I don't get point 3 unless it's a miscommunication with English, not his first language. I can't see Thailand contacting his bank regarding his Wealth, it is way too early for such a thing, as many areas are not finalised on tax for foreigners etc The alleged tax year isn't even over, and there are many questions unanswered regarding rules, regulations and implementation. I do agree, however, Thailand is no place for somebody elderly who is a foreigner with multiple health issues. I would sooner be in Spain than parts of the UK.

When I read the post and the BBC report, it did not say he was working at a school, it said he was ' recruiting ' and placing potential teachers in teaching positions in Thailand, so, I took that as freelancing. If he was self-employed, he wasn't teaching at a school and no school insurance would have been provided.

Bloody hell, it's obvious and fenced enough for anybody to realise it's a hazard, give it a wide berth and to stay well away from it. I can't see it being a motorbike, it's a fair distance from the road. Also, it ain't knee-high, unless you are Michael Jordan, you can see in the pic with the guys standing around, it's waist high. I agree Thailand doesn't have a great health and safety record, but visitors know this, as it's obvious, such as lousy drivers, open manhole covers, etc You are not going to achieve Western standards of health and safety over here. Anyway, RIP to the poor guy, 36 years old is no age!

BYE.

Try educating yourself, and below is some bedtime reading to help you along. Below it tells you about his lies, draft dodging and misogyny, as well as his conviction. He's a convicted felon, for god's sake! All articles from respected sources. However, cult followers like you will never accept, it is a waste of time showing you facts as you deny them, you don't think for yourselves, and it's the blind leading the blind. The man is a danger and a loose cannon:- https://apnews.com/article/trump-trial-deliberations-jury-testimony-verdict-85558c6d08efb434d05b694364470aa0 https://apnews.com/article/trump-election-lies-rogan-interview-ballots-voting-c8c06eb608c1b1ae8ca0e93ec1022b02 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/02/27/trumps-lawyer-no-basis-for-presidents-medical-deferment-from-vietnam/ https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-avoided-the-military-draft-which-was-common-at-the-time-vietnam-war-2018-12 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/13/your-body-my-choice-maga-men

Are you for real? or have you been living under a rock without internet for the past 10 years?

Insurance abroad to cover all eventualties should be top of peoples lists, unfortunately, it tends to be an afterthought, with inadequate insurance or no insurance being the norm. I get some kind of insurance via my Thai credit card for accidents, Do I think this covers me for anything major? Of course I don't and have full medical insurance in Thailand as well as, not instead of. When I was a kid, asking strangers or neighbours for money was classed as begging and a badge of shame in my family, and we were poor! Why do people in 2024 think it's OK to just put up a GoFundMe page and let charity from online strangers take care of their oversights and shortcomings? A side issue and short story, I have a spare house in Isaarn and I had this guy come regarding rental. We weren't asking much, it's a three bed bungalow, with European style bathroom and toilet and a kitchen/diner. This German tried to beat us down from 6,000 baht a month to 5,000 baht. I saw him in the local bar later that evening, where women of the night are available. The girls didn't understand him and he asked me to translate, he wanted to request they would come down from 3,000 baht to 2,500 baht for the night. So here we have a guy, who is prepared to pay 2500 baht to get his rocks off for a couple of hours, but doesn't want to pay 6000 baht for a months accommodation. It's called getting your PRIORITIES RIGHT and what is important in your life! And No, I didn't rent the clown the house!

Totally agree, If a guy wants to drink beer in the morning, it's his choice. I've not drank for three months, but my waistline isn't saying the same.

The problem is, and this is showing in the West, as youngsters turn away from alcohol, they are turning to drugs. They aren't leading super healthy lifestyles, they are swapping one substance for another. These take the form, in the West anyway, of Cocaine, ecstasy is a staple, Cannabis etc and those alleged, ' Healthy Gym buffs ' are on various substances, including steroids, but only admit to protein substitutes!! My eldest son informs me, they hit the Cocaine big time, at the weekends, and then they all want time off work the following week, claiming mental health issues, which is now the' Catch all and Go To ' excuse for missing work. He has worked with Adults with mental health issues for many years, and knows the stories.

