So what happened to Warut's 12 million lottery win.. or is it pointless asking?

I can't see much being left if he is a tapper on a rubber plantation.

Those places are rough to stay at as well, with many having no water or electrical supply. Not a great place to take your kids!

So her two friends who were in the same room heard/witnessed nothing, or remain quiet?

I was thinking exactly the same.

My eye sight is not too bad. I use the phone/WhatsApp without my specs when I am out cycling/jogging. No I am not taking alpha-blockers.

@ravip

At the end of last year, I had a lens implanted for middle and long-distance reading and driving. I also had cataract removal.

The procedure carried out was cataract surgery to my right eye with toric extended depth of focus lens implantation.

I had mine done at a private specialist clinic in the UK, with a surgeon of good reputation in Wetherby. For one eye, the cost with the fancy lens was 3700 GBP.

I had poor vision.

The procedure was slightly uncomfortable for a short while but not painful.

I did keep a strict regimen of eye drops following surgery. Some were for 14 days, some for one month and some for two months.

I was seeing the benefits, excuse the pun, within 24 hours.

I can swim in pools or the sea and go about any daily activity, including driving without glasses. I do wear readers ' to help ' with close reading and computer work.

Opening an account at Lloyds to deposit all

the money before it gets confiscated ? Or is it a one way ticket?😏

They usually prefer HSBC

They certainly like to get around the world whilst providing first-class safety to Thailand.

I bet he isn't sat in the economy class or his family.

I'd gamble on it.😆

I'm guessing English teachers in Bangkok too ?

I may be wrong however 

I have a Filipina who rents one of our houses, she teaches at the local sugar factory, not a school.

Part of the roadmap should include reciprocity. I have met Thais with houses in the UK. Land ownership here is never discussed. Naturalization here is another topic.

They don't want to join anything that involves reciprocity

They only want the parts that directly benefit themselves.

Always been that way.

Another observation on racists....they are unable to actually put forward any arguments so they resort to cliches..e.g. "woke".

May I draw your attention to the comment by Kathy Burke - https://ifunny.co/picture/kath-kathyburke-i-love-being-woke-it-s-much-nicer-bqWU3B4h9?s=cl

Nothing racist about me, It's you who is a bigot.

You don't need to draw my attention to anything as nothing you have to say interests me.

And resorting to rude memes in links shows not only have you not achieved in getting your point across, but you have had to use gutter humour to reinforce your bigotry.

Great news! I hope the Thai's start complaining that no one in the UK speaks Thai.

In case nobody informed you, English is recognised as an international form of communication.

It is widely used as a first or second language in the USA, Australia, NZ, Scandinavia, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and many more as well as the UK.

Where outside Thailand is Thai spoken widely?

Interesting if a little disturbing to see a racist's POV.

So still struggling to come to terms with UK beginning to recognise Thailand as an equal.

With Thailand's corrupt courts, governments, Police and day-to-day practices, xenophobic and racist behaviour it is a long way off from becoming equal to the UK.

How's life in your ' woke world '

Only in the minds of daily mail readers and GBnews viewers. 

When was the last time you were in the UK?

I was there in January and all local hotels had no rooms for tourists as they were filled with asylum seekers, so what are you talking about?

What talks would be needed on visa free 30 day visits to reciprocate what Thailand has long granted Brit passport holders? Get on with it! At least then my wife could join me, hassle free, on my short trips to UK to see my family and friends there

Yeah,

Let's forget all the ramifications of granting this type of visa waiver where the UK streets would be further flooded with illegals, who get jobs in Thai restaurants, nail shops, massage parlours and the overstayers and focus on your 30 days holiday with your wife to see your pals in Wetherspoons!

How selfish of the British government.

The British visa system already allows a Thai tourist to stay up to six months in the UK, not the 30 days they give a British tourist here.

And no bloody silly reporting and carrying passports around.

Get a proper visa like I have had to do.

1,000 GBP for 10 years, simples!.......😆

Hehehehe,

It looks like he's transferred his and his business partners' shares to his wife and she has pawned them to loan sharks!

this second case is a civil lawsuit in which the former partner of the Danish man demands compensation from the Dane and his wife for losing the ownership of their Koh PhangAn property to a local loan shark after they had transferred all the shares to the wife.

You can't make it up!😂

The child needs to be removed from that environment permanently.

We did a lot of work before and donated to, Jing Jai Orphanage in Pattaya, as well as Father Brennan (when he was alive), at Pattaya Orphanage and some of the stories we heard of abuse, did not make for good reading.

It shows the mentality here when she is being cheered on and encouraged by alleged ' Netizens ' for her actions.

Has she not heard of divorce courts?

Stanley knives cause horrific injuries.

I have seen and witnessed the same behaviour as the OP about service in bars and eateries.

I certainly think it is a familiarity and contempt issue, as in the thinking of, he comes anyway, we don't need to exert ourselves.

The reason your central critique of your OP post regarding shoe removal  is being ignored is the half-baked concentration on the actual "hygiene" of ingrained cultural practice. Then in your vainglorious attack to deny the sense of entitled self-superiority whilst  simultaneously stating "the majority" of Asian people are "sheep" who don't think for themselves is beyond hypocrisy.

 

Surely you cannot not be that gormless and are just having a pull of one of my legs. Nice one.

 

Fairly clear by your responses who is acting superior here and definitely up their own ass!

Slap yourself on the back!

Have a nice day.
