Nurses like they used to be!!!!!

Such sympathy shown by some. Hope some nurse has read them and knows who you are when giving you a jab.

You don't even know about medical care in thailand do you. To make such a comment. The nurses never give injections here.

I'll have to find out who inserted my IV lines (painlessly) and gave me jabs throughout the night.

Looked like a nurse, talked like a nurse and even walked like a nurse in ridiculous white high heel clomping shoes.

If the person "looked like a nurse, talked like a nurse and even walked like a nurse in ridiculous white high heel clomping shoes", then it probably was a nurse.

Oh Matron!!!!!!!!!

The posters saying the police were right and quoting UK, US, Australian laws ........ just off the boat or what?

Weren't they just comparing?

Carrying a knife without good reason, blade length less than 3 inches, lock knife etc illegal. Thats UK rule, what about Thailand?

Always thought in the UK it is illegal to carry a knife no matter what it's for?

That's why Thais only eat with a fork and spoon don't you know they are taught from a young age that knives are dangerous LOL

Not only Thai eat with only fork and spoon. All Asian countries ppl eat only with fork, spoon and chopstick. Pls check your facts before making incorrect comments

I think you will find he was joking!!!!

Performing somersault, really?

Can you read, really?...

"It is our belief that intelligent animals like elephants..."

...that means not specifically elephants, in case you can't work it out.

... but since the article is ONLY about elephants ... ...

Mind you, an intelligent elephant would know where to stop with tricks and start putting his trainer through hoops.

Thanks, glad someone understands English!!!:

Agree with everything she says, well maybe not the somersaults.[/quo

The picture never lies!!!

No it doesn't

I wanna see the somersault!!!

There ya go!!

I come from a farming background in Australia.

I learnt to drive when I was six. Driving trucks and tractors when I was ten.

I also drove on main roads and thru town.

I was helping Dad and my friends were helping their Dads also.

I don't really condone the kid driving throughout the city but there is far worse going on in this country than that.

No comparason, I think many of us did the same as you, But this mixed with traffic and Thai drivers ( that drive like 9 year olds anyway ) with no driving skills is toxic.. How do you think the insurence co would react to this?

Daft as it seems they would probably pay!!!

Underage is one thing, trafficked is another... If a woman is of legal age and works in a bar of her own volition, how is that trafficking? To me it means that a woman has been more or less kidnapped and is working in the adult industry against her will... As with many terms, this one is over used...

Yes. Case in point, this article that Google found for me today. (I'm subscribed to articles of this type, mostly for comic relief. ) Today I got a particularly good one that shows that lots of people have no idea bout trafficking, and even less about Thailand:

http://www.theclause.org/2015/02/student-visits-thailand-to-fight-against-human-trafficking/

Josh Holm, junior theology major and president of the Free the Captives club at Azusa Pacific University, took a 2 1/2-week mission trip to Thailand during Christmas break in order to help fight human trafficking.

And it gets better from there onwards.

Just read it!! What a pisser, don't ya just love these kids!!!!!!!!

I ran into a bunch of these crusaders in Angeles City a while back... They were carrying cameras, filming punters and trying to interview girls that had been "trafficked"... I couldn't resist getting in their face, asking what they expected these girls to do as they had zero education, no options and needed to feed their families... After which they promptly did an about-face and ran the other way... Never try to convince a crusader that their reality is flawed as they don't want to know... White-bread Christians from upper-middle class American families don't have a clue as to how to world works...

Too right mate!!!!!!!!!

Yet here North of Chiang Mai, some villages have plenty of irrigation-water & are preparing the fields for planting, while in ours the klongs are bone-dry & there seems no point in trying.

Bad news for my wife's fish-ponds.

And for my rice pudding!!

While the sex trade does exist here in Chiang Mai, it's not at blatant and "in your face" as other tourist destinations in Thailand, and have found that the majority of it is directed towards the Thai locals. The majority of "falang" I know here are married, with families, and don't frequent most of these places.

That's good to know!!!!!

Presumably the 50 year old was a Madame?

Or a Mister!!

Are Thai Visa still involved with Asia Property in Hua Hin?

In the name of customer service, since they came in as a couple, one order is enough to give them WIFI...

She will tell 10 people or more...poor customer service will eventually close this bar...

Right now I will be writing to Lonely Planet about this bar....

CB

Saddo!!

^ yeah though it's also annoying for regular customers to have to change the password every time.

Tough!!!!

the whores are huge and will grab at your arm and want to get funky. i think they have hairy pits, not sure

And they stink!!!!

Drugs.

They are the pitch men.

Their job is to get you talking to them so they can make the offer and steer you to where what you want is "available" for a price.

If you are into that kind of thing they will set up a metting with someone who will negotiate the price and take your money.

Then that guy you taked to before will meet you on the street, and do a 'passby" handing over a packet of the drugs you bought as he brushes by you..

That won't be drugs, just talcum powder!
