you could get arrested before the border.

It would be interesting to know why you have an 8 month overstay

Unless you are an immigration officer, how would that information affect the answer to the OP, do you just want to have a go at him?

Everything made on the premises. Wide selection of fabrics. Clearly posted prices that are extremely reasonable. Free alterations after purchase (for a limited time. I think it's three or six months).

I get all my dress/work clothes from them. The quality is good, and I cen generally get 2-3 years out of a dress shirt and pair of trousers. IMO, worth checking out. Now they don't cater to tourists, so I hope your Thai is good enough

Whereabouts on Sukhumvit is their shop? I know that the link gives the address but unless you're familiar with the area it doesn't help much.

remove the commissions problem solved

The problem here is that commission is the only salary they get so it cannot be removed.

The bus company doesn't want to pay drivers. There are two levels in Thailand. The Chinese who own everything and the Thais who get screwed by the Chinese.

You're forgetting the 3rd level, those who don't know what they're talking about but then write abut it.

u bluddy liar, anyone driving a Mercedes has a maid to do that

Yes true must of been the maid

Must of....duh

Ten years ago, I loaned my, then, new Thai GF 300,000 Baht to buy a business (I never lend money I can't afford to lose). Three years later when she sold her business (she got a good offer on it), she paid me back every satang and without my ever asking. She is now my mia noi for seven years. I have loaned her money from time to time and she always repays. My Thai friends say she is extremely unusual for doing that; almost to the point of not believing me. She is very strict on herself and everyone around her so it makes me feel special that I pass her high standards of behavior. She is very hard but lovely. loyal, and hard working. I treat her like she is royalty; with honor and respect. I consider myself very lucky to have met her. The moral of my story is: never lend money you need to get back and live as if the money is already gone forever. Life may just surprise you... or not.

"...it makes me feel special that I pass her high standards of behavior...I treat her like she is royalty; with honor and respect.

What a joke. She obviously sets the bar very low when it comes to standards of behaviour and so do you if her standards make you feel special. It's a shame that you don't treat your wife with the same honour and respect that you give to your bit on the side.

Most people would see a much different moral to this story.

...that is..... 'what you are dealing with'......

...so get real about........... 'inflammatory posts'......

...you can't make this stuff up.......but it happens every day........

Another lucid post.

I guess you haven't been in Thailand long... prices for late model used cars, especially under 1 million when new have come down a lot the past couple of years, compared to the days when sellers expected 90% of the new price for a two or three year old car.

Thanks for that, but it doesnt explain why the older cars are are almost double the price in the uk.

Cars in Thailand start off being much more expensive when new than in UK so that is obviously reflected in their used price.

China, Russia, North Korea. And, now, Hezbollah. Who is left for Thai foreign policy to cozy up to? ISIS?

How do you work out that Thailand is "cozying up" to Hezbollah? By jailing one of their people?

What a joke Thailand is, terorrist caught planning to blow up the city 2 years, a bloke I knew who was involved with atm fraud sentence to 20 years but reduce to 5.

What a joke some posters here are. He wasn't caught or charged with planning to blow up anywhere, he was charged with possessing explosives, big difference. He was sentenced to nearer 3 years than 2.

The security guard finds him splattered on the ground at 3am. The police are notified at 7am - by the hospital. It begs the question, why weren't the police advised at 3am by the security guard. Or, would the hospital have notified the police if he had not died?.

All seems a bit odd.

He wasn't " splattered on the ground" at 3am, he was discovered injured and taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The hospital notified the police later when he died as they are obliged to do when a death occurs in circumstances such as this.

Nothing seems odd at all.

And the award for parenting of the year goes to?

What exactly did the parents do wrong???

I would say it's more a light hearted comment ..... the parent's are being irresponsible in letting / leaving the kid at home all day when he is going to just sit and play games ... not good imo.

They could have ensured he had something to do ... go to school , be involved in a sport , go to the library , ride his bike somewhere interesting , join a club with other boys , do part time odd jobs.

anything but .... sit on a game all day.

