Should read a "dumb and greedy cryptocurrency buyer".

I think that was one of the many crooked Financial Advisers who were touting the scheme and ripped off millions from investors

A was party to an investment scam a few years ago (court case still ongoing), but the financial adviser legged it to the UK. Thai authorities asked for him to be sent back to Thailand so he could stand trial here, but the UK courts deemed that the state of the prisons here was not conducive to his being sent back. That's justice for you ... NOT

They may cut the original in half but when this has happened to me, I merely put a stop on the original card and then go into the bank the next day, tell them the machine swallowed my card and for 100 baht, they promptly issue a new one. Easy peasy.

How about 6 of the best with a 1/2 thick cane? That was my punishment at boarding school, and it left large welts on your backside, but you took it.

Indian "best practice"

The "Big C" of course and not the shopping conglomerate

As an ex-Bouncer for pubs and clubs in Oxford and doing security for bands at the Oxford Apollo I never had to resort to punching anyone. It was all about talking them down and having a conversation. These "thugs" as people call them, have a reason for being like they are, and if you can find out what that is you can talk about it. Clearly, this couldn't work in Thailand because most Thai Bouncers can't speak English.

No, get those f'wits to abide by the law. This even happens on the crossing that is directly outside Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. I make a point of stopping the ignorant #ankers by sticking out my walking stick in front of them which they don't like but at least it part of the learning curve.

The last time it took twelve weeks from France to Thailand ... pathetic.

Yes there is. They're Thai citizens.

For 6-months I was having major anxiety attacks when I would scream obscenities, punch whatever I could, no sleep, could'nt catch my breath. Tried all the natural remedies, breathing exercises etc nothing worked. I went to see a Mental Health Practitionet at the BPH and I have been on ant-anxiety drugs ever since ... Seroxat, Zolam and Anta. They turned my life around and have had no real side effects. You can't get these drugs in Pharmacies as they are strictly Govt controlled and only available on prescription from the hospital pharmacy.

If it wasn't for Social Media ... damn.

And of course Thailand has a good history of that don't they?

There's a Zebra Crossing outside the entrance to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital in Pattaya. I go there every 10 days to get treatment for a knee condition so I use a walking stick. Cars don't even stop for someone like me to get across. I now deliberately stick out my walking stick so if they continue they will hit it and hopefully do some damage. If they hit me at least I'm in the right place to get instant treatment.

I am me what's it got to do with you? I've been here for 13 years (not a few years). I didn't say he had MH problems I said he might have which would have to be taken into account. Don't make a diagnosis on what you read on here. Are you a doctor? Assuming that he is one of your "quality tourists" that is also assumption on your part. Learn how to post will you

The man has mental health problems. He is not what you call a "quality" tourist type who just come to Thailand to pi$$ it up and find a loose woman (plenty of them about). So less of you insinuations please

Damn you beat me to it ... you mean bull5h1T

That's not the only way to run a business in Thailand btw.

Stupid post ... then he becomes a non-activist

Get a life

Could be ... one will have boxes and stuff in it the other will have people sitting in a row. That is a big difference.

Why should she want to he's the puppeteer

They come from a "no alcohol" and strict country and get pi$$ed out of their brains and think they are Captain Marvel. Just a bunch of young thugs who are restricted from practically doing anything in their own country so come to good old "family-friendly" Pattaya to let off steam.

Stupid statement. It is already changing their lives. I wouldn't sniff at 200K
