That's a bit full on,  but yes for the child killers. 

It is accurate though. I am referring to murder not manslaughter

There is a lot of truth in this above statement.

 

Police: Make sure that a crime has really been committed, not fabricated.

Prosecutors: Believe someone other then the police! Do your job honestly.

Judges: In the first court everyone is guilty! Why is this? Do your job unencumbered, with integrity. Abide by the law with your decisions: "innocent until proven guilty and beyond a reasonable doubt" comes to mind. Have the whole court case on tape, not just what the judge wants. The appeal courts get a biased view otherwise. Have the sentence fit the crime.

Prison system: Treat you inmates with compassion, some are as innocent as you. Inmates good behavior levels should begin when they are incarcerated, not when their case is finalized. Be more lenient with your parole system. You know these people better then most.

 

Yes it's a lot to ask...

Are you still talking about Thailand?

First cull, execute the murderers

Authorities should add a physical fitness qualifier to the commercial drivers licensing process.

Any applicant who can run more than 100 meters, or can run faster than the average Thai policeman should not be licensed.

 

 

So we are talking about a crawl umm

If you read a little more in the topic you will find he wants to open the account in preparation for a visa/extension of stay and is preparing to register his marriage.

Preparation is one thing I agree but it reads that he was applying for a visa based on marriage. Getting things together for it is fine I would not disagree with that, preparation goes a long way to easing the path

In places like Pattaya, Soi Cowboy etc the norm is to get as plastered as you can. Big drinking capacity for small brained people

In other words going with what you have because it is easier

You say you took your Fiance with you but are applying for a visa based on marriage. How does that work as you are not yet, according to your post, actually married?

I'm not Thai and I don't suffer from any variety of Stockholm syndrome. 
So I think it's daft for any foreigner here to put on airs that they're the "good" kind of expats that will always be protected in Thailand, and cheer lead for the Thais to go after so called others.

Leave the xenophobia to the actual citizens here! It's unseemly for foreigners to associate with that.

First they came for ...

etc. / etc. / etc.

 

This is up to the Thais. None of our business. Unless/until your particular flavor of foreigner comes up for negative attention. Then it's time to pack! 

I disagree with you. It is our business as well. The people disregarding the laws has an impact on those of us who abide by the laws irrespective as toy whether we agree with the laws or not. The vast majority of expats out here in Thailand do not want to be tarnished with the same brush as those who ignore the laws and think they can do as they want.

We need to understand we are no matter how long we have been here, guests in the country and should respect the laws accordingly. That is not to say we have to always agree with the laws. Back home we would all abide by the legal requirements so why shouldnt we do the same here?

I've got Kaspersky Internet security, which is automatically going in a protected mood when you're doing online stuff. I personally never liked AVAST and the ugly voice that a virus has been detected, 

 

But I'm fighting with other issues now and can't believe that a restore could mess so many things up. No idea if it's hardware related, I'm still trying to figure out what has happened. 

Crazy idea but have you tried asking Microsoft about the problem? Some times they actually do give good information

Forgot about my Einstein lectures.

It is called refraction

If you take a small area and base your assumption of the world on that then yes it is flat but if you take the entire globe as a single entity of course it isnt. Calculus relies on small sections being able to be considered as flat for the calculations.

The earth is round. A sphere is an obvious shape as the pressure both internal and external is balanced with a sphere

I think I would go for the statement that the Van Gogh museum made.

How long ago were you satisfied with Pattaya? I haven't noticed spiraling crime in over 12 years. I don't feel any less safe than I did when I arrived. If anything, with all the normal tourists here these days taking the emphasis away from the sex industry, it seems safer. I haven't been physically threatened in all that time - not even close.

Up to about 5 years ago I was there.

How does 5 students constitute people flocking to the course?

He's not talking being able to log into his outlook.com or live.com from a browser or from the Mail app which I think you are talking about. 

 

He's talking about being logged onto his MS account through his Microsoft Office 2016 suite (i.e., Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, etc.) which is no longer activated after update to 1803.

Yes I know. I have my Outlook (MS) email account in Office 2016 and it has had no problems

Just a thought, what anti virus is being used? Sounds silly I know but people using Avast with the 1803 update have had issues ranging from access problems to completely wiping out the OS

Did my own electrics to the British Standard (unfortunately had to use Thai spec sockets and switches). But we have the whole system earthed and a fuse board with the earth leakage trips . 1. Trip for each shower. 1 for lights down stairs and another for upstairs have repeated this for sockets up and down stairs with a separate trip for the Kitchen sockets. A double socket in each corner of each room plus extras in the kitchen as its a heavy use area, been living in the house for 10 years without any problems If you have any doubts you can read the whole process on the net . The lot come to less than  B40,000 only problem was I had to DIY as the local Thais didn't understand   the earth safety  wire system!!!!!! in fact the guy who built the house wanned me do his house as his wife was getting shocks off the  floor kitchen when she used the washing machine- -- not earthed?? Water on the floor ????

I did the same and made sure a good earth was also installed. Now sold that house but the buyer will never get a tingle when using the washing machine that is for sure

It is sad that it has to be closed but if it were not for the greed of the boat operators it would not have needed to close. As with most places in the world and especially prevalent in Thailand the attitude is increasingly becoming anything goes for money. Sustainable tourism is something Thailand knows nothing about which is a pity

   You must not have been here in sometime.  There's plenty for families to do and the adult entertainment areas are in only a very small part of greater Pattaya.

Pattaya used to be ok but not now. I has sank to an all time low. Same with Jomtien, that was really nice when I lived there but friends I know from there moved out as crime was rising rapidly.

All these places have in the past been good but the greed for money at any cost will bring any place to the lowest level of humanity and Pattaya has demonstrated this over the years

You seem to confuse your personal moral outlook with Aesthetics. 

Not really. My personal views on Pattaya would not be published here. I lived for a number of years just outside Pattaya but it has continually managed to sink lower with every month that passes. Pattaya as a family destination is only possible in a different dimension. I attracts the scum of the earth so a clean up to try and cover the worst parts of it are only a temporary measure at best
