All I am getting from this is that there are too many Muslims

Could have been "gin kao leng" which is Isaan for dinner

Not much of a rebuttal

Who the hell would pay 100000 for a shag??

Lol, this gave me a chuckle.

Disgusting. Does anyone think this is more part of Eastern culture than Western?

How is On Nut 81 similar to Pattaya?

I dunno where you get the 5000 from, but there were plenty of Muslims worldwide dancing in the streets celebrating the rape and murder of innocent Israelis. Not to mention, all the arranged marriages, female genital mutilation, child brides, honour killings etc. etc. A quarter of the world's population? Damn! It'll be half in no time.

Why? I wouldn't say it about Judaism anyway.

It would be better for the world if Islam disappeared.

I can assure you, at least two Thai banks that I know of operate that way.

Two banks.

She had to pay 700 a day interest until she was able to return the initial loan. The 700 a day is just interest, not actually paying back the loan itself. She would still need to give back the whole 13,000, nevermind any interest paid.

Of course they do. They were to pay 700 a day interest until they gave back the initial 13,000 they borrowed. They paid 700 a day interest for 90 days, totaling 63,000 on interest. They could have given the loan shark back his 13,000 at any point and be free from it. How do you think it works exactly?

Tell that to my EX who was unemployed and used two cars as collateral to get a 1 million baht loan.

Yes, they do. You use the asset as collateral. If you don't pay, they keep the car.

Probably none of it.

I'd sooner throw a viper down my shirt front.

I have a friend in this business. It seems nothing but hassle.

Exactly. Use the pick up to borrow money from the bank or use the pick up to murder someone. Tough choice.

He could have used the car - assuming he owns it - to borrow from the bank. Probably could have gotten a few hundred thousand (against the car) if he wanted that much.........and at a relatively reasonable rate, too. Then, just give the loan shark back the original 13,000 baht to settle the debt. And then pay the bank back to get the carbook back over a number of years, at a few thousand baht per month. He'd still have a few hundred grand in his pocket from the car refinancing, so he wouldn't have to worry too much about missing payments and losing the car.

What happened?

Nope, not really. I appreciate Buddhism and Christianity. Can't say I am a full believer in anything. I disdain Thai Buddhism and I certainly ain't Catholic anymore, but that has nothing to do with coming to Thailand, and I probably was never really Catholic anyway.

I did find this interesting: - 98% of asylum seekers don't carry identification documents. You'd think they'd want to make their asylum claim easier with some form of ID, rather than making it difficult to identify them. - 90% are male. Why is that? Lol https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/press-release/668 Emphasis on the heading: Nearly 90% of those crossing in boats from safe countries are male Why are they coming to the UK from safe countries to claim asylum? Lol

I wai when I meet royalty, and a few others.
