'Residents are urging authorities to relocate stray dogs off the island' That's an excellent idea. Relocate them to a boat, drive them out to sea an relocate them in the ocean. Job done!

So.......... you too then?

More like a sagging belly!

Your pathetic approach in regard to these mongrels is clearly misguided. Of course they are likely to bite someone and you didn't even establish that they were house/garden or domestically trained. Why wouldn't you do that? However, you too sound like a grumpy old man with no friends or love in your life as you don't mention asking anyone else for advice - only on this forum. What does that say about your personality traits? How accurate is that? I thought his post was a sensible response to your question. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

The kind of silly answer that is appropriate for a silly fabrication like yours!

Grow up. Everybody pays, girlfriend, wife, mistress, hooker - whatever you choose - you pay! The only difference is - a hooker is more likely to give you something in return that you didn't want! But more likely - she'll give you more of what you don't get from the other three categories......

Except stupidity!

Why do you need to know?

Let's see how you handle the cartel that is just about to terrorise your country.

I too, read your post, start to finish. I have been a teacher here in Thailand, for 19 years. I had previously taught in the UK for 2 years and underwent 3 teaching courses to arrive where I am today. Your experiences are not unusual and I too have seen just how bad some schools are and have been. It is part of the learning curve. It was a public school; they are envious and wary of someone who is different from them, expressing enthusiasm and a desire to teach properly. I can see how and why you appear to have been treated so shabbily. I don't agree with it, but that is how it is here. Just keep on looking. If you are meant to become a teacher here in Thailand, you can make can success of it. Private schools are far more pleasurable and friendlier than government schools. Teaching in Thailand isn't for everyone - you can see that by some of the above comments. The kids will love you for who you are, what you say and how you are in your classroom. It is trial and error until you reach the stage that you are comfortable. It takes time. Good luck.

Plan where you get your pharmacy items for when you are possibly rejected. You won't want to visit there any more after that.....

I have the greatest admiration for the grandmother who appears to have saved her grandson's life, losing hers in the act - a truly selfless act, but the "suddenly, they fell" description is very vague and doesn't really explain much. The original poster to whom you replied, was correct. How did they manage, together, to slip so easily into the canal? There is an element of 'avoidance' here, such as not allowing herself or the small child to be anywhere near where they might place themselves in danger. But then again, but for the grace of god, who doesn't make an error of judgment once in a while. Most of us do, but usually without disastrous results. Hindsight is a wonderful process. Sad for the grandmother and the family. Hope they ensure the child grows up to remember her sacrifice.

Does any 'one' of them have bronchial problems by any chance? Isn't bronchitis a virus that is transmittable?

Kluckin' clucky, I guess.

And there you have it folks. Smokin' Jimmy boy comes on here, slagging off his GF because she doesn't speak perfect English and he can't speak Thai or English very well. Smoky - your post alone tells us all we need to know about your relationship. I can imagine her frustration when you correct her for everything. The previous poster to whom you are replying to hit it on the head! She'd be better off without you. Never mind - you can move on and criticise someone else.......

Actually, with a mindset like that, prostitutes should be very happy you haven't 'done' them!

OK. None of your business!

Doesn't say much for your 'cavity' then ..............!

OK, Rome or Canterbury, Kent, UK Same same!

Decidedly petty and unnecessary remark from this poster.

That's a typically moronic viewpoint - from a typical Brit hater. May I also say that I hope the same happens to you and that you post the event on here, including pictures. You'll probably provoke somebody into doing the same to as well, thereby deserving such a beating, yes? And we can gloat just like you over your misfortune.

Until you talk back up, that is. Then you can choke on it too......

Yes, and don't you just love the carefully crafted,tearful, young-and-in-love couple holding hands, while he, 29 years-old, delivers his tear-jerker and pathetic excuse ? Brilliant! Unbelievably, and pathetically weak sentence. Rest assured, this little play-act will be replicated world-wide as an excuse. They knew exactly what they were doing! But at least we all know now that there will be a thorough investigation as to where the stuff came from, who they bought it from and even more importantly - how they managed to bypass Thai security at the airport, yes?

Your posts seem to attract the expression. 'Duh'! Suits you........

Well put. I tried to listen to this video but he reminded me of Trump - he didn't seem to finish a sentence and I was unclear as to how, where or when all his troubles began, continued at and because of what? I fell asleep and stirred after he finished. I've been living here in Thailand for 20 years. Prior to that I backpacked throughout Asia and I was in my 50s and early 60s. It was up to me to safeguard my travel, visa, money, plans, etc., and I didn't go whining on FB or anywhere else, simply because it didn't exist at that time. Sorry to say that this guy is a loser and needs to take a long hard look at himself and get back home to sort himself out. He never mentioned family, but they should be his first contact.
