And I failed to spell-check my own word, 'teachers', not 'teaches'. Pot calling the kettle - but I don't profess to be an English teacher

For an English teacher, you too appear to have poor skills: As my boss who is a master, not 'as my boss was a master'. (Unless he is dead of course). converse not, 'conversate'. only of importance, not 'of important'. A big change is needed, not 'a bit of a big change' but nowhere in Thailand can you, not, 'but nowhere in Thailand you can' 'and everything should be in Thai'. (I have no idea what this might mean, it appears contradictory to your previous statement and it doesn't make sense. former backpackers were better at teaching, not 'former back packers were better to teach' Normally, I wouldn't comment on things like this - but you openly state you are/were an English teacher, yet you are demonstrating multiple errors in your post while suggesting that Thai teaches are not up to the job. Nor are you then. My English is not perfect, but I certainly wouldn't criticise someone who cannot even spell check his own English. Moderators can delete my post if it is not appropriate.

Are you a member of the case study police? Who do you think you are to challenge a perfectly reasonable statement, when you are too lazy to go and find out for yourself., Then, you may be, repeat maybe, in a position to challenge the OPs statement. This a forum - not your imagned interrogation station.

I don't understand. You are saying that there are many pick-up drivers on this forum? How many? How many Thai pick-up drivers do you think can speak/read English, let alone understand the innuendos, sarcasm and English inferences? Why would normal Thai pick-up drivers, with few educational skills, be swarming to read what we foreigners think or write? You are maybe confusing 'pick-up' drivers - those who are collecting friends, etc., with the common perception that pick-up drivers refer to Thais and their driving skills. And besides, foreigners would not obtain a work permit - it is job undertaken by Thais -which means foreigners aren't allowed to do it.

And underwear.

Meanwhile maybe more than a few Russian Expat/refugee/war escapees/deserters and crapping themselves and carefully avoiding the area. Particularly if any of them are aware of the historical 'Press Gangs' of the Royal Navy. Now THAT would be interesting, wouldn't it? You can see the headlines, "Russian warship Press Gangs 300 refugees to be sent to the front line in Russia. Thailand insists it is a misunderstanding!

If you trained in the '20s, does that mean you are a geriatric 120+ 'trained killer'?

Ooooh.....Bitchy! There's someone who doesn't like Brits. "Kamper' appears to be a german kind of word/name. I wonder where you got your prejudices. Particularly with all the other nationalities that appear to do the same. Most European countries spring to mind - emphasis on the French and German hooligans. You've got to spread your dislike around, see? Then, you don't get criticised .

Nonsense. Of course it's different. British police are not setting up secret police stations in Portugal. Chinese secret police stations are proven to be operating in UK, Europe and Canada - possibly the USA as well. Go back to your bar stool and stop trying to think.

The one who doesn't whine and moan about Thailand or the people and enjoys a simple lifestyle?

Hahaha. Brilliant! If the Chinese police approach you - ask them if they come from Taiwan and welcome to Thailand! Should go down really well.

Maybe Chinese Police and Chinese criminals are the same thing - they are everywhere else in the world.

The first guy was described as a foreigner. The second guy was described as an American. Makes you wonder at the nationality of guy No. 1. Russian or Chinese?

Edit to myself, Chinese tourist - not Japanese. (Two stories close together).

Which begs the next question, did the police visit the said Beer bar where this woman of high morals appears to have accepted the tourists bar fine and agreed to prostitute herself? After all, we all know it doesn't exist, especially in Pattaya don't we? The RTP are always telling us that - repeatedly, that they never find any evidence of such activity. However, a tourist from Japan found it easily enough though...........................!

Even more so when they discover that they don't know how to get them back to the surface .......

Very familiar with Bob's butt, are you?

To apologise to those unfortunate guys, she would need to identify herself. Understandably, I don't think she would do that. There's going to be a lot of men cra**ing themselves after reading this 'confession'

You talk about nonsense , yet you bleat pathetically about a god'. Hypocritical garbage. Lets hope, (without bothering to check), that your previous 422 newbie posts weren't as nonsensical.

So, what's your solution then? You failed to mention that. Please also, divulge your reaction, had this child been your four-year-old daughter being raped by this creature for up to 10 ten years. Even better, please inform us if you even have children, just to give us an insight to your saintly beliefs.

And you would know, yes?

There's nothing 'myopic' about my views - I fully recognize and understand the nature of what goes on in many countries around the world, including the good and bad aspects of Thailand. Nevertheless, I prefer to live here, rather than anywhere else - having travelled extensively throughout my life and I like Thailand very much. However, I see no reason why I should not speak up when I feel something is, in my opinion, unjustly promoted as 'click' bait.

Similar scams of shortchanging happened to my ex-wife and I in HCM many years ago. nothing alters, (I avoided the word, 'changes')!

The OP, his libido and his conscience.........

I have lived here in Thailand for 18 years. I have never felt disliked, uncomfortable, unsafe, or any other negative vibe from Thai people. I have been helped many times by Thai people from kindness, generosity, helpfulness, politeness and I think this post is offensive, deliberately aimed at degrading Thai people and I certainly have no wish to participate in the vulgar manner in which the choices are set out. I have noticed the OP on this forum on a number of occasions recently and find nothing pleasant contained in many of his other posts either. If someone is so anti-Thai people, then why, for heaven's sake, or you still here in this delightful country? Maybe try learning some Thai language, smiling at Thai people, dragging yourself of the bar stool, smarten yourself up, learn something about your host country and their customs and lay off of them. Another reason why I try to avoid conversations with foreigners such as myself. This biased and vindictive survey is worthless.
