Well he won't grow old now. Some people turn their brains off when they land in Thailand.

Can't come soon enough. I'm sure most people in the UK now see Brexit was a mistake.

Family friendly image has been upheld, after a few days in hospital he will be as good as new.

She's a big girl and he's as dumb as they come.

As opposed to, let's finish the job and totally destroy the world.

Coconuts with legs.

He is Swiss

The bar fine goes to the owner

Our experiences are all the result of causal events, how we deal with them, in a good or bad way, are also causal, free will is limited by causality. Very very simply put, a poor man trying to feed his family in an emergency will chose to steal a man with sufficient funds wont.

Dressed like a lot of farang in a town, I can't understand it, in the Isaan market town where I live the majority of Thais who shop in Tesco are decently dressed, the men in long trousers and shirts, the women smartly dressed and as a contrast about 50% of the falang men I see in there are dressed in shorts and a vest wearing flip flops often unshaven, simply slovenly. It's not as if they're poor, in the car park I see them getting into big new SUV's, it seems they've brought the deprived council estate mentality with them.

Maybe she thought, 'looks as if I'm going to get lucky'

He's a good boy.

No plans.

I agree, when Charly, my Great Dane, was alive nobody, not even friends who knew him, dared enter the courtyard, let alone the house if I wasn't present and tradesmen demanded he be shut indoors before entering to do work in the garden, a sensible precaution as one day a man helping me to lift a fridge to take it away for repairs found himself on the floor with his arm gripped firmly in Charlies mouth, he had suddenly leaned in to quickly and too closely to me, luckily no damage was done, no blood drawn as he was wearing something like a sturdy long sleeved boiler suit. Nothing like a Great Dane for safety but apart from being expensive they only live for 7 years, great companions and good with kids.

Yes they do but looking at my son's homework they seem to start later than we did with trigonometry and algebra.

So she didn't struggle and ask for help at the hotel desk?

Things should be looked at in the correct perspective, I'm sure you won't be disappointed, there will be enough people saying, 'typical Thailand' later on.

She will have to drive her MG straight back to the service station, it was hardly worth her while leaving it. The report must have been interesting;- oil filter changed air filter changed handbrake adjusted rear end <deleted>

True, in the US he would be dead, especially as an Asian.

I've only ever taken curb crawlers (I have no idea how to order a 'grab' taxi anyway) I've only had good experiences with taxis in Bangkok, one taxi driver came from a place near my village in Isaan and was most helpful in helping me find a building that was hard to identify and even refused a tip for the extra trouble I put him through.

I've just fished out a tax assessment sent to me from my German tax office from a few years ago of which I took no notice but was relieved that I didn't have to pay any tax in Germany on my income. Basically it said due to the DTA, Thailand has the right to tax my income and therefore no tax demands from Germany will be made of me. So for me it seems straight forward, I have to pay tax in Thailand. I can't be upset about that though, it means I haven't paid tax anywhere for the last 19 years.

Much needed positive news about a falang for a change.......it was his van I hope.

Unfortunately such corruption raises its head in all countries these days, the days of the boring but correct, unbiased, honest civil servant are the stuff of legends from yesteryear. This woman should be reinstated with promotion and given hefty monetary compensation while her dishonest colleagues should be arrested. Kudos to her, a rarity in this day and age.

How brave of you.

So despite his explanation of good intent he hasn't received any fan mail as yet.
