What worries me the most is what about the stray dogs that come on my farm and kill my piglets or calf. The only way to stop it here is to poison them with food near the pen. I have yet to do this but I'm sure I will be forced to in the future because they already killed my first lot of piglets I bought. They only lasted 2 nights. I can't seek reimbursement from the apparent owners because they don't claim ownership. However, should I kill one of the dogs I am certain they will change their tune if they see a chance to demand compensation from me.

That is abhorrent behaviour and you should be punished accordingly.

What behavior? Can you not understand english? Or are you just being sarcastic?

Having a go at my English skills are you now, Mr American? Let's just say that if they were my dogs you poisoned, you murderer, you would not see the next light of day.

Great that she was found. Her family can be at ease now.

Absolute muppet, deserves jail time.

Excellent. If anybody harmed my dogs, it would be safe to say that there would not be much left of them afterwards. Pets are like family.

If you're not Buddhist and Thai, what the hell does his announcement have to do with you?

I've seen Japanese and Koreans throw 5 times as many 20 Baht notes at the gogo bas on walking street in one hit.

Once a Jap bloke threw a whole wad but the furl of notes didn't unfurl themselves and the whole bunch landed in my lap across the dance floor. Probably 50 notes. I had great fun dispensing them to the girls - Jap bloke looking very inscrutable across the room.

A Kiwi guy calling a Japanese guy a Jap. Why am I not surprised? Kiwis are one of the most racist, culturally insensitive people on the planet. NZ is a backwater sh*thole in the middle of nowhere.

At least one can drink here unlike Islamic countries.....have a whine peoples. Blardy hell!

There's a lot of hatred on this forum for young people, for western women, and for Thailand in general.

This story seems to have created an ideal opportunity to attack all three at once, hence the ensuing flood of bile.

What an unpleasant place this can be at times.

Sad, bitter, angry men..

Hope she is found soon, best wishes.

Preposterous idea at best....good luck enforcing that UK.

Things are only getting worse in Thailand given the current economic climate.....be careful everyone, lock those doors etc!

I do, however, hope that BEin will allow True to screen the IMG Productions channel from the UK (CTH Stadium 6 at present) rather than their (BEin's) own punditry.

I also hope that True won't let their obsession with extensive live coverage of basketball, tennis and golf get in the way of their EPL coverage (live and recorded), like it did before.

But most of all I trust that we won't see any return of that geeky Thai guy with thick-rimmed specs who frequently intruded on the start of IMG news and "Football Today" programmes with his "big important announcements" in the previous True era.

I second that, I really enjoy the IMG Productions, "Football Today" and the like.....top-notch analysis by the crew and guests.

For all their many and various well-documented faults CTH are, I think, at least to be congratulated on devoting 100% of Stadium 6 to the IMG channel. OK, it may have taken them nearly 6 months to get Stadium 6 off the ground in the first place, but, for a long time under the previous deal, True only broadcast IMG's News and "Football Today" programmes on their TSP1 SD channel (as interrupted by our geeky friend and his "big important announcements", of course). It was only during the final year of the previous deal that True finally got their act together as regards more extensive IMG coverage after launching their TSP HD2 channel - and, even then, this was far from 100% thanks to live basketball, tennis and golf events in particular, as I have already mentioned. So I only hope that history doesn't repeat itself under the new deal from the start of next season if True are sub-contracted by BEin.

Well said, we can only hope! Let's see what next season brings for us football-lovers...........

Thought you had to show your passport these days to change money? must admit a while since i used a booth

You are correct, or a copy is sometimes required. You would think more so for large amounts like this which is not really normal.

Whenever I swap foreign currency (albeit smallish amounts) for THB (at Super Rich International), they never ask for my passport, but when I want to buy foreign currency, they always ask for my passport. However, considering this is a substantial amount, a check of the passport should have been requested.

Ayrabs being dodgy................no wayyyyy.....

You should ask what a Thai thinks.....namely "What do you think of the foreign invasion of Pattaya, Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai and the like"? I highly doubt you would get a favourable response.

I think the guy from the another forum should stay there or join the Chinese forum if he thinks there good for Pattaya. I would rather eat with the Soi dogs , the Chinese are a pain in the ass. I was in DM airport the other day and nobody could get a seat at the gate as the Chinese decided to make beds out off them. There rude , loud and care about nobody but themselves. When the bus loads of them travel to Pattaya they block the streets and the side walks. Ask the room cleaners at the hotels they stay what there like.

and nobody could get a seat at the gate as the Chinese decided to make beds out off them.

I think you need to grow a pair, if you want to sit down, just tell them to move, if they won't

then you move them.

I have done just that at various airports from time to time.

Each time, all of them were Oriental or Asian so I guess they are the same, same as a China person...no different to me ...so the way I asked them to kindly get up and move so other people can use the seats to sit on was no different ( no discrimination at all on my part ) while some of them wake up and stare at you like they are entitled to take up four seats in a crowded airport and they are thinking they should resist the white skinned devil with the round eyes.

Sometimes I said: Better you sleep on the floor ..over there.

Cheers

Not the most worldly and politically correct individual......"Oriental", "I guess they are the same".....what a joker.

Wishing the girls a speedy recovery, terrible stuff. Also sad to see the usual "Thais are stupid, foreigners are demi-gods" posts, but hardly surprising.

Interesting thread with some interesting replies and a generally positive vibe to it which is a refreshing change from the usual cynicism! For me, I guess I have not lived here long enough to properly answer the question but what I can say is that I try and keep in touch by reading the online newspaper of my hometown daily. It would be nice to visit my hometown a bit more often, so that I am not too "out of touch" with what's going on there.

I like to watch the BBC London news online, just to keep up with what's happening back there - although I doubt I'll ever live there permanently again.

I would only move back to Australia if I divorced from my wife but I hope that never happens. It looks like I am here for the long haul!

This would be great news as I would not need to get another set top box. Hope TRUEVISIONS gets it! Funnily enough, I just received a new CTH set top box for free cos my last GMM box died or lost the rights or something like that.....

There is no excuse to kill other people and himself, the italian guy is in the wrong and the thai wife should never have brought a gun out as well. Feel so sorry for the kid.

Bloody hell, not again......it seems like a daily occurrence that a tragedy like this strikes. Something clearly needs to be done at the grassroots level because way too many lives are carelessly being lost.............

I don't know what the problem is with carrying a passport at all times while out and about in Thailand. I've been here for 8 years and I NEVER leave the house without it. It's small. It's light. It's easy to carry in my front pocket with a zipper so it doesn't fall out.

You are in a 3rd world country. You have to think for yourself here. It doesn't matter if someone tells you that carrying a copy is OK; you know the rules change all the time. Carry your passport when out at all times and you will never have a problem. <deleted>. How difficult is that?

Thailand is not a third world country.

OK, I'll play your silly game.

Yes it is.

The term, "third world country" refers to the cold war days, it was meant to identify those countries that were neither aligned with the West nor with the USSR, ergo, Thailand is certainly not a third world country and the term has been redundant for many many years. But if you're grasping for an economics term to describe Thailand, World Bank classifies it as a "developing country".

TVF doesn't contain the sharpest tools in the shed hey....good luck in educating the masses =(
