  1. I remember reading that when golfer Bobby Jones was on his deathbed his last words were "Is that all there is ? " This, from a guy who won all four majors in one year, in 1930, the only time that has ever been done, and who was a superstar world-wide.
  2. The protocol would be for a visiting PM to have a meeting, however brief, with the PM of the country visited. Never happened, apparently.
  3. Aggression under the influence of alcohol occurs way to often in Thailand.
  4. No idea why guys like this head for Thailand. The RTP seem to be able to pick them up with ease if requested/incentivised to do so.
  5. Very sad. This seriously demented psycho should have been permanently confined to a mental institution.
  6. Not sure about that. The RTP seem pretty good at apprehending foreign criminals if asked/incentivised to do so by the criminal's home country.
  7. Thirty thousand baht is a brazen and ridiculous amount to ask for. If this is a genuine posting I'd run a mile if I was you.
  8. Taiwan people are the most friendly to be found anywhere. Thais less so but they are, nevertheless, amiable and, mostly, fun to know. I have not had your experience on the SkyTrain in Bangkok.
  9. Clearly time to get into the medical prescription business in Thailand.
  10. A totally ridiculous police statement pretending that the police are trying to make bars safer. The reason they are raiding bars is that they are seeking pay-offs. These raids will frighten foreigners away rather than encourage them to visit.
  11. I should have said earned, my mistake.
  12. Not bullying in the physical sense, but disgusting behaviour nonetheless. I doubt he would do this in his own country.
  13. No man should ever beat a woman like this. Sadly I doubt he will ever face justice.
  14. Back to the country where she received her degree, in International Hotel Management, at Surrey University in Guildford.
  15. Thaksin entirely to blame, his sister to pay the penalty. Yingluck should stay well away from Thailand, probably for ever.
  16. The two pitbulls should either have been confined, or leashed if outside. Entirely the owner's responsibility.
  17. Your personal background has no relevance to this case. The fact is that kicking and swearing at people is not acceptable in any country. Thuggish behaviour deserving judicial punishment. I would have thought a year behind bars would have been more appropriate. Behaviour like this reflects badly on all of us.
  18. He was not 'spoken to by one who cannot be named', but even if your comment was correct it does not account for the innocent people killed.
  19. No idea what you're talking about. Was this response intended for someone else ?
  20. Entirely agree. Went on a cruise around the Mediterranean many years ago. Experienced claustrophobia within minutes, and soon after realised I would be unable to avoid people I would rather not know. Loathed every minute. Never again !
  21. The gall of this guy ! Thaksin has yet to be called to account for the thousands of people killed in his 'war on drugs' during his tenure as PM, the majority of whom were entirely innocent.
