Upset

I really cannot understand thai media, thais and now even foreigners using the tern HiSos.....these so called HiSos are actaully dogs who se families mostly made the monies in the past thru illicit means, corruption etc. Stop patronising these dogs by calling them hisos pleeze. There are no Hisos in thailand only rich crooks.

Ah...Pattaya and Phuket......always stay away from these cesspits and also people who come from there or stay there.

First with regards to the video on the woman being harassed on the beach, the cambodian scum that was caught should have been brutally beaten up to confess who his thai employers are and these scum should have been caught and also thrashed. (I am sure some high ranking govt official or thai hiso or police or army guy must on the top of this operations.)

Second with regards to the video of the jet ski scam, the police officer involved should have been sacked and some foreigners should get together to do something about the thai garbage that were featured in the jet ski video...anything to end these low lifes.

Lastly, please dessiminate these videos to all ur friends and media in your home countries....the more the better.

Also, for god sake stupid cows, stop visiting areas like phuket or pattaya, the only way to teach these thai scum bags is to hurt them in their purses...stop patronising these places. As far as the foreign sumbags who have businesses in these places, let them be...some of them are married into these lower life forms families and cannot do anything about it except to still invite their fellow country man to be fleeced there.

Hmm! Interesting...wonder what the rates for expats in Thailand and also visiting tourists and also visitors to TV site (seeing what the members pose....lol!)

I think to each his own....everybody has a right to choose who he wants to smile to, be friends with or just ignore. I find it bizarre that some whites think that its a must for all whites to greet each other and to talk to each other let alone befriend them .

In the condo that I stay in Bangkok, I do not want to know anyone be it thais or farangs or other foreigners. I just want to go home to the unit I bought with my hard earned moneyand relax and do what I wanna do. I have my own circle of friends here in Bangkok and thats enough. Upcountry, In the mooban that I I bough a few plots and two houses, thank god there are no farangs and I do not even want to know my thai neighbours...do not want people coming over to borrow sugar or worsts still money or beer (lol!) and do not want to associate with people I have no clue of their backgrounds ie run away criminals, dsyfunctional individuals, jealous creeps etc.I have a great security system and a good deal with the local coppers to keep an eye on the place and also in case of any emergencies , we have our own people to rely upon.

Having said all that, I merely ignore my neighbours be it thais or foreigners...they can think wahtever of me...I do not care...I am not depending on them for my monies or food!

Having said all that, most expats here in thailand usually get into trouble ie being cheated, etc etc because of other foreigners!

ThaiVisa....................HURRAH

Dear darrendsd....some skeletons in your closet? why so touchy when it comes to reporting people doing illegal things?

My god the things that hospitals and clinics would do just to get more patients in!

To thing of all the things that I was missing out when I was a teen eons agao.

Can the thai immigration authorities please start doing random passport checks in areas like Huay Kwang, Ratchada, Thonglor, Chinatown etc as there are lots of Chinese overstayers who are living and working in Thailand and even Singaporean Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, Fillipinos, Koreans and even Japanese overstayers these days I have been told. Some blend in by speaking thai and acting thai. In areas like Huay Kwang and Ratchada like the Ideo Huaykwang Condo for instant, I have seen chinese renting 31 sqm condos with 4 to 6 people staying in them. The agents like Bangkok Residence and the condo management do not comply with Thai laws which make it mandatory to report to immigartion and the local police any foreigners who are staying in the building. I have seen many young Chinese operating businesses here in Thailand even at the Jatujak Market (I did not know that there were work permits that allow foreigners to sell at the weekend market or even to work in certain salad bars at Paragon (one run by the family of a so called patriotic Indian family employs only fillipinos serving staff...again did not know that workpermits were allowed for such professions).The thai immigration should start doing random checks in all condo buildings in Bangkok not only the low class condos but aklso the middle and upper end ones.

Please its not fair for farangs who abide by thai and immigrations laws and pay local taxes duly to see other foreigners doing things illegally and the authorities not catching them.

Oh Dear...just let it be instead what expats and foreigners should do is to treat thais the same way when they are in another country or better still if you provide special services in thaland etc...have another rate for thais....eg two stories:

a) A Friend who runs a private up market clinic in Sukhumvit specialising in Oncology and Auto immune diseases has a fix rate for foreigners and expats but for Thais he charges double and for Thai Bankers, Politicians and Government Servanst , he charges anything between 3 to 10 times mark ups. They can always go elsewhere but he has a great track record for treating various forms of cancer.

Someone told me this story....an farang who ran a bunggee jumping service in Phuket was so upset by various bureaucratic processes that he had two rates ie for foreigners a fixed rate but for thais, half the rate or 50% doscount but no safety ropes! Lol!

OMG....compared to some of the stupid graduates (both local and foreign, with and without experience) that I have employed as business development execs in my various companies......this old woman would have been a gem......kidding of course! But really.....its amasing some of these conmen (or conwomen) have in terms of skills of persuasion and also a thick skin. Reminds me of a farang lady I know....who has no PR or Marketing experience, let alone that the local thai media hates here....who goes around masquareding as a experienced PR Practioner with her own company website....yet ends up conning all her clients and unable to give them any decent media coverages though she tries to market herself as a socialite. She is often in the company of a few other farang conmen including another who runs a printing and graphic cum marketing entity....often found here on TV.

Thailand not America is the land of dreams, I came to Thailand 19 years ago when I was 31 with only about a 120,000 Baht to my name and today with my Thai Bf who is 32 years old (been together for about 15 years) we have managed to build a healthy portfolio of real estate assets worth over 140 million baht, a big bank balance and three successful businesses that generate more than 400,000 baht in net profits plus getting a permanance residence status. (Mind you I only had a basic University degree.) All these I started with basic trading in consumer products that I imported in.

I think that its the responsibility of every foreigner in thailand to send and disseminate news back home to all your friends and relations to boycott thai pineapple products, and seafood and also to send protests notes to your government and to retailers in your communities that stock these products or sell them. Same goes to the end user restaurants. These arrogant thai industrialists need to be taught lessons.

AP is very good in terms of construction and the finishings fo all its projects be it condos, townhouses and houses but they stink in the after sales services as they never managed all their projects properly and most of the time later outsource it to stupid property managemnet companies like HAR______ etc.

Staying here in Thailand for the last 22 years, I always try to keep a low profile and keep only to myself and my immediate thai family and a few good friends. Buts its so irritating that there is often, just because you seem to be doing ok, many people coming to ask for loans, be it small or big amounts. I alwasy politely refuse and keep away from these people. I am a self made guy and have never borrowed from anyone or any banks and even in my worst situations, I have never asked for help (except from God) and I simply hate people who disturb other people with request for help or loans.

First, the teacher should be jailed and kicked out from the teaching profession as it should not have any contact with children. Then, if given an opportunity, the same teacher should be caned by a few decent and concerend parents in public.

Any parents who support canning to discipline their kids are not fit to be parents in the first place and must be mis fits themselves.

Simply ban all jet sking activities....will be good for all including innocent swimmers etc.

This is really disturbing and upsetting! The seniors of that Pathumthani University should have their identities along with that of their immediate families listed in the media and they should be kicked out from the University and never accepted at any Universities or Jobs and should be jailed for a very long time. Society should not tolerate such scum and also their famies should be ostracised!

My condolences to the family of the victim....must have been a bright kid to have been able to enter the Uni at 16 years and what a waste of such a bright life.

I repeat, the seniors involved and their parents should be made to pay. Must have been bad upbringing from loser parents that resulted in these trash!
