  1. Disgusting. Should have got 10 years with no chance of parole. Money talks again, sadly.
  2. The Thai government's failure to address this issue was one of the factors leading to the financial crash of 1997/8.
  3. Ridiculous for an adult to get invloved in a fight like this. Grow up or leave.
  4. Thailand is not the USA. Things work differently here. Whatever you are doing in another country never forget that.
  5. The assets are in your Thai wife's name, and the business you have been involved in is not permitted for foreigners. You can only walk away.
  6. Boris will likely abstain. I doubt he will feature much in politics unless or until Labour win the next general election. If that happens, as seems likely, expect him re-emerge shortly thereafter.
  7. Whatever you do don't harm them. Just leave them alone.
  8. This sounds reasonable but bear in mind that it is the last thing that many of the sex workers want. They value their anonymity.
  9. My Thai wife and I were married in Taiwan 1990 after which we had our marriage licence certified by the Thai embassy in Hong Kong. This has been accepted by Immigration in Bangkok when applying for a visa based on marriage, and for subsequent extensions.
  10. Worldwide pollution and, in Thailand, massive use of pesticides.
  11. Good food, friendly people, warm weather.
  12. Anyone who has difficulty with organizationai or self-control issues is probably best advised to pay for the use of an agent.
  13. It's entirely for the Thais to decide how they deal with fellow Thais, and entirely up to them how they choose to deal with foreigners. If they wish to be tougher on visitors than their own people, so be it.
  14. No chance the Thai government will seriously go after poachers hence there will be virtually no wildlife left in Thailand within a few years.
  15. This poor man apparently had many troubling issues and had previously contemplated suicide. The Thai partner should, however, be thoroughly interrogated. Problem is, that will likely never happen.
  16. The RTP don't carry out raids like this if they have received prior compensation.
  17. Sunak inherited a load of rubbish, starting with the duplicity of Teresa May's main 'negotiator' the now knighted Ollie Robbins.
