Thanks for sharing Colin. A lesson to be learnt for all of us from a country that cannot be trusted but there are rays of sunshine hiding there and looks like you have found yours. Good luck.

The bigger, the louder and more expensive the motor, the smaller the c***

I'm on foot most of the time. Too tight to buy a car. Its so bloody expensive here along with everything else.

"civil war" I hate to say it, but it seems its the only way they will ever be free.

= Keep foreigners out so all the money stays where it is thank you. Keep them poor, undedicated and stupid then they cant ask questions and don't know any better. Where would the UK be if they only took in "Whites". Ridiculous notion being presented from another recalcitrant hell bent on the Status Quo prevailing which ensures an austere life continues for the majority and Thais too gutless to do anything about it. Poms would not put up with this crap that is for sure. The complaints box would be full!!

It is a nice story and it shows we cant generalize (Including me) and try to focus on the positive things in LOS

Why all this rage with such crap beers available? They would have been better off with a 2 hour consultation with the lovely Book-ee at Paradise massage.

Wonder how much tax she has actually paid.

Jai Dee Duey (Kind heart) for sure.

The problem is not the mosque itself but the NOISE that the Muslims make. Fancy this (and I am sure many of your have experienced it), sleeping well, then you hear this a hole at 4am calling to prayer and it just goes on all day with "Updates". Who the hell wants to listen to that. Best its not build at all but if it is they should insist that no call to prayer is allowed as is the case in the UK and Singapore - Muslims need to have consideration for people who do not share their religion and lifestyle.

One thing that really pissed me off in an office toilet was coming in and seeing other staff either shaving or brushing their teeth - In a small bathroom. That is for HOME!! not the bloody office. People eating cereal at their desks are just plain idiots.

Oh give him a break, its hot, stressful on the roads, people get impatient and don't think. Like a Thai office things will be a completely different world tomorrow.

They definitely did a better job than the Malaysians.

This is beyond belief. Where is Malaysia's effort and funding to find their plane? Leaving it to the good heart Aussies.

Too busy preying at the Mosque while the families suffer. I remember their transport Minister "Just came back from Prayers" before one of his updates of achieving sweet FA

I made a huge load of lovely Farfalle pasta with Kalamatta Olives, Cayene Pepper, Lovely fresh tomatoes, capsicum, 10 year old red wine, olive oil etc etc its bloody good. I wish I could give you some as I have too much and don't like to keep it more than two days.

I implore you to spend some time making your own food, you will love it, learn more about food and health and it will be cheaper too and save loads on hospital bills!!! I am now happily at the point where I can whip up a Thai red or green curry without having to look at the recipe that tastes better than what I have had over there.

Tip: Make sure you buy a good quality wok it will last longer and food taste better.

I went to that "Restaurant" once and only once when killing some time waiting for a bus in Ubon. Absolutely the worst pizza in the world, no idea. You are better off at the many smaller shops that sell pizza all over Thailand. Thais don't seem to mind eating garbage that franchise is full everywhere you go also the owner is an ultra right wing conservative hell bent on paying slave wages to his staff.

Are you mad? There is no investment in Thailand that is secure. Take your sterling and buy a small house in a place like Berkshire which is a uni town and rent the thing out for a few years, in 10 years you can live off the capital growth.

I had quite the opposite experience with the TGF at the time. When I met her she mentioned that this Tom was infatuated with her and would not leave her alone. I never met this person but it came to a boiling point where the police were involved and finally this person left her alone.

This one is touching for me as only 6 months earlier to this poor girls death I was doing the same thing: rented a bike to see the lovely temples and surrounds. RIP and I hope they catch the person who did this if not they will pay for this upon their death anyway - Murder is not free, only fools believe otherwise and hell is full of them.

Like moths to the flame. How much love would there be if he said "Ohh sorry I already have a house in France, farang cannot own house and land here so we rent do you still love me?" Don't worry farang the lovely Nok on Soi 8 will take care u

What an honour to be allowed to "Wee with a Thai"

Kind of reminds me of the teaching records. Didn't matter what happened in class as long as the paperwork had all the stamps it was all hunky dory. Looks like he has got all his stamps from somewhere and he really looks happy.

I hereby recommend that a new worldwide cost friendly service be implemented in all hospitals. Install the "Cone of Silence" (Refer to Get Smart for example of how it works). Problem solved.

I am surprised you did not get laid. You have been here a long time why is this a surprise?

Look at who they worship in this country. One of the many gods is now a "Female Ghost inside a Tree"? Explains the open drains and poverty that's what you get when you worship false gods.
