More self entitled tourists. Running away is usually an admission of guilt. 30 days in the slammer might make an impression on these two spectaculaly weak and troublesome women. 

30 days !?!? are you mad ? A couple of hours would suffice, just to give them the feeling !!!

There's a pretty simple solution to the overpricing: as soon as they ask me how much I want to pay I walk away and go to the next guy until I find one who either wants to use the meter or give me a fair price in fhe case of motorbike taxis and tuk tuks. 

Hm,..You should tell that driver a fair price you want to pay. He is only trying to know if you are a tourist that don't know anything and would be easy to overcharge !!

Right on. Years ago when I was living down South some expats did this for the local orphanage, then after they handed the large sum of money raised to the boss, the expats found out they had bought a new fridge and a TV for the staff lunch room, plus other stuff, and very little, if anything went to the orphans. So after that they decided never to hand over cash, but buy things like packets of baby formulae and diaper's and food for the kids to use. But then it was later found out some of the orphanage staff were selling these products off to the local market.  

Hm,...I know of a Thai club (mainly Farang men with there Thai wives) in a European country that raised 4000 Euro for a school somewhere in Isaan,...a married couple from the Organizers went to Thailand on Holiday and brought the money with them,... but only gave 3000 Euros to the school and kept 1000 for themselves as so called expenses !?!?!? ... there are crooks everywhere and in every community !!!

Interpol will contact RTP and in five year's time they'll start looking.  Meanwhile the Red Bull brat will be at this weekend's F1 meeting.

Don't be surprised if they catch that Irish guy this week !!! The RTP is really good in catching farang criminals ! they can difficultly blend in with the locals !!

He needed to get back to his house to start stuffing more of those brown envelopes! Probably not that easy to do in the hospital with all the staff around!

Nobody could see him, and the staff was carefully selected !

Great news! My wife and her entire village are celebrating. Everywhere are red flags and flags with the image of Mr. Thaksin. Everyone is wearing red today to express their happiness.

Here in Issan people know when it's time for a party. 🙂

My wife is praying for Mr. Thaksin to replace the current PM asap and give back more to the lovely Issan folk.

☺️

Hm,...Issan people are known to be the poorest in Thailand,...and the least educated as well.

i have been to Shawn Menzes, Billie Eilish concerts with my kids. Majority were Thais. New generation thais have a huge western music following. your initial statement is not quite correct on why Taylor Swift did not come to Thailand or some other countries here in SEA. There are reasons why Swift and some other do not come to certain countries in SEA and its very politically linked. Junta, Human rights etc etc etc etc etc. 

 

that would be my last say on the topic.... 

Hm,...I would think that work permits and visa problems or the crews and musicians is to much trouble....and the usually rip offs,...are a downer as well. All crews and musicians that have been ripped off, pas on the info to other crews and musicians. at home.

No, I cannot see that. The rest that you wrote was virtually unintelligible, so I didn't bother to include it in your quote.

 

Can you not see the real problem in Thailand? There have been 22 coup attempts in Thailand since 1933, 13 of which were successful. What's the point of elections and having PMs if they are so easily removed? They serve at the pleasure of the military.

 

A coup is way above the level of a crime. A coup removes the law and then changes it through the writing of a new constitution. A coup removes freedom from the people. In comparison to coup leaders, Thaksin is a petty criminal, yet forum members obsess over him.

Hm,...A petty criminal with more than 2500 innocent deaths on his record !?!?.....

Oh the farcical nonsense and dribble is endless. A quick glance at the rubbish and plastic basically anywhere and everywhere in Thailand reveals that nobody really gives a toss about the environment. Never have, never will 😁

On the contrary, many people care about the environment !!! but it's the polluters that attract all the attention !!

he may well have had adequate funds at one time immigration would come to a standstill if they asked everyone to prove cash
who carries cash anyway
on a flight into cm one time i got pulled aside
show money
i showed a few hundred dollars 
plus 2+k of travelers cheques
this not money the 4ft io said
i corrected him better than money if lost get it back
it was lost on him it was a scam marched to atm take 20k baht out
i pointed to the balance more than enough mate
take money take money
i eventually seceded to their demands
now show return ticket there was the scam
unfortunately for him and his chums i had a ticket to loas 
they were so disappointed............

made me fan out the cash holding it up whilst they stood proudly by my side for a photo as if they were gifting it to me like i had won a prize.

as for this poor guy his fate is sealed hes white begging in a foreign land where he sticks out like a sore thumb
i find far to many are hurtfully judgmental here 
its hardly surprising thais look upon some of us old geezers like we are a dog turd
a certain sense of entitlement because you have succeeded in some way in life
im glad im not young the world is not a good place at this time
and the thought of being drafted to go to a front line would not be my ideal choice

he is obviously alone without two cents to rub together
no chance of repatriation 

maybe once he dies someone will open a go fund me page 

the world is upside down
you dont have to give him cash or your vitriol

I am happy people like you still exist,.....the world is not completely gone mad.

Funny how some on here automatically assume he has fallen on hard times and actually needs a plane ticket. Most of these types are scam artists praying on the genorisity of other people (mostly Thais) to fund their 'stay' in Thailand. Personally I find 'begpackers' despicable and give foreigners here a bad name. 

Hm,...You don't know his story,.. but you are already condemning him !?!?
