What is sad about it? He is a draft dodger. right or wrong the reasons for being drafted he must adhere to his countries whims or leave the country and become citizen in the other country. Running away did not solve his problem.. Now he is poor and asking for others to support them. Why come to Thailand where he can not work and needs visas quarterly to even remain in the country? He chose this situation so why help him? I feel really bad his family followed his poor advice to come to Thailand but I also think there is more to why he chose Thailand instead of another country that would accept him and allow him to easily obtain work. But that feeling would not make me sympathize with them enough to send money to help. They knew what would happen when they came here. Now it is time to pay the piper.

the church, only changes its position because they want more members. i find it hard to believe that any clergy from before these changes actually accepts them. Even the Pope. If all he said was Who is he to judge them, then he is correct. As in Catholics only judgement is made in the hereafter. These LGBT people are so fast to take offence for any comment that does not openly advocate for them. I would compare them with a cult. If they do not like what other religions are saying or if they are agreeing men who think they are women should be treated as a woman.. Then they should make their own religion like the Thais did with Buddhism.

link please

Bob.. I am thinking you went ahead and got naturalized? Nto holding a Thai passport? So in regards to your comment here. Ask yourself this? HOw would a Thai know you had that done? You may walk up to them speaking fluent Thai.. and the Thai people will be more cautious what they say about you when you are near. You may be close to several Thais in your home area but what about everyone else? 12 years in this country i have learned we will never be treated the same. We are not in their hierarchy and if accepted into some group like that then it is only to show your white skin to make them look better. WE are walking ATM machines. Perhaps to the woman we love and married we are more than that. Perhaps not. In the end we are cash machines expected to adapt to Thai way and look the other way to everything and pay double or more for the same as Thais. There are only very few people who would think of you in the same class or social status as they do their Thai friends. You are an outsider always, welcome with your gifts or money. Unwelcome for anything else. Believe it or not, I was told this by Thai woman at a restaurant when I first arrived in this country so many years ago. I what they said was the truth. You may or may not have a small social circle of Thais you call friends. But they would be the only ones. Anyone else would see you simple as a foreigner with a big wallet.

The guards could have easily detained the men and got the cops to come sort it out.. If what the poster says is true about breaking some girls nose then off they go to happyland prison after paying their bill and the costs to settle with the woman. But what those guards is nothing more than a gang beating. Assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. All of those guards should be arrested and carted off to happyland prison also. And the one that kicked the guy in the head in the end should be charged with attempted murder as well as various other charges. As of yet, my wife cannot find anything about this in the Thailand version of news to see what is being done about it. But, in all reality. Soi 6 just lost a lot of customers from tourism for this. Anyone that sees the video or reads news about this would be hesitant to go there. Even if they are usually a good boy and never get into trouble. One could easily have been pulled into this beating even if they were bystanders. Christ, I have seen tourists with kids walking down that street. Imagine if a bystander got hurt from this? Something needs to be done about this anti-foreigner ideology that seem to be prevalent now as well as the need to react with such violent force.

It was hard to discern reading the OP... He said, she did... it kept jumping around. Only the photo of a beaten man confirms it was a gay interaction between men. I sure wish the new owners could actually read what they send us first and leave out the confusion and misnomers.

Who writes this stuff? a shootout? really? IT reads only the police shot their weapons endangering many people trying to hit the tires. Then shot him in the leg after he showed he had a gun also.

Never fear.... Thaksin is here.

you are wrong... they were not stopped. they passed without incident. even without helmets

Don't these 2 statements contradict each other? Surely, if they disciplined him when he misbehaves then he would have learned after many times that you do not talk to elderly this way. NO respect at all. The old man was wrong to slap the boy in the face.. But a good whack on his butt would have taught him to show respect. Perhaps it is the parents to blame because they allowed the boy to continuously speak badly to an old man. I know i would never allow my kids to do this. I can not see how this action is criminal though. Teachers in schools do far worse without any recourse.

Not so much of a strong message since almost 4 years have passed after the initial incident

They can not really be expected to bicker or complain.. The skimmed money is distributed already and no one would be expected to give it back. Now it does not matter what China sends them. At least this is the most logical thinking. Not fact.

so poppy is not a drug also? cocaine plants are not drugs?

Do not forget... they will allow you to keep your license to sell the alcohol so that way they do not need to compensate you for cancelling it and destroying your business.

really? So why can my wife call to ask the cost and they quote her thousands less than when i called speaking english and getting a quote? Perhaps you should try it sometime and see the difference

the act alone of what he is doing is in itself a political agenda to retaliate against the NACC for investigating him. So how can he say that is not his purpose? Also, was he not part of the NACC before? He is the pot calling the kettle black now? Why isn't he behind bars? Any normal person would have been arrested with the evidence they have and had to bail out of jail to still be walking around as a free man.

They do it for the money... all smiles when you are handing them some cash for overpriced products or service. Then as you turn your back they are complaining about the tourists... They sold themselves out to Russia and China and several other countries already for the baht. Why bitch about the consequences when they permitted it and even encouraged it to happen?

I would bet...You said absolutely the opposite when there was a case being sought against the Bidens for mishandling top secret documents and even emailing them on computers that were not protected from spying and with passwords a child could break.

I think if i came home to find my house was broken into and people living there. I would surely fly off the handle and physically remove them. Well within my rights as they broke the laws and were in my home illegally. Clearly, this man was fortunate to use social media to finally get police co-operation... Otherwise this story may have taken a nasty turn. i have a house in the mountains in the south. I am most sure if i came home from travels to find squatters have broken into my home to live there that they would be out on their arse that same day.. and maybe in the hospital instead.

I hope you are wrong about this.. I have appointment there in 2 weeks haha...

no, the reason it costs so much is because we are foreigners. DO you really think Thais could pay so much to have a better smile or working teeth? It is the same with the medical practices. They charge more to foreigners simply because they think we are all rich and willing to pay anything.

They might be good at teaching subjects... but not speaking. Their pronunciation is and always will be Asian. Intonations and speaking patterns taught incorrectly. I have seen many (qualified filipino teachers pronouncing words wrong. Many teaching whereas even I, standing outside their door could not understand half of what was being said. As well as many of my own students telling me i said something incorrectly because their filipino teacher told them differently. SO, I have to disagree with your assessment about filipino teachers. Although there are some that are good at subject teaching, the majority are the same as a Thai/English teacher with bad intonation and bad accents.

There are English speaking Dentist offices in Hua Hin that quote 25000 baht for implant.. I do not know where you were asking.. Perhaps you should check around more

that is reasonable for 1st world country.. maybe even 2nd world country.. but is very expensive for Thailand... How many Thais do you think could actually pay for even a crown?
