Around the world, where islam goes, trouble follows.

so true.

4 years in Thailand, most of the time spent in pattaya, the last 5 month i chiang mai.

problems once and that was on soi lengkee where a bristish/indian guy put all his check bills in my cup...

Avarage salary pr month in uk after tax (thief) is 1800pound pr month, but what is amazing those nanny state lick david socialist eu cameron.

In thailand you can easyli live on halft that amount.

Regards norwegian in norway with dobbel average salary, what a third country uk is ( allah hu akbhar) r.i.p uk.. Searching for immigrants calais want go uk, the money growing on treer i guess???

Few months back, stayed home because of security reasons.

Last month, worried about rain.

Last week, high season and car crashes scared me

Now I must stay home because of the heat?????

on a serious note....i am convinced the two real killers in Thailand is heat and pollution. third might be aids, not sure.

if old....avoid the heat and save your life.

if really young.....tell your parents you are not safe

when the pollution AND heat comes.....the cost savings of moving to Thailand will become negative...

complain complain complain .. what People should stay away from that kind of negative people who you, otherwise there is great risk of being infected by the illness known as negativity.

How about health insurance, especially since you have a motorcycle?

Mac

While some may find it hard to believe, he probably has a better lifestyle than 50% of the people in the world. Just look at large parts of Africa, the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, etc. He has air con, a roof over his head, running water, a toilet and shower, local transport, access to mass transport, etc. I could stay there for a few months. I don't need much when I holiday. I am quite content with just being able to have a decent place to sleep at night. Spend the rest of my money on other things.

Now for the western standards. Medical insurance? Auto/motorbike insurance? Saving for Retirement? Entertainment budget? Income Taxes (does he make any money)? How long you going to live this way?

idont have Insurance and i save Money every month.. but now im not 50+++

if i get sick i will go back to my home country and get treatment there. or if i have a accident in Thailand i wil pay for it....

expats and their talk all the time about Health insurane, should belive they are waiting for something bad will happen..haahahh

Insurance or not...that's a personal Choice. the paronoia came With the age...

cheap visa runs? (transportation,country,food and hotels) stay more then 1 night? i'm in Thailand

which country do you recommend?

There is a Thai word for foreigner, but you will rarely hear a Thai use it. (Chao Tang Chat).

This cleanup should be done by the world famous thai bashers,shut your mouth and go out and do the job.

Saudi Arabia has no drug problems because they kill the dealers. It works well as a deterrent. Didn't that use to be the case in Thailand, too?

last death setence in thailand it's 6 years ago if i dont remember wrong....

Kingdom of Thailand (Thailand)

-beer 30.000month/ 1000 bath a day

i would also add that on the list

They must be saving money at city hall by not actually hiring real engineers.

Hummm...I wonder where that money is going?

need an engineer for that work ? hahahah

If Thailand wasn't here, then the rains couldn't have damaged the promenade !

and do not forget all those who complain about how it is in thailand, they could not complained either, they would be most likely to complained in another country.

good boys

So sad.

Running from the scene is so Thai, but I don't understand. Does it belong to

the culture?

you are a quality person, i guess everybody in your home country never do anything wrong, but in thailand everybody do wrong?

there are good and bad pepole in every country, stop thai bashing.

Not only the General, I'm impressed also with the Phuket police.

They are doing an excellent job, after reading all the reports on TVF.

But also looking at their beer bellies on the photograph, I think they are enjoying their lives also.

Good Luck to them.....they deserve it...........as long as they carry on with the present performance.

and everything is good back in greece?

a country that wouldnt surive withoutthe commmunstic soviet union (eu) but dont worry, spain and portugal have the same problem.

The Governor concluded by saying, “I have my own goals; there will be no deaths, no accidents on any Phuket hill, no running of red lights, and no selfie taking while driving.” - A goal should be something that can actually be measured and attained. Until they deal with the root cause of automobile deaths, they will continue to have an extremely high death rate. Booze, (seat) belts, distracted driving and intersection enforcement would reduce these deaths greatly.

“Motorcyclcles can be checked free of charge too and distilled water, engine oil and light bulbs will be replaced for free.” - And free oil changes for motorcycles?

i mean if i want to use seatbelt it's up to me, if i have a accident i will only hurt my self, not my neighboor, same with helmet, only my self will get hurt, it the prinscipe off personal resoponsibilty, my body my choice, but offcourse it is smart to use seatbelt and helmet.

who the <removed> want to live in a nannystate where the goverment want control your body ?

Why dont people read the article before they comment? It was NOT from tourist it was from a beach resort.

"all items belong to Banyan Tree Resort"

most off the pepole on TV like bashing thailand, but they steel come here for holiday/live here...

some pepole are ony negative, they only seewhat they want to see.. amazing expats in this country....

break the rules

russians,chineses and the brits....

what can i say, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i wish more irish and scottish welcome here

So they are trying to close for a week in the hope that they can avoid enforced closure for a month. And that is responsible.

Jesus, some folk on here!

The owner didn't assault anyone, he's / she's showed some initiative by voluntarily closing the business (something I don't recall hearing in Pattaya before), and organising staff training.

Seems he / she can't do right for wrong by some TV members!

Whether the reasons are genuine for voluntarily closing, or as you sceptically imply to try to reduce a lengthier forced closure, I don't know, but what would you have suggested the owner do more responsibly?

oh yeah :(/

I think the Thai people do not understand the meaning of being drunk. At first they come to gogo bar, drink and drink and make money on the poor guy then when he gets drunk and is in a situation that he doesn't know what he is doing or saying get beaten up. It is really strange.

The fault is the owner of the business. They should train their security guard that they are not suppose to beat up the guest because they are drunk. Just like Europe they can hold his hand in a way that he can not do anything and then take him out. Or at the most call for tourist police or police.

Such entertainment places should be closed down for at least 6 months to give a message to the rest.

just like europe????

because som nannystate in europe training there staff that dosen't mean all european countries do, been to spain,portugal,bulgaria or grecce? much violence from the secuirty staff,

but there is allways a reason why the staff will do this...
