  1. If you can’t swim please at least wear a life jacket. This could have been avoided. RIP
  2. Hope he gets a sentence for Life+. Vehicular Manslaughter. RIP to those killed by him.
  3. There probably was 2 million baht there but they only claimed it was 1 million baht. Wouldn’t surprise me.
  4. 900 police officers for 1 area in Jomtien? I guess the rest of the city had an easy night. Too bad they couldn’t use the 900 police officers spread across all of Pattaya to help traffic control, prevent snatch and grabs, street whores, the drunk driver’s and the fights. Maybe it was just a 1 night job that they had to do. I guess we are asking too much of them to work every night.
  5. Amazingly she didn’t cry sexual abuse until after the birth and the fight. Just a young girl and family upset about the money. No real thought about the poor child. This will not be a happy ending for any of them.
  6. I’m sure they’ll be shocked to find out that it’s gold plated when they try to pawn it off. Another reason Thailand is attracting less visitors. Word of mouth about how unsafe it can be.
  7. Thailand is on a slippery slope downhill. Infrastructure sucks, garbage everywhere, violence is rampant, dirty beaches, water and people trying to scam tourists any way they can. Sad, but true. If they don’t do anything about it they will definitely lose even more tourists. They need to wake up and get rid of these problems and not just focus on more events.
  8. I have had hot/cold faucets in the bathrooms and in my kitchen for 20 years. Just have to go to ThaiWatsadu, Boonthavorn, Mega Home or Home Pro to have a look. Best to see the options and prices.
  9. There are Christmas songs playing on the radio and in most shopping centers with Big Christmas trees and decorations all over Pattaya. Plus all of the people dressing up like Santa and especially his wife. The Thais have really gotten into it in the past 10+ years here in Pattaya at least. Either you’re living in the sticks or not getting out of your home.
  10. Maybe She wanted a raise and more money and did what she did to get it. Now that she has it she doesn’t want anything else to do with him. He’s still a scumbag for doing this, especially with 2 other ladies. He’s toast and she should be ashamed for interfering with the other ladies who were doing the same. She should have reported this a long time ago and especially after she had to keep the other ladies apart. I think he should lose his job and her pay goes down to what it should be. What a messed up situation.
  11. I don’t trust the banks here with a lot of money either, but have a huge fireproof safe for my valuables. Sad they lost it all, but could have been avoided. Hope they find a way to rebuild.
  12. Well we will just have to wait and see how Trump does in a couple of years. Old age sucks.
  13. Unfortunately this is what it takes for them to do anything about the problem. Obviously it’s been a problem for a long time.
  14. Well it got the police off their butts and outside. It’s very obvious that they don’t in general considering the car was just planning on zooming by, but got a we bit out of control. If they were active and patrolling the streets people wouldn’t dare speed by a police box.
  15. When will they ever learn? They wonder why people don’t care about driving laws. No repercussions for the drivers. What happened to the point system? 😂🤣 It never ceases to amaze me even after 20+ years. TIT
  16. It’s right around the corner from me. In sure the owners are trying to stay out of the spotlight, as they are foreigners, and provided the police with the information they felt was necessary. They can’t afford to lose what little business that they have.
  17. I surely hope that they dismissed him without pay until the investigation is over. 18 kids are speaking up, but sure many others are scared to speak.
  18. Another reason why there should be at least one security guard at the schools. They are needed both inside and outside of the entrance these days.
  19. It tears its head every year for at least the past 20 years and nothing really comes out of it. Sure they are going after businesses and criminals but not so much for your average home owner.
  20. 3 strikes and you’re out. Hopefully they lock him up this time for a bit longer.
  21. Hope they lock this down before Ying flees and does it again. Her silence and actions speak louder than her words.
  22. Maybe they can start offering them to more foreigners that have income. I know some people have them, but sure many more would potentially apply. I’m glad they stopped giving everyone credit cards. Too many people here just run it up like it’s free money and make minimal payments if anything. I don’t blame them for tightening up.
  23. Well now she has an excuse to tell her boyfriend about the loss of her gold and money so he can buy her some more and replenish the piggy bank. Something just seems off with this story. I’m sure she at least had it insured. Nah, probably not. That little safe was just great for complete security.
  24. They are following their natural path and now there are farms on their way. They have more rights than the farmers who stole their land. They should have realized this when they started and learned to live with the elephants and avoid them as needed.
  25. Desperation following their legal tourist visa into the country. Hmmm. Maybe they should start looking there. 😩
