I spent a week in Luxor in the '90s. I had won a prize for a week in that location. Non-stop harassment from sellers, from the airport - continuing all week until our departure. Food was bland. Drinking water was the main problem. Diarrhea rampant. Ice contaminated as well. Ex-wife and I spent 2 of our 6 days - in the hotel room, on the toilet. Valley of the Kings was interesting, but not the boring dialogue of our guide. It was also, ultra hot. Good luck living there.

Islam all over. The peaceful religion.

When little miss pretty was chasing her political dream of following Thakkis footsteps, does anyone remember her huge posters of electioneering, waving a Samsung Galaxy Notebook in the air? "One for every student in Thailand" was her battle cry! What they got was a typically cheap, measly unsupported, badly-made copy of some Chinese garbage. Thousands of them arrived - late, of course........ Most of the cheapy 'tablets' died within months of delivery, no supporting technology, most schools without the electricity/internet services to run them and no manufacturer's guarantee of maintenance an all the other related issues. The kids played games on them! Oh, and the rice disaster. Massive pilfering from the hundreds of rice warehouses nationwide and the sale of cheap foreign rice as 'Jasmine' Thai rice - at those prices. Remember? I do. Yup! Let's return to Shinawatra democracy, Yay!

Most posters on this forum have no idea what the Isle of Wight is - let alone know where it vis or how big it is! Most Brit haters probably think it is a white island.

You don't get to know someone on a dating app - AT ALL! You don't even really know if they are male or female, young or old, good or bad. You are courting disaster to do so. I really feel for this young woman - trying to live her dream.

Thank you for your dreary post. I don't have a digital wallet. I use cash. I don't want a digital wallet. I get hacked off - standing in a queue while waiting for some tosser to fiddle with his phone, sometimes up to 2/3 minutes, and I am 6th in line and another 4 Digital wallies in front of me. I have lived in Thailand 20 years. I get to the check out, the cashier rings it up I pay the money and am gone in 60 seconds. I don't understand. What is so difficult about that? Not once in all that time have I ever felt unsafe carrying cash around with me. Why mend something that ain't broke? Most of these wallety plonkers are just trying to be clever. They actually come across as tossers trying to impress. Now, if you really want to know what I think? ....................

Hypocrisy at its best when reading such a juvenile statement from a supposedly western educated person. Plus, of course, the use of a worthless phrase such as 'init'!

I don't know why, the guy didn't even have as stomp-on, while the unattractive looking female jiggled like she was possessed. Nothing sexy or sexual about it.

In this case - lucky you. I'd be a bit more particular, personally. As my ex-wife once said to me when I was chatting to some girl at a party, "Any port in a storm, eh"? (Better than a shipwreck, I thought). That's when the fight started. We divorced soon after! Mind you, this woman wouldn't look so unattractive with a carrot-shaped object stuck between her teeth, I suppose ...... Hey Ho - that's life.

Bit of a dog - even by my standards.

I have a glass jar full of them. I'm not sure if the banks take them. Possibly about 200-300 hundred coins collected over the years. I doubt the amount would be more than 200Baht. If the banks took them, I would happily give them to one of the market blind Thai musicians. I'd rather they have them than just throw them away.

you know women who still wear transparent nighties? Are all these women under 90? still, nothing like a sag-grab ....... Hahaha.

Disgraceful that a male doctor, of any nationality, should have the authority and the ability to examine a woman in such a way, when no female nurse is present. It definitely smacks of sexual gratification and he should be charged accordingly.

All of a sudden, Anutin appears to have been elevated to the ranks of senior military officer, all decked out in medals, pretty badges and his 'rakish' beret splattered all over his baldy head. He might want to soar with the eagles, but he still quacks like a duck! He was in construction, wasn't he?

Not necessarily, if they were Chinese. Personally, I have no problem where a small child urinates in the street under the protection of its parents. It's one of the things that very young children need & do in many countries. However, the Chinese are well known for their lack of social graces of the when , how & where they empty their bowels. An incident occurred in CM a year or so back, where some Chinese woman decided to have a dump in the moat around the city. She too was photographed. They're not the most sophisticated of people. Oh, and I agree with you about the other incidents as well.

Oooh, clever, fun you! You've done everything , haven't you? Such a clever boy! clap clap! 1st class muppet.

The picture of the monk with his right leg, entrapping the young boy is not an innocent pose of simply hugging. He's trying to get his leg over! Pedo!

It's a pity your moral viewpoint isn't reciprocated when it comes to these freaks manhandling tourists against their will and thieving what they can.

I disagree! I think I would find it very easy to beat this lowlife. A crowbar can break anything, yes?

Is that so? And how do you know that? Who are they? Why not name them them? Just being a little bit petulant and bitchee -scratch your eyes out mentality? Nobbers do that And where do you come from lady?

Good riddance - hope you Yanks are happy with it - we are! Even with his drug taking - should fit in well. Particularly with the corrupt administration that allowed him in initially, Despite his own admission of addiction. Great news - less tax pilferers for the UK. All we need now is to stop hearing about him and his trashy wife.

There are 2 mistakes in this headline: Xi Jinping’s bullet train grift offer sparks China-Thailand railway and brown envelope reality There - I've fixed them.

Oh, one of these turgid, monotonous and predictable whiners again.

We tried that - check your knowledge of history - you obviously don't like Aussies either. Where do you come from Mr. 'Safety first'? La La Land? No losers of your own? Just vindictive and saddies - like you, eh?

Wow! Aren't you just the sexy one - to have engaged in so many public displays of sexual activity. Was it due to the action of your left hand or your right hand? Do tell........ 'Handsome man'...... !
