Has Thailand become the sick man of Asean?
How can this be when they had such such good leaders? Are they now trying to tell us the opposite?

Thai Monk Nabbed Shoplifting Beer from Isaan Grocery Stores
What a joke. for 12 years I have been reading about what monks do when no-one is looking and even seen it with my own eyes. Drugs, sex with married women, alcohol, murder, incest, child-sex or porn, theft, and many other crimes regularly. You see them walking around looking like the only live on the food sustenance until you see the 80,000 baht IPhone or Ipad they pull out. When will Thais realize that more than a few monks are not following Buddhism's teachings? This article does not surprise me. Nor does it show Buddhism in a good light. Perhaps I need to go see that 8 year old kid who is claiming to be a reincarnation of Buddha with mystical powers to see what has happened to the real Buddhism?

yeah, it does not really make sense adding so much security since you can not obtain money through that website.

My Girlfriend Fell for the Land Scam
Wow you are not kidding. Wife works in a government office. The office supervisor is there today crying and will be going to file a police report because she just sent 80,000 baht to someone claiming to be the bank manager at her bank. Scammed so easily simply by telling her that there was an error and she needed to send the money to fix it. This is a Government worker who manages payouts millions of baht to other government workers. No checking authenticity of the bank and the manager. No checking the account to see if there was really a problem.. Just a phone call and off her money goes without thought

Lopburi monkey mayhem: Biker crashes over stolen durian
Their committee that was set up to capture and relocate those monkeys seems to have stopped. One article in the news about 2 months ago hailing this and the capture between 20 to 30 monkeys. But then nothing. One would think it would not be difficult to capture more quickly given the monkeys dependence on food from the temple and in the city.

Srettha turns to Wissanu for legal advice amid Pichit controversy
Don't think he will need to prepare much except maybe memorizing what to say that is being told to him. He is protected now with Thaksin pulling the strings.

My Girlfriend Fell for the Land Scam
Why didn't you file a police report? Can not see how you found all of that funny though. A gf of 8 years would be considered your wife anyway. Also it sounds as if you were the one scammed simply because she must have been using your money to pay for the uhh (land).

Hunter Biden Set to be First Child of Sitting US President to Face Trial
No more than TUG did with the first comment posted. Even if he is guilty, the Prez managed to escape becoming involved with it even though it was proven he met the investors with his son personally and was in speakerphone talks with them making deals. This case can not go away simply because of the publicity and need to continue to keep Biden out of it. However, I seriously doubt there will be any conviction. It is a show now made to pacify the voters for Biden.

Immigration Police Detain 34 Illegal Foreign Workers in Chonburi Raid
Uh oh.. perhaps someone forgot to send those much needed envelopes. Why do they pick on these workers? No Thai in Chonburi would do such for for so little pay. There are much bigger fish they could be catching right there in the open selling themselves or services out in the open. The last time I walked down walking street i was approached by several foreigners showing cards with pricing for sex shows in Non-specific bars. They were doing it in the middle of the street with the small police stand within 50 meters.

US My Social Security transitioning to new login. I don't have a US mobile phone
When i opened mine with SSA i did not have a US number. I used ID ME. They will give you an option to get some codes to use for log in. At first i thought it would be a pain and difficult but after several times using it I feel it is convenient. Just make sure you store codes in a hidden folder if keeping them in your PC. You can copy and paste them easily enough.

Fan stopped working, can I buy a new capacitor
why not just take it to a shop that does this.. It will be cheap enough and not waste your time waiting for delivery and doing it yourself. My fan also had the same problem but it was not the capacitor. You may find you are wrong about the problem and change that only to find it still does not work. The cost to fix my industrial sized fan was only 150 baht. Are you so cheap you can not just let a professional fix it?

US Passport Renewal Hell - Thailand Edition May 2024
I recently did 3 passport renewals all by mail. You seem to either not be able to read or perhaps unable to interpret what you read. They post photos or how to make payment. How to do the mail. You can get a bank draft to send payment. They show photos of it and the banks you can use. Then you can get a prepaid envelope if i remember correctly to have them mail it back.

