Neighbour Held For Beating Italian Man To Death In Front Of His House
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Before all the Thai apologists start again about the ' We are guests in their country,' blah blah blah If a foreigner is legally here and obeys the laws regarding visas or extensions and many are here due to having Thai connections and families, they are equally allowed to be protected by the laws of the country just as much as Thais. We have large numbers of Thais in the UK, you never hear British people shouting ' If you don't like it, go home ' at them for the slightest infraction. A great many foreigners contribute far more to the tax system than these village yokels, and also to the economy itself by buying cars, condos, and houses, educating Thai mixed-race kids or even Thai kids they adopt and put through international schools. That helps Thailand a lot more and contributes more to the GDP than some Thai filthy scroat that sits in his hammock all day in the village, living in squalor, sponging and getting sloshed on Lao Khao all day and night long. I see far less of this bone idleness in Cambodia and Vietnam than the out-and-out sheer entitlement of some of these people in Isaarn, who are simply oxygen thieves who contribute zero. -

I get the fact he was down on his luck but I think the neighbours, both father and son, equally antagonised him knowingly or not. Still no justification for the murder of the man. -
Violent Altercation Erupts at Nightclub, Leaving Several Injured
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I've stayed in Samut Prakan many times and it's not a place where tourists go in numbers. It's very much a Thai-style place, or it is where I have been including bars and eateries. -

Where he belongs. He will know now what smelly garbage is and overflowing toilets that have excrement piled up high and blocked toilets as well as water rationing for showers in the hot season. -
I have a young man in his mid to late twenties, I know him from Ho Chi Minh. He is self-employed in Vietnam and has a successful business. I have just returned from South Vietnam and he was acquiring a new passport intending to visit Thailand in the New Year 2024. He will fly into Don Muang from Ho Chi Minh and will be here for less than a week. My question is does he need to be carrying the equivalent of 20,000 baht with him in cash? I am unsure if it is just Suvarnabhumi who is strong with that rule or uses it as an excuse to refuse. There were many Vietnamese on my return flight from Ho Chi Minh last week (obviously), I should have asked them as some appeared to know Thailand as if they were frequent flyers.

I put it down to limited or no education where they feel lashing out and violence solves the problem. I've seen Thai men drunk, beating the hell out of their wives and attacking their kids, you can't get involved or they link up and turn on us. many tend to blame the world for their own misfortunes.- 162 replies

And you don't think there is any possibility that through these disputes, which led to the imprisonment of the Thai neighbour's son?, the smell of garbage could just be that.......A garbage excuse served up as a justification for using extreme violence because he was annoyed that his son had been imprisoned. I have seen the behaviour of Thais in the local villages, I see it every day, Healthy living and hygiene both personal and in their homes are not top of their agenda- 162 replies

If you are on a short trip in Asia and travelling to say, Vietnam or Cambodia, on a budget carrier such as Air Asia or Vietjet, you are better off packing 7Kgs because outside laundries to get your clothes cleaned are way cheaper than the add-ons charged by the airlines for luggage. The insurance add-on is nonsense. I am willing to pay for seat selection to sit where I want to be.

King Power not happy with talk of abolishing duty-free on arrival
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I recall those days when a person just stood over a boundary line while browsing and was instantly accused of shoplifting. -
King Power not happy with talk of abolishing duty-free on arrival
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Whenever I have looked at duty-free shops in Thailand and the UK, buying in the high street or online always seems cheaper. I see no advantage in spirits, wines, or perfumes at duty-free shops. -
Large human trafficking case involving Thai berry pickers in Finland
Scouse123 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How many are victims of human trafficking and how many are willing participants! It's only human trafficking when it's against their will or they are coerced into it. It is not when they dive in head first then scream human trafficking when they get caught in the act -
CHEATING ONLINE SHOPPING- be careful people
Scouse123 replied to Scouse123's topic in General Topics
Absolutey disagree. You obviously don't order much online and it seems dont pretty get involved in most things but have a usually sarcastic or tainted opinion on everything. It's a case of unscrupulous sellers sending junk through and not meeting the description they sold it as. As a customer I am expecting a delivery and therefore pay for it. When opened it does not resemble what was ordered. its happened now on three occasions We now open in front of the drivers, and the drivers have told us it is happening often and they have been instructed by their head office to video the opening of packages! To those on here who keep quoting Lazada, where in my OP does it mention Lazada? Mostly it's happening via Facebook orders. -
Hi. Just to let you people know, and many may have already fallen for it already as I have recently, please be very careful when ordering online products now. In the past I was happy. I bought plenty online. Loads of products sent as described. I have found recently the products delivered to be very securely wrapped and impatient delivery riders who want you to pay COD so they can be on their way. It's happened twice in the last week and products described online do not resemble what is delivered, neither in quality nor what I ordered. I have lost a few quid, but I am now wise to these scams going on where they are sending tracking numbers and then not delivering what you order in the hope that you won't check the contents and just pay for them.

They are never going to do that unfortunately. This is why they create such dramas with any country having relations with Taiwan. They are determined to take it, just as they are determined to push everybody out of the South China seas. The massive military build up is not for no good reason. It has never been under the control or ruled by the CCP , but they don't let facts or the truth get in the way of anything, especially now they have the sad faced despot who has effectively declared himself leader for life, along with Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, the Iranian Ayatollahs etc They lied and destroyed Hong Kong's democracy and are hell-bent on doing the same in Taiwan. They've been waiting for this have the Chinese, ever since the days of the clown Mao Tse Tung, whose policies led to the deaths of millions of Chinese. Meanwhile in Cambodia massive dry docks for large ships are getting prepared. This gives a springboard for further Chinese expansion. Hun Sen saying it's for the use of the tiny Cambodian Navy which doesn't have ships bigger than 50 metres long!!

And here we are now! China massively expanding its air force and Navies as well as its nuclear arms capabilities. They did this filthy nonsense in Tibet and now trying to take over the entire South China Sea against all claims from Vietnam, the Philippines, and all other countries in the region having rightful claims to territorial waters. China, of course, ignores this. Furthermore, they are now throwing their weight around with African and European countries under their unfair ' belt and roads ' policy. Italy got wise to it and pulled out. The Chinese were furious with them and threatened retaliation. Now, trying to introduce their Chinese police into countries around the world to ' help ' Chinese tourists, the objective is more likely to crush dissent by Chinese nationals living abroad. Taiwan is another example, it was never ruled by the CCP however, they are hell-bent on taking it. Look at their friends, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, kind of says it all.

Absolute bull $hit. The Chinese are now going to be doing the same in Thailand as they are already doing in Cambodia. Takeover by stealth and some in Thailand are too braindead to accept it, or they don't care. Next thing they'll be importing their version of law and order, Chinese style. It's not cooperation, it's a takeover.

Using dollars in Cambodia is stupid

Dont sweat the small stuff. Cambodia, cheap food, cheap beers, cheap spirits, cheap hotels. What's the big deal? -
I like the Vietnamese and I like their directness. I have been many times and will be there again on the 24th, I can't wait. Better than a load of false smiles, tits and teeth.

I prefer a Buddhist country to a Muslim one.

You obviously live in cuckooland I am a realistic person Think the best of people but always be ready for the worst. So you think she was smart allowing a man she just met on what is effectively a sex dating site, and then is surprised that he exploits the opportunity. How naive are you?
