    All rather pathetic. The police 'team' would be better employed solving crimes such as murder, rape and theft.

    The Thai baht is permanently over-valued. This has lead to several financial disasters, most notably the crash of 1997/8. Those Thais in a position of power/privilege invest heavily overseas, especially in property, for which purpose the higher the value of the baht the better.

    Extraordinary comment. Are you really 'sure he is a pothead idiot' ? He might be, inter-alia, a drunken idiot, an ecstasy idiot, a cocaine idiot, a meth idiot,or just an idiot.
  4. Thingamabob
    Of course it does.

    Both at fault, the motor biker for going too fast, the cyclist for not paying attention.
  6. Thingamabob
    Fair enough, just be aware that the Thai courts apply severe financial penalties if defamation is proven. Not a problem for those if us who are wealthy, but could be devastating for those of us who are less well-off.

    Reassuring to hear the sewerage dept will be involved.

    It would require the govt to negotiate with the oil companies. Prior to Thatcher's ill-advised sale of a controlling interest in BP the latter would have been a natural vehicle for this process. GBE would now be an appropriate entity.

    Going back a bit this sounds like a normal night out at a disco.
  10. Thingamabob
    Correct. Cannabis induces calm, not aggression.

    Replied separately.

    Even if that was correct there still remains a significant amount of oil and gas reserves which have yet to be exploited.

    An entirely false argument by the net zero enthusiasts . I was in the oil and gas business for 40 years. Rest assured the UK govt could easily establish a domestic price for locally sourced fuels, separate from the international market, if it chose to do so.
  14. Thingamabob
    While the inflation rate in the UK heads inexorably upwards the country sits on massive domestic reserves of oil, coal and gas which the govt refuses to exploit.

    I won't argue with that. Clearly the girls/women you know are not the girls/women I know.
  16. Thingamabob
    Not fast I'm afraid.
  17. Thingamabob
    If you speak to these women you will find that most of them do not want to be involved with government in any way whatsoever.

    Good time to get into the medical certificate business.

    The Nazis ie The National Socialist Movement.

    Like most of us, whatever our politics, he no doubt wonders how many people knew about this but kept quiet about it

    Disgraceful. Be ashamed of yourself.

    First visited Thailand in 1962. Business visits during the 1970s. Worked here in the 1980s. Married a Thai lady in 1990. Retired to Thailand in 1993. Still living in Thailand in 2025, and still happily married to my Thai wife. She is now 70 years old, I am 83.

    It always amazes me that any left-leaning foreigners would choose to live in Thailand. Maybe they quietly enjoy the way things work here.

    As in all countries the girls/women in Thailand are not all the same. Some will be confused and worried by being sent money from abroad, while others happily receive regular payments from many different men without giving it a second thought.

    My Dad was also in the British army and served in many countries. Never got to know him very well. He and my mother were divorced shortly after he retired. He was interested in most sports as am I to this day.
