British Expat Arrested For Punching and Killing Russian Man
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Another Brit doing us all proud, drink, women, late night, what can go wrong. A good lawyer could probably get him off if Miss Mod corroborates his story, after all he was defending the virtue of a Thai 'lady' and didn't intend to kill the Russian, mitigated manslaughter.- 338 replies

Possible indeed, according to David Bohm's 'implicate order' the implicate is behind a veil waiting to unfold and become the explicite, who knows what possibilities lie waiting to unfold in the backstreets of Grimsby and the like, precipitated by a letter stating it is OHMS. The beauty of a professional army is that the soldiers should have an acceptable standard of education, an average intelligence with the potential for improvement and, here is the crux, be motivated and although a professional army is expensive I don't think that cutting costs by ripping a few pot smoking youths from the benefits queue is going to serve the country's needs even though some of the 'great unwashed' would no doubt turn their lives around due to the experience of discipline and a new found self respect.

Where do foreigners fit in the Thai hierarchy?
soalbundy replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I can agree with that, I have been in our village in Isaan for almost 20 years, everybody knows me, I'm a fixture in the village, I'm regarded as 'one of them' as far as being a village member is concerned but not as a member of Thai society. -
Where do foreigners fit in the Thai hierarchy?
soalbundy replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
That's no different to anywhere else, my father had an Egyptian business partner, a naturalized British citizen, he had been in the country for over 40 years and spoke English without an accent. He and my father were close friends. He was at our house for dinner one day and I was in the kitchen with my mother when we heard the two of them talking about business practices in different countries, they imported a lot, when the business partner said, 'we British........" my mother gave out a chuckle. She didn't consider him British although my family and his (wealthy) family had known each other socially for 10 years. -
Neighbour strikes boy over ‘drunkard’ name-calling

The brat wont taunt him again, nothing wrong with a slap that caused no injury, it's possibly the first time he had been disciplined in his life. -
Why 'low quality' engine? isn't it a copy of a successful German engine? The engineering process to produce it won't be much different from the Germans.

Thailand’s Aging Population Challenges Economic Growth
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Normally you need economic growth to pay off the country's foreign debt. As the now deceased Bavarian minister president Strauss once said, "growth is not everything but without growth there is nothing". Children are the next generation to pay the pensions of the old, they will be the future service providers, fire brigade, police, doctors, nurses etc. Fewer people doesn't mean you need fewer services, fewer plumbers, fewer electricians, fewer road workers but it does mean there are less taxes to pay for all this. Less consumption means lower production numbers which in turn will cause prices to rise. An infrastructure made for 80 million people will fall apart if the numbers drop to 40 million. Old vulnerable people who have no children to help them will need more support from the state but where are the nurses and money to come from.....Sub-Saharan people, they are the only ones with a population growth.....I can just imagine the nashing of gums from the oldies then. -

Tourists behaving badly: Locals protest for better respect
soalbundy replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
No change because it's all about money, the knuckledraggers bring in more money than old and middle aged eco tourists, not much profit in a round of herbal tea, kick out the filth and the locals will complain about loss of income. Stricter 'boots on the ground' policing to dissuade bad behaviour, not just retro acting after a crime has been committed could help somewhat but Thais should also look closer to home, some of this bad behaviour will have been caused by Thais themselves, rip offs and aggressive lady-boys invites violence.- 51 replies
