It is my opinion that abortion should be legalised worldwide. It is my opinion that genital mutilation in boy and girls should be illegal worldwide. How can one "fact check" these examples? So first, the word "opinion" needs to be properly defined for the context it was intended for. In my opinion, the question was asked as if someone stated as a fact, something that could be challenged as probably only an opinion, as it related to a "fact check" that justified it, and would we be prepared to change our mind. My answer is. yes, I would!

A "rip-off" is an exorbitant charge for something actually a lot less than its worth. If it is a scam, he can argue (if he has evidence) that he was lured under false pretenses into an "arrangement". For this case to succeed he will have prove to the court that a crime has been committed. As far as I can see, they agreed they would marry but the relationship failed - who knows? - maybe she found out he was already married - she would have the right to decide against the marriage and it is as much a situation she has a case herself to have answered. She has agreed they can talk about B3-400,000 as a "settlement". I think I would go for that, then no lawyers involved or any other expenses that would eat well into the difference of his claim for 4MB.

I have been to more funerals in Thailand than I can possibly remember. in general, there will be quite a few more people at Thai funerals that have little connection to the deceased than would be the case in UK for example. The tears are often shed at events prior to the funeral itself (nearer to time of death) where closer people involved will share their open grief. This allows for some level of "acceptance" that makes the funeral itself a little easier to bear.

Ah, "Cash and Grab" What a state humanity is now (and ever has been) Nobody can trust anybody! We all have to be protected from each other!

It WAS an accident unless it was intentional.

How do I get an impression of a "surge" in passengers from a picture with no passengers?

I have had a problem with pulse TV for the last couple of months on my pc; it is so bad that I can't watch on there any more. I have used chrome and Firefox browsers but no difference. Apart from the last few days I have watched on my tablet with no issues. But in the last two days I have had buffering with pulse and everything else on the internet on tablet and pc. I imagine it is my 3bb that maybe the problem. I haven't checked it today yet.

Well, as short a time ago as yesterday, I "ended up" 40 kms from where I thought I was going! The night before my wife and I agreed we would go to a restaurant called "Chune" about 9 kms from the resort where we are staying. So yesterday we set off and although I knew basically how to get there, my wife got out her GPS and instructed me to go left out of Doi Saket in the opposite direction. I was sceptical of this decision in the form of being surprised. After more than one hour, we arrived at a restaurant called "Chuen" and simply thought it was a different spelling from "Chune". Actually it was quite nice so we had lunch there. During this time, I looked at the photos of Chune on the internet and they were quite different from where we were. My wife made a mistake - a sort of clerical error, in which she got confused with the similarity of the words between seeing the Chune Web page and checking on the GPS the next day, how to get there and instead typed in the other one. Ha ha! Today we went to Chune restaurant and had a great time. Yes, only 9 kms and about 15 minutes to get there.

Take note those Pit Bull Owners on this forum! Another Pit Bull causes death turning on its own family! Now my opinion: They are all ugly looking brutes, anyway! Including photos of them here!

You have asked the questions, I think, rhetorically, but the answer is, favourable publicity, that may attempt to help redress the balance of the Taiwanese woman who said she would never set foot in Thailand again after her negative experience. My point now would be that those who I believe were right in lambasting the RTP for that Taiwanese star affair should not now be cynical about a reverse situation when there was a happy ending (no, not that sort) arising from honesty and goodwill, that most of us would approve of!

I agree. It is a nice little story that for the rare occasions that "Thais can be praised", there is need felt by some to create ill out of it!

The answer to this question is easy. They are all over the place in all parts of the country. What do these terms, "hiso" or "good family" even mean as it relates to any particular woman? Do they state these as facts in their profile? To me, status or background of an individual is not as important, or conditions of suitability, as my perception of them now! 'Hi so and good family' tell me nothing about personality, demeanour; if they are kind, considerate, thoughtful, unselfish, honest, loving, loyal and faithful. Meeting them and understanding their general attitude towards living and loving will more likely give a better feeling of potential compatibility. Then there is a small matter of her arriving at a similar conclusion about you!

"You can't park there" "Why not"? Bang! bang! bang!

Did you notice the first word in my comment? Only a little word but indicating clearly that I am aware of the "maybe".

If they love each other and each are happy with the other's personality and other traits (as perceived by outsiders), maybe he isn't stupid!

if the relationship one has with a bar girl or any other euphemism for a prostitute is for casual sex, who cares whether they lie or not; it has little meaningful impact on the punter - any more than the lies the punter tells the bargirl!

In my case, they tell me and they are not lying!

Let's take them at their word and see what happens!

Mostly sarcasm, a bit of genius; but the real truth is, "meiosis". For those new to this word, it is "understatement"

If you are old, fat and ugly then it is easy to distinguish a bar girl from anyone else in the bar! How? Even when walking past the bar you will enjoy a young, provocatively dressed girl giving you the "glad eye" Stop, go inside, and suddenly you will become handsome!

I am very sorry to hear this story! For myself, I have no personal experience of corruption by the RTP to my disadvantage in 20 years living in Thailand. The RTP are our Defenders They are our Protectors They are our Enforcers of the Constitution The are our Enforcers of the law Aren't they? A high level of disappointment from me to the RTP

Nothing can be accomplished if nothing is done!

We have only the story here to read. No police or witness statements for us to dissect, so we believe or not believe. Waste of time to speculate on the numerous possible precise scenarios - so I won't!

I lived near Hang Dong for a couple of months about 8 years ago. Out of Hang Dong town I took a right to the parallel road to the 108, turned right somewhere along there and went in to the hills. I am sorry, cannot remember enough to guide you precisely. I also spent three years around San Patong until 2017 and found plenty of places to do my biking - nearly every day. I went through lovely countryside and I went through a few villages. Having said that without actually helping you much, you could easily do what I did - I had to find ways that one might say is a route, by simply going along a bit of a main road anywhere and take any turning off right or left and just see where it takes you. I didn't use GPS in those days but now, you can see where you are at any moment and try out a few of the roads that you can see on the map. When you get home, the GPS will have tracked wherever you went including the dead ends or roads that took you back to a main road, and make adjustments next time out. It won't be long before you have found something you like. As far as being "safe" is concerned that is mainly you! I have been biking in many places in Thailand covering probably around 70,000kms in 15 years. I have never had any kind of accident - in fact I have never even fallen off my bike. Have I been lucky? Yes a bit, but many accidents happen arising from a bit of bad luck - being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But I am certainly not complacent!

Exactly. it is being stated that the death is a mystery - that in my book justifies, some investigation even though that means that by a pathologist to discover a precise cause of death. If not, what will the death certificate say? Cause of death - "Don't know"