Can you still travel not being fit?
Yeah, but think it was B.S. Even if you are strapped to a bed you can still be allowed on an airplane. My guess is that story was just some drivel Thaiger made to make you sympathize with them and help an ongoing gofundme or worse. I know for sure anyone can walk into a clinic and get a doctors release to fly if offering the doctor money.

Who's going to the Philippines then?
Have fun there Bob.. Last time I was there i saw many very old men like you with 18 year old wives following behind their old husbands and although not a single one looked happy. They were dressed to the 9. I am sure you too can find one happy to spend your money and lay with you (maybe not so happy) there

British Pensioner Struggles with Frozen Pension in Thailand
yeah, i am suspecting this also. As well as the woman and her husband failing to plan their future as retired. They have been in Thailand a very long time. When they arrived the THB was getting them almost the same as it is now. But the cost of living was 1/4 of what it is now. I wonder why they did not plan with savings for their futures, knowing their incomes would stay the same. Everyone knows the cost to live increases yearly. Also, when they saw their money dwindling, why did they wait until now to try to leave? Based on the article they have been told by several doctors now that she is unfit to fly. If they were already struggling before, why wait until there is nothing and she is unable to leave by plane?

Murder suspect poses as foreigner and flees to Hua Hin
Do you really think they even bothered to look at it? Their eyes were surely on the focus if the money being spent rather than if the buyer was legitimate.

Homeless Couple in Khon Kaen Penalized for Having Sex in Public
so remember folks... only say good things about what you read and see here. lest they block or ban you for saying what you really think.. i am curious if the Thaiger has this policy in their website. Or if the moderators are going to far in this. As for the comments i am replying to in the quote. I expect mine will also be deleted or edited. 200 baht for a quicky on the side of the road. Can not get any cheaper than that. I would guess this was not their first rodeo. I am curious though based on the photos provided so generously. Does they insinuate there are many women homeless ready to have sex with someone for so little money? 2 women laying there looking like they are ready for whatever comes by. Hmm... What was the address again to find them?

l believe you answered your own question... The women there don't want Aussie men. They still prefer an American man who treats them good.

Exotic pet trainer attacks South Korean in Pattaya ‘coin-troversy’
Why is this? Clearly it is assault with intent to harm.. Why they can not determine this man is a menace to society and violent and attacked someone physically causing harm. Instead they should have charged and arrested the Thai man. If a foreigner had done that he would have been arrested. When will the 2 tiered justice end. Throwing money is an insult to Thai. But it is not violent and does not cause harm and injuries.

Court sentences ex-police officer to death for fatal Trang shooting
Seems this is appearing in every article related to crime and justice. Are they trying to convince us or themselves? No one believes it anyway

Orthopedic doctor or neurosurgeon in with experience in osteoporotic compression fractures
I would suggest you go to Siriraj hospital. They actually took care of my back very good and I have had multiple procedures there. They imported a doctor from Australia when i needed laser surgery to sever some nerves in my back. Also, they have a pain management center specifically for the back. I was getting special massage therapy and heat therapy on my back at the hospital for several months. Their cost is not as much as private hospitals also. But they have very professional doctors and service being the Kings hospital. If you want to go in the evenings they also utilize the hospital next door which is private but not as costly.

New Tax Rules for Expats in Thailand Spark Concern
It is my opinion that if i am having to pay taxes, then i should not foreigner charged for buying or doing things. If you are a tax payer then the country should treat you as one. Not treat you as an extended stay tourist. Are we not paying enough already being overcharged just because we are foreigners? I know for sure the extra costs we incur are surely more yearly than any tax i would need to pay. This article sheds no new light on any rulings we need to know about as a long staying foreigner. As of now, nothing has been settled as to the standard we must follow. However, I think the government should consider the facts about what we actually pay by living here. The additional expenses that NON-Taxpaying citizens and the few tax-paying citizens enjoy with cheap prices. I have been considering buying an air machine from the government hospital. They told me as a foreigner I would need to pay 25% more than the listed price. That is almost 20,000 baht more than the cost for it simply because I am a foreigner here. Ridiculous.
