Ah well, Nope, I can't confirm that as it was second hand information.

No, but it does back up the claim that Starmer is offering 5-year contracts to HMOs. It was a friend of mine who installs security equipment in HMOs who had been told that by one of his clients/owners of the HMOs. He said it as a ' matter of fact ' not vindictive in any way as he was suggesting that's what I should be doing.

I like it, but we have our own compound, and it's all paid for many years ago. Roi Et airport is 50 minutes away. Easy for Bangkok and travel anywhere. I can be in Siem reap driving from my home to Chong Chom and a taxi at the border inside Cambodia in 7.5 hours. Plenty of places here to keep me happy including Khonkaen, Roi Et, Nakhom Panom etc but that's a side and separate issue regards Isaarn.

Who is the post aimed at? If it's me, then be informed:- I am a UK taxpayer, I am not retired, I pay into the UK system and I pay council tax on my personal property and on properties that I own and build there. I have made a post as to what I saw this trip and what is going on there. Have you been in the North of England recently? Lastly, if it as aimed at me, I am neither in Pattaya nor a pensioner. Whilst based in the UK, I employed West Indian people, Asian people, whose parents originated from various countries, White, Irish, Indian Sikhs etc, so I certainly don't feel I need to explain myself to an anonymous poster screaming racist, Do I have a problem with Muslim grooming gangs attacking vulnerable white girls of 12 or 13 years old or anybody that wishes to replace my way of living with the Islamisation of Britain or threat of death under shariah law?.... Yes, if you consider that to be racist!! Or do you define a racist as any person that does not share your views?

I arrived in Bangkok from Isaarn the day before and stayed at Novotel Sukhumvit 4 area of Nana. Good hotel, but it's still Nana plaza, and no getting away from that. Plush rooms, but I think I will revert to Nana hotel in the future, as I say, you can't escape the area. I left Thailand, and I am on retirement extension, but left using the e gates without a hitch. I was actually on a free flight this time using Avios points with Qatar and able to choose seats free of charge, due to Gold membership. Not only that, but I was on the A380 as far as Doha and opted for the front seat 40A downstairs with loads of legroom. I was then on the A350, Doha to Manchester, again a decent seat with good legroom. I was travelling alone as my other half chose not to come even though she has a 10-year tourist visa (more later). Both flights were very good, great attentive staff and decent planes. I was a bit worried as Qatar have been in the news lately for not so good reviews. I found everything to be great, to be honest. The weather in the UK for my three weeks was amazing, and I was very fortunate to have caught a good spring. Now the bad stuff. Supermarket prices have gone through the roof since my visit last year, and prices were very noticeable and much higher than previous visits. Drinking in decent places, unless you want to spend three weeks in Wetherspoon's, which I didn't, you don't get much change from a fiver for a pint. Outside the supermarkets, I visited about three different store brands from Tesco to Asda during my time there, plenty of beggars asking for change, These were white British people, many on drugs. It was like rough areas of the USA we see on TV. I drove past and saw queues outside food banks. I was told by my son, that many were not desperate, they were begging food then selling it cheap to buy drugs, We drove through an area where I was brought up as a child, which has now become a Pakistani stronghold, and they have built a large mosque. It was unrecognizable. Litter everywhere on the streets, as well as discarded sofas, fridges, just dumped anywhere and everywhere. It was like a filthy slum. There were rats scurrying around and these were visible in the daytime. Overflowing rubbish bins from takeaway shops, the towns are full of them, not sealed and food waste on the floor. The town centres and city centres have been overrun by drug addicts aggressively asking people for money in the streets and not a policeman in sight. I was also stopped by shoplifters selling everything from cheap perfume to bulk packs of washing powder. There were groups of East Europeans on street corners, leering at passers-by. They were obviously up to no good. The city centres, I visited a few, are now full of vape shops or alleged ' TURKISH BARBER SHOPS ' which are not Turkish, they are Pakistani money laundering shops that only take cash. All the shops of yesteryear are gone. Everybody buys online. Town and city centres are no longer family friendly. I saw women in the towns with children and babies, holding and waving bottles of booze and drunk at 11am in the morning. A couple of what used to be good hotels in the centre are now fully occupied with migrants. I was told the government is offering HMO owners, (houses for multiple occupancy) 50 GBP per room per night to house migrants on a 5-year contract. I did take a trip out and up to North Yorkshire, and I was in the England of old, and it was refreshing. Those people are living in a different universe. Horse riders out for a canter, lovely food based pubs with staff with impeccable manners and clean streets and no migrants. I must state I was there for business reasons, but I have never been as happy to get on a plane back to Thailand. Now, do you wonder why my other half said she didn't want to go and thought it better I went alone, and she would look after the farmstead and her mother. I don't blame her, nor can I understand any Thai wanting to visit the UK. The trip was heartbreaking. However, Kier Starmer and his millionaire lefties cabinet colleagues are not seeing any of this. They are living far away in leafy suburbs, driving around in police convoys with armed bodyguards, oblivious as to what is going on in the North of England.

