Mutton dressed as lamb. At nearly 40 she should call it a day.

Yeah, like you wouldn't eh?

What a sad, sad thread. Asean now should be renamed Sexpats dot com after this one

So many "upstanding citizen members" of this forum making flippant comments about this, imagine it was YOUR wife or daughter being spied on you SPOS

The story is about an incident which occurred in Thailand ....  nothing to do with the west. 

Try to keep up .....   

NS Sherlock, my point is your statement "vile Thai people ...  they really are the worst kind."  reflects your disdain for Thai people.

Why single out Thais, a lot of this goes on in the"perfect" west you are from, but hey ignore that and attack Thailand and Thais

ASEAN NOW suggests that the buyer was trying to get something on the cheap.

What a disgusting comment from Asean now, if the victim had been a "farang" forum member you wouldn't be so smug and mocking.

Now Tuesday and still no newsletter?

RIP to those killed, and condolences to families.

For those berating/ mocking/ belittling_  Thailand_

The usual mockers are out and about.
Check the prices paid for stud bulls, dogs etc. in places like Oz and the US.
Even for a small vial/straw of sperm from some of them is obscenely expensive.

An appropriate event for the 4th of July. Mass shootings have become as American as apple pie.

Apple pie is actually a British invention ????

Only worth 90k? Hardly worth the effort.....

Could I please have your address and could you also leave out 90K for me to nick as obviously it won't be worth the effort to you to report. (90 x Crisp 1000 baht bills is fine)

Well done! K1 is one of the toughest competitions out there.

Thai maintenance of vehicles is shocking

What a stupid, as usual anti Thai comment.
As an Aussie, I can testify to "blowouts" not through lack of maintenance etc. but through climate and junk on the road and road conditions.

Few nails and a coat of paint and it will be fine

Would you be so flippant if it was your home?

RIP to the deceased
I'm looking at the photo and noticed a lot of AN sleuths have assumed he was speeding.
The photo was from a news report earlier to which someone posted a video of the actual crash (CCTV). Excessive speed wasn't to blame and there was no other vehicle involve or in fact NEAR the accident so that rule out the Thai bashers from blaming the roads or a conspiracy of other road users.
It actually looks like he may have fallen asleep

This is a good initiative despite the bemoaning of some which will undoubtedly start on here.
As already pointed out, it's not actually "fostering".
It is rather "sponsoring" the upkeep and care of animals being rehabilitated or used for breeding. Similar projects in many countries around the world with good success.

Is your statement even relevant as this apparently happened in Bang Saen?

Ummmm, yes, it is actually. The response was about the issue of lifejackets. As this was on a commercial fishing boat, I thought that by explaining the difficulty of working on a commercial boat whilst wearing one may explain the reason. It's actually irrelevant as to the sea/ocean (location) Bang Saen, Southern Ocean or otherwise

The comments in this thread, almost promoting the cruelty to animals has proved once again what a sad sorry bunch of people inhabit Asean Now, whilst proclaiming they are nice people just trying to get on in life.
How very tragic

Life jackets an optional extra then?

Having worked on commercial fishing boats for many years (lobster, tuna long liners) in some of the roughest seas (Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean), I can tell you they are a hindrance to your daily work and quite impractical / unworkable when working with heavy gear. If a freak wave capsized the boat, it's a tragic accident that sometimes happens.
Perhaps walk a mile in someone's shoes or research a topic before saying something which ends up showing your ignorance.
R.I.P to the deceased.

R.I.P. Khun Sorapong.
My wife, son and I met him at Wat Luang Phor Toh, in Sikhio, Nakhon Ratchasima which he founded and funded.
He was very humble and spent quite a few minutes chatting to all 3 of us and posed for some pictures.
The temple and grounds are incredible. I hope someone continues his legacy there.