Have you ever heard of school holidays? Get a job, what?

Can someone explain to me why an 82 year old man needs a girlfriend?

For the same reason a man of any age needs a girlfriend.

Ah! Thai Buddhism....whats new! Really ....its getting horrid reading the news everyday and seeing what Thainess is all about. As i keep on repeating non-stop....this country and its people are beyond salvation. Just sit back and watch the fun each day.

"Thainess...As i keep on repeating non-stop....this country and its people are beyond salvation."

You do indeed, and the rational amongst us do wish you would stop, it's getting very tedious.

Dear Jacob,

Thank you for posting these news articles, but please stop inserting Googled photos which have no relevance to the story.

Jeez, we all know what a boy looks like. But a causasian lad??!

Either a photo specific to the story (the monk, or the temple), or no photo at all.

Yours etc, Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells

Absolutely right, Maslow needs reining-in big time.

And why was the owner too lazy to remove the key from the ignition. Jeez, it isn't that difficult.

And why should the owner have to worry about theft? Jeez, it isn't that difficult to not be a drunken thief.

I simply cannot figure it out. Why does the THai government, Immigration and Police allow nationals from Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Colombia, Mexico etc into Thailand. Most of them are either criminals or up to no good here. Really the Thai people should start petitioning their governemnet to bar certain nationalities from Thailand.

That was courageous, you'll have the PC heroes come down on you like a ton of bricks, they don't like anything said which interferes with their peppermint pink view of the world,even though they wouldn't let their daughters marry one

"they don't like anything said which interferes with their peppermint pink view of the world,even though they wouldn't let their daughters marry one"

Who in their right mind would allow their daughter to marry a "peppermint pink view"? What on does "peppermint pink" mean anyway?

because Muslims do not drink alcohol, I have to assume the bar was serving tea, milk and various juices.

Why would you bring that up? There aren't many bars that don't serve those items.

In a bar, is that not against their religion?

What religion are they, bearing in mind that there are tens of thousands of Iranians who are not, what I assume you are ignorantly referring to as, Muslim?

Even if they are Muslim, does Islam forbid followers from being in a bar? Pretty sure it doesn't.

Reading the local news everyday...it really amazes me about Thai people. Simply beyond salvation!

Reading the bizarre posts here every day really amazes me about foreigners who see an individual report about one Thai then apply that view to the entire nation. Those are the people that need help.

black magic appears to be prevail in thailand so many cases are hitting the news nowadays .

Such a ridiculous statement.

Apart from the case of the monk mentioned secondarily in this OP (the accused undertaker's case doesn't mention magic of any colour) name just one other "black magic" incident of the "many" that you claim are hitting the headlines "nowadays".

The former abbot was accused of using dead infants or foetus to make magic medication.

Another nail in the coffin of Thai-style Buddhism. How much deeper can the depravity go?

This has absolutely nothing to do with "Thai-style Buddhism" as you put it. How much deeper can the daft Thai bashing go?

Very odd, all the RIP-merchants are quiet on this one. Couldn't be because a police officer was the victim, could it?

I gotta side with the villagers on this one. A "phallus" symbol to attract tourists? Just what kind of tourists were they hoping to attract?

They weren't trying to attract tourists, that word was never mentioned, they were trying to attract more visitors to make merit, i.e. locals more than likely.

Somchai said to Bammy: "Look at that giant phallus carved from a big brown log!"

Bammy said: I didn't know they came in sizes or colours! Let's go to the temple!

Somchai said: I'm not going to make merit today, and as I have told you so many times, (he grabs his crotch) and says, "This is three meters!"

Bammy said: Let's go to the temple. I want to make merit with a three meter phallus!

Somchai said: I have three meters!

Bammy said: Ok, I'll google conversion tables on my smart phone.

Somchai said: OK...

Bammy said: What are inches?

Edited to say... This is satire

Couldn't be farther away from satire.
