  1. The Canadian allowed himself to be guided by streewalkers/freelancers to a makeshift bar in the wee small hours. In so doing he failed to follow his own advice on the need to exercise caution at all times.
  2. Over the years I have known many foreigners who are happily married to former Thai bar girls, and others for whom things have not worked out so well. My advice, for what it is worth, is to take plenty of time to really get to know the intended partner. In other words, much the same advice as would apply to any relationship, anywhere.
  3. Been attempted before, several times. Almost impossible to convey the atmosphere and complexities of an involvement in Thailand's nightlife in a book. Movies do rather better.
  4. I had similar damage to a BMW 635 CSi many years ago. As with most dealers the local BMW agent did not undertake body repairs but offered to take the car to an outside contractor. I declined and went to a local (Ratchayothin, Bangkok) repair specialist known to my wife. He did an excellent job, and was happy to have me monitoring progress as the work went on.
  5. Regrettably there are still people all over the world who support Hitler and they know the full story, unlike most Thais.
  6. I suspect Dr. Taweesilp will regret allowing himself to be pushed into becoming involved.
  7. A very sad case. I hope the monitor lizard is ok. Not it's fault.
  8. Smoked only one joint in my 83 year old life, in the UK. Pleasant, but not enough to make me want more.
  9. For all the time and effort involved in trying to manually alter the light to green he might just as well have waited for it to change automatically.
  10. Possibly, also those who don't use but agree with me.
  11. Arrested based on allegations by whom I wonder. Could possibly be a set-up instigated by a former partner. Be interesting to see how this develops.
  12. I agree. It was yours truly who was implying.
  13. Cannabis is way less harmful than meth, cocaine, alcohol or cigarettes. Your ignorance is extraordinary.
  14. I think you may be talking about the wrong Georgia.
  15. You were lucky. It's not clever to try to be a smart ass with immigration authorities. They can really mess you up if they choose to.
  16. While the cross-channel illegal immigration numbers are small compared to the legal numbers they present a security risk given that they are mostly young men with no proven identity.
  17. Not a good idea. Just tell your friend to contact Lazada. Is this really an issue if any importance or significance ?
  18. Prostitution at a massage parlour in Thailand ? Must be some mistake.
  19. For Thailand's well-being and international standing Thaksin and family should be permanently exiled with no possibility of a return. Sadly money talks, and such an outcome is unlikely.
  20. As with so much legislation in Thailand the revised law is vague, allowing school management some flexibility on the hairstyle issue. Nevertheless the behaviour of the teachers at the school in Rayong is unforgivable and a disgrace.
