I see he has a Russian wife, must be expanding his dating agency.

Dan is a brave man to make videos on social media with a speech impediment as he has.

I don't understand his motive for the way he denounces Thai women 

Must of got ripped of by one.

There is no way the man is a retired judge.British judges are very well paid and enjoy excellent pensions even after a relatively short time on the bench.Most have been high earning barristers before being appointed judges.More to the point (and I'm aware it's a generalization) they are highly educated - typically public school and Oxbridge - and pillars of their communities.Socially they tend to be upper class or upper middle class with the cultural interests that implies. There is no way these people would be attracted to a Thai resort built on prostitution and populated mainly by lower class expats and their Isaan farm girls, many tattooed and obese and (even those purporting to be different,) speaking in cor blimey accents and pursuing the interests that chavs and pikeys have everywhere.It just ain't going to happen.Former judges can be as sex obsessed and kinky as the best of us, but they are not going to be fishing in Pattaya waters.

 

My guess is that Dan has got a bit mixed up and his guy had some kind of legal auxiliary role.

One of the two possibilities are mixed up wouldn't you say?

The pillar of the class system  is a judge you say. Just depends who the judge is forgive the pun

No fool like an old fool.

Apparently the man in question is a retired judge from the UK.

But of course he being a retired judge could still be a fool as you mentioned.

The British man was out to scam the driver as he climbed into the tuc tuc without any intention of buying anything for saving 50 baht. 

I would speculate the British man was out to make a story at the expense of the tuk tuk driver to make much more than 50 baht'

Threw a couple of "Mozzie Zappers" ...tennis racquet type ...in the checked-in luggage in Udon Thani last week on our way down to Bkk before return to Aus next morning.

Waited for the displayed 5 minutes(plus some)where one needs to see if any checked-in luggage problems come up on the screen adjacent to the check-in counters(Thai Airways).

None came up in the allotted time (plus some).

Called back through security from upstairs about 15 minutes later to open the luggage.

Bloke pointed to the mozzie zappers and verdict seemed to be " no...cannot".

They have a rechargable battery inside about the size of a pea so that might have been the problem with checked-in.

Offered to stick in our carry-on but once again "no way bloke".

No point arguing so just agreed to bin them.

News to me, never had problem before.......maybe he needed a couple at home, who knows.

 

Also seems to be a lot of concern lately about any electronic devices such as laptops or carrying any batteries in carry-on luggage.

As far as I was aware and what is written on nearly all web sites for aviation, batteries up to a certain size "should be" in ones carry-on.

Qantas as well as Thai Airways I might add.

 

Perhaps a knee jerk reaction to the "smoke-up" some mob had a week or so ago on one flight.

I know Banggood no longer permit batteries be sent to Thailand so it could be one of those b/s things about to restrict even more our daily lives once again.

 Batteries can explode and cause a fire .

How can that be considered bull<deleted>?

I have experianced what you are talking about here in Thailand. Staff tend to be nice again when you give the place a miss for a while .

So you say cops go around assaulting tourists for no reason? What are you smoking?

If you considered taking cash from tourists rather than going through the official procedures as an assault then that is happening every day , what are you smoking.

In the video it does actually look like they were trying to make an effort to restrain and get the gun instead of simply beating the cop. I find it hard to believe a Thai cop would pull a gun on tourists but maybe this guy was drunk or insane. Unless there's video evidence we may never know.

If there is evidence of wrong doing by the policeman on video it will never be disclosed. 

Something irregular has occured for the two  foreigners to act the way they did.

We the public do not know the full story and may never will.

The reason for wantng to stop the two foreign motorcyclists was speeding and not keeping to the left .

The police would be able give out a ticket every second of every day if that rule were enforced.

Obviously the two foreigners were being targeted for making hay.

What's wrong with you Farangs? 

 

Too lazy to bone a Thai citizen and buy your Thai real estate 💯% legally in their name? 😳

Not illegal in my opinion but of course high risk 

Many foreigners use that way you described and have no problems.

oh deary me, not the shareholder house scam. 

 

Thais taking their land back 1 Farang mug at the time.

 

 

 

If the company is trading then the foreigner controlled company is legal to own land.

If the company is just set up for owning the land then that is illegal from my understanding of the law.

How many times have you sued for the bad revues?  

We have had some reviews removed.

Never considered suing. 

I am afraid that there are people that take joy in making trouble for others and reviews are a perfect tool for them.

2 minutes ago, Skipalongcassidy said:

Ridiculous... the percentage of reviews that are not the exact opinion of your customers is minuscule... I doubt very much that the reviews are made up out of thin air.

Often they are just thin air for good or bad reviews.

Rediculous to think they are not.

Google maps would be better off without reviews in my opinion.

Most people that want to write bad about a business are not worth taking notice of.

WE have received bad reviews by people that have never used our business. Any attempt to have the reviews removed has been futile.

The EC now wants to insult 14 million people.

Would they make the same drama when for example a local thai pickup driver kills 3 tourists on a zebra crossing? 😁

No drama for ordinary Thais either.

There was recently much drama when a doctor was unfortunatly run over and killed at a pedestrian crossing.

Switzerland!  Gosh they're brave.

 

Mmmm, and wonder whether Oz will be reciprocating. (I guess Yes - China doesn't give away anything for free.)

Australia does not give anything away even if you have paid for it. 

Just to help the confused , i am refering to the portability rules on pension points earned in Australia.
