If a women treats you badly and you stay with her, it is your own fault.

Of course. Personally, I think Thai women have the benefit of their Language chatting away to their cohorts in covert mode, unless you wish to learn the Thai Language but by this time they've betrayed you immensely, you the fall guy. Unless, you decide to take some old dog as your Teerak then all is well ..... LOL

Who are the people who say that ?

Most TV posters complain about any and everything and seem to hate living in Thailand 

Are we reading the same Page ????

Hmm.

Lots of questions. 

There are many reasons why an expat might want to or feel "forced" to leave Thailand. 

Expats that earn baht here would be in a different situation.

Short answer -- the baht down to 20 would put fire under my arse.

Personally, I really don't understand why anyone needs/wants to end their days in Thailand. It ain't no big deal. There are many countries with no such dreadful visa restrictions, changes in the law at a drop of the hat and so on. Get your act together TV Victor Meldrew types on Thaivisa are not reality !!!!!

No insurance.

Asking for trouble.

Too many travel without insurance.

Crowd-funding is not the solution.

Lets get real. TV is not REAL Life. We as a social Media don't give a Toss what people on here say or think. We as a caring society care for our fellow citizens unlike these Thai apologists expats who actually think they're Thai !!!!

clearly she is not from thailand; given the guy's borderline bizarre behavior, am betting he is guilty; she, claimant, has big brass ones for suing a sitting president

Are you insinuating she's a transgender ? She might sue you to soon ........

what?

 

they did not beat the Farang down and then kick him in the head while he was down?

 

this maybe the fulfillment of ancient prophecy!

 

Times are a changin' social media has taken its grip now alerting these taxi/bullying mafia types used to seriously maiming or killing farangs at the drop of a hat ain't no longer fair game like the good ole days!!!! ..............

I have been here only 3 years and only one soi dog ever as much as barked at me. I was invading his territory. Dogs do not arbitrarily bite people without provocation. Just my experience

Your so wrong. I've been bitten twice and same for my kids. These roaming killers need to be put down in my personal opinion.

I agree with almost everyone on this. If you can afford the plane ticket for a holiday you should be able to pay a few extra pounds to cover your ass, especially if you are stupid enough to rent a motorcycle.

Why are people allowed to rent a vehicle without relevant insurance ????

^ Right Mr. moral authority. Funny its always the peeps with this attitude that have the lowest moral standards for other way uglier things.

+ btw the thread title is completely wrong & misguiding..

Koh Phayam is just the opposite of a party island. No shitty partying on the beach till noon, no bar girls, no boozed up peoples,  no brawling etc etc

In fact there were no cops at all on the island at that time and yes it was fine. Talked with many locals about that and they all told me they couldn't even remember when the last assault occurred.

It was probably the last and closest thing to what Thailand looked like in the 70s. Oh well...

Live and let live. However, that doesn't apply here given that whingers prefer No Farangs were allowed in THEIR THAILAND. Years ago you could let rip on here in retaliation but now full of suspensions and whatnot. Oh' how I miss the days gone by .........

This is immoral. By all means arrest drug pushers who sell to kids, the vulnerable, and those who steal and rob to pay for their drugs.

 

However arresting people for having drugs in their system is simply not in the public interest (unless those are operating vehicles or dangerous / complex machinery).

 

I can't see the harm in people smoking a bit of weed or taking some tablets at a party at all. 

These cops would be better assigned elsewhere seeking real criminals 

Its scandalous people coming to Thailand thinking one can just stroll around flagrantly masquerading as a tourist then have the audacity to enjoy themself !! They've already put the cosh on those deadly beach smokers etc....... they come here thinking they can do as they wish ........................

What a complete and utter idiot? I mean pretty much everywhere has CCTV these days, so it is obvious you are going to be spotted. Every week we see people getting nicked for exactly the same stupidity. This shows that farang are quite capable of being totally dumb too. I hope in addition to being relieved of the phone, he is now enjoying an extended holiday in the local jail.

Personally, I think idiocy should become a serious criminal offense ...............
