Find a hobby, you silly old bugger, and stop annoying people with daft posts. You're probably surviving on 10K a month, and 7K is spent on internet.

I think it's plain and simple, Bangkok is vastly over supplied in the Condo market.

Understand all that. However, the point here is Jonathan Leo, his son. The guy moved out here in 2017, allegedly to run his business from over here and keep a watchful eye on his father. Now over a period of eight years, and him being very close by to his father, in fact he says he gave up his career to take care of his father: why didn't he get him on a flight when he noticed his father's declining health? He's had EIGHT YEARS to sort this out.

I know Jomtien very well, thanks. And Bang Saray.

They must not have got the Memo that Pattaya is a family friendly resort.

No, he's done the same thing under a different format as in crowdfunding.

I most certainly don't. It's BEGGING. We in my family, were brought up differently.

And in my view, he could have had his father removed years ago if things were looking bad, but instead they wait until 2025? How has Jonathan Leo been supporting himself all these years? Couldn't that money have been used to repatriate his father?

Of course, it's the favourite pastime these days for many and what they think is an easy fix. It absolves them, in their minds, of responsibility and five minutes setting this up to beg money on a computer, they can confidently boast they are ' doing all they can '

He was referring, possibly, to other members of the family, not the man in question.

The British Embassy will not pay for a medical evacuation to the UK, no matter how ill he is. They are dreaming, if they think they can put this on the toes of the British Embassy. It's got nothing to do with the Embassy being busy with recent earthquakes in Thailand. They don't do these things, it is not in the consular remit. Now they might scape up a bag of oranges and some Vitamin tablets at a push.......

I have found that Agoda and other booking agencies, when booking flights, charge more for luggage and seat choices than Air Asia does.

I find Agoda cheaper if I log out as a member and book as a guest. Then, when the price is agreed, I log in to my membership to claim the points. This often happens, it's cheaper to book as a non Agoda member through their website.

Why? The common fallback position with youngsters these days is GoFundMe! They think that's what it is there for, for people who don't know them to donate due to their own stupidity.

Your compassion is really quite underwhelming.

Hamas is a highly radical terrorist organisation. They will never stop. Do you think, for all their complaining, the Arab neighbours want to see them controlling a Palestinian state? Not a chance, they are afraid of it overspilling into their back yards.

They can't do that when he's already decomposed, and the Police are not convinced it's a natural death. And in Kalasin they are kept in the hospital until just before the ceremony, Nobody wants dead bodies in the house with all the ghosts and superstition.

Don't need to dig, it was a dry ditch.

Well, he isn't parked in her living room, is he?

Sounds like she wants him burnt ASAP. I wonder why?

But we are talking about a Thai forum and about a common occurrence in Thailand, not USA or the EU.

I am sure WISE will be gutted if you move.

It's quiet now, it will be dead in June. Yes, they also have the Cambodian equivalent called Pass app. It also has Grab food, Grab tuk tuk, Grab car, Grab bike, etc

And how do they perform background checks when these immigrants come from lousy countries with little or no rule of law. It would be impossible to perform such checks. This is the problem with the dinghy dodgers, we don't know what is landing on our shores.

I would do ten arrival cards to avoid Poipet, I hate the WAY OFFICIALS OPERATE in the place. I once booked a cab to take me to Siem Reap from Poipet. This smart ass pretending he was helping to try to direct and show me how to obtain a visa, and I duly informed him I had one. He then asked about transport, I foolishly told him I had booked it already. Then a desk with women dressed as nurses pretending to check for fever and charging us a fee. This guy with some kind of tourist assistant badge then went over and whispered in this Cambodian immigration guy's ear and all hell broke loose. I was told that I must take a bus to a pickup point some twenty minutes away and get a car from ' their official ' pick up point, where taxis were scandalously high in price. We eventually had to pay a bribe of $20 to use the taxi we had booked. Coming back was no better on the Thai side, it was nearly 2.5 hours in the immigration queue at Aranyaprathet with surly, rude Thai Immigration staff. NEVER AGAIN.
