  1. I believe all Thai hostages have been released now by the terrorists but you need to ask yourself what political purpose did it serve by them taking Thai nationals hostage in the first place? Also the massive Irony is there seems to be a backlash against Israelis currently in certain parts of Thailand and it was the Israelis that negotiated their freedom, just goes to show some backward political thinking by this country sometimes.
  2. Poor terrorist lets not have any anti-islam/anti-terrorist statements please Angela Rayner will be coming for you (and not in the happy way)
  3. "Thai math" now there's an oxymoron if ever I've heard one
  4. Because it rhymes with Pie?
  5. I am not saying Clowney is incorrect but they do look like twins
  6. Just bomb the cr4p out of Gaza as a previous poster said the people elected the terrorists so they hold the ultimate responsibility for who run's their country.
  7. Confused with this response 🙂 Are you saying that the trump BS coin is crypto fraud? Invisibility I guess totally different to transparency 🙂
  8. I think the conflict of interest ship probably sailed before the inauguration!
  9. Go lettuce would be nice if she talked as much sense in her previous 49 days of national torture rather than destroy the pound and crash the stock market. "Muskrats" gotta love that though!
  10. Definitely different engines and depending on the engine different styled results will be returned the most common ones being chatGPT which offers several models that can return results faster but maybe less accurate or up to date on the smaller models and some that are specifically aimed at different subjects like coding. I have been setting up local AI's like deepseek and others using ollama and open-webui which essentially look and act the same as chatGPT with my favourite bonus all your questions if any are sensitive are not stored on someone else's server, to run some of the larger models to get true chatGPT results and performance you would quite an expensive computer, however most of the mid range models will run happily on a PC with a decent graphics card.
  11. Final post for the evening and I'll probably wake up in the morning and regret it, they should just euthanise this guy and cremate him in the closest river cheaper for everyone including the begging go fund me community too many holes in the story but looks like they have got a few UK locals to contribute so all good, that's the UK for you we will give our country away to anyone liars, terrorists, liberals, immigrants even that waste of oxygen Angela Rayner who needs euthanised herself with her bullsht policies
  12. Same as that James Sangwine guy that got lost in Bangkok and ended up dead and there was a go beg me site to get his body back to the UK. No more information publicly available what happened to him, is it really his family want privacy or they are embarrassed about him taking a drug overdose or killing himself with alcohol after people have donated to his go beg for me site. Lots of suckers on AN berated many people who questioned and poked fun at a young lad getting lost in Bangkok (even though nobody knew his fate) I hope all the opinionated AN members donated towards his (alleged by me) addictions, they all seem to be quiet now the same as his family who were quicker to set up a begging site than let people know who donated what his fate actually was. I smell the same here where a family can't put the name of their loving father on their begging pay for my holiday page. I have a new idea for a website gofundmy-alcohol-drug-addictions-and-lack-of travel-insurance dot com, even though everyone else is expected to have that insurance? gobegforme dot com should be shut down.
  13. Not even sure why they did a go beg for me campaign anyways they haven't made enough for a one night stay yet if it is truthful they are paying 3k a night in there. There might be some suckers in this forum that could bump up the pay for my holiday .com site. They are still after another 43 thousand pounds out of the begging 45k request any takers?
  14. Simple answer go back to England where you are taken care of for free along with immigrants in the NHS, although the amount of immigrants in the UK now would probably increase waiting times
  15. I like that answer I can't afford my birds any more I need to start a go fund me
  16. Some of my previous posts might sound uncaring, but I have donated to friends medical care before but not through a website like gofundme that take a reasonable chunk of commission from every donation made, it is not a caring website it is designed to make money, I have given money directly to the family of someone I care about that ensures they get 100% of the money I choose to donate to help. Also I don't want to break the AN rules but I don't think direct gofundme links should be posted in stories, even though there is no specific referrer HTTP parameter that is of benefit to AN, the way websites work is they can always tell where a link coming to their site was referred from. If you had have googled his name you would not have found the gofundme page as they forgot to put the loving fathers name on there (oversight or legal protection on behalf of the beggar?) AN could refer to the final part of the slug link and anyone wanting to donate could do so with a simple google search. May get this post removed but it is legally and technically correct.
  17. Yeah spot on with your response to this @newbee2022 this is a freedom of speech website, Labour and Angela Rayner haven't got their hands on it yet, as long as nobody breaks the rules @geisha so you have no right to be rude with anyone unless you are part of the gofundme and we are not aware?
  18. Alright I get that also and thought about that, so as a retired lorry driver seems to manage these in my experience relatively expensive holiday destinations but can't afford his hospital bills?
  19. Can anyone else not see the flaws in this gofundme? The photo of him and his daughter/wife/fundraiser is either in India or Thailand, meaning the person that has set up the begging account was either on holiday with him, visiting him as he lives here or also lives in Asia and has tried her luck at a gofundme. The begging page says he fell ill in Bangkok but other available information seems to say he checked himself into a hospital in Hua Hin, there is a lot more to this story than the gofundme or this article suggests. The amount of money they are trying to raise is crazy also 45 thousand pounds. I think there may be an element of truth that he has fallen ill in Thailand but I suspect he was living here. There is no mention of his name either on the begging site. And the only information about his misadventure is reported by AN.
  20. If you read his gofundme it says along with the wrong city he fell ill in that he is "Normally fit and healthy with no pre-existing conditions", story is full of holes. So getting travel insurance cheaply from his bank covering his entire trip whatever country he went to should not have been a problem might have been a little more expensive for his age but probably money well spent given the current circumstances. Shoulda, coulda, woulda up to the family to pick up the pieces now, not a very intelligent traveler to put the burden on them.
  21. Gofundme should set up a sideline business of travel insurance and then would be able to pre-empt the: "Go to Thailand don't worry you don't need travel insurance everyone else will pay for you should you fall ill or misadventure" I have explicitly told my family if I am ever unable to get hold of my money because I am incapacitated I do not want a gofundme set up for me, if I die I want cremated in my favourite park in Thailand, I am reasonably confident I can self-insure myself (touch wood) without having to get the rest of the world to donate otherwise I would not be in this country.

  23. Most UK banks provide well covered travel insurance for under 20 quid a month, unless the guy is living here then why not just pay 60 quid for 3 months travel insurance? Also the article says he was hospitalised in Hua Hin, however the gofundme request says it was in Bangkok. Possibly a few unknowns to this story.
