62.9 million people voted for Trump in 2016, 74.2 million in 2020, and 77.3 million in 2024. I doubt that they are all stupid. A somewhat presumptuous statement on your part.

A pathetically soft penalty. The scumbag who inflicted such vicious cruelty on a helpless little animal should have received a jail sentence.

A long overdue ruling. About time the Dems and their sloppy judicial acolytes were told to obey the rules.

Nonsense.

I doubt that Labour will ever be forgiven for this. They have stopped a full and proper investigation of the organized gang rape of young white girls by Pakistani men, by so doing hoping instead to attract grubby Muslim votes. Utterly disgusting and utterly shameful.

Best you stay in Oz by the sound of. it. For myself, living and working in many countries, and retired in Thailand since 1993, every day has a routine involving chores, exercise, occasional shopping, and, at 83 years of age, periods of relaxation late morning and early evening. Never bored.

What's your point ?

He should get jail time and a fine, and a court order forbidding this specimen of Thai manhood to ever go near another animal for the rest of his life. It'll never happen, if course. This is Buddhist Thailand where the official line is all Thai people are kind to animals.....

At this rate it won't be long before moral guardian units are out and about promoting virtue and punishing indecency in the land of smiles.

Nonsense. Cannabis, whatever it's strength, induces calm, not aggression. The story of the russian roulette incident has yet to be clarified however the use of nitrous-oxide, and a Lithuanian's dubious account of the event, are under investigation.

Another annoying one is the pronunciation of the word 'hospital', currently 'hospitul'.

The builder who constructed our house and outbuildings at our place in Rayong had great skills and knowledge. He and his team were hardworking, and they finished the project on time and to perfection. Could not have been bettered by anyone anywhere else in the world.

Way, way too early to draw any conclusions regarding Trump's tariff policy. Market panic has become a standard reaction to any policy change. Meantime be on the lookout to buy certain shares at bargain basement prices.

One of the sadder aspects of life in Thailand is the dislike/contempt Thais have for trees. When, supposedly, trimming a tree they appear to attack it with what seems to be venom and hate. Strange. This must be a relatively new phenomenon. Many will remember when Sathorn, in Bangkok, was an attractive tree-lined a avenue, only to wake up one morning and see that all the trees had been chopped down in the dead of night. Sacrilege.

It all depends on the variable amount of funding available to each individual, in Pattaya or anywhere else. Some will happily get by on their basic pension and adjust their lifestyle accordingly. Others, with more available income, may run more than two homes, employ several staff, and will incur major maintenance costs re swimming pools, house maintenance etc. Then there will be those with substantial incomes but who prefer a modest life style, and others with less substantial incomes but who live beyond their means. Accordingly there can be no definitive answers to the questions put by the poster.

Put simply most tourists behave well, a few don't.

Thuggish behaviour by the foreigner. Ideally he should get jail time, pay compensation, and then be deported with a lifetime ban. Reality is he will get away with paying a small amount of compensation.

The UK civil service, the judiciary, the BBC, and the police, inter alia, are combining to bring about an islamic state in Britain governed under Sharia law. They are doing so because they have been promised, by Muslim activists, prominent positions in such a state. The reality will be that they will be eliminated almost as soon as an Islamic state has been achieved.

Psychotic and dangerous. She should be confined in a mental health institution.

Released on bail. Looks increasingly as though the treacherous UK police and judiciary are combining to convert Britain into an Islamist state under Sharia law.

Only goes to show that, with a bit of luck, even a thick, useless ignoramus can land himself a luxury lifestyle.

ICC= Incompetent Corrupt Clowns.

Pathetic behaviour. One wonders what kind of mentality leads a human being to think this would be remotely funny.

An alternative point of view, which is good, spoilt by exaggeration.

Your choice, you're welcome.
