    Some of the expats in Thailand love to imitate the locals and love their drink. A lot of those on the forum. Just look at the howls of displeasure when alcohol is banned for a day.

     

    If guilty send him to jail and then ban him from entering Thailand. 2 people died and if he was drunk its an unforgiveable act.

    Arick must be the dumbest retard on here to haha your comments. I fully endorse what you said roblokk.

    The regime has once again decided to protect the bigger guy, over the smaller guy. This will not go over well, internationally. Everyone will see right through this badly engineered PR stunt. When faced with jail, and who knows what else, many of us would prefer to "apologize". 

    The guy was a complete jerk, petty and arrogant for his comments, it's tough enough for any business to succeed at any time without the extra burden that the pandemic has placed on the hospitality industry, he got off very lightly in my opinion

    Must be great to be one of those perfect human beings who never makes mistakes or does anything stupid. Shame on you. What's worse - stupidity, or your calloused lack of basic compassion and humanity? In case you didn't read this thoroughly, his injuries suggest he will be crippled for life if he even survives. And he deserves that because he was careless with his own safety? You know nothing about this guy's life. How do you know what kind of person he is - family, friends, etc.;  he likely has a much bigger heart than the likes of you. According to the original story this was a good man who did a lot of good for those around him. I for one have sympathy for the poor guy, and hope he recovers for his sake and for those who care about him. What he learns or doesn't learn is up to him if he is ever able to use his mind again enough to think about it. Sucks to be you, hopefully you won't have to fracture your skull before you learn what you need to learn to become a better human being. 

    He's still stupid and irresponsible to fly around on a motorbike without a helmet, especially in Thailand. He looks like another invincible hardman farang and that's why there's so many negative comments, we've seen so many of them come and go over the years, I won't be donating.

  4. I think this topic may have been covered before but I've searched high and low on the forums but to no avail.

    My taste in beer isn't suited to the local beers and I want to try.my hand at homebrewing, so any help with suppliers of brewing equipment and beer kits would be much appreciated. Before it's mentioned, I am aware that it's supposed to be unlawful to produce beer and spirits without a licence but I also understand that it's ok if not for resale. TIA.

  5. Thais are no different to the younger generation in the western world, buy now pay later. My father taught me a hard less when I wanted to borrow £25 in 1965 to insure my first car, he simply said, "no I'm not going to lend you the money, if you can't afford it then don't have it and take my advice don't go around borrowing of friends or banks, work and save for what you want." I hated him for it but took his advice which has stood me in good stead to this day.

    By coincidence I was discussing the problems of the borrowing habits of some Thai families going to money lenders or shall we say loan sharks and losing their land because they can't repay without borrowing more.

    Wow, that is over the top if you actually had the money in the bank, seasoned, or 12 months income. But tell  us what 'service' you actually required. Did you have a Non-Imm-O already or an existing extension, or did he convert from a Visa Exempt or Tourist Visa entry? Did the service include a re-entry permit, single or multiple? These have costs.... 

    Just wondering why yours cost so much, as I think I know who you mean and thought his price was somewhat less. 

    It was for the 15 months with multiple re-entry. Yes it appears he has different prices for different people, depending on their perceived financial status. I do it myself now so every cloud has a silver lining.

  7. One rip off agent charged me 32,000 thb for this service and I had the funds. he incidentally is probably the best known agent in Pattaya excluding Paul King. What it did do was make me deal with immigration myself which is not as convenient but a darned sight cheaper.

    Clearly a gift here.    Perhaps you should consider kidnapping her ( if she is not in the US),  take her back to the US where, if what you say is correct, demand the return of the ring !!

     

    Or else just put it down to experience, and next time, if you are so mercenary about giving gifts to people you love at some stage in your life,  just get engaged to yourself !!!

    My sentimens too, she's probably best shot.

    I suspect that the last thing any of these heroic guys would want is a load of hype and attention bought upon their acts of bravery.

    A cold beer would be more valued by them and a simple  " Thank you " would suffice 

    I think from reports that I read they made it clear they wouldn't be doing media interviews, true heroes.

    exactly..their job was to be at the front exploring unknown territory to find the boys because they have 50 years of cave diving and rescue experience...these guys have balls of steel...the rest of the team were the backup especially the other divers who had to transport dozens of air tanks to strategic locations in the cave via the rope line that the two Brits had laid...Hurrah for the Brits and Boo to the posters trying to minimise their skill and courage

    100% with you there johnny, hope you find the other sock...lol
