Monks are compassionate? this countries take on Buddhism and the wealth it can bring goes in complete contrast to true Buddhism. Monks have killed other monks, used drugs, lain with women and many have been defrocked. It is a very small percentage that are righteous.

So to you, showing the daily crimes, murders and death scenes where motorbikes and pedestrians get run over is appropriate. In no way shape or form is it appropriate as all it tends to do is deaden ones senses and then it becomes fascinating. Another case just recently of a young man who cut up and dismembered his GF and spread her around because he saw it described on TV says it all. Thai's learn to do these horrid things and become enthralled in them. Watch a Lakorn if you do not believe me, they always seem to blame a demon or body possession for why things happen, not there fault they say.

Not sure where you saw the information you have, but it is misinformation.

So the proverbial Bring out your dead scenario and gawkers. Still seems to fascinate the masses here, and they still show the scenes and arrests on the news here as well.

Yes, I bought my now ex-BIL a RTP Police LtCol, his gun for him just before the RTP purchased all of the guns they then sold to the officers in 2018

In the US they would be sued like those who leaked the Kobe Bryant crash scene photos, but not here in Thailand. Why is there such a morbid fascination with death in this country.

So he was a known drug user who was still allowed to work and not fired in 2019.....sad. Really tells you how things work here. My condolences to the families of the little ones and those who list parents and family as well.

Same thing I was told when I set the appointment on Tuesday and then confirmed it by a phone call yesterday. Appointment is for this afternoon after lunch.

Oh it has made the MSM news.....CNN, CBS, and many other US stations have picked it up. My friends who know I used to live up there in the neighboring Area have reached out to ensure that none of my ex's family were impacted.

The program still shows I am pre-approved and I can not obtain the certificate from using the 3 dots to the far right. I was told I would be given the certificate at my appointment as it is needed at some point in the process, not sure where but maybe when I head to the Immigration side to get the passport entry stamped for the time period of 1 year. Like I said I will fill folks in later today. I can't believe that I will be the first one doing this here at the BOI One Stop Center, and wonder how there processing went.

Just a glitch in the system. I will be headed out after lunch for my Visa sealing into my passport and will post more this evening.

The serenity from visiting where the youtubers you watch have gone....got it.

Wow, you truly do like to cast aspersions and insinuate the expats are nothing more than egg and beer stained tank top wearers don't you. You do realize many of us have families and travel around with them, but then your just looking for white looking people who are not speaking Thai. If you lived here as you said you did you would understand this as you also said you were married to a Thai. Hard to understand your constant bashing on all and sundry of topics and OPS, you really sound disappointed in your visit so far, seems you need some friends.

He was spending money like they wanted, just was not quality purchases, Lao Kao is nasty and cheap, so he was a cheap drunk charlie.

You are a funny man. Having been born here in Thailand and then spending parts of over 40 years here I think I have you beat. Having lived here permanently now for many more years and being retired allows me to travel very frequently around the country side. Having a House south of Hua Hin and a condo in Bangkok allows for great bases to start out of. Lets add in Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos as well while were at it.

You really think you have seen more of Thailand than myself, thats a rich one.

No it is called camping in style like going on Safari. You don't get out much do you. Cheap is not always better Sir.

Glamping does cost more than 500 Thb https://www.glamping.com/destination/asia/surat-thani/ko-samui/khwan-beach-resort/

Everything a quality fan room has without the aircon. https://www.fazwaz.com/property-for-rent/thailand/chon-buri/pattaya?furniture=fully-furnished&monthly_price=null,300

Just need a microwave and a 7-11 nearby and all will be good for the OP.

We may have a slow moving white bronco chase the day they move in to arrest him, much like the OJ Simpson pursuit.

100% true, and this was last year in which he was terminated. He was scheduled for court tomorrow. Deaths are at 36 as of now and many more injured. Not only at the school, but on the road going there as well as going to his house.

Might check with one of the local translation offices here near the Embassy on Withayu Rd.