It will be stopped before that happens, the British have woken up and are fighting back. Marches and strikes are rising, and it isn't extreme right, these are normal working class white and black British-born people I can't see Labour going to a full parliamentary term and then the REFORM UK party will be in, and they are making massive gains amongst mainstream society. People are sick of Conservatives and Labour, as well as migrants and Pakistani grooming gangs. The fightback is already underway. Furthermore, it won't be an Islamic UK in the next couple of generations. Yes of course, under this pathetic, weak excuse of a Labour government, Pakistani Muslims are getting in to high government positions, under the umbrella of ' diversity ', but it won't last. The current LEGAL official Muslim count of the UK population is around 6%- 7% of the population.

Monarchy in name only, it's an autocracy.

I suppose it can, I found it very boring and glad to return over the border as quickly as I could. I wasn't carried away with Vientiane, either.

I think the posters who listed Isaarn, Roi Et and Khonkaen are people who class not boring to be places such as Soi 6, Soi Cowboy, Nana plaza. In other words, shallow. I, after living in Isaarn a great many years, find nothing boring about the place. Khonkaen is a huge, majorly developed city catering for most people and with some excellent hospitals and universities and good infrastructure. In my opinion, Roi Et is a good city in his own right, (although it is factory and industry orientated) but plenty of things to do and not dull or boring. No, they don't have the fleshpots of Pattaya or Phuket, and long may it continue.

Last of the big spenders! You sit and have one beer, chat with your mate, and listen to live music in a preferred seat overlooking the moat. No food and one beer, Wow.

We all know it, only Starmers brigade refuse to accept it.

My origin is always Bangkok. So sometimes they send me through security but never when on the A380

And do you agree with those words????? They were total overkill just because the public disagrees with him. Whatever, he's back peddled. The sooner this government, the most unpopular ever in such a short space of time, is out, the better.

When I landed in Doha, Qatar, from Bangkok with Qatar Airways to catch a Qatar plane to Manchester, they made us go through security again. This seems to be when I fly on the 777 or 787. However, the last two times I have flown in from Bangkok on the A380, we have bypassed security in Doha.

He has also backpeddled and apologised for his wrong choice of words.

I took the sleeper train from Hua Lamphong in Bangkok to Surat Thani one time and then took the ferry across to Samui. I did it for the experience, but then I flew back because there was too much faffing around.

Agreed, after hanging, drawing and quartering, drag his divided corpse on multiple ropes behind the BMW and do donuts around the deserted car park to provide swift justice and proof of a ' crackdown ' by the BIB.

Yeah, Let's just hang, draw and quarter him and send him home in pieces in case he's tempted to come back and donut again.

Because they can't have guns!....😁

Are you making this story up or just winding us all?

Depends on if they, the powers that be, in Thailand are having a ' crackdown ' on people blacklisted in India. Of course not!

The clue was in the title, specifically referring to a British man.
