    She is claiming she dont want a husband that is rich but rather a husband that will love her and be faithful to her.

    Come for 2 weeks holiday, stay in Bangkok (or anywhere far from her family), enjoy the sex, give her some money when you go home.

    Anything else is a foolish fantasy.

    So we can say Thais are situationally friendly. There is nothing unique or particularly interesting about this Thai. Most all of them can be easily provoked to explosive violence - and, that is true across all socioeconomic and education levels.

     

    So the game is not to provoke them, or anyone else for that matter.

    When did it become OK to provoke other people in the western world?

    Max you should have quizzed him told him no to the gifts as you want to teach the boy not to accept gifts from strangers and made him delete the photos or you would call the police. 

    As far as I know there are no laws in any country to prevent a person taking photos in a public place (excluding Korea).

    But refusing the gifts might have been a good idea.

    but if you honestly believe that you need to look at yourself and the thais you are hanging out with. i have a great many thai friends; well educated - many educated abroad, professional, and extremely friendly and generous people.

    But I agree with the lawless bit.

    None of your posh mates would think twice bribing a policeman or government official to get something they wanted.

    The problem here is that the Police are involved in corruption, extortion, drugs and other criminal activities, so to expect them to be responsible for ones safety or to uphold the law is a nonsense, whereas in other countries there is the rare "bad cop".............that's the difference.

    I beg to differ, nearly all cops are 'bad cops' given the chance.

    Their only check, is fear of losing their job.

    I repeat there is NO safe anywhere. Please humor us and tell us the murder free countries?
    Take your time now it's not a trick question

    There may be no danger free countries, but there was little chance of being shot (by anyone) in my small hometown in Cornwall. London was more fun, but also more risk.

    You just need to compare the 'fun Vs risk' of anywhere, and I decided to risk the danger of early death for the availability of cheap wimmin. 

    As did the French guy, the girl with him in the bar CCTV looked worth the risk.

     

    I suspect the French guy (victim blaming) played a part in his own demise, by acting in a possessive western (Muslim?) way with the girl. Thais are usually easily placated when there is a dispute over a woman, buy them a drink or two, stop handling the women, and they are your new best friend, and will probably give you the girl. Start a 'she's mine, hands off' confrontation, and you're in trouble.

     Chiangmai Ram Dental. Prices very reasonable. Root canals, crowns, extractions, teeth repair, etc.

     

    They accidentally drilled through the side of one of my teeth while doing a filling.

    Thought I couldn't understand what they were saying in Thai, I never went back, had the job finished elsewhere.

    I was recently at Dental World, 1 filling and a cleaning. 2000 for the filling, she said it was a big one, the filling, and 900 for the cleaning.

     

    Cheaper than back in the west but still seems a bit pricey for CM.

    Cleaning is usually 600bht, and I had half a tooth rebuilt for 800bht.

    Siam Dental Hospital at the Superhighway end of Chang Puak road (just round the corner).

    It also sources many of it's junk from questionable sources in China. That's hit #2. 

    Just bought a 20k LG TV from Lazada, tracking was a bit iffy, but apart from that good price and it works.

    Never been sold any fake goods, had a couple of items arrive broken, but was given refunds on them.

     

    Can't say I've got any complaints, prices are good, delivery is fast.

    I've also had the Kerry, 'we tried to deliver and you were out', when I was most surely in and waiting.

    Did you read the article? The 60K GBP includes the transport back to the UK, with medical assistance. I am sure she would not be able to simply buy an economy seat, she would possibly need a team of medical staff with her, her parents etc- that would not be cheap.

    Pal of mine recently medically repatriated from Greece to the UK, no insurance, cost him 7,000 pounds.

    There was a time back during the coup when there were a hard core, of what I still believe were shills, who basically attacked anything, and anyone they could conceive of as being anti junta. They seem to have vanished for the most part, probably because they were shills!
     
    The apologists still reside on mass, reacting with vitriol to anything that they perceive to be anti Thai.
    I actually feel sorry for them, since I personally think they are hiding rather deeper issues...a bit like the closet Gay who goes Gay Bashing!
     
    But what I lament however is the apparent loss of the more middle of the road posters. The long stayers who recognized Thailand for what it is, still liked living in Thailand though, who could actually have fairly reasoned comment, based on their having lived in Thailand a long time.
     
    I fear they are the ones who have either exited Thailand and never, for whatever reason, want to comment again, or have found another, perhaps more welcoming forum to frequent.
     
    For transparency, I did tire of they place, and went home, with my Thai wife. Now I enjoy my vacations at our house in Thailand, but I still retain an interest in the place and the fate of the people, through its various travails

    Like closet gays? What the.... F.... Are you talking about?

    I think he means the Thai apologists are in reality closet Thais .......
