As you folks may know, it is equally often that the Thai wife steals everything from the gullible and trusting husband, google Ian Rance to get the story of one guy. He fought back with lawsuits and got himself into quicksand, yet he ultimately prevailed with an excellent Thai law firm (maybe a few brown envelopes) But he went through emotional heII, with his passport confiscated etc. Fortunately she didn't take everything and had the money to pursue this through Thai courts.

You are missing that the replacement document was likely forged after the guy got his hands on it. Unlikely that he could sell anything without proof of majority ownership. The original was probably kept safe by his wife. This presumes that this was the typical 51-49 split with the Thai person having majority. He likely only had to change those numbers, which would generally be a simple thing.

Wise is a lot faster than they used to be. I was shocked on Saturday when my transfer of $1000.00 US was instantaneous. Which is good because I need some emergency dental work. It isn't always THAT fast, I think the variables come about depending on business hours of the participating banks and the amount of internet traffic on any given time. Holidays usually cause an extra day. But at least they're up front about fees, and they always charge the actual exchange rate. I don't keep an account with them, I just go bank to bank directly. Been doing it for years. Their customer service is pretty good too. Wonder how much money Western Union has lost to these honest and efficient options?

Heartbroken Irish mum honours ‘special son’ lost on Koh Tao
Jonathan Swift replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Regardless of the surrounding circumstances, or whether people want to lecture on carelessness or not, it always makes me so sad to see young people come here and then die tragically in the midst of the experience of a lifetime. The anguish of the families is, like they say, heartbreaking. -
Very insightful although sometimes mental illness/impulse control/psychosis is at the root, also alcoholism can bring out the worst in people. Some people are OK until they have one drink. To expand on your point, that role model is interpreted on a deep level to represent the way people who love each other behave to each other. Nonetheless, it's reprehensible cowardly behavior.

Thrips eat fungus. How are you identifying them?
-
First of all Septoria does not infect people, it is strictly a plant fungus, mostly infecting tomatoes. You should see a doctor and refrain from self diagnosis. The insect is a harmless katydid, any insect which is green is a harmless (to humans) plant eater whose green color camouflages it amongst leaves

You could've warned me guys !
Jonathan Swift replied to Bens-Journey's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Wait, have you come across the squat toilets with the water reservoir and water scoop/bowl yet? And no bum gun? Be afraid, very afraid, especially if you haven't brought your own toilet paper. -

It just boils down to trial and error and experimentation. Wear a mask at first until you get the spay under control. Be careful about spraying your giblets all over the place, you might have to hose the whole place down with bleach in that case. Under high pressure it gives an enema at the same time, nice and clean for the ladyboys. You can soap up for a second round and get clean enough for them to eat off of. At the same time you can inspect for hemorrhoids while you're down there. -
Thai woman defends drunk foreign boyfriend in Pattaya crash
Jonathan Swift replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
I don't think most people set out to drive drunk, they just have no self control once they start, along with a fair amount of irresponsibility in their personality for failing to plan ahead. Seems like there will be no end to this kind of thing. I'm not a hypocrite, I was an alcoholic and did jail for drunk driving. I once rear ended someone very slightly by not braking quickly enough. No injuries thank god and that was the last time I got drunk. I don't drive at all except for motorbikes in less populated areas, as you said there are so many alternatives, and my drinking has diminished to near 0, I just don't want to put myself into that state, I don't like it, and I like to take in all of life's details as well as remember them clearly. The thing about these people is you don't know how much of this behavior is triggered by the alcohol and how much is the person they actually are. Some people are Jekyll/Hyde personality drinkers, perfectly nice until the booze hits and then instant ɑsshoIe. I feel especially bad for the vendor who couldn't afford his own hospital care. If I'd been there I would have helped with that. Hopefully his head injuries won't have lasting consequences. -

Just a sec, I'll check everything. Oxygen, good. Airflow good, reasonably tight. Toilet and stink? Well I guess I'll have to call for professional help on that. -
