  1. Paisan obviously panicked, thinking that he was going to be questioned as to how he amassed a fortune of 21 million baht on the modest salary of a government employee.
  2. Most likely a heart attack. Post portem should reveal whether or not drug induced. RIP.
  3. Disgusting, pathetic behaviour by the Russian. Hard to believe these people are the descendants of those who fought so bravely to resist the Nazi invasion.
  4. The tax changes regarding residents are under discussion. Far from certain they will ever happen. Meantime I doubt the small 300 baht charge would make any difference to the number of visitor arrivals, whether applied or not.
  5. Married to my Thai wife for 40 years. She is 68 I am 82. We are still happy together. She is a great cook, drives a car with skill, and enjoys a laugh. I consider myself a lucky man.
  6. Just be aware that many Thai women don't want anything to do with us westerners.
  7. So, in your opinion our borders are being controlled. For starters, quite a few people seem to be entering illegally via the channel, almost every day.
  8. Surely you mean the UK should now have control of its own borders..?
  9. The majority, at all levels, were opposed to Britain being dragged into a second world war. At the same time, however, the majority supported a major increase in Britain's defensive capability on the land and sea, and in the air.
  10. The way in which Heath treated the dominions and former colonies when we entered the EEC was a disgrace. They were ignored. We should have encouraged a better, closer working relationship with them rather than joining with Europe.
  11. The Britain they fought for, and which I grew up in during the 1940s and 1950s, has gone, sadly. Change is inevitable, of course. A shame it has not been for the better, to put it mildly.
  12. Trump's lead in the opinion polls has increased to 5%.
  13. He was conned into allowing his name to be put forward as the owner of a contracting company which was, it turned out, 20 million baht in debt.
  14. Sunak and Hunt shafted Boris Johnson out of office. Payback time approaches.
  15. Ridiculous. All he has achieved by this lawsuit is to draw attention to the fact that his son is a fugitive from justice.
  16. Thailand's constitution specifically allows for the abuse of human rights.
  17. Are you saying reclining seats should not be reclined ? Anyway, better to fly first class and avoid most of this hassle.
  18. Disgusting behaviour in 'Buddhist' Thailand. I hope the former owner gets the full sentence ie jailed and fined, plus some.
