  1. If, I repeat if, it is true that the Brits didn't pay their bill they were asking for trouble. The bar employees will be charged for whatever amount is involved.
  2. Is it right that, if Trump is found guilty, the appeal process could go on for years ?
  3. It's now reported that the Russian was actually harassing their daughter.
  4. If the reports are correct he was defending his Thai wife. Ha might just get away with this. Stupid and less than bright, though, to have punched the Russian.
  5. A friend who was there told me the abuse directed at Trump initially faded early on, and he was being well-received by the end if his speech. This appears to have been the case after reading through the entire article.
  6. Started by Labour under Blair/Brown, made worse by the Tories. Who can turn this sad condition around ?
  7. What are the benefits of having a residency certificate ?
  8. If you run the Thai branch of a top multi-national with heavy investments in Thailand you will move in high society, otherwise not.
  9. Buddhism is a philosopy, not a religion. What we have in Thailand is ldolatry and a belief in reincarnation, hence the refusal to put animals down for fear of being punished in the next life.
  10. Absolutely right on both points. He is a puppet. He was always going to be shafted by Thaksin, clearing the way for a Shinawatra takeover. However, Thaksin is not liked in establishment circles, will likely over-estimate his importance as he did previously, and find himself on the way back to Dubai sooner or later.
  11. To say that the decriminalisation of cannabis is ' turning Thailand's youth into a bunch of stoners' is ignorant, stupid and totally untrue.
  12. Swiss language ? Really ?
  13. The people are friendly but life is rather chaotic outside the tourist areas. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to retire to.
  14. Abortion is a tricky subject. Many years ago my wife had an abortion, entirely with my agreement, but it has troubled us both ever since.
  15. Whatever the provocation best not to be hitting someone else's 6 year old.
  16. Francesco isn't exactly a common name in Sweden....
  17. Not sure this post has anything to do with influencers however the serious problem of under-age trafficking is complicated by young people physically maturing earlier and earlier, and appearing older than their really are.
  18. Thailand is Buddhist in name only.
  19. Some locals behaving badly is a poor excuse for foreigners doing the same.
  20. Thai teachers have been permanently and heavily indebted for many years.
  21. They sell it, having burned a limited amount in front of the cameras.