Hi, Side question here as not wanting to open a thread for a small matter. If you withdraw an amount from your 800K, Is your three months after renewal (where you cannot withdraw), timed from when you OBTAINED your renewal, or the expiry date of your renewal. For example, if your renewal expires on 18th July 2025, but you renewed in June 12th 2024, is the three-month period from June renewal date or the July expiry date?

I got rid of a black faced submariner early last year, It had sat in a safe for years! I got 9,500 GBP for it, and I am glad I sold it. That, coupled with the fact it costs 800 GBP just to get it serviced, I let it go and sold it when I was in the UK. With the sale and profit, I put in a new, non-slip tiled driveway in the house in Thailand, I also bought Madam a new motorbike and got her a 10-year visa for the UK, and I got my eyes lasered. I now wear a Black pulsar which cost me 50 GBP!! It still tells the time, looks OK, and I wouldn't be too upset if it got stolen from a hotel room on one of my mini breaks in Cambodia!

So, it looks like the kid is 14 years old, not 10 years old as stated, and he knows his way around in the thieving game! Seriously, what on earth was the woman thinking, leaving that amount of valuables lying around in a condo with the flimsiest of locks as security. She should have left her jewellery in Australia, the same place as she left her brains! The stupidity is mind-boggling. Great idea, let's take 3.5 million baht worth of jewellery to Thailand, which has rampant poverty, and leave it on bedside tables and drawers, In an unsecure condo, without even a safety box, on the ground floor. What could possibly go wrong?

In Cambodia, they want and expect you to pay the fare plus the extra for petrol for THEM taking YOU to the wrong place!

You short of friends to send you emails?

Yeah, Goodbye, Biden, now let's listen to four years of Trump crap, lies, misogynist behaviour, racism, and self adulation. If you miss it so much, get yourself back there, there will be plenty of space with the amount selling up and getting out.

The Black holes in UK finances are made up of inefficient use of resources and top-heavy management in the NHS, and DWP, and adding into the mix the lazy work-shy Brits who have scrounged all their lives on benefits, with a nice helping of false Asylum seekers, that shouldn't be in the country.

Very few Nigerians are in Thailand for tourism!

They are means tested as pensions are taxable and only not taxable when it is your only income, and you remain below the tax threshold, so what are you talking about? NIC is paid over 35 years and is an entitlement. What the false flag Asylum seekers claim are BENEFITS, paying thousands to traffickers to come and work in Britain, and are getting benefits which we can't afford, they haven't earned or paid into a system, and are sinking the nation further into debt. How long are they going to keep bleating about a disproven lie regarding a black hole in finances, if they are there to fix the economy like they claimed. Furthermore, if any party leaves government with black holes in finances, it's the Labour Party. Let's watch the massive drain of investment that now takes place as they chase the private sector to pay for their extravagant socialist dreams. I see the boat/dinghy situation is now worse than ever and more are crossing under Labour than ever there were under the Tories, with the Rwanda deterrent removed, whilst the EU are adopting the Rwanda idea as a blueprint to halt false asylum seekers in the EU, and Border checks are back. Let's watch Labour bow to the unions and kiss their arse with inflation busting rises and bankrupt the country with zero emission policies and socialist dreams, whilst those at the top of the Labour tree enjoy the status of being multi-millionaires. For sure, Donald Trump and the Republicans won't work with Labour.

Please read my post, I wrote that without reading yours. You are absolutely 100% right.

He won't be ' up for anything ' as he will now be banned from entering the country.

Do you mean Welcome to Hell by Colin Martin? I knew him personally from Chonburi Prison before his transfer to Bangkok after contracting TB. Yes, they are full of exaggerations and yes they do make up stories, a classic tale of an absolute pack of lies was "A Prayer before Dawn" by the Scouser, Billy. The guy was only in Bangkok jail for no more than 5 months!!!!! Nobody had the brains to question him on his ACTUAL amount of time spent in Klong Prem to come up with such a story, and people bought into it. I agree with the US system, I believe it is, that you should not be allowed to profit from crime by either books or newspaper articles.

He's down there looking if the land is suitable for the mass production of cannabis.

You mean like Bras and soiled knickers?

That would be a bit extreme for a drink driving charge.
