Thais have a serious gambling problem. Opening casinos will help nothing.

You have rather missed the point. Many Thais gamble underground all the time. Worth giving regulation a shot in my opinion.

The difference between Australia and Austria is a difficult one for most Thais to identify.

What a farce ! A bribe for votes aimed at the huddled masses without any consideration as to how and when it will be implemented. 

I have already lost two debit cards in this way however I have recently found an ATM near to Villa Market, Ratchayotin, Bangkok which has a taped voice reminding users to take their card at the completion of each transaction.

Revoking bail would be a more appropriate response.

Calm down old chap, you appear over-excited by this topic. I would only add, as a Brit, that I would try to avoid the US justice system like I would try to avoid the plague. Coincidentally I would also add that, in spite of all the efforts to gag Trump, my bookmaker is offering odds on for a Trump win on November 5. 

Cheerio.

The Chinese guy didn't lose his Thai girlfriend. He just lost his turn.

Nice one !

Decreasing amounts of fibre in our diet.

Think about the Universe, the Multiverse, and beyond. How, why and where were these entities created ? Is some form of God involved ? We will never know. What we do know is that life on our little planet is complex and cruel for many species, and does not offer much to be thankful for.

Very few, if any, upper class Thai women will associate with farang in Thailand. Outside Thailand, however, they are much more  friendly.

Big tits are for Mummys' boys.

Never met him. I used to enjoy his Nite Owl column and found it a useful guide as to where and what was going on in Bangkok's nightlife, which was great fun in those days.

So you really believe that it is OK to beat recruits black and blue?

Unbelievable.

In my day we took a lot of stick, day and night. Now it is called abuse, but we never thought of it as such. Just had to toughen up and get through it. 

I've never been asked for this at CW, only an updated bank book and bank confirmation letter, dated one day before I apply for my annual retirement extension.

Unattributed social media report citing 'newly released data'. Hmmm...

He says he will return to Thailand on 1 April after just 5 days in the UK. Not much of a vacation.

Disgraceful act by the mother, whatever the circumstances. 

Combination of circumstances. Bad behaviour by the Russian on a bad day for her, annoying shoes off requirement in what is clearly a shop rather than a private house, over-reaction by the 'victim' to what was more of a rude gesture than a kick. 

Utterly pathetic. Go by car, find another supermarket, or give them some snacks and you will always get a friendly reception.
