It is difficult to understand the thinking behind not wearing a seat belt or wearing a crash helmet. In fact, when talking with those bereft of responsibility or a disregard for the law - in that order, I refer to SAFETY belts and SAFETY helmets. A few years ago I became partly responsible for two little girls 5 and 3 years old as their mother was in prison for drug offenses. My girlfriend didn't hitherto wear her safety belt until I insisted she did. The first time the children were in the car (I was the Passenger) the older child wanted to sit on my lap. I said that if she did she would need the safety belt on. It wasn't easy because it had to be round us both!! I said she will have to sit in the back and I will show her and the younger one how to put he belt on. No problems at all with this arrangement. Two days later, in the car again and the two children automatically got in the back and fastened their belts with no prompting. It really isn't that difficult with proper encouragement to introduce basic safety skills, even to young children. Hopefully, they then grow up to be responsible adults! I have no story after that as I left my girlfriend as she was a compulsive Gambler!

Unless it is a one way street, cars pass on both sides of the road in every country in the world. Pedestrians should therefore observe traffic from both directions!

Thank goodness this comment is in the minority - as I would guess from you!

Trump IS the cancer! There is no cure until the Justice Matters Dept gets its act together and shoves him into prison where he should have been years ago!

Let us all be charitable and accept that Don Giovanni, Elvis Presley, Colin, Robert Smith and Bob are here for our entertainment

My comment is a generalisation - not intending to be personal. In any event winning anything tonight can be lost again tomorrow. The "loser" element relates to the general level of gambling in which just about most people DO end up losing!

Any kind of gambling is for losers - actually!

I think this should be viewed as a positive post. This woman has found somewhere she loves, compared with her own country and obviously her experience, though limited, creates paradise-type feelings. Don't deny her these feelings - maybe it will prove to be long-lasting, maybe not. If she is able to live in Thailand legally and keep herself out of trouble, let her enjoy the life she has chosen - without the unnecessary accusations of being lazy!!

Yes, good to see a positive thread about the Thai people in general. I have been living in various parts of Thailand for 22 years and my position on Thai people, without comparing with anywhere else, is just about 100% positive. If I were to make an observation about the negative attitudes of many Farang, I would say that most complaints come from those who live in areas where there is a large population of resident foreigners and of course many tourists. This has the effect of local Thai people having their daily life culture compromised and more likely for conflict to occur and subsequent complaints arising. Most of the reporting of these conflicts originate from Pattaya, Phuket, to a lesser extent around Chiang Mai, and parts of Bangkok. For those of us who live in areas of Thailand where there are few tourists and foreign residents; we are more immersed in everyday Thai life so they and said foreign residents co-exist in an atmosphere of easier tolerance of our differences!

Hello Richard, I have said enough already on this topic. But I agree with everything YOU have said on the side of common decency and is NOT woke or Political correctness from whence I come!

Give up - no further unnecessary interchange has value No, don't block anyone

Maybe English isn't your first language - I forgive you No more tripe please!

You continue to deflect from my original comment that is about the message, not the shirts per se! Don't be deflector all your life Take a day off - or preferably 25 years!

You didn't understand or chose not to. My comments are NOT about shirts but the message on them You and Harris Man are ignoring it Don't bother me anymore My original comment remains valid.

If you actually read the OP properly and HarrisFan comments and my replies you MIGHT understand!

Not an insult - a fact!

Typical insult reply suggests a lack of self-control! Nothing to do with politics - I am neither lefty or righty But I am interested in Fairness and Justice As a Trumper you are not interested in such matters as all of your comments clearly demonstrate

Not about shirts - you silly little man. About advertising yourself as supporting Putin and Hitler - genocidal maniacs - as if they are worth being proud of! Buy one and take a photo and show it as your ID on here and let's see the reactions!

For the Shop Owner: Not Buddhist Not Business ethics Ignorant and insensitive - who cares? People buy, therefore we sell! Its the MONEY! Money is the determining factor in all we do!

Obviously, YOU would!

Stupid comment - if you don't have any sense, don't pass it on to me!

Who will in turn blame Biden!!

My fish pool spilled water all over the terrace My wife got vertigo. She was cooking lunch and the noodles went over the pan and onto the worktop I spent some time comforting her - she is still feeling scared I timed it here (as close to 1.20pm as makes no difference0- like others commenting, I thought at very first I was having a stroke and hung on to my desk.

Can you offer something useful?

The whole house shook very scary! Think epicentre somewhere else it will be in the news very shortly
