I don’t know why the police/ authorities don’t fine them heavily deport and banned ? Surely that would bring them in a lot of money? Think of all the idiots causing trouble in Thailand on a daily basis .

I buy in Marks and Spencer’s as I like their decaf tea. Bring loads with me, and ask friends to bring for me too. M&S is expensive in Thailand tho. I bought some in Central Festival.

This isn’t about the temple , it’s to stir up politics. They want her out.

Mishap??? I’d have stronger words for this tragic flight.

I was walking near my hotel The Cockpit in Singapore and hailed a taxi . It was a police car and they didn’t smile, just left, but a few minutes later a taxi turned up and said the police had called them for me. Nice.

Same same but different.

I don’t think this temple was very well known until the spat caused by the PM . Now it seems lots of people are going there. And always a cause for trouble .

I hope they have figured all the costs , and they probably have a good nest egg from house sale, savings etc. My nephew went to Australia with a special license for driving those monster trucks , very happy there. His brother in Dubai making a fortune in construction company, my cousin is in S Africa and has a VIP job, his brother is oceanographer in Australia, I have lots of other family in Canada, even my friends from grammar school are abroad. I’m in France. And we all grew up in sleepy Wales. It’s just figuring out your what you want in life, and doing your best. Added to that if you have family you can count on it’s a bit like insurance. No one in my family have taken advantage of that so far.

I remember one who thought he was swimming in soup, he was completely hysterical.

Yes I’m UK born but left at 16, lived in Spain, Austria, Switzerland and France so speak all 4 languages fluently. I don’t avoid foreigners and I’m your average, polite and normal self, I think. Never had this in other countries and I have loads of friends from them and many , plus Thais, from my time on Phuket 84 to 2005. I think it’s just not having the same interests.

The Waterfront on Netflix. A bit on the gory slde. Series.

I have a home in a small seaside town in the South of France. Since the early 1900, we’ve always had a Casino. It’s bankrupted quite a few pensions in my time here , and made a few happy for sure as it’s somewhere to go, often bet a free drink. As I’ve worked with an all Asian staff since the mid 70s, I can confirm that there’s been many catastrophic situations, one older Vietnamese lady actually lost her house , many couldn’t feed their family and were living on pay advances all their life. We fed and clothed many kids on our money.One small family lived in their car which I didn’t know for a good while. The father had gambled away the apartment. He worked for us and we got them an apartment, but he lived on hand outs and lied constantly. He went on to have 5 kids and the family benefits went into the casino. No, casinos will not do Thailand any good. Although they might not be able to enter the big ones, there will be “ side effects” , just as there was with the legalization of Cannabis. It will get out of hand, and Thai government and police force will not stop it.

Well I don’t know where these places are and I never go to places like soi6 or Walking Street at night. And I spend all my long winters in Pattaya.

Agree, Nobody is a worse person than Hun Sen.

Silly thing to say, 13 yrs old, thought it was his stop. Boat left. Easily done.
