me to an even better school. And when I have lots of problems, they send me to the top school.

That would make you think what a (deleted) he is. And that is where it goes wrong because he said, right after: so it is all about who you know, you build up those relations during your whole live, and THAT IS WHY THIS COUNTRY FAILS. So he was not bragging about going to those schools, he was using it as an illustration.

"My girlfriend got angry at me after we left with the money."

"She said they will give me problems next time I need to go."

Seems like "wonderful" Support !

In this instance I wouldn't call the GFs attitude "lack of support" (although it is quite common not get support from the better half when one stands up for oneself against authority). ...I think she was simply looking after your interests and concerned that they may remember you if there was a next time.

I think your girlfriend "getting angry" on you in front of the officers was a smart move. It gave some face back to the officers who are not used to be challenged.

By this action she demonstrated she "would handle" you, paving the way for the officers to let go.

Smart girlfriend.

Good job by the Police. Compliments for such fast detective work!
